Foodaholic Tawau: Cakes & Co (Version 2.0)

I usually just update whatever new info that I have on the places that I’ve been to before on the original posts but this is one of those times where I think merited a new post altogether (by the way, you guys can click HERE for said previous post). The charming blue-ish looking café has actually moved to a different location but not too far off from their previous one. They’re now on the 2^nd floor of the Kubota Sentral area and yes, it’s definitely a challenge for those who may have leg/foot/knee (or just stamina, like moi) problems. But it was worth it seeing that they have added some new things onto their existing menu and not to mention the growing selections of cakes and cookies. Me and my partner had dined in twice and have tried out their Nasi Goreng Cina (with Ayam Pandan) and Nasi Ayam Masak Thai and both were commendable. But I do admit that I was mainly there for their desserts and were very satisfied with their Chocolate Walnut Pie and savoury Blackpepper Chicken Pie. I was however rather disappointed with their Nutella Chocolate cake as I can hardly taste the ‘nutella’ part. It tasted more like a cream cake (but a yummy cream cakes no less). And I initially thought that I have read the Browkies Cheesecake name wrongly the first time I’d order it but it turns out that it was a creative combination of the ‘brownies+cookies+cheesecake’. Since I’m not exactly a cheesecake fan (as my partner had originally ordered it for himself) I would say that it was okay, but with the cheesecake part being slightly overpowering than the other two sections.

Oh and on a side note, they do provide a playroom of sorts for customers with small children so the parents can also enjoy their meal while the children are kept busy nearby.
