sweet hut @ss2

having heard about this new dessert place, it was a must try for me. and since i'm a choco molten lava lover, when i saw this on their menu, it was an absolute i'm going to order this for me-choco maquise cake. it was baked to perfection, with the oozing chocolate when you cut right through the cake. the chocolate was not bad, but the ice-cream was terrible. the ice-cream was too icey, making it a little weird. overall, not bad, but, i still prefer chillis version of molten lava cake, i have yet to find a better version. and trust me, i've laboured and sacrificed alot in my attempt to find the best choco molten lava cake. alot of pounds gained, and i certainly do not mean the sterling pound.

 

i quite liked their menu, lots of choices, but, was disappointed bcuz when it came to ordering, they told us that a couple of best sellers were not available. their best sellers comprises of course their chocolate marquis cake and some kind of coconut pudding which was not available. they also have durian sago and things like that. here's a little insight into their menu. just click.

 

it was an okay dessert. i wasn't disappointed by the cake, just the ice cream. but, its not some place i'd go back to again. i'd much rather head to kei dak sek for desserts if i happened to be in that area.

upstairs cafe @ ss 12 part 2

decided to stop by upstairs for some cakes today. decided to try something differnt, hence did not go for the oh-so-yummy-gooey-brown-ees. instead, today, decided to try out their other signature-redvelvet. my 2nd time here for their desserts.

today. tried the red velvet. the cake was moist, very in fact. the frosting, not overly sweet, but i think they added a little lemon to give it a little tang. the cupcake itself was good, but i would have preferred better frosting to go with it. i feel like once you've had uk's hummingbird frosting, everything else just pales in comparison. 5 bucks for this cupcake. its not wow, but its definitely one of the better cupcakes i have had in malaysia.

 

chocolate torte cake. 5.90, this was a warm very moist chocolate cake minus the gooey centre of a choco molten cake. the cake was very well baked, punch of chocolate there. its not a special kind of cake, but its a good chocolate cake.

mint brownies-i'm a fan of mint chocolate-like i love after 8s and all but this was just a tad bit too minty for me. the brownees, nothing special. as in i prefer the ordinary brownies because of the gooeyness that made it special. but this one, was kind of ordinary and too minty. didn't like this that much. unless you are seriuosly s full fledge mint fan, u might not like this as well.

i wasn't as impressed as my first visit but i still stand by the best brownies being here=]

chillis @ empire

chillis.decided to come here for lunch for some comfort food. we ordered the trio appetizer which had chicken fingers, buffalo wings and these mexican kind of rolls. it was really bad on all kinds of levels. the wings hardly had any meat on them. there was too much batter on the chicken fingers. the only decent thing were probably the rolls. the standard has dropped so so much since i was in my teens. not something i'd oreder again unless i have one of my muffin days.

let me tell you my muffin story. i don't like muffins. i know i don't like muffins. but sometimes when i pass by say starbucks or any kind of shop that sells muffins, i'm just so tempted to buy muffins, just cuz they are so pretty-looking. and when i take a bite, it reminds me all over again why i don't like muffins. i know right, i'm a tad bit weird.

pure nachos were so-so. they weren't wow like last time, they were just okay. this, u had to eat them hot. when i was younger they used to come with guacamole, but now, you had to order the guacamole separately. i was abit disappointed by that. the nachos, you had to eat them hot. once cooled down, yep, not good at all.

came with my cousin and we decided that chillis food-super cannot make it. however, their dessert on the other hand was amaze-balls. choco lava cake with vanilla ice-cream, caramel sauce and a chocotop. this was amazing. i had like 2, 2 days consecutively. i didn't like the choco top much and the vanilla ice-cream was not of the greatest quality, but, you just needed that vanilla ice-cream there to cut through the sweetness of the caramel sauce and the molten cake. the choco molten cake was so good. like it was just the whole thing that was super good. the combination of hot and cold. the best chocolate lava cake i have had so far, and trust me i was once on a choco-lava cake eating spree and i've tried really bad ones and also mediocore ones. this is by far the best.

Moo Cow Frozen Yoghurt @Pyramid

froyo-yo. who doesn't love froyo? i mean i don't believe in the whole healthier version of ice-cream thing but i just love fro-yo. with moo cow, they have 2 monthly flavouts and the pure original. when i happened to visit it was orange-mango and rootbeer. so i just tried both. i also tried the fig one which i thought was pretty good and the wheatgrass one which i thought was plain weird. moo cow froyos are a tad bit more sour than other froyos like tuttifrutti but that is what i absolutely love about it. but its also very milky in some ways making me feel very filled up every time i have this. its like i want to eat moo-cow, i eat it, then, i don't want to eat it for the next month. haha because i feel super sick of it after a whole cone or a whole cup of it.

 

you get to pick toppings from fruits, to nuts, and seeds. i normally take mine plain though.

