I am a sucker for cute and throw in Year of the Pig - I got us these pig designed swiss roll! Famed for her fuwa fuwa rolls, matcha rolls and seasonal delights, I knew I had to complete my cake listing with this! Callebaut ruby chocolate, strawberry sponge, fresh cantily, raspberry compote The sponge is still as addictively delicious as her bakes are, light yet chewy and the cream had a sweet and tangy profile with the mix of raspberry compote. While this may not be my favouritest of all her bakes, she ranks high for her sponge cakes - can't wait to try her other bakes!

Milk Moons, the other cake shop, is a brainchild of the owners behind Chalk Farm and there are similarities between both brands. There are perma flavours that are available and others that are unique to Milk Moons. Pulut Serunding (2 for $5) Glutinous rice with fresh coconut cream served with spiced chicken and coconut floss I was sold on the spiced chicken and coconut floss which reminds of the spicy hae bi hiam that gets sandwiched in my favourite savoury nonya kueh - lemper udang. My main grouse is always not having enough stuffing and this is a dream come true with more stuffing than rice! Tasty and addictively so, I could have just overdosed on the floss...and perhaps the team should just bottle and sell it. Way tastier than chicken floss alone! Gula Melaka Chiffon ($4.20) Their chiffon cake range consists of four different flavours and each comes naked or creamed. Light and so moist, I get sold within the first bite. I adore how thinly coated the cake is and that unmistakenable p...

I cannot leave Malaysia without eating an egg sponge cake - and I was even toying with the idea of ordering the famous 3D Durian Cakes as a logcake but it was too pricey to pay for a 1.2kg durian cream cake. And then I found out TW Original Cake has an exclusive flavor! Original flavor is the only one baked freshly, the other flavours are chilled. Durian King (RM 30) unfortunately is not made on the spot, they are already chilled when we got ours and I guess hot durian cake hinges on gross tasting anyway? The consistency is there except the cakes had plenty of cracks, from the freshly baked to the chilled ones so if appearance matters then this outlet at Sunway Velocity does not make the cut. That said, we had our cheapest "logcake" in years and boy, it was delicious. It does taste like durian cream cake with the durian pulp woven in cleverly. Do give this new flavor a try when you're in Malaysia!

~Invited Session~ Ah Mah is now into their 13th outlet at Changi Airport and with this new opening, we were treated to two exclusive flavours for the month of December! Hello exclusive flavours! I expect the snaking queues... Without a doubt their cakes first catch your attention through the fragrance that wafts through the airport. I had the privilege to steal a glimpse at how they bake their cakes - clearly, I learnt zilch of the secret behind these fluffy cakes but I guess, I really do not mind paying for them! Freshly squeezed pandan extract goes into this thick and very creamy cake mixture. I'm amazed how much hand work is involved in getting one tray out - those arm muscles are really built! Smoothening of the layer for that perfect poof. Lo and behold, fresh out of the oven! Only the original and pandan gets inked! P andan ($11) Made with pandan leaves extract, this fragrant one gives our famed pandan chiffon a run for its money. Light and springy...

I hide no shame in admitting I head over the Causeway for my egg sponge cake fixes - the queues are way shorter and they are priced way more wallet friendly. Granted there are other errands to run as well! The price lists - loud and clear, outstanding and visible. The queue system is well thought through and I prefer this over physically queuing. I even had time to see how they unveiled their freshly baked cakes from the oven! Hot, steaming and measured to precision. Spot the oozing cheese at the corners. At RM19 this was a steal, given our strong currency too. After a good 6 hours later, it looked pretty much intact! I've had the cake straight from the oven and hours later - still sold on that marshmellowy texture that makes eating clouds - a very possible idea. Original and cheese have both won our hearts, onto their chicken floss and chocolate flavours next!
