ROCCA bakery part 2: Johnston Road

Discovered Rocca in the middle of a market. On the way leaving the market, I saw some cakes being brought over to Rocca, so there must be another cake shop nearby, it turned out to be another Rocca branch.

Basically the range is the same as the other branch, except the shop is slightly smaller, they had mini ring donuts topped with colourful icing, but they were sold out the next day.
As well as sweet items, they also do local bakery too at an affordable price.

I just got the chocolate cup, mini muffins and a piece of chocolate fudge.

The chocolate cup was basically blackforest in a cup, layers of chocolate mousse, jelly, crunchy chocolate, and a cherry on top with a piece of edible gold flake.
The cherry on top was heavily soaked in alcohol, liquor like.

The mini muffins were cute too, there were three flavours, chocolate chip, blueberry and wheat.
There are normal size versions too, but the mini ones cost 3.5 each.
The wheat one has a strong taste of cinnamon.

As for the chocolate fudge, it costs $9 and for the one with nuts it costs $10, I chose the plain one to try, the woman at Rocca kept saying the texture was like praline, that melts in your mouth.
It was slightly like that, and the best thing was that it was not too sweet, however its texture reminded me of the vegetarian cakes that do not contain egg.
The chocolate fudges were individually wrapped in opaque crisp packet, so it was like unwrapping a gift.

The shop is decorated quite nice, as good as C Bakery opposite, but the bakery products are not as expensive. Along the Johnston Road area, there is quite a wide range for bakery lately with C bakery and Pomme, and now the addition of Rocca and Ginger Bakery.
