banana cake @ hiap joo bakery & biscuit factory (large packet)

we got 8 packets.

fresh from the oven, very hot! we were told to leave the box open so there would not be condensation falling back on the cake.

according to johorkaki, hiap joo was started by an englishman & operating since 1919, and handed over to the great granfather of the current owners in the 1930s. and they have used the same wood fired clay brick kilns from when the time it started operations.

it was a very nice cake really, slightly charred outside, not too sweet, not too dense, perfect texture spongy & moist…

but of course i am never to queue for this thing myself.

nice coffee – several friends said over roasted

the rest of us sat at the coffeeshop opposite (restaurant kin hua) & ordered coffee.

i enjoyed this coffee though a few friends rmarked that it was over-roasted. the evaporated milk for my kopi c gosong very “pang” & very well smoothly blended with the flavourful coffee. almost like the nespresso at my running mate house very week where he added evaporated milk to nespresso.

some durian pastry

there was some stall at the coffeeshop selling this durian kueh.

some durian pastry

i didn’t think much of it. took 1/2. there were like 2 piece left so some friends not taking too.

after that we movd in 2 groups to ksl city mall.
