Cons:

Quality & Taste

Pros:

  • "The flavor however was very bland and had a subtle but noticeable egg-like taste."
  • "But not recommending the bigger ones with flavors like green tea and strawberry. They aren’t as delicious as they look like, kind of disappointed."

  • "The cakes are so fresh and delicious."

Cons:

  • "Located inside a very small shop, not much room for customers."
  • "It was a shame, we just wanted to try the jiggly cheesecake but they only serve whole cakes for around $20! What tourist would buy that? Also, it’s tiny and you can’t sit down."
  • "The shop is quite small and there isn't a place to sit to eat your cake. It's more of a shop and go kind of place."
  • "Note that you can't really eat there and that you will be taking your stuff to go."
  • "The shop is very small. There is only enough space to order, you shouldn’t be expecting to eat the cakes here."

  • "However their original bouncy cake was only enjoyable when fresh."
