Souka Bake Shop (SS15)

A lil on the sweet side but it was good if you choose a no sugar Americano or Long Black.

The cakes (RM13) are delicious especially the chocolate - to die for. Recommended!

Speed review: Yes another Souka post! And what's more, it's not cake!! Souka offers some nicely done calamari rings for RM 10. Cripsy on the outside, not overcooked on the inside. Hey it's a little expensive compared to potatoes but the size of the rings are huge! If I could afford it I would eat em up like chips! 😭

A friend has recently been "endorsing" this cake shop called Souka. They don't call themselves a cafe, they call themselves a Bake Shop. But I guess you can call them a cafe. Located in SS 15, same row as Rakuzen, make note to look out for this place when searching because their canopy is the same color as the building and you just might miss it. Not to mention they don't use any fancy signboards. So yes, look out for it.

The place has password protected wifi, ample parking as well as very little people (came here during lunch hour and there were only 2 tables occupied) with a really cozy ambience.

The banana walnut cake (RM 15) was a little more up there in pricing compared to the other cakes and things we ordered such as the hot mocha (RM 11) and also the chocolate mousse tart (RM 10).

The banana walnut cake was basically banana cake (or banana bread as like to call it) with butter cream frosting and salted caramel with walnuts. The banana cake was not too dense and was kicking my face left, right and centre with the banana power for a thousand chimpanzees. The butter cream frosting was pretty tasteless but I wouldn't call it a bad thing because it let the banana taste to come thru but gave the cake a nice creamy texture. The salted caramel blended gave a little saltiness amongst the sweetness of the cake.

The chocolate mousse tart didn't really give me the impression of a tart. The whilped cream (loads of it might I add) and the chocolate mousse (which had the texture of nutella spread) was all soft creamy. And while I've had my fair share of rock hard crusts, this tart crust was so soft it just mushed together with the cream and cream and I got a while mouth full of creaminess and soft mushiness. Basically the tart didn't give any sort of texture contrast at all. The whole thing was soft. Like the soft and gentle heart I am born with. Or like the mushed peas at the side of your steak.

The mocha was a little disappointing. It tasted a little diluted and watery. Is it the milk? The coffee? The chocolate? I don't know. I felt as though I was drinking weirdly bitter water with diluted milk... or like they made the mocha, it wasn't enough to fill the cup and they just added water.

Souka's cakes were good. Some a little more sweet than the others. Their tarts. meh. their mocha. heh. but I heard they serve beef stew and the likes. Wonder if those are any good.

Oh and they have mad clean toilets! USE THEM!
