Sweet Temptations by JJ Cakes, Ipoh

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!!!
