Gobi at Suntec is a well decorated place that makes you like an English from the 18th century. Rustic and classic design couped with very English tables and chairs make this place a very lovely place to enjoy a cup of earl grey and have a piece of cake in.

Gobi is at the entrance from Suntec if you come from the citylink. Good location as it's at the entrance, me and my gf arrived on a Sunday afternoon wanting to try their cakes after having tried many other places. Quiet and almost empty, you can choose between sitting inside or at their alfresco area. I guess it's because of the time of the day that we were there hence, the quietness but the ambience and setting is really suitable for a nice romantic lunch./teabreak/dinner.

We ordered a Mille-feuille and a strawberry shortcake to share. The mille-feuille cake is something that we have yet to see. Normally used as part of a dessert, it's my first time seeing and trying it on itself. The mille-feuille cake came simply with icing on top. Howeverm it was hard and difficult to break. The normally flaky-feeling of mille-feuille wasn't there and the puff pastry within, while not overly sweet, leaves much to be desired. The strawberry shortcake was also disappointing. The sponge cake within wasn't soft enough and strawberry taste was subtled.

Service-wise, it was ok but I supposed it wasn't fair to judge as we were the only one there until when we were half-way done when another table was occupied. They were not paying too much attention to us nor not giving us any attention at all. Price-wise, they are comparable to 1 Caramel and Candele but for the money, the standard really doesn't cut it.

They do serve main courses and maybe, it will be better than their cakes or their speciality could be their french macaroons instead of the cakes.
