Rive Gauche Patisserie (Closed)

It was my brother's birthday and we got a cake from Rive Gauche. He had requested for something other than fruit cakes, hence, on the recommendation of the staff there, we got the Mont Blanc which costs $36. I think it is slightly less than 500g but since there are only five of us, the serving is just right. The cake is made of vanilla sponge cake with two different layers of chestnut filling and whipped cream. The top layer is the chestnut cream. It is a very special cake and the first cake tha

Passing by the elegant Rive Gauche kiosk at Jcube, I decided on a whim to buy some of the pretty cakes that were on display and dragged my friend along. We were greeted by a young salesgirl who was quite polite, although there was an older staff who kept trying to whisper and distract her even though the younger staff was clearly trying to attend to us. We weren't too impressed with the older staff but we appreciated the attentiveness of the younger staff. After some deliberation, I ended up buy

Mont Blanc $6.50I finally got to try mont blanc but sadly I do not really fancy the taste probably because I do not like (neither do I dislike) chestnuts. But still, it is worth a try if you have not tried it before. Napoleon $6I really love this puff pastry with light sponge cake sandwiched with cream. However, it might be a little hard to eat as the pastry on top cannot "break" easily. I will still get this again because it is really yummy! Must try!

Strawberry Shortcake $6this cake was not sweet too. The strawberries were fresh and the taste was quite similar to Bakerzin's version. macha swiss $4.20This has got to be one of my best matcha red bean combi buy ever!! The green tea has a slight hint of bitterness and a jap taste to it. The flavour was also quite strong and the cream was so delicately smooth. The matcha fillings were good enough. Everything did not taste sweet together. So yummy!guanaja $6.80the taste of the chocolate was very s

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

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
