I love bridges. If I see a cool looking bridge, I want to cross it, especially if it goes somewhere that I'm not familiar with. Same with stairs outdoors. They feel like an adventure to me.

Which kinds of Asian cakes? I'm mostly familiar with the Indonesian ones and cakes like kue lapis legit are anything but light and fluffy :)

If I were to guess, most likely Japanese cakes or Korean cakes. The Korean market near me has what they call a French bistro inside the food court. It's got amazingly fluffy, spongey cakes that are just lightly sweet. Most of the actually sweetness seems to come from the fruit on top. And actual whipped cream instead of our Western sugar paste cream, ew.

Doing some quick image searching..... God, those do look delicious :)
Problem is, they're hard to get around here. Specialty cafe's here in Amsterdam are the closest for me to eat one, and that's still quite a journey. Still, something to put on my to-do list next time I'm in the neighborhood!
