Sweet Tooth 🍬🦷🍰🍨🍦

Lemme just try to walk you through our Nesuto experience - the yuzu raspberry cake was the perfect medley of sweet and sour. I’m pretty averse to yuzu and the only yuzu things I’ve enjoyed thus far is BIAP’s yuzu shaved ice and, after today, this yuzu raspberry cake. The sponge was really light and fluffy, so the sourness from the yuzu & raspberry really cut through. YET, it wasn’t an “ew” or “ughhh” kind of sour. This was thanks to the cream in the cake, which was not cloyingly sweet but sufficient to balance out the sourness. The white chocolate bits also made the cake sweeter and helped in the aesthetic department. Killed 2 birds with 1 stone! 💯
The dark chocolate cake was OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH. I say this cos both Kennedy and I love dark chocolate and we prefer our cakes to be rich and dense. This cake fit all our criteria. The special thing about it was that even though it was a sponge cake, it was neither too light nor too dense. It was just right. I don’t know how Nesuto did it cos I’m not a baker, but all I know is they did an amazing job. Highly recommend!!! The prices of their cakes may be a little steep at $9 (minimum) per slice, but it really is a good quality cake that leaves you happy and yearning for more. We paid with burpple beyond so we managed to enjoy it with the 1-for-1 deal.

A good experience, but would settle for Nine Fresh instead. For $4.20, we got a customized cup of: osmanthus aiyu jelly (1st base), tauhuey/ soy pudding (2nd base), taro & matcha pudding-jelly and 3 abacus balls. The osmanthus aiyu jelly was the best part of this dessert bc it was refreshing and had the right level of sweetness. However, the dessert wasn’t anything remarkable and you can an equally good, if not better, experience at Nine Fresh for a cheaper price.

We got the dark chocolate, pistachio, mango and passion fruit, and the Ishapan (lychee, rose and raspberry). Opening the box to this beautiful sight made us drool already. I’ve (Chiyin) been lucky to have tasted eclairs whilst I was in France, and I still can’t forget the experience (yes, they were that good). These eclairs were almost as amazing (just smaller) as the ones I had back then! The cream wasn’t too heavy on the palate or overly cloying. The dark chocolate was just the right balance of bitter and sweet, while the chocolate streusels on the top really helped to enhance the overall taste - perhaps that’s why it was a favourite among everyone who tried it! If you prefer a fresh, sour-sweet taste, you’d enjoy the mango and passion fruit eclair. The combination of lychee, rose and raspberry really hit the spot but I felt that it could be a littttle less sweet. For all pistachio fans, the pistachio eclair will not disappoint. :)
