I am only walking around Takashimaya when I see a pretty pink pastel corner with a display of beautiful cakes, the blue galaxy cake totally caught my attention from afar. Curiosity drives me to get closer to get a better look of the cakes. I am preparing to go home already, so I have no intention to eat anything there already. The friendly pinay staff immediately greets me when I take a step up, so I just ask about the cakes. And after her introduction of Lychee Rose cake, I'm totally sold on this and decide to dine in.
Lychee and Rose are marriage made in heaven since both have floral notes that work perfectly together. While most Lychee Rose cakes at other places will focus on the taste of the rose, Wanderlust's Lychee Rose cake–supplied by Cream & Custard actually–focuses on the Lychee instead, which is refreshing. And the taste sure is super refreshing. The refreshing lychee juice contained within the pretty boba pearls on top of the cake juxtaposes so well with the lovely creaminess of the lychee mousse. The rose cake sponge adds texture and that nice aroma of baked goods to this confectionery. I love this so much.
Situated right in the centre of level 3 of Takashimiya, it is a good place to take a break from shopping or, see and to be seen. I'm at the category to be seen only since I'm too focused on my cake as it is too delicious. By the way, the Lychee Cake is sold out by the time I leave the cafe. Wow, it is that popular, and it is only 3pm in the afternoon.
Thoughts: Nice place to take a break and enjoy good cakes.
