After lunch at Four Seasons, I was craving for some desserts. I have read good things about Whisk Expresso Bar & Bake Shop, and it was conveniently located just a few shops away from Jaya Grocer.
The cafe is rather small, but very cosy and quaint. Luckily for us, the place wasn't packed (apparently it is very packed during the weekends). Whisk offers both sweet and savoury bites, but I was just interested in getting some desserts.
Being a weekday, there was still a large selection of cakes available. Since I've read many rave reviews about the Red Velvet Cake (RM11.90) here, we decided to try this. Apparently, this cake is one of the bestsellers at Whisk. The cake was moist enough but I would have preferred it with a thicker layer of cream frosting.
The owners love macarons hence the reason for introducing them at Whisk. The macarons here are so popular that they usually run out by late afternoon. We were able to sample 3 different flavours; pistachio (pale green), blackberry (purple) and pina colada (beige). The macarons were light and airy enough with a crisp shell and chewy filling. Off all the flavours, I liked the pistachio the best. The other two flavours did not have any distinct taste. The macarons here are pretty tiny, and sell for RM2 each. They also have large macarons at RM5.50 each.
i love this kind of bake shop. but then this is soooo far awayyyy
ReplyDeleteEveryone loves macarons lol
ReplyDeleteSubang = not my area T_T
ReplyDeleteAnyway, my mom and her friends tried My Preference Kitchen. Not bad and prices are good. :D
Been there once to try out the famous Red Velvet. Their coffees are pretty good too. I like the place but it is kinda small which is virtually impossible to get a seat during weekends.
ReplyDeletei guess what i like best about this place is the warmth and genuine smiles radiating from its owners :D
ReplyDeleteLove this cafe too! Felt so warm inside, like a cafe at some back street. Their chocolate macaron is the best-seller, sold out all the time! I tried once, it was very good! Try it next time :)
ReplyDeleteEmpire is full of place to eat, am still trying to check out many more eateries here.
ReplyDeleteno coffee? heard from a friend that the coffee is half decent.
ReplyDeleteI do suggest you to drop by The Vanilla place which better than this place in terms of pastries.
ReplyDeleteThe big macarons there just cost RM4.50
I wonder when can I have my virgin try on macaron ler >.<
ReplyDeleteAi Wei: Yeah, just happened to be at Subang that day if not I would not go all the way there too.
ReplyDeletejfook: Haha macarons are nice ma.
ReplyDeleteMichelle: Glad your mum liked My Cantonese Preference, very handy for them when they're lazy to cook. :)
ReplyDeleteSean: Yeah the owners are very friendly.
ReplyDeletezoe: The main purpose was to try their macarons, but unfortunately there was only 3 flavours available that day.
ReplyDeleteChong: Yeah another friend of mine also said their coffee was good. But I dont drink coffee. :P
ReplyDeleteNava: I love the Four Seasons duck at Empire. Try it!
ReplyDeleteJoe: I don't drink coffee so didn't try
ReplyDeleteemail2me: Yeah if I ever happen to be in Subang, would go to yr recommended place for some macarons. So far, my fav macaron place is Babycakes... only RM2.20 for their salted caramel and its soooo nice.
ReplyDeleteChoi Yen: Oh never try macaron b4 ah? You can try Nathalie's or Babycakes - both nice ah.
