Banana Cake @ Daily Grain Bakery 每日五谷 in Taman Perling, Johor Bahru

Today, I tasted a most delicious banana cake at Daily Grain Bakery 每日五谷 in Taman Perling. Daily Grain's soft and moist banana cake had that delicate, seductive fresh banana fragrance. The tender texture was punctuated with nuttiness from bits of walnuts in the banana cake.

Chopping the walnuts into tiny bits.

The walnut bits made the banana cake's texture more interesting - something that I did not find in banana cakes sold in other places. This banana cake was so good, I finished off half a dozen slices before I knew it J. No kidding. 

MR Lau, Daily Grain's affable boss shared that his banana cakes are made with only all natural ingredients, without any chemicals and preservatives added.

Those who bake know that over ripe bananas are sweetest and make the best cakes.

All the flavours came only from natural ingredients such as fresh eggs, bananas, and walnuts. No wonder, the cake was just delicately sweet rather than the usual too-sweet, sugary taste that we get elsewhere.

MR Lau also shared that Daily Grain uses sunflower oil in his banana cakes, which explains why the cake tasted light and was not greasy at all.

Daily Grain's banana cakes are freshly made right there at the shop everyday. 

The banana cake batter is ready early in the morning.

Into the oven goes the large tray of banana cake batter.

If you want to catch the freshest banana cakes, be at Daily Grain Bakery 每日五谷 at around 8:00am when the freshly baked banana cakes leave the oven. Perfect with morning coffee J.

Daily Grain offers this piece of spongy aromatic banana cake (cut into 6 slices) at RM4. Yes, I ate this all by myself. Easy.

Daily Grain's all natural banana cake made with sunflower oil is a tasty and heart healthy choice. I am sure to pack at least a couple of pieces home whenever I am in the area. Just remember that Daily Grain's banana cakes are best eaten within 2 days as no preservatives are used.

Daily Grain also has a wide range of other goodies on their menu including their popular coffee and multigrain toast which I liked.

Daily Grain Bakery 每日五谷 in Taman Perling, Johor Bahru

Today I stumbled upon a nice, neat little cosy café in Taman Perling called Daily Grain Bakery 每日五谷 J. I always love a little nuttiness in my food and so it was little wonder that I fell in love with Daily Grain Bakery's signature multigrain toast at first bite J.

I also liked Daily Grain's brewed coffee. Aromatic coffee and crunchy, tasty toast - just the perfect pair for the simple, blissful breakfast that would make my day.

Daily Grain's kaya and butter toast made with their own multigrain toast is a lovely blend of salty and sweet with the tender crunchiness of seeds, nuts and raisins.

In goes the dough.

Out comes the hot multigrain toast.

Daily Grain's multigrain toast freshly baked right there at the bakery is choked full of various kinds of seeds and nuts such as flax seeds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds. 

The delicately sweet and nutty slices of toast were enhanced by Daily Grain's fragrant homemade kaya and smooth melted butter. 

When I first dipped my teaspoon into Daily Grain's coffee, I was initially a little disappointed. In JB, I am used to thick dark kopitiam coffee and so the light, clear coffee was something unexpected. Then the distinct coffee aroma made its presence felt, followed by the robust arabica flavour on the lips and taste buds with the first sip. Aww... this is just the perfect blend of coffee to go with Daily Grain's multigrain toast.

The boss MR Lau must have put in a lot of thought and effort to find such a good match between his breads and coffee. Indeed, MR Lau shared with me that his philosophy is "Life is too short to have bad coffee".

Besides the multigrain toast, we had a sumptuous spread of other breads and croissants because my friend wanted to try a little of everything....

The hot selling croissants.

Staple garlic toast.

Cheese and chicken floss on toast.

Daily Grain Bakery is now on my list of favourite breakfast joints. Hmm.. who says yummy breakfasts cannot be healthy...

I love Daily Grain Bakery's multigrain toast so much that I am making it a point to take home a loaf of the nutty sweet bread whenever I am in the area J. Each loaf costs RM7.80, which is reasonable considering the amount of nuts and seeds used, and sans all the preservatives and chemicals.

I'll be back to try other items on Daily Grain's menu and also their famous all natural banana cake.
