Looking for Bread Pastry Cake places?

Toast over here are served in two variations, wholemeal or white bread and here’s what I thought of each.

This wholemeal version is a great option if you’re seeking for a fiber-rich alternative. However, the wholemeal toast diminishes the crispiness as compared to the usual white toast. The kaya was generous and had a rich, fragrant sweetness that compliments the butter, adding a creamy richness that rounds out every bite.

In contrast, the white crispy peanut kaya butter toast unapologetically embraces its decadence. The white bread toasts up to a golden perfection, delivering a delightful crunch that resonates with every bite. This crispness forms the perfect canvas for the kaya and salted peanut combination, blending textures in a way that’s immensely satisfying.

While their mee siam scored well, this plate of mee rebus somehow lost much of its comforting appeal. The flavour profile seemed muted and the boldness that typically defines mee rebus wasn’t present. The gravy which should be the heart of this dish was far too watery and lacked the thick, rich consistency that typically makes mee rebus so comforting. A thicker and more flavourful gravy could have made it more memorable 》RM8.50

This Mee Siam with Rendang Chicken is a marriage of bold flavours and satisfying textures. The highlight of this dish is undeniably the rendang chicken. Tender and richly marinated, the chicken is coated in a thick, velvety sauce that exudes deep, aromatic notes of lemongrass, coconut, and slow-cooked spices. Each bite is a burst of umami and warmth that creates a perfect harmony of flavours. The sambal on the side is perfect for spice lovers looking to amplify the dish's flavours 》RM15.50

This dry version mee siam retains all the signature elements of classic mee siam but introduces a unique, less saucy approach. Topped with two slabs of otah, a perfectly fried egg with a runny yolk, wedge of lime for extra zest, and a side of sambal. The portion size is generous, making it a hearty breakfast that doesn’t compromise on flavour 》RM12.50

Walking past the famous banana cake shop in JB and you would also find another bakery just right beside it that usually full house on weekends.

Dona Bakehouse is an artisan bakery cafe, serving brunch menu if you able to dine-in here. Otherwise, you can grab some of their pastries back home like me.

Lost of pastries available on shelf display and I have chosen their Pistachio Rose Croissant & Vanilla Fran.

The Pistachio Rose Croissant is overwhelmed with the sweetness pistachio frangipanni and rose syrup in between, topped with crushed pistachio.

As for vanilla fran, it made with homemade pastry cream on croissant tart shell.

The wait is long even after you are seated. Understaffed (that day), even water took a long time to come

Quite crispy if a tad dry and with too much bite, but overall it's decent enough

A very popular place, esp w singaporeans, the Aircon makes people sit V long and so the queue moves extremely slowly. Even on a weekday morning we queued for 15-20mins

Food:
The cheese was a homogeneous slightly clumpy texture, crabstick strips filling tasted like fish balls.

Overall decent enough execution, it's not nearly as bad as I expected

(RM 11.90) Finally tried their matcha red bean crossiant as I tried their kaya crossiant previously. The matcha taste quite weird tbh but sauce texture was quite thick, milky and creamy. But the red bean filling is not much and just a mini scoop of it only :") The croissant texture was quite flaky, crispy and crunchy after reheating 5 mins around 150 degree celsius.

Idk what's the reverse part honestly but this was pretty dainty. The crumbly crust was good and the lemon flavour was well balanced. There's also a bitter cream in the middle which worked well in tandem w everything else

Overall a good piece, abit ex. Don't come an hour before they close cos they don't have many things left by then

Chilled milky coffee with a delicate floral aroma, a treat for the senses.
