Why it is our number one: We recommend Plump for those who prioritize indulgence over elegance. Go for the Messy Cake if you want a dense, borderline-gooey chocolate experience that is unashamedly rich and unapologetically untidy.

Where people do not agree: A little expensive but worth it; The Lemon Curd Victoria is tangy and creamy but might feel borderline gooey
It looks like a cake and when you eat it, it's almost borderline gooey. It's indulgent. It's messy. That might possibly be one of the best cakes I've had in KL.

It has always been my go to place for almond sugee cake as I can’t find any other places that sells this kind of dessert.
People post about these places plenty. What they post about is not dessert, so they are not ranked above, and we would rather say that than pad the list.
