Tucked between boutiques along the citylink connector, this little Rive Gauche outlet (comprising one refrigerated case and two small tables) is easy to miss.
Their signature Guanaja ($7/slice) is a cake that one can never get enough of. The light sponge, punctuated by layers of mousse is sandwiched between a shiny layer of rich dark chocolate ganache on top, and a crispy hazelnut base made of cornflake crumbs below. The flavor is well-balanced; though rich, the cake remains pleasantly light in terms of texture, which leaves one craving more down to the last bite.
Due to the low human traffic here, they have many promotions worth capitalizing on:
1. Tea set ($6): one slice of cake and tea/coffee. Top up 50 cents for a latte.
2. Daily promo: All slices of cakes for $5 (not too sure if this is still available)
In conclusion, though Rive Gauche can be found in many places, this branch has a quiet charm that'll definitely bring me back!
