Rive Gauche

One of my top bets for cakes in town! They have creatively flavoured cakes, that are extremely addictive especially for those with a sweet tooth.
I used to get my chocolate cake fix from Bengawan Solo, where the chocolate was melted over the cake, to form a hard shell. I thought it was a steal at slightly less than $ 20. But ever since i’ve discovered Rive Gauche, I realized that I would rather top up slightly more for quality — their 18 cm x 18 cm cake costs about $ 45.
I would recommend the Guanaja, which is made of a bittersweet chocolate and chocolate mousse plus layers of sponge. My favourite part of it is the crispy biscuit at the bottom, which adds a nice crunchiness when you bite into it. Other flavours such as Longan Almond, Strawberry Charlotte (with 2 layers of finger sponge) look interesting too.
If you want to customize the cakes by putting words in icing, do let the staff know 3 days in advance so they can help you prepare it at no extra cost.