 

if you have not tried froyo, u have to, and moo cow is hell-yummy.

tong pak fu

tong pak fu, well the ones i normally visit is the one in empire, midvalley, ss15 and sunway pyramid. they do have plentiful of outlets though. they take pride in their tracka durian-snow-ice and d24 durian snow-ice, many durian lovers flock over to tongpakfu for their durian desserts. i've tried their tracka durian ice before, but its not my fav. i still prefer chilled real genuine durains, anytime. it tasted slightly to mild down and hence slightly artificial for me.

so i normally order the black sesame ice instead. if you don't know i'm an avid goma-adzuki beans fan. like avid. the topping are normally jelly but i always chnge them to all red-beans. i just feel like it goes better. the black sesame flavour is really there. this is my usual whenever i visit tongpakfu. and it is a musttry for all black sesame fans out there. this tops the durian series, any day. 8.90 for a regular serving.

decided to be adventurous one of the times and tried the soya ice and the mango in milk with sago. i'm not a fan of sago so the mango thing was not my thing. i love the soya ice series in snowflake so i was looking forward to this as well. but boy was i disappointed. it was really extremely bad. i literally took only a few spoonfuls and left it to melt away-yes it was that bad. it was quite tasteless.

being a black sesame fan, i ordered the black sesame tangyuens, coated in black sesame. to my disappointment, there was too little black sesame filling inside. priced at 4.90, super not worth it. the first batch that came was super undercook and i had to request for another one. was not impressed at all. and the servers there could not understand my english, nor mandarin either. i'm always not a fan of service industries employing people who can't even communicate in the same language. i mean waht kind of service industry would that be then, right. they have the peanut filling one as well, same price. initially, well according to the very misleading brochure, i thought i'd be getting 3 black sesame tangyuens and 3 peanut tangyuens for 5 bucks. but i was wrong. super misleading menu.

choco lava cake (which took forever). i am in love with choco lava cakes. the hot-cold-combo, to me is just perfect. okay what i liked about this was the black sesame tuille that came with the dessert. what i didn't like about it was the cake. i felt it was slightly burnt because the cake was very bitter. it was baked to perfection, yes with a very gooey consistency in the centre but the taste was off. i've had better.

well. i'm still a tongpakfu lover, but, just for the black sesame ice and nothing else.

shakespeare pattiserie @ss15

decided to try out this considerably newly opened place in fifteen. there's no such thing as being too full for dessert. 

this place is like a little cafe, having an array of pastries and cakes on display. they have main meals as well, but that wasn't what i was there for. i was there for one purpose and one purpose only-dessert! choosing the dessert was a no brainer for me. i had the caramel pavlova and the green tea tiramissu. i mean look at the pavlova, its was like calling out to me 'come have me'. okay, moving on before i go a little nuts. basically their desserts are all on display, and you pick to order. they have everything from bread to cakes to macaroons to chocolates to pastries, to mousse. 

 caramel pavlova beat serai's hands down. the texture-was the melt in your mouth marshmellowy kind. and might i add it was huge. bigger than serais and much more worth it. 7.90, half the price of serai's and 10 times the flavour. its definitely a must try. i would even say the best pavlova in town. they have a berry pavlova as well. click here to read of serai's pavlova for comparison. 

this was also priced at 7.90. i'm a sucker for greentea and adzuki beans. layered between the mascarpone cheese and greentea sponge were adzuki beans. my thoughts on this were 'maybe i'm not such a big greentea fan afterall'. i preferred the classic coffee tiramissu to this. this just didn't cut it. didn't like it at all. plus for 7.90, i'd go for the pavlova anytime.

upstairs cafe @ ss12

 

this place is called upstairs cafe because its located upstairs, how apt a name right haha. its basically situated above the famous bawang merah near the hospital formerly known as sjmc.

this is heaven i assure u. the best brownies i've had. it has a thick gooey centre. its an explosion of chocolate goodness. thing is it comes in a small slice so you don't get sweet-sick after abit. personally i don't like whipped cream so i scrapped it aside, but the brownies, to die for. the best 5.90 i've spent on a dessert. the thick gooey centre-i cannot stop raving about it. trust me, it will be love at first bite.

also ordered the creme brulee. having the brownies was like in heaven but the creme brulee was like in hell. it was too creamy and just not creme brulee material at all. there was just no flavour to it. really, do not order this at all. it does not do creme brulees any justice. it was really that bad.

having said that. i would go back for the brownies any time. intersting thing is that they serve mint brownies. another of their specials ive heard are their red velvets, both cakes and cupcakes. definitely on my to try list the next time=]

ooh my gas @ pavillion kl

ooh my gas is a novel kind of ice-cream, basically using liquid nitrogen to freeze the mixture on the spot, giving you ice-cream, on the spot, its like magiccccc! hah! basically you get to kind of create your ice-cream, which is kinda cool, well for me, i like coming up with stuffs, weird experimenting in the kitchen is my forte. 

if you are wondering what's the difference between normal ice-cream and liquid-nitro ice-cream

1. nitro ice-cream sounds cooler, right no? freeze on the spot wei. 

