It amuses me to see how this formerly QCC Baked Tawau franchise (located at Wisma Kasihfy, Jalan Masjid, right behind the Marco Polo Hotel) has started with the brand but has slowly but surely inserted their own brand of baked goods along the way and finally replacing the original with their own stuff completely. Heck, the only thing that is left of the original QCC now are their signature nugget cookies, which were displayed at the lonely far end corner of the shop that unfortunately still (somewhat) uses the franchise's name (but in a more 'small letters' kind of way). It's actually both smart and sad, since I'm more of a QCC fan rather than their current branding. Oh well, guess I have to go to KK again to sample some authentic QCC baked goods, particularly their tarts. Sigh..
But nevetheless, we did tried their version of QCC tarts (at the early stages of the franchise's opening) and some of their own stuff, particularly their Minimalist Cakes set, Dubai Kunafa Slice, Cake in bowl, Nutella Burnt Cheesecake (for the recent Mother's Day) and Pistachios Cheese Cake. Personally I would say that other than the latter (which was just nice by the way), everything else were overly sweet. Like 'potong kaki punya sweet' type of cakes. But they were quite generous with their portioning so I guess something positive came out of it after all. Plus, locals seems to prefer their current baked goods and pastries better so I admit that I'm in the small minority that preferred otherwise.
** Current status - Still in operation (as of May 2025)
