Rive Gauche Cakes

I have a sudden craving for cake that day!!

I went bakerzin first but w/o promotion their single pc are very small and pretty pricy~ $6.50++ a pc .. i have the intention to get 3-4 pc in mind.. too expensive!!

and then i saw Rive Gauche.. the Japanese bakery by Pokka (the green tea) company

I have been eyeing on the Mont Blanc and the Lychee for quite sometime

Mont Blanc - a Japanese creation.. made with chestnut moose
Not as smooth as what i have in mind.. maybe becoz it is chestnut? I think the older generation will like this~ i think its very 古早味.. Ha *not for people who love creamy cheese cake*
Lemon cheese with raspberry
I am so in luv with this!! I never tried lemon cheese cake before.. they are surprisingly good!! the tangy favor linger around your tongue makes you crave for more~ *melt*
The lychee tower that i always wanted to try.. looks sooOo pretty!! but!! this is the only disappointment i had.. nothing special.. just a layer of cake on the outer and vanila cream inside.. Plain jane~
Pitacho with prune
Another special creation by the Japanese... Flavorful and not too sweet :) Luv the buttery texture layered between the choco chiffon cake~

no lah. the $65 they got give you $120 worth of vouchers for you to use at tonkichi, pasta cafe or rive gauche. so its not just only the 10% discount nia.( it is 20% on the month of your birthday)

And after you become member for 1 year, your next renewal is only $30 and they still give u $120 vouchers.

So if you are long term supporter( like I am) the benefits quite worth it.
