We have tried 4 different cakes at Privé. The first was the Hazelnut Praline Royale. It looked rather ordinary, not extremely appealing, and did not entice cake lovers like us to try. Looks wise, it did not stand out as a “to-die-for” chocolate cake. But taste wise, it was a vastly different story. The Hazelnut Praline Royale consisted of layers of chocolate truffle, chocolate sponge and hazelnut ganache. It was a cake with varying textures. The chocolate truffle was smooth, mousse-like and not overly sweet. The amount of sponge was kept to a minimal, it was light and not too dry. The hazelnut crust was thick and added crunchiness to every bite. On a whole, the cake wasn’t too overwhelming and is highly recommended for moderate chocolate lovers.
The Rich Chocolate Cake consisted of alternating layers of rich and moist chocolate sponge and fudge, topped with chocolate pearls. It wasn’t too sweet, the portion was just right and one would not get too sick or overwhelmed after finishing 1 slice. Texture wise, it wasn’t as complicated as that of the Hazelnut Praline Royale. It was a simple marriage between fudge and sponge. The Rich Chocolate Cake would be more suitable for serious chocolate lovers.
The 3rd cake which we have tried was the Luscious Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Cake. It was a unique combination of saltiness and sweetness, with a rich peanut butter taste. We have come across and tried various peanut butter tarts and ice cream, but this is our first time trying a peanut butter cake. Peanut butter cookies, peanut butter cakes, peanut butter ice cream, peanut butter milkshake, peanut butter tarts – peanut butter sure doesn’t lose out to chocolates in terms of versatility.
The only non-chocolate cake which we tried was the Yuzu Citron Light Cheesecake. Despite it looking quite dense, it sure was a light cake, with barely any taste of cheese and yuzu. The texture was also not of the typical smooth creamy American cheesecake. It tended more towards that of the light Japanese cheesecakes. An important feature of cheesecakes is the base. We enjoy cheesecakes with a buttery digestive base or one which is made up of oreo crumbs. For the Yuzu Citron Light Cheesecake, the base was a tasteless crust, which we didn’t enjoy.
After service charge and GST, each slice of cake was around $8. The first 3 cakes are definitely worth coming back for (on days when we have a car).

In my dreams, there is this beautiful place, with blue skies and clear sea. I dreamt of having my favourite brunch here with the one I like. We eat to our hearts content, and relax there while the hourglass freeze, just for us.
In my dreams, we have a cup of cappuccino. The aroma of the bean and the wonderful scenery of the place somehow makes the ordinary coffee taste better. And oh yes, there’s a cute cookie to go along with too.
In my dreams, I can never forget the taste of my beloved Eggs Royale ($14). The ever-favourite poached eggs, I just wish we can be together everyday. There is nothing more satisfying in life to have you by my side. O’ my dear, just the thought of you makes me sleep better.
In my dreams, I always envisage places where we will never run out of desserts. I have a sweet tooth you see. I dreamt of meeting the royal Sir-Deli’s, but it was a pleasant surprise with Privé Carrot cake ($6.80)
In my dreams, everything and anything can happen. There are bad dreams, and of course sweet ones like you. I’m glad I can still occasionally dream of you, that is enough. Enter my dreams, and give me a kiss.

Privé bakery café is a wonderful place to visit if you haven been there after i posted my previous entry. Well, I couldn’t afford the restaurant main course yet, that’s why you will probably see more of my post on their brunch and desserts, which are affordable and good. See you there!
You are always welcome to visit ladyironchef for a full-up on this trip. Whatever written herein are my genuine feelings expressed in words. Food, my dear, is what they call an adventure!
