I know this sounds boastful, but I discovered this cake shop–it’s true–way before any third-rate food critic knows of this place. You know why? Because I’m gay and Tanjong Pagar area is gay turf. When it just opened, I spotted it, went in. Although the shop closes at 7pm, the cakes were already sold out by 5pm. Moral of the story: be kiasu<\/em>, go early. This is the third time I went and FINALLY I got to eat some cakes.<\/p>\n

\n
We ordered:<\/div>\n
Napolean ($6.50)<\/strong><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n
Berry Berries ($5+)<\/strong><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
Classic Chocolate ($6.20)<\/strong><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The classic chocolate<\/strong> was ok. The cream was light and fluffy–very excellent–but the chocolate cake itself was dense, which brought down the ethereal nature of Japanese cakes. Still tasted delightful. 4\/5<\/div>\n
But when I bit into Berry Berries<\/strong>, I jizzed in my pants. Cakes never make me orgasm, this is the first time. *Shy* It reminded of the the Japanese strawberry shortcake that Sun Moulin used to do (years ago, Sun Moulin was very, very good). A cake that brings back past memories—how supreme is this cake, man! The cake was so light, and well-balanced, there is no other way to describe this cake except by using a metaphor. It’s like a dragonfly dipping, rippling the pond.<\/div>\n
So the Napolean<\/strong> paled in comparison. If you deconstruct their cakes with strawberries–there are berry berries<\/strong>, strawberry shortcake<\/strong> and napolean<\/strong>–you know that the basic layout is the same: yellow sweet cake, layers of cream and berries. But Napolean<\/strong> lost out because the slightly-burnt strudel crust destroys the exquisite and delicate balance of the lightness.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
The Japanese lady-boss gave us a sample of the new cake they are launching: lemon cheesecake<\/strong>. 14K the baker thought the top was ok–I thought it was ordinary–but the crust tasted heavy, like ghee. Which is the exact feedback we gave the boss.<\/div>\n
According to 14K, the baker is dedicated and takes much pride in his work! And his dedication shows up in the cakes. Good job!<\/div>\n
He used to work for a cake shop at Icon, so the cakes are similar but the one at Icon isn’t as delicious. Why? Because this cake shop uses fresh cream, and not the cream-cheese used in other cake shops. (See entry on One Caramel cake shop<\/a>). So it’s freshly baked daily, because you cannot keep fresh cream cakes for long.<\/div>\n
The service is excellent. I really love the hospitality and friendliness of the Japanese lady-boss. And unlike other cake shops which focus on profit, I really admire their zeal and persistence in serving excellent cakes to the people.<\/div>\n
However, although their cakes are all very good, I wonder if a bakery that has one mindblowing cake can survive. Let time tell. I will buy all my friends’ birthday cakes from here. FYI.<\/div>\n
