Afternoon tea @ Alexis in Bangsar (Bangsar Village)
When it comes to cakes, Alexis would be one my favorite places for exquisite cakes. After a delicious meal at Delicious, we headed to Alexis for their signature cakes. We ordered 4 slices of cakes in total and also a pot of tea each. It was indeed a relaxing and fulfilling afternoon.
The wide selection of cakes available at Alexis!
Interior Deco :) Mayb it's good to have on at the main door of the house, where visitors can write down blessings for the inhabitants. :p
Cafe Latte - perfect combination with the cakes!
English Breakfast
Chamomile tea
Cheesecake - look at the dense layer of cream cheese!!!!
Raspberry cheesecake I think i prefer the original cheesecake as the sweet raspberry jam stole some of the cream cheese's limelight. As you can see, I am a die hard pure cheesecake fan (with the exception for blueberry cheesecakes, I'm a sucker for anything that's got to do with blueberries)
Tiramisu. Oh this is pure bliss, though if given the choice I would prefer the alcoholic one (served in a cup) where it comes dripping with Tia Maria/Kahlua/whatever.
Chocolate - for the ultimate chocolate lovers Check out the thick chocolate sponge layer!

Malaysian Cendol and Italian Tiramisu - All in one place
One of my good Aussie friend came over to Malaysia for a visit and as a local, I felt obliged to bring her to all the good places Malaysia has to offer. However, it was sad that we had a constraint - time. So, I suggested that she make a one-stop at Mid-Valley the well known food/shopping haven. After indulging in the local delicacies at Madam Kwan's, she had a wonderful time exploring and getting lost in the spacious shopping walkways of Mid-Valley and Gardens, or at least I hope she did.
Met up with her in the evening and as she was still full from lunch, I took her on a dessert tour, stopping at Nyonya Colors for the famous Teh Tarik (Pulled Tea). We asked for 'kurang manis' (lesser sugar) and was very happy that it was really 'kurang'! :)
Next up, I introduced her to Malaysian Cendol served by the dessert stall at Garden's food court. This stall has never disappointed me with the large portion.
We capped off the night with a heavenly slice of Tiramisu from Alexis. Alexis had the perfect setting for two girls who were dying to catch up with each other, who needed a place that was quiet enough for us to not shout when speaking to each other, but allowing us to giggle, laugh and squeal. LoL.
Tiramisu Cotton soft sponge cake topped with crunchy nuts. The strawberry sauce definitely took the cake enjoyment to the next level =) Having said this, I still prefer non-spongy tiramisu but this attempt by Alexis certainly deserves a thumbs-up
Loving how the cakes melt in my mouth at Alexis - Bangsar
My caloric consumption was way over my pre-set quota to make way for a birthday celebration. After having a sumptuous lunch at MG Cafe, we decided to head over to Alexis to indulge in its famous melt-in-the-mouth cakes. Indeed we were not disappointed.
Blueberry Cheesecake - RM15 I'm a big fan of cheesecakes, and this blueberry cheesecake was definitely a very good attempt. One thing I like about this cake is that it isn't very sweet, unlike most cheesecakes in Malaysia's sweet-toothed market, although one of my friends did comment that he preferred the cheesecakes from Secret Recipe better.
Pavlova - RM 15 I personally do not like meringue cakes so I can't comment on this. Nevertheless, the fresh blueberries served on this cake makes me miss Aussie blueberries more than ever.
Tiramisu - RM15 a very good attempt by Alexis but definitely no where near the standard I now have for Tiramisu thanks to my Italian cousin Vivian who makes the BEST tiramisu I've ever tasted. Mostly because I do not like spongy cakes (Alexis' tiramisu is spongy). My cousin's tiramisu is mostly typically dripping wet with upscale quality Italian coffee and liquor which adds a intense kick toward the Tiramisu texture.Lemon Tea (hot)
Cafe Latte - RM10 Very happy with this as it closely matches the standards of most cafes in Australia.
