Cake Jalan Tiung @ Shah Alam


Did shafinaz bake her way into Hidzad's heart? the former banker says she began brushing up on the art of creating cakes several years back because her beau had a sweet tooth- now blissfully married, the couple have unveiled Cake Jalan Tiung this month, fronting the charge in Shah Alam for the klang valley's current, onslaught of autrageously beautiful cake shops.




Check out the origami birds- pimped up in Cake Jalan Tiung's shades of blue, yellow & white- that float over the caounter & threaten to flutter out through the spacious first-floor cafe's lofty windows. You'll also be able to admire the awesome craf of Malaysian furniture makers like LAIN& Fine Grit Studio while basking in serence silence- the outlet hasn't purchased speakers to play music, so the sole soundtrack to your coffea break might be Hidzad intermittently chattering on his cellphone.



It's been less than three years since Shafinaz sold her first cake, but since then, you may encountered her red velvet cakes & root beer cupcakes in some of KL;s favourite cafes, from Empire Damansara's sevencups to Bnagsar South's Thirdwave & Taman Paramount;s Awesome Canteen. Or you may have ordered them directly from Cake Jalan Tiung;s previous baking base in Bukit Rabson. If not, it;s worth making the trip to their new cafe sacrcely a 15-minute drive from subang- for temptations like this nut-studded christiung applegate apple cake, available by the tall & thick slice (RM12)




From salted caramel to trple chocolate cakes, the cake spade lemon meringue to berry sue pavlova. Cake Jalan Tiung's treats taste like cakes should- fresh from the oven9 (in this case, a Taiwanese-made beast of a machiine that weighs more than an adult male gorilla), before a chiller saps them of their flavour & lushness. Shafinaz & her team of hard working elves currently can bake only 10 cakes per day, so come early or run the risk of pleading for crumbs.
