Yup, the dessert house featured today is Sunday, not Sundae. I bumped into this dessert joint quite coincidentally while walking around in the limited shops around in Tin Village Kampar. While majority of this mini shopping complex is appeared to be deserted while EconSave did not help to boost up the image. However, on the other end of the complex appeared more lively where there a few eateries which looks good for a visit, beside Starbuck and Each-a-cup. A few years back, I would be surprised to find Starbuck in Kampar, but looking at the spending power of the students nowadays, it does makes sense to open more higher end shops here. For those who still do not know where to find Sunday, just locate Tin Village behind Petronas petrol station in Bandar Baru Kampar.
From outside, it just look like any other dessert house. Frankly, there are so many of those around serving slightly different types of dessert, ranging from reasonably economical to the high end patiseries. The thing that prompt me to enter is the numbers of durian centred dessert. The environment in this small shop lot is nicely decorated with dry flowers on top of each table to lighten things around. The service, though by student part-timers, is warm. I still need to get use to speaking Mandarin in Kampar.
As I mentioned, the dessert is leaning towards western type, with cheese cake, and cream puff with local delicacies as well, centering on ice based dessert such as cendol and ice kacang. Though the selection is not extensive, but there are few different selection here that are not easily available elsewhere. The fried durian is not cheap, RM4 for one, RM10 for 3, and to be fair, is nothing to shout about. I can easily find similar offering even in night market with the same taste. The outer layer is crispy as expected, but the core felt bit cold. Luckily the durian is tasty and good enough for me to overlook the cold core durian meat. The durian cendol (approx RM6.50) is my selection for the night. The cendol, as expected is frozen, as some of the cendol still yet to be thawed. The taste, luckily is quite good, with the gula melaka getting the limelight. Take a nice durian flesh and put it on top, and we have a nice cendol near to perfection. However, there is one drawback, having durian sweetness on top on the nice cendol is a bit of overkill and after the cendol, I barely could taste the next dessert which became so bland. The mango sago (approx RM6.50) which came next is actually quite nice, if I did not take the cendol first. The mango fruit blend in nicely with the sago, and not too sweet but refreshing enough.
Overall, although I may have so much opinion on their food, it was a quite nice outing, on the contrary. There is space for improvement but then again, the price is fairly reasonable for a dessert house. Not cheap, but fairly reasonable.ratings; 3 poink~!
comments: sunday is the day to chill out before working, similarly, Sunday is the place to chill, despite some drawback. Of course, I gave it a higher rating for the durian dessert... did I mention that there are other durian offerings I have yet to try?
