Jaya One outlet. Ironic enough, it was situated at Lower Ground level.. *grin* This slice of heaven must've had quite a long journey.
Now. Allow me to introduce the cake everyone's raving about
The Chocolate Durian. Do a quick Google search and you'll find near universal acclaim. Chocolate and durian, match made in heaven. Then it is sliced and flung down to earth where swooning people succumb to its sheer magnificence.
Yeah, but seriously though, it's goood. Deathly pungent, delightfully creamy, and carefully encased within chocolate ganache. Despite its pint-size appearance, this should be taken in small amounts as it may become cloying, and the durian is intense! Mind-blowing. Man, i have sampled many a durian cake but never one quite so rich, concentrated and aromatic.
Priced at RM9.90, it may seem a tad more upmarket in terms of price/gram but it was completely worth it.
Next up, Death by Chocolate, which was... nothing too life-threatening after the whole durian bomb. It reminds me of a smaller, denser and more expensive version of Secret Recipe's signature Chocolate Indulgence. The chocolate cream within was thick, and silky smooth. But at the end of the day it gets stamped "forgettable".
The banana creampie was, surprisingly, a delight. Sure, the caramelized bananas still tasted like... bananas, but I was pleased that the custard filling contained a mild banana aroma. Awesome. And the pie crust was crunchy and laced with chocolate, so no complaints there...
And uh... banana creampie... *snigger snigger* ;P
I found A Slice of Heaven on Google. About a month back Sis treated me to some pretty little cakes that she bought from BSC's luxury food hall O Gourmet. I googled their names afterwards (Peach Gateaux and Strawberry Torte) and A Slice of Heaven popped up.
Strawberry Torte. It was... strange, actually. It had a peculiar sourish, yogurt taste to it but not awful at all. xD It was brought to me at room temperature. Perhaps it would taste fantastic chilled.
Ha! The Peach Gateaux got smashed during transport. But its taste didn't diminish. Cream was thick and dense. Genoise sponge layer at the bottom was delicious and moist. Only gripe i have is about the peaches. Sure, canned peaches can hold their ground. But fresh peaches would have so divine...
Here's how they actually look like. Gorgeous, innit? With crushed pistachios sprinkled on top.
Oh my... So many items on display!! I was beside myself when i saw it. Like what????? I could stick my face against the glass all day...
