Drips Bakery Cafe

Specialist in tarts making, Drips Bakery cafe is one that you should not miss if you like tarts and desserts. Located in Tiong baru where lots of delicious food are available, Drips Bakery cafe offer fantastic tarts and pastries that one can keep on eating. Coupled with aromatic coffees and teas, definitely a must for those who have sweet tooth.

Wide variety of tarts, pastries and cakes to choose from. Weekend special are Lemon Meringue tarts and the bread pudding which are recommended by the shop staff. Mixed berries and strawberries tarts are also popular as well.

Cakes are also available if you find that the tarts and pastries are a bit too sweet for you 

 

Wide space and comfortable environment for chill out with friends and family

Food and drink items available for choosing

Mocha - Nice coffee, what so special about this is that they use a transparent cup which the inner wall is coated with chocolate syrup. It makes me wanted to stir to melt all the chocolate syrup and drink it right after stirring. Well balance between the chocolate and coffee.

Lemon Meringue tart - Well, this is their weekend special tart. The tangy Meringue are homemade while the tart crust is firm enough to withhold the filling. Berries are fresh and juicy. Overall lemon taste is not too sour, but i find it slightly below the normal sourness which i can take. I find this tart acceptable and not too disappointing for a weekend special

Strawberry Tart - I must say that the tart is very striking and attractive to me because of the red from the strawberries and berries. However, look can be deceiving. I find the tart taste abit bland, but i think that is to counter the sweetness of the berries

Verdict: 3.5 / 5

Overall, i find that the tarts are delicious and good. I can have more of it. However, i find that the price is a bit steep for the food and the drinks. It is still a nice place to chill out and have desserts with your friends and family members. What's more, there are plenty of food choice to choose from in this surrounding, just drop by if you have a space for tarts and coffee.

Dining table with chequered table top. This is not for decoration only, its the clever idea of the owner for customers to have a match of checkers or other old school games while waiting for food. This is to make their customers avoid using the handphone all the time. Sit back and enjoy a game or 2, laugh it out instead of looking at your handphone all day. Have a game, loser pay for the bill!! Hahahaha

Rootbeer Float ($8) - Rootbeer with vanilla ice cream

oldies cups

Original Wings ( $4) - Crispy and juicy. BBQ and garlic chilli winglets available too.

Otah Pizza ($22) - The weirdest ingredients you would find in your pizza - ikan bilis, otah and cucumber. Thick chunk of otah, generous toppings of cheese together with thin and crispy crust makes this local flavour pizza exceptionally outstanding. The spiciness is just right and adds on a punch to this savoury pizza. You would not stop with just one slice. Try eating your nasi lemak in pizza style!

Pistachio Crunch ($10) - This unique dessert definitely worth mentioning. Bottom layer of nutty pistachio biscuit base topped with light pistachio mousse. A perfect combination of smooth and crunchy texture hit the spot entirely. Overall not too sweet and the vanilla ice cream blends well with it too. Do not leave Potbellies without tasting this dessert.

Recent visit on 26/4/2014:

Potbellies Deluxe Pizza ($22) -  I like this very much, generous spreading of cheese on the top, hams, onions and mushroom as toppings really spice things here. The pizza is soft and juicy, thin crust is very crispy. recommended for pizza lover

Pork Knuckle ($55) - Gigantic Pork Knuckle with a serving of salad and gratin. This dish is highly recommended by the owner. The pork knuckle is marinated the day before and was cooked slowly in an oven to ensure crispy outer layer. The meat is flavoured but slightly on the salty side, but still taste delicious. Sambal chili and mustard sauce are provided, east and west fusion concept. If this is not enough, you still can dip into the brown sauce which was used to marinate the knuckle. 

Gratin - Come with the pork knuckle, smashed potatoes and bread
