Stressed is desserts spelt backwards, and if that isn’t convincing enough to indulge in a moment of pure culinary bliss, then you are a lost cause my friend. Desserts are the way, fullstop.
Here’s 7 desserts you should seriously treat yo’ self to.
1. Souffle at Franco’s

Franco is known for their awesome culinary marriage between French and Japanese cuisine, so it’s only appropriate they serve the amazingly fluffy French souffle’s in Vanilla, Matcha and Chocolate variations. Their chocolate souffle is a must-try for chocolate addicts, as they’re laden with rich gooey chocolate goodness!
Their souffle’s (RM17.80) puff up light and airy above their cute clay pot, and a gentle little poke will reveal a gooey meringue interior. Trust Franco to create little utopian baked goods, as the restaurant was converted from a bakery.

2. Gourmet Doughnuts at Chequers Bakery

A friendly neighbourhood cafe in Taman Tun Dr Ismail has been taking doughnuts to a whole new level, and their sweet gourmet doughnuts is everything.
Chequers Bakery’s doughnuts are blanketed in frosting and rich glazes alike, but what stuns are their creative freshly-baked selections. Lemon Poppy Seed sees a delicious pairing of white chocolate and lemon icing finished off with poppy seeds and mint leaves. They also take on local flavours – their Pandan Gula Melaka is essentially a Malaysian version of salted caramel thanks to the salty gula melaka caramel with oats set atop (RM5 each).
The bakers behind Chequers interestingly put a lot of emphasis on the dough of their doughnuts, using cake dough and chai seed dough to set themselves apart from the usual yeast dough. The result? Much better texture. Afterall, they are gourmet doughnuts. Their menu of doughnuts are set to change now and then, but for now this newly opened bakery are just getting started. Psst, they also have pretty kickass savoury doughnuts, like BBQ Beef Ribs and Mac-&-Cheese!
Address: First Floor, 153, Jalan Aminuddin Baki, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur.

Softcore’s molten lava cakes have sweeped across social media, and for good reason: slice the cake exterior, and molten liquid goodness oozes out. Their Matcha Lava Cake deserves special mention, because, c’mon you can’t beat a gooey matcha encased inside a matcha cake now can you?!
Their cakes (RM15) are perfectly accompanied by a scoop of ice cream, usually vanilla. Oh, and salted egg yolk lovers, don’t miss out – Softcore does salted egg yolk molten cakes, complete with fried curry leaves, cornflakes and vanilla icecream for a true medley in your mouth.

4. Sweet Appam at A Li Yaa

A Li Yaa’s little known secret is their killer Sweet Appam, a dosai-style shell filled with thickened coconut milk and palm sugar inside a idli-style pancake. The rice pudding is forgone, and a crisp cone is opted instead. Think Indian/Sri Lankan crème caramel.
Their sweet appam that features just the right amount of sweetness with a touch of bitterness is the perfect ending to A Li Yaa’s Sri Lankan cuisine. Their appam’s come served plain, with egg or sweet. Apparently, their sweet appam comes with a dash of gula melaka!
