Flor Pâtisserie

The dessert palate of the moment in Singapore seems to feature light sponge cakes, barely sweetened cream, and fresh fruit. It’s lucky that Flor Patisserie carries one of the best versions of strawberry shortcake (from $63/whole cake) in Singapore with three layers of genoise sponge sandwiched with sliced Japanese Chitoise strawberries and thick slabs of fresh cream. The bakery also plates up other meticulously prepared treats like tiramisu mille crepe, mont blanc, and hazelnut opera cake—all fit to impress a date or client on a weekday afternoon. If you wish to lean more local, try the signature roll cake ($8.90/per slice) made with fluffy brown sugar sponge and gula Melaka cream filling or the Nutella chiffon cake ($17.80/whole cake) made with an unusual ingredient—silken tofu.
