Yes, the name of the cafe is called Morning Wood. Yes I think Reuben Kang was trying to be funny.
MorningWood has been open for approximately more than a month now, previously to occupy the space was the all famous FlatWhite but I guess seeing the success of it, a local Youtube Star and a few others decided to buy over the place, give it a funny name and make it their own. I've heard the barista is the same as the previous one (maybe that's why people say the coffee's still good) but I'm not a coffee drinker so...
Menu for the day:
Red Velvet (RM 11.00)
Frozen Cheesecake: Peach (RM 11.00)
These were apparently their 2 bestsellers. The red velvet was the best seller until the salted caramel cookie cake came. And the frozen cheesecakes were apparently also a favourite amongst many tho what flavour exactly was the best seller is not known.
The red velvet cake was the dream of a sweet tooth. It was dense, moist, balance of butter cream frosting and butter cake ratio. The most important thing of all was that it was sweet and significantly so. Good to be washed down with a cup of flat white, latte or cuppa, but not a Mocha. The mocha there is more on the sweet side and choclate-y those who prefer a more bitter mocha might not agree with it and call it too sweet. The slice was pretty big, enough to feed me and 2 more men. Then again? The men weren't fan of sweets.
The frozen cheesecakes got me as confused as my form 4 add maths problems. Apparently, these cakes are frozen and chucked into the microwave for 5 seconds before serving it to you. Make no mistake though, upon serving the thing was still rock hard. To get it soft you'll need to wait for it to thaw. But honestly, anyone who has frozen anything cream related can tell you it's a bad idea. The water molecules of the cheesecake got all messed up with water coming out from the cake and it look it was sweating. Just imagine getting custard cream out from the refrigerator and leaving it out with a lid over it. Condensation and custard is what you'll get. And water and cheese is what you'll get with this.
They apparently serve mains, but that will be for another day. Operation is until 12.00 a.m. but kitchen closes earlier.
Morning wood... imagine all the jokes. Seriously
