We are eating dessert, with two cake flavours I've never tried before. It's called Swish Cafe in Atria Shopping Gallery. Best cakes in Kuala Lumpur. They won time out for being recognised as one of the city's top 40 restaurants. So it has to be good la, correct or no bro? Ah yeah fair enough. Confirm good right? Okay, ngam! This is the Ferrero Rocher Nutella Mousse. It's creamy, not too spongy and so savoury. Girlfriend what do you have to say? This is not very sweet la. I also said that the cream is like not so too thick. And the Ferrero Rocher is the metaphorical cherry on top. You don't want to give me half? You get this cake. Aku tidur lu ah! Nutella with Ferrero Rocher with chunky nuts, cannot go wrong. 8 out of 10. Say hello to the Chempadak cake slice. Jangan cake tower! It's got a nice balance of Chempadak with vanilla and a milky taste. Mmm! I think what is good about this is that they didn't make the Chempadak taste overpowering. It's just nice. Subtle enough to be good but not bland. And when the girlfriend likes her food, her expression will become this. Muka puyo ah! It's like I'm eating Chempadak but in a good way. I like Chempadak but I don't know how to scrap this feeling. It's so unexpected. This is the kind of food I'm talking about. Like they innovate with a localized taste using Chempadak and then they just make it work. I'll give this an 8.8 lah. I'll give it a 9. Ashrim here is good. Ashrim? Cake here is good. Total damage, 35 ringgit. Bro! What is your most recommended cake? Our signature number one is Chempadak cake. Number two, we have dark chocolate. But actually, I want to recommend durian. But it's only on Saturday and Sunday only. Thank you ah!
