Review: Fuwa Fuwa and Harold's Bread at Petaling Jaya

Checking out a couple of new PJ bakery-cafes within a five-minute drive of each other: Jaya One’s Fuwa Fuwa …

… & Jaya Shopping Centre’s Harold’s Bread.

1. Fuwa Fuwa

First up, Fuwa Fuwa, spaciously inundated with natural light at The School, the recently launched section of Jaya One that’s still unruffled by crowds, for better or worse.

Breakfast Platter

Fuwa Fuwa strives for simplicity; its all-day-breakfast platter comprises eggs (fried or scrambled), with chicken sausages & ham for RM13.

Bakeries

The buns & bread on Fuwa Fuwa’s shelves look fairly fun …

… as do the cakes, perhaps for a teatime treat next time (count us in for Cheesy Carrot!).

Beverages

Good milkshake (butterscotch flavour, if memory serves us well), decent coffee.

2. Harold’s Bread

Next up, Harold’s Bread, the first branch in the Klang Valley for a barely year-old Ipoh-based brand.

Beef Brisket Croissant Sandwich

This beef brisket croissant sandwich came cheap, well below RM10, but the meat tasted somewhat too processed.

Pastries

Some of the pastries, from strudels to doughnuts, seemed pretty tempting …

… so maybe we made the wrong choices, since the two we tried were evocative of a bland-tasting school cafeteria cream bun that would have cost 20 sen in the 1980s & a lump of undercooked dough.
