Apart from a good selection of macarons, they also have a small corner dedicated to their pastries. Some of the more popular ones include their Vanilla Bourbon Mille Feuille, Matcha Mille Feuille and Singapore Surprise. Unfortunately none of those choices were available when we arrived.
So we went for this one. We asked 2 different staff for the name of this cake because there was no label next to it. The first staff looked a little puzzled when we dished out the question and after pausing for a while, she replied that it has no specific name. This was odd. Well, if there's no name, perhaps we did like to know what it was made of so we asked the same staff about the ingredients. Then she started losing her patience with us. She replied, "some sort of chocolate mousse infused with tea...". At that point on, her impatience boiled over and continued questioning us with our motive of knowing what's in it. "Are you looking to order a big cake for an occasion? That's why you asked so many questions?".
I simply told her no but I always like to know what I put into my mouth. That was the end of our conversation. After seeing the frustration on my face, another staff came up and helped ease the situation a bit. She insisted that this cake is called a "Black Forest" cake. Well I guess they know their products better than I do so "Black Forest" cake it is!
Anyways, there was nothing special about this pastry at all. Let's leave it at that.
