Rive Gauche Patisserie

I was attracted by the sprinkled gold powder on this Guanaja cake.The bitter sweet chocolate cake come with layer of chocolate mousse,sponge cake and crunchy biscuit.The chocolate mousse is more to the gelatinous type rather than those airy type of mousse and this give a dense to the chocolate cake.The bottom of the cake consist of hazelnut crunchy biscuit and it give a good texture.The price is quite reasonable for this pretty decorated and delicious cake.

Even tbough the cakes sold here are quite expensive, but I still do not mind to buy it for special occasions as the quality of the cakes here are quite good. One of my favourite cakes from this cake shop will be their fruit cake. Different types of cut fresh fruits are topped on it which are very sweet and yummy. THe light sponge cake is also quite moist and not too sweet as well.

This packet of colourful biscuits has really attract my attention due its neat and pleasant packaging and the colourful biscuits in it. Bought it and was quite disappointed with it as all the different coloured biscuits taste almost the same with no much flavour at all. Infact it is also abit too sweet and might be suitable for those who cannot take too sweet foods. The price is sort of abit too high as well.

Another trip to jcube with my girlfriend left our stomachs very satisfied. We chanced upon a new branch of rive gauche at jcube, we ate their tiramisu at a friend’s party and we impressed with the quality of their cake so we decided to get another flavour. We were tempted by the chocolatey cake in the display and decided to try it. It was called guanaja. The chocolate they used for the cake is dark chocolate, hence giving the cake a chocolaty taste. The bottom of the cake is very special, it is some sort of crunchy biscuit like base. The top has this nutty layer, it was actually a chocolate pieces. This chocolate tasted much sweeter than the ones that coated the cake. They used chocolate sponge cake for the middle layers, it is very soft and fluffy. The cake was not too sweet. What I enjoy most was the richness of the chocolate used in the cake.

my daughter specially reminded me to buy back her favourite cake from rive gauche after hearing my hubby and I were checking the place out. In the end, I bought two slices of the same cake cos it looked simply too appealing. I ordered the guanaja. It was pretty pricey for a slice of cake, however it was really good. The chocolate they use was the dark chocolate so the cake had this bitter sweet taste. The base was a crispy biscuit, it was very crunchy. The cake was so soft and moist, it was very fluffy too. I like the way they presented the cake, very classy, there were gold sprinkles on the cake. Most importantly it was delicious.
