There's a student promotion whereby students can get 15% off any cakes & patries till 5PM on Tuesdays - Fridays. Well, if you're not a student, don't be upset because there's also a Weekday 1PM - 5PM tea time promotion! Pay $6.80 to get a cake/ pastry of your choice + a cup of tea!My friend got himself the Fuji. It is a light green tea mousse complimented with a lychee gelee insert and a soft green tea sponge base.

My friend got himself the Fuji. It is a light green tea mousse complimented with a lychee gelee insert and a soft green tea sponge base. Sounds very complex. And indeed, I found it hard to appreciate the taste. The texture was kind of "heavy" and the lychee taste was very mild. This is not the kind of matcha dessert I fancy.
He also got himself a Ispahan, which consists of layers of rose bavarian cream and raspberry mousse with a lychee gelee middle and lychee fruit. This dessert is sweet and sour at the same time, which does not complement each other very well. The texture of the mousse was however done right.
I dislike ginger so when my friend got the Ginger Brulee Tart, I shook my head in disagreement. Haha! If you don't like ginger, please don't get this. The ginger taste is extremely overpowering and the taste lingers in your mouth for a while. Quite "spicy", too.
This is my cake of choice - Strawberry Shortcake. The nicest out of the 4 pastries, I must say. The sponge cake is very soft, light and delicate. Also, the frosting wasn't too sweet. The strawberries were perfect too - not too sour, which goes so well with the whole cake. Definitely worth the try and a second buy!
