Cakes and Coffee at Passionfood in Taman Pelangi, Johor Bahru

I am quite familiar with Passionfood now, being invited by Chi Ling (the boss) for the third time. This time, Chi Ling wanted me to try her famous house baked cakes. I think Chi Ling's passion for baking is the passion in the name Passionfood :)



Coming to Passionfood reminds me of going to my friend's house during my childhood - my friend Ah Mun would bring out all his favourite toys and treasures to share and enjoy them together with me :)



Chi Ling brought out her favourite cakes (just like Ah Mun bringing out his favourite toys) and we enjoyed them together over a nice coffee and latte art which she made herself :) We had so much fun.



The first cake we had was the Chocolate Chestnut Truffle (RM8.90).  The cake contains dark cherry with brandy and an Oreo bottom.



The second was Passionfood's signature White Forest (RM 8.90) which was made of vanilla sponge with strawberry light cheese cream and has a white chocolate coater outside.



The dark chocolate log (RM7.50). No sugar added and has a chocolate cookie bottom.

 

The dark Cherry Cheesecake (RM7.90) with cookies bottom.



This is the Strawberry Paradise (RM12.90). The cake has a pie layer, baked almond cream layer, custard with strawberries and sponge cake topped with fresh strawberries and blueberries.



 
Passionfood's unique Bailey's-misu (RM9.90) was tiramisu with a Bailey's twist. As Bailey's is one of my fav before-bed liquors, I like this tiramisu very much.

 

Saving the best for last. The lastttt oneeeee.. Chi Ling's personal favourite Salted Caramel (RM 7.50) consists of chocolate brownie bottom, dark chocolate cake, almond flakes, salted caramel, dark chocolate mousse and dark chocolate ganache! So, complicated. For me it was "just eat lah!" yum, yum :)

Whenever I need to chill or have a tête-à-tête with friends, Passionfood would be one of  my top choices. Great cakes, good coffee in a clean, cheerful and comfortable setting.
