Taro chestnut cake @ Saint Honore Bakery

Got this taro cake for $13 which is considered affordable compared with other cakes priced at >$30 per cake at other prestige places such as the Pantry, Sift etc.

This cake is considered as a higher end product at Saint Honore, but the service and packaging was treated just the same as their ordinary bakery products.

Despite it was a delicate cake, there was no box provided unless two were bought, which was a bit pathetic since you are paying for an expensive cake, and the cake was stuffed in their plastic bag making it hard to carry around.
Luckily, it was still intact when I took it out.

Taro chestnut cake:
It takes the form of a round cake with a sponge base, topped with taro mousse with sponge layers inside.
The taste of the taro was so faint, but luckily it wasnt over sweet.
As for decoration there was a tiny crunchy chocolate ball on top, and chestnut paste on top.
To my surprise, I found white cream inside the chestnut paste.
Fun to eat, but didnt really taste of taro which was dissappointing.
The spongecake base tasted like their usual sponge cake products
