Personally, I think the freshly baked tarts were really nice and had the traditional flavour found in old bakeries. The fillings are generous and the pastry and tart skin is generally very buttery and crumbly. The boxed ones are less delicious as it is missing the freshly baked flavour of the pastry which I find is quite important for such traditional biscuits. I would recommend anyone who likes traditional Cantonese-styled biscuits and tarts to visit them
If you’re looking for a place to chill out with friends, we can’t recommend this place more. The place is bright and comfortable, with plenty of baked goods and main meals served.
Stopping by for coffee here, old school kopi or cham (tea plus kopi) is a charm, fragrant not just from the drink, but from the nostalgia of this storied biscuit shop. A prime example of how the old can be reinvented for modern times, Fung Wong will hopefully last a long time as having afternoon tea with Chinese pastries is such a lovely change from the usual cake and coffee cafes.
Fung Wong is more than a pretty cafe. We really dig the concept of reinvigorating a traditional establishment for a new generation – with its modernised facade while retaining the standard and quality of traditional recipes.
Personally, the filling wasn’t actually to my liking as I find the veggies were overly wilted hence its slimy texture kind of disintegrated from the melted cheese. Perhaps replacing it with wild mushrooms would be a better choice as these fungi tends to blend in better in a more harmonious way with any toasted cheese. Just my two cents. Nevertheless, the sourdough toastie itself was great!
Food is good but prices at The Crane KL are a little higher than neighbouring establishments, but worth a visit for the experience of being in the historical venue, just to enjoy the beautiful space and drink in the nostalgia.
Rather than to squeeze with the rest of crowded hype cafes in town, I would rather visit a quaint and cozy indie brand for some serenity while enjoying earnest cup of java- and also a slice of sweet won’t really hurt your diet that’s for sure (=
Matcha Black Sesame (MYR 13) It’s definitely an easy decision for any matcha lover, hehe.
From its implicative name, you might already have gotten a good guess that this café does roast its own beans which makes it stands out from its other equally notable peers, whom already in the coffee bean roasting business for quite awhile now. Nevertheless, each technique and roasting style certainly has its own unique charms.
Macadamia Cheesecake (MYR 17) Simply divine especially the fresh crisp of the nuts!
