The Better Half

We also had a Banana Walnut [$6], which was very dense. What we liked was that we could tell that the bananas used in this recipe were very ripe and sweet, and the the cake was dense. It was definitely one of the denser bananas cakes out there, and tastes good when washed down with an Americano to balance out the sweetness.

We also had an Apple Olive Oil Cake [$8.50], a flavour which intrigued us at the start. Who knew that olive oil, Granny Smith apple and cheese frosting could go well together? It was a delightful mix of flavours that danced on my tongue like a melody of sorts. I really couldn’t quite describe how well the different flavours melded together.

We had the Black Sesame [$7], a fragrant black sesame sponge cake with a layer of black sesame buttercream and coffee crumble sprinkled on top. Coffee crumble went superbly well with the fragrant black sesame.

Got myself the earl grey lavender [$6.5]. The lavender is not as strong as the earl grey flavor, but both do not come out strongly either. It is not jelak and quite filling too, however some might find the flavor to be too weak. Nonetheless I will come back to try their other bakes and makes. The place is really quaint (somehow it is good they reduce the indoor capacity otherwise it may be so stuffy) and super aesthetic!

P.S. They encourage BYO to save on packaging, and also cash payment (possibly to reduce commission imposed on credit card payment fees). Support small business!

The cake sponge was moist and flavourful. The rose and raspberry flavours were fragrant and complement each other alone with the light cream as well.

The pear crumble has fragrant filling and a crisp crumble on the crust which gives it that extra crunch.
