matcha opera was terrible, tasted off.. Like its been defrosted and kept for too long. Only giving this a two star cause the cheese cake was OK... Nothing to shout about but at least not bad.

We packed a cake for takeaway. We asked on the fillings, and the staff was very helpful in explaining. We were pleasantly delighted by how well-thought and sturdy the packaging was, and the staff was careful to ensure it is well packed. Thank you!

Located at level 1 of Great World City Mall. A very small outlet, there are some seats for dining in, but very limited space. Famous for its financier, sweet and smell good. Had the buttery smell which could increase everyone appetite. And not to overly sweet. You could not stop at one. Pricing wise- a bit expensive for the size of the pastries. The service was alright, nothing exceptional. Strongly recommended for the financier! A must try.

The 2 service staff on duty were simply amazing. Very patience and provide clear explanation on the membership rewards scheme. Overall the strawberry and chocolate cakes taste great. The cheesecake texture was a bit on the soft side for my liking but still good.
