Sweet Temptations by JJ Cakes, Ipoh

May 29, 2008 | 6,226 views
Tweet
A day after the Gerik-Pengkalan Hulu excursion, I was ‘privileged’ to be chosen yet AGAIN to embark on another ‘adventure’ somewhere up north for 2 days, 1 night. But as I’ve not touched on the previous journey’s photos yet, I won’t blog about this one either.

Therefore, I’ll post something from the old stash. (which has been increasingly stacking up, right up till the point where I can’t sort which one to blog 1st, not to mention the taste/price of some which had slipped my mind, completely)

Fresh Durian (RM12)

One fine day, Mum bought some Swiss rolls, that were purpotedly hyped and recommended by her colleague, claiming that they are one of a kind, and certainly qualifies as one of the BEST in Ipoh. Wow, quite a boastful title to live up to, no? I’ll stop yapping now, and let the pics do their talking. Sounds fine? =P

Closer look at the creamy durian filling

Coffee Walnut (RM12)

Fresh Mango (RM12)

Fresh Strawberry (RM12)

Pumpkin Cream Cheese with Pumpkin Seeds (RM15)

Green Tea Cream Cheese with Sunflower Seeds (RM15)

The rolls should be refrigerated, and eaten within 3 days, as they claim NO preservatives were added. To those on strict diet, the low sugar content provides much-needed relief, meaning you can chomp on these without guilt.

All the flavours I’ve tried managed to impress me, Fresh Mango being my favourite, aside from the Cream Cheese range, which are excellent. They bake their cakes and Swiss rolls freshly, therefore you need to book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Prices maybe slightly steep, but the Swiss rolls’ portions are quite big, and all the ingredients used are fresh. Prices for cakes range from RM30 for basic butter cream sponge cake, to RM80 for Tiramisu Classic.

UPDATED 4/1/2009 !!!

New Location : JJ Cakes @ Ground Floor of Hotel Fairmont, Jalan Raja Permaisuri Bainun (formerly Jalan Kampar), 30250 Ipoh. Unsure of the place? It’s within the restaurant named De Mouth restaurant. Hotel Fairmont’s next to Methodist Girls’ School, and the roundabout near Tow Boo Keong temple. Still no idea? Here goes a MAP!!!

    Putting your children in the middle of adult decisions and conflicts hurts them more than it hurts your ex-spouse.
    There is nothing wrong with that; however, well known universities rarely offer this kind of deal.
    The teacher assumes the role of the host, and will guide the
    students through the game by asking them to pick a case and try
    to answer the question that it reveals.
