Favourite 'Sweet Indulgence' of 2014

Little girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice....no, not the Powerpuff Girls....but I've come to my last and final post on my favourite eats of 2014 and what better way than to end with desserts, of course....and so, here's my favourite 'sweet indulgence' of 2014

I don't eat a lot of sweets personally as I'm more into savoury eats, so this list may not truly reflect what's really good out there but they're my favourites from the few that I've eaten in 2014.

Top Hat Restaurant @ Jalan Stonor


This Warm Chocolate Pudding had a deep chocolaty flavour and a gooey centre and the homemade orange ice cream brought a tangy freshness to the dessert.
 
Fahrenheit 600 @ Publika


This Chocolate Mousse Cake was decadent and sinful but oh-so-good :)
 
Chinoz on the Park @ Suria KLCC

The Rainbow Cake was the probably the 'craze cake' for 2014.  I love a beautifully-coloured cake (just like everyone else) and this one tasted as good as it looked...great with a cup of hot coffee.
 
Bonjour Garden @ Intermark Mall

This Chocolate Galaxy with its velvety, glistening chocolate encasing a moist cake inside, was lip smacking good!  Although I don't particular go crazy over chocolate, I do acknowledge that chocolate plays a major part in many (if not most) of the good desserts out there.
 
Alexis Bistro @ Great Eastern Mall

The Tiramisu with Strawberry Sauce is a firm favourite that everybody raves about here.  I liked it because of the strawberry sauce which managed to cut through the richness of the cake, and although it didn't have that intense coffee flavour, it was still a very good cake.

Frisky Goat @ TTDI


This immensely refreshing strawberry-raspberry infused Red Opera, with a crunchy-sweetish nut topping, has to be my all-time favourite piece of cake =)  I just love cakes with a pretty, fruity taste...sweet!
 
Map's (Revisit) @ Bandar Sunway

Coming really close to my all-time favourite cake is a somewhat surprising find that made the list (seeing how I don't like cheese)...but this was a  slice of heaven!  It's the Gula Melaka Cotton Cheesecake with a cheese layer that's ever so soft and light that even 'cheese haters' would like :D  Also absolutely loved their Real Vanilla Bean Ice Cream made with...what else.....real vanilla beans, of course!
 
Madame Waffle @ Mid Valley

These Belgian liege waffles (like the Coffee Tiramisu) would surely satisfy one's sweet tooth.  The vanilla infused waffle with pearl sugar and the pure honey glazed waffle were the ones I liked best.
 
 
And finally, rounding up my list is the Boston Shortcake that was visually vibrant and full of zesty flavours.  The ever crispy and freshly fried Spanish Churros (with dark Belgian chocolate) were just as d-lightful ;)
 
These are my favourite 'sweet indulgence' of 2014 from the short list of sweets that I've managed to sample as I don't partake in sweet stuff that often.....but when I do, it's those with tangy, zesty flavours that get the better of me each time.

*Everybody join in and sing along*.....sweet dreams are made of these...who am I to disagree!!!

    1. Hey, it's just a sponge cake in beautiful colours. Hope you get to try it one day before the craze (of last year) dies out :)

    2. That's what I heard - nothing great, just colourful...but I think somebody told me off in a comment and insisted that it is very nice...that I had eaten the wrong ones....bla...bla...bla! Well, I didn't get to eat even...ever - some people told me...and I get put off by the colours.

    3. If you start off with a good sponge cake, then the cake is nice lah! The colours have nothing to do with the taste...it's just artificial colouring (but I just like the pretty colours). It's fine if they've eaten nice ones but not nice to belittle others who have not tried or say they've eaten the wrong ones. There was a blog comment I saw the other day that said "you should not call yourself a (name of food) lover until you have tried this one". I was like...what...I can still be a (name of food) lover even if I've not tried that one (so I did one day and I wasn't blown away). Sometimes, it's not 'what you say' but 'how you say it' that matters (hey, I'm no 'saint' either, I do give negative comments too but it's usually done in a 'nicer' manner (at least that's what I think...kekeke!)

    1. The Belgian Chip Cookie missed the cut only because there were already too many chocolaty desserts in the list :(

  6. Hahaha, I thought I have a sweet tooth but you who prefer savoury food have eaten way more sweet food than I have. Very good! Sweet food is tasty! Out of your list, I have only tried the waffle and that is only after reading your review. Thanks! :D

    1. You're right...I do prefer savoury food but my friends have a sweet tooth. But just know that I usually take a bite or two (ok-lah, sometimes maybe 3) to taste only and leave my friends to finish the rest, otherwise I would not have anything sweet to feature in my blog :-)

  7. Oh this post is trouble for me! I have such a sweet tooth, now you've given me cravings for something chocolaty and rich. ;-)
