Rive Gauche Patisserie (Closed)

For my mum's birthday, my sister bought a cake from Rive Gauche, a chocolate cake at that. While i marvelled at the design, with something like gold glitters on the top, i thought i would just take a bite just for tasting. But when i took a bite, i liked it immediately. I am not a fan of chocolate cakes but the folks at RG did a fantastic job with the cake. It had several textures, like creamy chocolates and waffle biscuits and so the chocolate wasn't too overwhelming. Nor was it very sweet whic

Happened to pass by Rive Gauche in JP and decided to buy their desserts after looking at their wonderful display of cakes. I got the Brownie Bear ($6.50) and Crunchy Cheese Crumbs ($5.80). I am not a big fan of chocolate but I got the Brownie Bear cause of its cute design. The bear cookie on top was just too cute to resist. Anyway its’ aptly named since the base was made up of chocolate cake filled with walnut bits. The chocolate cream on top was very creamy and yet not very sweet.The Crunchy Ch

One fine day, my friend gave me a surprise by suddenly popping by and delivered a dessert from Rive Gauche. I have never tried their desserts before, always wanted to but never got the chance so imagine my surprise and delight!I had the Matcha Roll with Red Bean and the name explains it all. It is like a green tea swiss roll with red bean fillings.

Rive Gauche had this 10% off on that day while I was walking past their stall, so I thought I'll try it out. I was always attracted by their items but found it a little expensive. Original price of this cream puff (about five inches in diameter) is $3, so after the 10% discount it was $2.70. My mum is an avid baker of cream puffs, so I thought I'll get her this to try out and see how other bakeries make cream puffs. I realized that the cream puffs from Rive Gauche has a strong fragrance of the v

The chocolate cake here is seriously good. Its one of the best in my opinion however it commands a really high price tag. The cake sponge is super fluffy moist and soft, and the chocolate mousse is soo rich and decadent. The best part is the chocolate ganache on top which is creamy and thick and coats your mouth with a delicious chocolate taste. The crunchy base is a delight to eat too!

Every time I walk past this shop, I think it's super chic and pretty. Kind of reminds me of those Japanese pastry shops. This time I was attracted to this jar of meringue ($12.90) which is super colourful and beautiful! I have never tried meringue before so maybe it's a good time to try. It's a little too sweet, a bit like candy floss but in hardened form. It melts in the mouth almost immediately when you pop one in, and it's quite addictive too. I quite like it and it also makes for a perfect g
