Was at the Duxton area with my friends for brunch and we HAD to try out Flor as we love Glace (Chef Yamashita, the man behind the yummy cakes at Glace, opened Flor). The cakes were all about $6-7.

Its a green tea sponge/mousse cake, and it was sooo good. The green tea is flavourful but not overpowering, and its neither too sweet nor bitter, given a really fragrant aftertaste. The combination of sponge and cream makes this an easy cake to eat. Really interesting and recommended! Will definitely be back to try their other cakes, especially the much raved about strawberry shortcake.
