While we were in the neigbourhood, we decided to pay the newly opened Royal Plaza Hotel Cake Shop a visit. Though we were not particularly impressed with the selection, we were absolutely delighted with the "Buy 2 get 1 free" offer.
Despite an appearance that was unspectacular and uninviting, the Lemon hazelnut praline cake scored big on taste and texture. The combination of a silky smooth hazelnut mousse and a spongy pistachio praline cake was too much to resist.
Comparing to the previous Lemon hazelnut praline, this wild strawberry cheese mousse cake looked so much more appealing and was equally delicious. An exterior of chocolate and wild strawberry, combining with a light cheese mousse and a strawberry jelly, was another exciting choice.
Looks could be deceiving and once again that proved to be the case. We had high hopes for this beautifully presented salty caramel Bailey dome but it turned out to be just average.
I thought the coffee flavor was way too overpowering even for the salty caramel and bailey (which was a little hard to believe).
I thought these were better than what A la Folie Pâtisserie had to offer. Hurry and visit the Royal Plaza Hotel Cake Shop while the "Buy 2 get 1 free" promotion is still on!
