Back to Nesuto after a long while and the quality has dropped tremendously. The buttercream for the Chestnut Vanilla-Brandy Gateaux ($11.90) was very reminscent of the old-school buttercream taste that leaves this sick, oily and cloying aftertaste. The cake was nothing to shout about.

Also ordered a Yuzu Raspberry ($11.90) and was equally meh..

Both cakes were honestly that of neighbourhood bakeries (no diss, each to their own’s) but honestly expecting more because of its premium pricetag. These cakes are not light at all, just artificial and really heavy. (with the additional weight of my guilt consuming calories that could be spent elsewhere).

Guess I can now walk past Nesuto without clamouring to go in anymore… adieu~
