✨ I would definitely re-visit for the cake selection. Alexis definitely lives up to its reputation of having the best pavlova in town. ⁣

💬 I can’t say much of their meal offerings because I didn’t try any.⁣

This thin crust pizza is just perfect.

The crunchy, thin crust with the mushroom and tomato paste was awesome. Wish they gave more feta cheese. 😔

Pair this with wine, even better. Alexis is famous for their pizza, so no surprise that its good.

This cost RM41.

I forgot what this is. Well at least I only forgot the name. So in a nutshell it's a tiramisu with cognac (RM 18.90 if memory serves me right) with caramelized nuts on top. I can't say much since I'm momentarily stunned by this new texture if tiramisu. It's not bad (come on, it's alcohol!), it's good (read: alcohol), but I'm just trying to wrap my head around this texture. The cake isn't your typical sponge cake, it has much more air in them and feels like steamed cakes almost. The marscapone cheese is also, not overly dense like most tiramisu, but instead which rich in flavor is light in texture. And of course you have the nuts. Crunchy and giving a hint of sweetness to the entire alcohol-induced-cheese-complementing slice, pair it with the slightly tangy strawberry jam by the side and you'll be experiencing how the whole thing comes together quite nicely.

It's really creamy and sinful piece of cake. If you are on a strict diet, pls avoid this cake. Stick to tiramisu pls.

Personally, the sweetness of the almond praline actually overpowered the entire cake and I can't really taste any coffee flavored in it as it's suppose to be a tiramisu cake. Ended the day disappointed. Doesn't live up to it's appearance. 😞 ☕️❔