2. supposedly the ice-cream is supposed to be smoother due to some crystal-thingy-thing-chemistry stuffs which yea, okay i'll stop trying to explain and its' just smoother than normal ice-cream lah. 

so, first you get to choose your base, either ice-cream, gelato, or soymilk. then you get to choose your flavour from a wide array of flavours. there's loads of fruity flavours and the standard one as well (strawberry, grape, pea-but-nutter(peanut butter makes us go a little nuts), nutella, green tea, black sesame) just to name a few. you too get to choose what colour you want your ice-cream to be. so bascially you can choose caramel gelato, with blue colouring, making your caramel ice-cream blue. its like super mindfucked when you're eating your ice-cream. then you choose your topping. 

so i had the black sesame, gelato base, topped with peanuts, and grape soymilk with no topping. i opted for no colouring, just cuz i wasn't feeling funky that day. i thought the grape soy was pretty good, but the black sesame gelato lacked black sesame flavour. it just didn't have that punch of black sesame i was hoping for. priced about 12.90 a cup, i would much rather go for the goma ice-creams in japanese restaurants. i would go back for the fruity-soy flavours cuz those were something different for your palette, not your usual flavour you get elsewhere.

remember, if you want to experience the wtf moment of having like green nutella ice-cream, this is your opportunity.

Serai @ Empire

Having heard people rave about the amazing desserts in Serai, I had to try it for myself.

they had a pretty neat and interesting selection of desserts it was like i wanted to try almost everything because almost everything sounded so interesting and so good. pistachio creme brulee (i'm a sucker for creme brulees. it was love at first bite when i had my very first creme brulee in paris), nutella ravioli (i mean how does this not sound interesting right seeing how raviolis are normally savory-orientedm and i mean nutella, hello?), berry pavlova (you have no idea how many people i've heard talking about the amazing sugar explosion in your mouth of this berry pavlova), Banoffee pie(I'm and avid fan of banoffee pie. back in london, i used to eat like the whole pie, just me, my spoon and dear old banoffee), swiss roll meringue, cempedak cheese cake, i could go on and on. 

see what i mean, they aren't classic desserts. they don't do classic new york cheesecake bake, they do cempedak cheesecakes, they don't do nutella cakes, they do nutella raviolis, they have this spin to their menu, making their desserts seem out-of-the-ordinary.

so yes, i had my expectations set pretty high. 

the tough part was choosing. we settled for the berry pavlova and the banoffee pie. i mean pavlova came recommended, and banoffee is our all time fav dessert, like i said, me and my tray of banoffee and my spoon.

 the berry pavlova-basically meringues layers sandwiching cream and fresh berries in between. maybe because i set my expectations too high, this was a huge disappointment. textural wise, the meringue was a disappointment. it should be a melt in the mouth kind of texture, kind of like a marshmellow-ish texture, but that's not what i got. the meringue was a huge fail. also, the cream was meant to cut through the sweetness of the meringue but i felt like there was a tad bit too much cream. plus i've had the best pavlova elsewhere  but i'll save that for another post. so yea, not something i would order ever again. plus for 14.80++ you'd expect more berries, like at least sufficient berries to go with every bite, but nope.

chocolate banoffee pie-banana and toffee, go figure. the classic ones i used to have in uk is a digestive base, topped with banana coated with loads of toffee, and topped with whipped cream. i'm not a fan of whipped cream so i normally scrap the cream aside, so i can't comment on how this chocolate-whipped cream differed from a classic banoffee. there were lots of bananas, but if you notice, there are hollow areas between the bananas, so i kind of felt like they could have done better. there was insufficient toffee either. i guess with so many banoffees i've had, my benchmarks for this is quite high, and this did not make the bar. pricing similar to the pavlova, i guess i just expected more.

but the drink-wise, the honeydew blast was amazing-its basically ice blended fresh honeydews, with lychee and a hint of lime. it was so good, i whacked the whole drink before i could even take a picture of it. trust me. priced at 10.50, i order it everytime i Serai. and if u were thinking of ordering the seraiiced tea which does look pretty captivating, lemon sorbet, lemongrass extract and a hint of fresh mint, i'd suggest otherwise. the previous tops the latter hands down, even price-wise. the serai iced tea is priced at 12.50 and tastes a tad bit weird. 

overall, a disappointment. the food-great i mean (for another day), but these 2 desserts, not something i'd recommend. not worth your ka-ching. but that's not to say i won't go back for the really good sounding choco-lava-cake, or nutella ravioli.
