Best Tarts in KL

Written by Updated ago

Whether it is eggy, creamy, sweet, savoury or tangy, a good tart lies on the crust and the filling. It’s like yin and yang as you take a first bite at the crispy pastry shell that crumbled beautifully into your mouth. Then comes the centrepiece – the flavour that tantalises your taste bud as you sink further, and leaves you wanting for more after your relishing journey ends with the last bite of the crust. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the heavenly world of tart-tasting experience.

    Lorem IpsumPork free d90bfb235d64e73ff14d8ad65b89aaab71a3af43962907cb9cd494af0a63fa21

    For those who are uninitiated, the word “lorem ipsum” is actually a dummy text used by designers to be inserted for layout purpose. But instead of an advertising agency that some might come to expect, Lorem Ipsum is actually a café that sells pastries, tarts and ice creams. Their tart selections are great, and they even manage to come up something as extraordinarily refreshing as Salted Gula Melaka Mousse with Pandan Jelly tart.
    Tips

    This hidden gem is located above Klinik Pergigian Drs Chai & Partners Dental Surgeons.

    Things to expect

    Cozy environment to chill out, but if you’re in the mood for expressing your creativity, this café provides an art jamming session that supplies blank canvas, easel, paintbrush and acrylic paint.
