One of the most Malaysian dessert ever would be the cempedak cheesecake. Even if you’re not a fan of the fruit itself, this cake is something you have to try at least once in your life.
This deliciously thick and creamy cake is so good that even if you’re feeling so full, you still wouldn’t want to share this with anyone else.
Aside from the cempedak, they have your typical cakes like Oreo to some really special flavours such as durian too. You’ll come back every time to try the many cheesecake flavours that they have.
