Review: Wetzel's Pretzels Malaysia at Sunway Pyramid

Craving carbs? Pretzel Power to the rescue! California-based chain Wetzel’s Pretzels has opened its first Malaysian outpost in Sunway Pyramid, promising doughy delights that taste fresh and hot from the oven.

Pretzels Galore

A different kind of pretzel for every type of taste bud, from plain salted/unsalted ones that start from RM3 to premium varieties enriched with garlic butter, sour cream and onion, cheese, pepperoni, cinnamon, chocolate or almonds (up to RM5 per pretzel).

These flavoursome pretzels are the soft-baked sort but they still supply a pleasant chew, substantial but not strenuous. Hearty enough to be filling meals, not simply a snack. Our only possible complaint: they’re pretty oily.

Sure, these are entirely empty calories of the fast-food variety, but they sure put the pleasure in ‘guilty pleasure.’

Also fun to try: Wetzel Bitz, convenient RM5 bags of bite-sized pieces of pretzel.

We have to confess to also liking the Wetzel Cheese Dog (RM9), a thick-and-long beef frankfurter wrapped in cheesy-crusty pretzel dough. A trillion calories consumed in 10 minutes.
