Happy Valley was one of my neighbourhood that I always come by fetching some groceries before going home. While I was fetching some groceries on the other day, I was walking pass this narrow alley and saw this little shop next to Subway. Then I saw a food menu standing in front of the shop saying "All day Menu", then I realised it was a cafe. Being a foodie, of course I won't miss any opportunities of trying new stuff. So I went in to check it out. It was a small shop which mainly sold japanese
It was a small shop which mainly sold japanese style cakes, tea and coffee were available as well. Though the choices of cakes weren't a lot, I was still having difficulties in selecting one of them because all of them look so tempting . So I finally made my decision to try the green tea black bean first.
Referring to the sitting area, there was only a few seats available which facing the window for indoors and those who like to seat outdoors, you don't have to worry about the weather outside because there's a shed covering the entire sitting area.
Well, unlike most of the green tea cake that I had so far, it had three black beans on the surface which was an interesting combination. Also, the black beans were surprisingly soft, chewy and the fragance of black beans flavour were pretty strong as well. In addition, the texture was kind of spongy and slightly dense in between, yet it was moist , buttery with a matcha aroma flavour and was slightly sweet.
I doubt it was the best apple pie that I had so far, it was freshly baked every day and it was still very hot when it was served. The pastry crust was very flaky and light with a golden brown colour after baking. Also, the diced apple fillings were chewy, soft and chunky which produce a natural sweetness with no artificial flavours
Well, I loved the cakes which had a combination of banana and chocolate flavours, so I decided to have a go at this. This banana and chocolate cheesecake had a pretty strong flavour of banana yet with a hint of chocolate flavour, texture was moist, soft and creamy with the fluffyness of japanese style cheesecake and richness in cream cheese . Also, you will find banana bits hidden inside the cake.
Chocolate red bean cake was the lightest chocolate cake I have had so far. The texture was so similar as the green tea cake except that you will find the additional chocolate crumbs flavour which was totally different from those fudgy, rich, heavy chocolate cakes served in most of the cakes shop. Though the chocolate flavour was very mild, As a result, this made you feel you have more room for dessert and it wasn't sweet at all.
I came back a few weeks later purposely to try this Matcha Latte since it wasn't available when I visited last time. I was told that they used the matcha powder from Uji Marukyu- Koyamaen- a well known matcha brand in Japan. As a result, the texture was pretty smooth with a hint of mellow matcha flavour, not so sweet , rich or strong in flavour than Via Tokyo. Hence, a small jar of sugar syrup was given for those who might want more sweetness.
Overall, I was so impressed about this little cake shop delivered hight standard of cakes and the environment was comfortable and relax though the sitting area was a bit small. Also, the location might be slightly inconvenient to some of you but I thought it's definitely worth a visit.
