It’s amazing how many new cafes and restaurants are popping out of the woodwork every other week in the neighbourhood. Truly we are living in the golden age of the East Coast Plan.

Hello Arigato is a name that might be familiar to some. They bring their minimalist Scandinavian vibe and famed beef sandos from Thomson to the east in Joo Chiat with a new outlet that's already packed with punters even though they've just opened.

By the time I had reached there at noon, their beef sandos were already sold out. Which was just as well since this delectable slice of cake was the perfect bite-sized appetiser before I feasted on Dickson Nasi Lemak 3 doors down. In terms of texture, it struck a perfect balance between moistness and crumbliness, with each soft bite melting easily in the mouth. The natural sweetness from the banana and umami nuttiness of miso melded in a harmoniously pleasant way that paired well with coffee.

Taste: 3.5/5
