Nestled along Tras Street is Nesuto, a Japanese-inspired patisserie that has won the hearts of fans with their IG-worthy desserts.

Run by baker and founder Alicia Wong, who spent six years as a pastry chef at Capella Singapore before venturing out on her own, Nesuto is now well into their sixth year of business.

The signature cakes at Nesuto include their varation of the famous Italian dessert, Tiramisu ($13.50++), where lady finger sponges are soaked in a combination of Kahlua and Marsala liqueur, and layered with mascarpone.

This jarred dessert is finished with chocolate bits, and comes with a pipette of more Kahlua and Marsala liqueur syrup, just in case you think you need an extra alcoholic kick.

If you’re a hojicha fan, definitely don’t skip Nesuto’s Konichiwa Hōjicha ($11.90++), which stars the roasted Japanese tea as a ganache, Chantilly cream, and vanilla souffle sponge. ICYMI, Nesuto is famed for their light-as-air chiffon cake layers, which makes indulging in their bakes that much easier.

Another classic Japanese flavour that you’ll find in cake form is Japanese Goma ($11.90++). Cut into this cake for Japanese black sesame creme diplomat, which is pastry cream and whipped cream, a BSSM chiffon sponge, and goma streusel topping it off.
