Tucked away in a little corner, next to OJ, and opposite the Japanese bakery at the Basement 2 of Ngee Ann City is this nondescript cakeshop - Rive Gauche patisserie.
It has some very good cakes but it does not get more publicity, maybe because it is rarely seen anywhere else. My favorite cake is this rich dark chocolate cake. It has a crunchy biscuit-like base which foiled the sweetness of the chocolate ganache very well.
I first tried a slice a few years back, then again last year when we bought it for a colleague's birthday. And my 3rd taste of it was a couple of weeks back when we got it for Davis and Celest birthdays :)
Look at the melting chocolate, so smooth and bittersweet, followed by the layers of chocolate sponge and filling and finally the crunchy crust.
