Tried the chizu cheese cake, the chocolate sponge (pictured) and the pandan sponge. The cheese cake was something different, small but worth a try. The sponge cakes were simple yet tasty.
I grew up having egg tarts for breakfast and snack and I must say the egg tarts (Portuguese custard style) from this place did not dissapoint. The combination of the egg, sugar and custard is near perfect and I am so happy to be having this as it is almost similar to what I would have in my hometown - only twice the size, a meal by itself! :D
Located near the escalators at the Strand Arcade, it is in a fairly central location. You can see the cakes being made behind the glass walls as you come up to the counter. They have a few different flavours available and they are different prices, from the original at $15 to the Almond Cranberry at $25.
They come in boxes which are fairly big and quite tall. I tried both the original and the chocolate. The texture of the cake was quite nice, a very firm sponge. The chocolate had quite a nice flavour, although most of the chocolate was at the bottom of the cake. Quite a nice snack to share and isn't the most expensive cake to get.
Edit: The egg tart was ice and did come warm. The pandan cake had a really nice flavour to it.
Got the pandan cake and chizu cheesecake. Very fluffy, airy and spongy pandan cake, the flavour was really nice and you can actually taste the pandan flavour which is not overpowering at all. The bottom was a bit dry but still great. The cheesecake also very yum and got nice texture - perfect treat with coffee or tea!
Brought the Japanese cheese cake it was delicious, super creamy and light.
The staff was also very knowledgeable about their products I asked if I could bring the cake on a domestic flight and immediately he gave me a answer I was very satisfied. 100% would recommend
Egg tart is one of my favourites and I recommend every one of you come and try it.
Soft and crispy tart also with none of the egg smell interrupt your bite.
Can't find dressmart branch on Google. But It's all from the same cake shop. I'll just leave the review here, staffs are pretty nice and friendly, cake is soft and delicious, suits for every age group.my kids love this cake.
I super love their egg tarts and pandan cake🤤
Really delicious 🥰
My friend and I walked past having a very heated discussion about what to have for dessert, until we saw these babies being freshly made in the window and boom, our decision was made.
These come in all sorts of flavours like chocolate and green tea I think but we went for the original.
It was warm, light, fluffy and spongey and quite possibly the best quality lil sponge cake I’ve ever had omfg!! Bless bc they also dish out loyalty cards.
The original was only $15 and the other flavours cost $20 plus but the box is quite wide and tall; way better value than the ones you get at Uncle Tetsu’s tbh 🤷♀️
Good tasting and soft sponge cake! Looked a little dry on the edges but still tasted good! Cake is ideal to have with friends and family
Tried the cheese flavour. No too bad, just the skin was a little bit dry.
They do the best ever egg tarts here, not too sweet and perfect pastry. Will be back to try the sponge cakes!

Delightful experience along with a yummy taste of freshly made cakes!! Never had 🇹🇼 Taiwan made cakes, but trust me..Loved it!
Especially the egg tarts and marble cakes are the best of all!! Do visit during roaming around Queen Street or Aotea Square!
Stunning cheesecakes. Great cuz m consult m consistency and flavor. I was also amazed by the quality and taste of the cheesecake biscuit. And one should not forget the egg tarts. They are too die for!
Seriously, if you're reading this review, give this place a try; you'll be amazed.
The best egg tart I would say 😍
Very tasty sponge cake. I feel the original sponge cake is reasonably priced and good value. Awesome gift idea. Highly recommended to try!
Newly opened bakery cake shop, so far I can see three favors, original, cheese and cholocate. But according to the boxing, there's more choices coming probably in the near future.
Quite famous cake from Taiwan, if you have time or just happens to be in town, would be good to try it out.
Price is higher than the shops in Taiwan, about 3 times more expensive, but hey, we're in NZ so everything is expected to be expensive.
Staffs are new so need sometime to improve, but smiling on their faces so not bad for a start.
OMGGGGGGGGGGG I freakin loveeeee their egg tarts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its soo deliciouss!!!! the best egg tarts in the world!!!!!!! You will not be disappointed!
