RT Pastry House @ Taman Danau Desa
precious that comes in a little brown box
RT Pastry House, a Taiwanese bakery is so famous that they need no further introduction. Other than the outlet in Danau Desa, they have another two outlets located at Subang Jaya and IOI Boulevard.
I love their cheese cakes; the blueberry cheese cake (RM 4.50) to be specific. It is lighter than usual, but the cheese flavor is very rich and intense. And for some reasons, blueberries always go well with cheese.

Smokehouse @ Jalan Telawi, Bangsar
I’ve never been to England but I’m head over heels in love with English Tudor style cottages after my stay in a beautiful tudor style bed & breakfast in Taiwan.
I’m glad that we have smokehouse here in KL; a cozy restaurant that exudes old English charm. The Smokehouse has came a long way. They started out in Cameron Highlands as Smokehouse Hotel & Restaurant and followed by the Ye Olde Smokehouse in Fraser’s Hill. In 1992, The Smokehouse made its debut in Jalan Yap Kwan Seng and last year Datuk Woo decided to relocate it to Bangsar.
Other than traditional English grubs such as beef wellington and yorkshire puddings, the Smokehouse in Bangsar takes pride in their extensive Thai menu. Our first thought was “Thai food in such a beautiful English setting?” but breathed a collective sigh of relief when we found out that their Thai chefs were previously with Rama V. That would give us some quality assurance.

Snowflake Taiwanese Dessert @ Pavilion KL
Snowflake Pavilion is having a BUY 1 FREE 1 promotion until 31 January 2010! Don’t miss it!
My colleague inadvertently introduced me to this dessert place in SS15 that is manned by her friends – a Taiwanese husband and Malaysian wife team. The dynamic duo has been working on the menu and the recipes prior to the opening of their brainchild – Snowflake. The husband even worked in one of the dessert places in Taiwan to learn how to operate a restaurant. And now they have opened a second outlet in Pavilion Mall within a year; this is a true recognition of the care and effort they put into making the dessert place a special place for guests to stay and dine.
I managed to persuade KampungBoy to give the place a try by telling him that Snowflake’s Taro Ball is as good as the one from Jiufen, Taiwan. The Pavilion outlet is more like a kiosk, unlike the spacious setting in SS15. Once you have placed your order, the waiting staff will give you a cute device – beeping UFO. It will beeps and vibrates to let you know that your desserts are ready!

JJ Swiss Roll @ De Mouth Restaurant, Ipoh
I remembered having a first taste of JJ Swiss Roll at a friend’s place few years back and I was really impressed with the varieties. Since then, JJ Swiss Roll has expanded to 3 outlets and the one nearest to me is actually this “shop” (more like a kiosk with chiller and all) located at the back corner of De’ Mouth, a Chinese restaurant.
I went back home few months back, with a mission at hand – to complete m’dam Christine and m’dam Ivy’s order. I got them two rolls each. Using only fresh fruits and vegetables, the maximum shelf life of these swiss rolls is 3 days. I like the light and fluffy texture and the generous fillings of cream and assorted nuts.
