Dessert

I’ve heard plenty of good things about Aftermeal Desserts in Damansara Utama – it’s said to be a go-to spot if you’re a fan of shaved iced treats. I know of some friends who would make their weekly pilgrimage to this dessert spot after dinner, so I had fairly high…

I first visited Dao three months ago when Jien insisted we go for dessert after lunch in SS15 Subang Jaya. He was adamant I give Dao a shot as he’s been frequenting this place with his colleagues when they go for lunch within the vicinity. Dao is located down the…

Part of the reason why I love incognito food hunts is the idea of experiencing unbiased food and service, just like everyone else. It is something Jien and I try to uphold for the Bangsar Babe brand, despite the lure of paid food reviews and complimentary meals. A fan of…

When it comes to dessert, tong sui always gets me excited. Especially if peanut paste and black sesame paste is available. I’ve been going to the dessert shop across Restoran Ruby (PMK) for years until a friend told me to try Restoran Ruby for comparison instead. It was apt timing…

Sourdough pizza is my favourite kind of pizza – the tangy allure of sourdough bread and rustic touch of thick-rimmed pizza base with crispy air-pockets and slightly charred edges. It’s also a favourite of Jien as we both enjoy the chew and flavour the sourdough bread yields, just like the…

The salted egg yolk cronut is probably the most ordered item at Dotty’s in Taman Tun Dr Ismail – a sinful treat created by the recent salted egg yolk hype. To get a place at Dotty’s, you either have to go in early or queue for the next available table…

Baked cheese tarts have become quite a hit of late, commanding a long queue and hashtag frenzy on social media. I never really got the hype until rif got me one to try. The cheese tarts are simple – shortcrust shell that encases a creamy cheese filling with savoury notes…

Zest Patisserie in Cheras specialises in French pastries and contemporary favourites such as the Caprice, a dessert creation of charcoal waffle with salted egg yolk sauce, caramel popcorn and salted egg yolk ice cream. The cafe’s location is unassuming – if you’re not familiar with Connaught, I suggest you listen…

Xiao by Crustz at Happy Mansion feels a little bit like a gallery – a smallish space that caters to a maximum of 15-20 pax at a time. This patisserie focuses on French-inspired creations, all beautifully crafted and extremely photogenic. The set-up is clean and minimalistic which I like, though…
