Dessert Bar by Stanley Choong in Sri Petaling: Café review

KL’s burgeoning breed of talented local patissiers continues to please: The latest young pastry chef to sweeten the scene is Stanley Choong, who trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Malaysia and Japan; his new cake and pastry parlour in Sri Petaling showcases a fair number of temptations worth tracking down – hunt for the bright neon bunny outside that seeks to beckon customers in.

Choux delights

The other choux drops:  Check out Stanley’s craquelins – diplomat cream puffs in varieties like spiced apple or French vanilla bean, offering a lightly crunchy bite that yields to many mouthfuls of sheer sumptuousness.

These prove to be painstakingly prepared desserts with pleasurably balanced flavours, from a layered tart of coconut panna cotta atop lime curd and almond dacquoise to a luscious Belgian chocolate mousse cake made memorably textured with yuzu cremeux, caramelised salted hazelnuts and almond flakes. Mostly RM13-RM15 each. Service is warm, living up to the storefront’s ‘Welcome Home’ one-liner.
