This imposing eatery is known to be an institution of cakes and pastries. Be amazed by the interior, it’s not your common bakery or cake shop, it’s embellished to spell elegance at every corner. Salted egg yolk croissant tops the billing but if you need another reason to visit, lemon cheesecake is your best bet. Dense, creamy and absolutely yummy – the cracker crust, lemon and cheese filling and lemon curd roof are spot-on, be it texture and taste. All you need is a good cuppa by the side and you’re in seventh heaven. 

White chocolate. Lemon. Cheese. Cake. Put them all together and you have a slice of heaven before you. And if you need one that is flawlessly executed, hop over to Doi Chaang Coffee, a popular brand from Thailand, tucked in Johor Bahru City Square. Mind-blowingly good, the melted white chocolate brilliantly binds together with the citrus and creamy flavour and the result is not cloyingly sweet. Just a blink of an eye and your plate is sparklingly clean. Are you still calorie counting? Just grab your second or third slice. 

Are you tired of cheese? Okay, let’s put it another way. Do you want to taste a pure lemon cake? Of course, you do. Make your way to Sweet Blossom Coffee Roasters, their lemon cake and aromatic coffees are as good as the name of the joint. Expect a lively and vibrant backdrop and young baristas who have latte art up their sleeves. The cake is moist, spongy and bursts to the fore with citrusy and sweet overtones. A lovely lemony treat that wins over your loyalty.
