Pandan Taro Layered Cake from Taka Patisserie ...
What's nice about this cake is that it's not too sweet; both the pandan layer and the taro layer had a distinctive taste and did not overpower one another. It was also great that it had bite to it, for there were bits of diced taro in the top layer that burst with flavour when you chewed ... The taro was also of good quality since it was powdery and disintegrated in the mouth. Also, the flavours were old school - I think old timers would love this cake.
The coconut jelly was also interesting .... the container was made of glass! No wonder it was so heavy! When I opened the lid, I was surprised because the coconut jelly was so jiggly! It had to be a very soft pudding! Or perhaps like very soft tofu curd.
I scooped out some into my bowl and tasted it. Well, the bottom layer was a very nutty and fragrant black sesame paste .... it was ground to a sandy texture ... so there was bite to it as well.
The top was layer was really soft ... it had a thick santan flavour that quickly disappeared, leaving a rich milky aftertaste in the mouth. The black sesame paste did complement the coconut flavour at the top. I thought it was interesting a dessert. Heh. It's good that it was not too sweet - the cake was sweeter.
Maybe I'd go buy a tub of Nuto Nuto to compare. Soon. Read that it's a homegrown brand ...
