Top Five Favourite Desserts

Being avid sugar fanatics, we shall start off our first food post with  . . . the almighty creation that completes a course meal . . . DESSERTS.  By regulation, it is served as a meal finalé. But to us, desserts are main course anytime of the day! Thumbs up if you agree :) 

We will share with you a few confectionery that we'll never ever say ' NO ' to, it is of course our top favorite sugars.  

 
Le chocolat : Plan B's Macadamia Brownie 
Priced at RM 11,
it is served warm with chocolate sauce and a dollop of vanilla ice cream.

Don't be fooled by its simplicity outlook at the display shelf, this is one heavenly choice with moist interior that melts in the mouth followed by chunks of aromatic macadamia nuts that compliments the flavor. 
Plan B's outlet are available in Bangsar Village 1, opposite starbucks and also
Publika @ Solaris Dutamas, opposite MPH. 
Available until 1am! 


 

La Vanille : Mc Donald's Vanilla Sundae 
Priced at RM 1 , 
this is the most tantalizing vanilla flavored ice cream we've ever tasted. 
The texture is oh- so - smooth, almost like eating cold fresh cream. 
Lick it until the last bite where the entire dessert is adorned by its waffle cone. YUMS .

We came to an agreement that this is still the best ice cream yet. Apologies to Baskin Robins, Haagen Daz, Gelatos, etc etc. Mc Donald is still running ahead in this category! The ' i'm lovin' it!' chains can be found almost anywhere in this country! Gusto business strategy.   




Food Foundry@ Happy Mansion, Section 17
 Nadeje , Malacca
Butter Tree @ Symphony , Pusat Dagangan Dana 1

Le Gâteau : Mille Crepe Cake 
Priced at RM 9, 
this delicacy originated from France, ' mille ' means million in french, and hence the name of the cake, 
a million crepe layered with cold custard cream in between. 
Every bite is guarantee to make you yell "  I WANT MORE " ! No kidding.  

Probably due to the hefty effort paid to make this dessert, the price is always sky high for one slice. But we promise that the RM 10 note you use to settle the bill ( including tax and all ) will never be a regret, in fact you'll come back for more ! For first timers, we strongly recommend you to try out the original if not vanilla flavor first. The few bakeries in town that sells this yummies are : 

1) Food foundry, Happy Mansion, section 17 
2) Nadeje, Malacca 
3) Butter Tree, Symphony, Pusat Dagangan Dana 1
4) Arthur's Hokkaido Mille Crepe cake Tokyo Street, Pavilion 
5) Opera Bakery and coffee house, Empire Shopping Gallery  

To cater for events and such, try Humble beginnings Mille Crepe cake . 



 

La glace : Tutti Fruitti Double Chocolate Yoghurt 
Priced at RM 5.90 per 100g, 
one can satisfy one's chocolate crave without any pang of guilt,
we recommend you to eat it with these colorful fruit loops shown in the photo above because it gives an extra kick of fruity crunch!  

Yoghurt in general contains good bacteria that helps with the digestive tract, it can prevent osteoporosis, constipation, weight gain , etc etc. Kudos to Tutti Frutti for changing the concept of the traditional bottled yoghurt that can only be found in the dairy aisle of grocery stores into this funky new eat-it-as-you-like bon ton. And we can assure you that this yoghurt taste more like ice cream (but with much lower fat content) ! It is slightly more icy than average yoghurt and that explains our addiction. Thank god for franchising, this guilty free outlets are available in almost every large shopping malls and crowded neighborhoods.   


Vanilla Hokkaido Cake from RT Pastry.
Priced at RM 14.80 for a box of six, 
we think that this is the most genius Taiwanese dessert ever, besides bubble milk tea of course. 

It is actually soft cupcakes chilled at a certain temperature with fresh fluffy cream center that made it so moist and tantalizing. The icing sugar sprinkled on top gave the cake a cottony texture when you take a bite. We recommend you to take the initiative and get to RT as early as possible to buy these goodies because it is always sold out by tea time! 
we've had a few disappointing trips while trying to get our hands on just one box of these. 
RT Pastry has 3 outlets in Klang Valley. 
The one we are familiar with is located at SS15, right next to Public Bank.



These are just the few top favorite sugars on our humble dessert list, may subject to change over the time and it is agreed by the both of us only but of course vary in opinions among others. 
Thank you for staying tune :)

Bonjour and Bienvenue !

Welcome to J.A.M’s foodblog, if you worship food and love, please read on J
Have you ever heard how just Food and Love can complete one's life already? Well, technically speaking, it can. Love gratify one's emotions while food appease the senses. This is proven easily from the time one human meet another human and relationships + seasonings became the brainchild. Food on the whole is for well being, but who said it cant be made to taste heavenly? Not only it fills the stomach, it makes the whole process a stupendous experience. Love on the other hand is just purely awe- inspiring, no need further elaboration. 
Scientifically, having both together satisfy the soul mentally and physically, for when a person comes in contact with good food and true love, the brain will be triggered by adrenaline to produce chemical surge which in turn calls for a hormone – dopamine rush. This stimulates the ' desire and reward ' sensation that creates the fantastic orgasmic pleasure, almost like taking cocaine! ( NO, WE HAVE NOT TRIED COCAINE, totally saint people here ) . 

 Therefore, in the pursuit of achieving this ultimate happiness, and with LOVE in our hands already, we decided to spend our youth setting out to conquer the next best thing on Mother Earth . . .
* drum rolls * mouthwatering, scrumptious, ravishingly yummy and also heavenly affordable food in Malaysia.   

In this web log, we’ll take you on a journey where horrendous tasting food is not part of the stop, only luscious gourmet of different ethnics and desserts from paradise are guaranteed.  If food is your passion, practice the art of eating, life’s too short, so live to eat and learn to love.
