Seen this set of cakes widely advertised in the MTR concourse and since Valentine’s Day is approaching, we decided to share a cake together. Our decision landed on this particular cake - Japanese Strawberry Lava Yoghurt Lychee Mousse Crunch Cake ($ 228 after 12% discount with the Arome app) as we wanted to try its lava yoghurt and peach jelly layers. Unfortunately, the strawberry outer layer was too geletinous so it tasted a little unnecessarily dense. However, what they did well was the fact that although this cake was nothing more than a rudimentary sponge cake layered design, the strawberry taste was present and wasn’t too overbearing. The strawberries on top were fresh and the peach jellies were every spread. One aspect of the cake that somewhat disappointed me was the so called lava yoghurt layer. While we were eating the cake, we incessantly attempted looking for this layer as it was one of the main motivations to get this cake. We found it weird that we finally located it somewhere in the middle but in a very obscure area that wasn’t even large in size.

We have learnt that cakes of new designs are not always better than the traditional cheese cakes / petite cake slices they do so while they are still offering promotions for them, they are probably the better buy! Also, as New Year festival is around the corner, they gave us two sets of red packets for free, how sweet!
