Gula Apong Desserts at Oh Apong Cafe

Hey buddies!

Have you heard of gula apong before? Well, gula apong is actually a kind of sweet substance produced from the sap of nipah palm tree commonly found in Sarawak. Taste-wise, gula apong is less sweet compared to refined sugar with hints of salted caramel flavour, and is high in minerals and vitamins.

I learned about this from a cafe I recently visited called 𝗢𝗵 𝗔𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗳𝗲 in Emporis, Kota Damansara.

I’ve had a great dining experience there. The ambience was cozy and relaxing with soothing deco and interior. 💯% insta-worthy.

I was introduced to their must-try item, the 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗴 soft serve ice-cream, which was really delicious – rich but not too sweet, with a smooth consistency and creamy texture, topped with crunchy bits of coconut flakes.

For pastry, I had a 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝘂 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲. This is the bomb! Crunchy and flaky puff pastry with moist dark chocolate filling in the centre. Every bite feels like heaven. Yes! Approved by yours truly, a hardcore fan of chocolate! 🤤

Another pastry which I strongly recommend is the 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝗢𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗶. It’s got creamy custard on the inside, with crunchy burnt sugar on the outside. Full of surprises, this is definitely a must-try!

I also had a cup of 𝗜𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲 to chill with, perfect for my coffee break! 😁 I like the aroma and taste very much. Perfect combination of milk and espresso, mixed with melted gula apong to taste.
