A lot of tributes have been written up about this chocolate banana cake hence out of curiousity, I tracked down this tiny cafe opened by Malaysian designer, Zang Toi just in front of the Malaysian Designers section in Sungai Wang Plaza. Although they serve local food, pastas and sandwiches and humongous looking banana milkshakes, I was determined to just try the Chocolate Banana Cake (RM8.50 with ice cream) which I have heard so much about.
It's composed of four layers of chocolate cake interspered with freshly sliced bananas. A scoop of vanilla ice cream completes the whole ensemble with lots of chocolate fudge sauce. The cake layers are fudgy and moist making it pure indulgence or perfect to get over a broken heart.

People had been complimenting the Zang Toi's cafe, but it didn't really attract me much. However, with the picture that you post here, I'm definitely going to give it a try. Picture speaks itself. Thanks
ReplyDeletemmm... good stuff indeed... funny how coincidences work. a friend was just asking me about the zang toi chocolate banana cake yesterday night.
ReplyDeleteoh boo_licious, if only you had written about this 2 weeks back when I dropped into KL for a short trip - based on your shot of this fudgy slice, I would have definitely gone to the cafe at Sg Wang! OK - I'm bookmarking this cafe during my next shopping trip into KL!
