Last March, Nesuto released a limited-edition Japanese Goma made with Japanese black sesame Streusel, Japanese black sesame Creme Diplomat, and Japanese black sesame “Fluff” chiffon sponge.

Derived from the Portuguese word, Flor means flowers and is pronounced as fu-ro-ru in Japanese. Similar to the beauty and nature of flowers, the bakery prides itself with fresh cakes and edible “flowers.”

Using the finest ingredients only, some of its popular Japanese sweets are Waguri Millefeuille, Yuzu strawberry tart, strawberry shortcake, Paris Vert, and Mont Blanc, among others. Price starts at S$9.85. Flor is plastic-free, so patrons are advised to bring their own bag.
