Tried a few cakes here prior to this review. They are soft and moist. Price wise is also not too bad and it is a cheaper option than the other cafes nearby. The latest cake I’ve tried prior to this review: blueberry cheesecake It was pretty moist and fruity. The blueberry on the top added the sweetness to the cake. The crumbs at the bottom of the slice was pretty crunchy. I love the cheese that they use as it melts in the mouth. This place is located a part of Isetan Supermarket located in B1. It is near to the cashier section next to the bakery. One of the quick stops to pop by when you are having sweet tooth cravings :) As there is no seating at this place, the staffs will pack the cake in a box with dry ice that comes in the packet. You would need to ask for the spoons. The opaque colored spoons will come in a plastic that you would have to tear in order to get the spoon out of the bag. If you would like to consume it after your purchase, you could sit outside the supermarket if there is not much crowd. Will definitely be dropping by here often to satisfy my dessert cravings :)

The Legendary Fresh Cream Cake($ 5.10) that would have truly lived up to the title if they hadn’t been so benevolent with the sugar in the whipped cream. Nonetheless, this humble cake reigned supreme in many ways, from the cloud-like sponge cake to the juicy sweet Japanese strawberries and lusciously rich yet light fresh cream. Why bother climbing up Dempsey hill for a similar piece when you can get this at almost half price but better quality? The Matcha Bombe Cake($ 4.70) is a matcha-themed cake with old friends like red bean and chestnut, but was still too sweet. There’s other more stellar works for sure, but the deep matcha cream was enough to sustain my enthusiasm. Out of the four Nama cakes I’ve tried, I would highly recommend the Strawberry Soufflé Cheese Cake($ 4.70) and the Happy Little Bear($ 4.70) Like all other cakes here, this is extremely delicate and one has to handle it with care. But the cheese was indeed, light as soufflé and would be perfect if they insert a thin crust at the base. Happy Little Bear($ 4.70) I’ve had come across enough examples to convince me that cute food don’t taste good. But here is one that proved me wrong. I was guilty to cut it but I’m sure I’ll be more guilty NOT eating it. It’s neither buttercream nor mousse, and not even pastry cream. It tasted like slightly grainy bean paste lightened with chocolate, something that is strangely delicious and left a vivid image in my mind. But the best pastry to showcase its fresh dairy products is none other than a simple double cream puff($ 1.90) or éclair($ 1.90) The pastry skin might not be top-notched but the filing is velvety rich but not too sweet. A perfect melt-in-your-mouth indulgence straight out from the chiller. Their fluffy Swiss roll is yet another simple yet extravagant culinary comforts that only costs $ 1.90. I think the folks are seriously too kind to their customers. As an updated version of the traditional mochi, the cream mochi(available in four flavours) tastes fresh, light and oh-so-creamy. The skin, especially, is so elastic, a far cry from those thick and rubbery factory mass products. Last but not least, the assorted macarons($ 2.50) here swept me off my feet. Bite into that light crust and there is an exhalation, creamy filling that is not alarmingly sweet. These definitely rose above the lurid gimcrack and further consolidated my faith in this Japanese pastry shop. I hope that the business will continue to prosper and look forward to more outlets in other heartlands of Singapore.

Located in Isetan wesgate, in the basement. This is a small bakery right by the cash register of Isetan. You can easily spot it with the long queues of Japanese and Korean mums queuing for these delicious sweet snacks! I got a cream puff and Matcha Bombe cake to try, I really wanted to order one of everything!~ I will be back for more! 1. Cream Puff $ 1.90 Cheaper than your typical beard papa, it is so filled with cream, every bite, forces the custard and cream to come oozing out! 2. Matcha Bombe Cake $ 4.70 The green tea flavour in this cake is delicious, not too artificial and yet not too bitter. There is a layer of red bean buttercream and also a later of chestnuts! The chestnuts are a delight to bite into. For $ 4.70, I think this cake is worth every cent of the price tag! I can’t wait to try more of their cake offerings, and most of the customers in line were ordering at least 5 slices of cakes! Business is good :) As they are inside Isetan, you can use your Isetan membership card for your purchases!
