A trio of sweet delights...
The Pink Stacks, The Last Polka ice cream and colorful macarons
Hubby and I were killing time before our food review at Di Wei in Empire Subang. Knowing how much I love all things sweet, he turned to me and said, "Wanna go to Whisk?". Who says men don't know their women well. LOL.
When we walked through the door, the first thing we noticed was The Pink Stacks (RM14.90). I follow Whisk on Facebook and always read that these cakes sell FAST (or always sold out). Lo and behold, there it was... the last piece of cake, waiting dutifully for me. Come to mama...
Whisked away to a magical place filled with all things nice..
The main attraction for me is how pretty it looks. Layers of pink colored ombre white chocolate flavoured buttercake with WHISK's Signature Rose Buttercreme really does it for me. Not only a pretty cake, it tasted pretty lovely and moist.
Hurrah.. I got the last piece!
Pretty in every angle
When we saw that they sold The Last Polka ice cream here, we decided to get one of those too. We first tried it at Ril's Steakhouse, where we had the salted gula melaka flavour which we loved. Hubby chose the teh tarik flavour this time, which was alright but as a matter of personal preference, I liked the salted gula melaka flavour better.
The Last Polka ice cream - teh tarik flavour (RM7.20)
Creamy ice cream
Ah, I can never resist macarons. We got three flavours to share - red velvet, rose and chocolate. They are quite small and are priced at RM2.20 each. Texture wise, they are not very consistent, mostly too soft in the centre. Out of the three flavours, the chocolate one is the best followed by rose.
I love stacking em' macarons
Friends have often told me that Whisk does really good coffee, but since I am not a coffee drinker, I couldn't put that to the test and just had tea instead. However, another reader Ulric mentioned that they do a fab Oreo milkshake - now that's something I would love to return and try. ;)
English breakfast tea (RM6)
Love the pretty floor

Yeah...their Oreo or is it Cookies n Cream milkshake is superb without any ice chips inside :D
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to revisit n try their dark choc latte lar...hehe =)
You mean they usually put ice chips in the milkshake? So strange one.. I thought usually milkshake no ice.
DeleteThose not good milkshakes when u slurp them u can actually taste the ice particles in them...in Whisk's case there's none whatsoever...tats why it's so superbly smooth =)
DeleteHmm maybe I dont drink enough milkshakes but usually the ones I like are made with ice cream. (no ice particles whatsoever).
DeleteLucky u...hahaha! Looking forward to their dark choc latte...tat shud give a nice kick =)
Deleteooh, the pink stacks does look very pretty. i love the lightness of the color. i know this sounds like a bad description, but i'm kinda thinking that it looks like an albino red velvet! :D
ReplyDeleteLOL albino red velvet, that made me laugh! They do have red velvet here as well, but I definitely prefer The Pink Stacks.
Deletefrom what you ordered, you are really a sweet person ^_^. I am not so much of sweet things..
ReplyDeleteYeah I especially love macarons. I went to Singapore and had macarons two meals in a row.
DeleteThe pink stacks looks so sweet and pretty! I like1 They have the rainbow cake too!! =D
ReplyDeleteYes, I saw the rainbow cake on their Facebook too. That's another pretty cake ;)
Deleteyay to sweet food! LOL* I should go back and try the pink stack...but it looks too beautiful to be eaten! Prefer Nathalie's macarons though~:)
ReplyDeleteI also prefer Mandarin Cake Shop and Nathalie's macaron, but the cake was pretty good. I like the nice ambiance here too for a quiet tea break.
DeleteTrue, Whisk cakes are not bad. Thnks for that! Never knew bout Mandarin Cake shop!
DeleteI like how the layers on the cake gradually change from dark at the bottom to lighter at the top.
ReplyDeleteYeah me too, different hues of pink. :)
DeleteWow! I kept seeing ombré cakes on pinterest and wasn't game enough to make my own. Shall visit this place then! Oh I do love The Last Polka Icecream too. Had it once at the bee.
ReplyDeleteI like the salted gula melaka flavour from The Last Polka.
DeleteYummm!!! Macarons! Can't get any year...so long since I had some, Drool! Drool! Teh tarek ice cream? Interesting...
ReplyDeleteThe Last Polka does many interesting flavours such as Horlicks and salted gula melaka too.
DeleteWhisk has certainly had a longer and more successful life compared to the poor Opera cake shop that used to be next door! Wa but if we had a review coming up I don't think we could fit in desserts before! lol
ReplyDeleteI got a spare compartment for desserts ;P
DeleteThe cake is undeniable pretty but I also worry about how much colouring they used >.< *RUN*
ReplyDeleteHaha not gonna eat it everyday ma.. so it's ok la.
