Cakes

My favourite was the chocolate cake, filled with dark chocolate mousse and a crisp base to add that crunch to it. This was the only one that tasted as good as it looks 😅

The apple tart was pretty good, I thought the buttery tart shell along with the caramelised apple went well together. The green apple on the tart was filled with cream which I guess made the tart look good but wasn't much in terms of flavour.

I was also attracted to Origin + Bloom because I've been seeing their bubble tea cakes on my feed but sadly they aren't available anymore 😩 The bazhang cake looks cute but that was it. The pulut hitam flavour wasn't enough so there wasn't much flavour in the cake.

The Mille Feuille's pastry was super fragrant and crisp. I usually have difficulty cutting through Mille Feuille but this was easy to cut and eat.

The Marron Poire was unique with rich chocolate, nutty chestnut and refreshing pear flavours combined together. The pear tart had a generous amount of pear and it wasn't too sweet.

The new York cheesecake was light in texture, somewhat in between the dense American cheesecake and the Japanese cheesecake. There's a citrus flavour in this which gives a refreshing twist to it too.

Truly Konichiwa Hojicha now that @dear.nesuto is selling it in slices! I had to think long and hard about getting it previously because they only sold the whole cakes. I got this together with the Yuzu Raspberry cake and both were really yummy. The Yuzu Raspberry was sweet with both the Yuzu Raspberry flavours providing a nice balance. I really liked the Konichiwa Hojicha with the robust nutty flavours in the cream and the sponge. They only accept online orders now so do remember to order online before heading down! 🤗

I'm always on the lookout for good crepe cake and am glad I found out about @twentylayers.sg recently! We got a lychee rose crepe cake and I was first amazed by how pretty it was. It tasted as good as it looks with the cream having a light texture, the lychee and rose flavours balancing each other well and there are lychee bits in the cake too 😋

Good Japanese cheesecake is hard to find in Singapore and I'm glad I found it at @kiroifreshlybakedcheesecake! The cheesecake was both fluffy and cheesy at the same time which made it difficult to stop eating it. One cake comes at $8 which is a super reasonable price too! Do remember to order via WhatsApp at least a day in advance to secure your order! 🤗

The black sesame mochi cakes have a crisp exterior while chewy inside and the black sesame flavour is fragrant yet not overly sweet at the same time.

This has rich and intense goma (black sesame) mousse with layers of fragrant goma crumble and sponge. The goma was very thick and nutty so I loved it a lot.

The hojicha Petit gateau was really robust in flavour while slightly sweet. I liked this a lot.
