Cake Spade



Decided to come over here to try the highly raved tofu cheesecake myself.
It was pretty near where I worked at, finding this place was rather convenient.

The array of cakes they sold here...
   

oh they do sell brownie and tarts as well~

      
---       
Wanted to try this because the strawberry looked so goodd but we decided to try their "popular" cakes instead~ & how do we define popular? 
By looking at which has the least number of slices left!! Don't judge us!

   
   
   
It was a pretty small & cozy interior, with a few tables on the outside~

So here is what we ordered:

   
An aerial & side view~

1. Strawberry Tofu Cheesecake ($5.90/ Slice)

As we brought this cake back to our seat from the couter, it was wobbling like some agar agar (jelly) hahahaha
this is a definitely a much lighter rendition "cheesecake" cake for the healthy conscious people.
I know, how can cakes be healthy, what I meant is that at least, it's much lighter compared to the actual cheesecake~!


Initially, this cake was kinda blend to me & my J, 
No doubt they looked really foodporn-ish but it takes a few bite to actually like this stuff

It's has a really light taste, the first layer was a jelly & the strawberry, the red jelly does not have much flavour but I was really pleased when the strawberry was sweet!
The middle which I suppose is the Tofu part, was rather peculiar  It didn't taste like cheese but not anything like tofu too.
hahahaha ok hard to explain, you gotta try it, just a simple "cheese" like texture that melts in your mouth!
& of course, a layer of digestive biscuit....
I was hopping for a thicker layer of digestive below, since the it's a rather light cake imo.
Can get a little addictive eating this but it will still be my 2nd choice!

2. Dark Chocolate Banana Cake ($6.20/ Slice)

Was contemplating to get this cake or the hummingbird
But us being kiasu, we ended up buying the dark choc ince there was only 2 slices left!
---
Loving this cake! It's definitely a must try for choc lover!!
It's very moist and not too sweet.
There's a layer of dark choc mousse on the bottom , and the middle lawyer of cream with some chopped bananas! & it is frosted with dark choc ganche!
There is also some banana chops on the top which I find is a little out of place...
---
So you see it's really not too sweet with this dark choc combination. 
Best served with a cuppa of hot tea~
Totally can imagine a lazy afternoon slipping tea & eating this cake~ ooohhh ahhh
Pardon me if my picture below does not look anything close to being aesthetically yummy, 
choc lover you know what I mean right?!

Overall Verdict: 
Definitely a place I will come by again for a simple catch-up session with my friend(s).
Recommend this place for couples or even a mini group of up to 4 friends!
Will come back again to try the other cake flavors!!
Personally I prefer to sit outdoor because it can be a little awkward to sit inside cause the shopfloor quite small on the inside & a little too near to the counter where the staffs are.
