Cafes and Sweets

One of the better versions of the Japanese cheese tart hype lately, creamy, a more pronounced taste of cheese with a cookie-like tart shell, but it would be unfair to be compared to truly Japanese ones, nevertheless a good indulgence if you happen to be in the area and don't mind forking out RM7.90 for one. Tip: have it fresh on the day of purchase. My past experience was that the pastry turned soft and separated from the filling on the next day.

These hand-carried kaya puffs from Ipoh are a favourite and makes a good option for breakfast or as a snack anytime of the day. Imagine biting into a golden brown flaky, fluffy and puffy pastry shell to discover a balance amount of fragrant kaya not overly sweet, this is the experience that you would want to savour for this humble pastry.

Think pandan pancakes topped with caramelized bananas, toasted desiccated coconut, served with a side of coconut ice cream and gula melaka syrup. Or if you prefer something savoury, grilled chicken breast, mozzarella cheese, sautéed mushroom, canned pineapple and pesto sauce nicely tucked in a tortilla. Both priced at RM18.
