One day while walking around Takashimaya’s Food Hall, I passed by a shop selling traditional layered cake. Immediately I bought one to try out. Beside the store, there was a small open-concept kitchen to see how this tree cake is being made.
I bought the regular sized one ($14.90) and was told this snack if kept refrigerated; this tasty confection can last for quite long. The cake evened out between being too moist or too dry. The cake looks like kueh lapis but albeit the plainer version but the somewhat healthier version of the kueh lapis. It was soft, not too dense, and tastes great without any added flavouring. They also have other flavours so if you are not a fan of the original, you should check out the rest. Needless to say, the cake was finished within the day it was bought so there was no need to keep them.
