Hark! The hungry angels sing, "Glory to the new cafe!"
After more than a decade of widening the waistlines of cake addicts across the Klang Valley, Just Heavenly now has its own full-fledged eatery, serving cool salads and hot snacks. If there's true justice in the gastronomic world, a thousand slices of this cinnamon-toasted sourdough, topped richly with ripe bananas, nutella, hazelnuts and an orange reduction, will be ordered and enjoyed before 2012 is over.
Heavenly gives deviled eggs their due, partnering them with watercress in this super-sandwich. Culinary comfort can't get creamier than buttered croissants spilling over with mayo egg salad, gently spiced with mustard, cayenne and paprika.
Crab-and-egg tart, flavored with kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass. The filling seems mushier than expected, but that complaint's a matter of personal preference.
Heavenly has a well-earned reputation as a bane for weight-watchers, but they won't need to run like hell from this cafe, thanks to offerings like a tangy organic quinoa tabouleh, tossed with roasted Mediterranean veggies, red onions and Greek yogurt.
:Let them eat pie! Patrons will be pleased that Heavenly's prices are righteous: this pastry-crusted Wagyu beef stew, complemented by a mash of potatoes, peas and gravy, is the menu's costliest item, but it still falls short of RM30 even after taxes.
Dieting saints will discover an all-day-breakfast menu here that won't deliver them into temptation.
From macadamia muesli with cranberries and raisins to fruit-filled bowls of red dragon fruit, papaya, honeydew, strawberries and watermelon, there's enough vitamins, antioxidants and fiber in these recipes to counter the countless calories of the cakes (they're coming!).
Greek yogurt with honey and toasted almonds. At RM7++, the cheapest order here.
In the end, Heavenly encourages some sinning. All of Allan and Nigel's signature cakes are present, from Death by Chocolate to Choking on Choc & Cheese and Punishment by Peach (OK, OK, we made the last two names up).
The road to Heavenly is paved with peanut butter and red velvet cupcakes, ensuring our teeth will be less than pearly-white by the time we reach the Pearly Gates.
Coffee, tea and sparkling water, all very virtuous; Heavenly is promising to change some of the water on its menu into wine eventually.
Just Heavenly Cafe,

haha, i would have expected no less...(from you, that is, that you'd be the first to blog about this place).
ReplyDeleteFBB: can i add that i didn't expect you to be the first to comment on this post? heheh (but a pleasant surprise) :D
DeleteI agree FBB! I would have expected no less of Sean.. LOL...
DeleteOh, and GO CUZ!!! Well done just heavenly.. on yet another fantastic outlet :)
Ciki: crossing fingers for more Just Heavenly Cafes to sprout up in many more shopping malls in KL! :D
DeleteIm the second then..
ReplyDelete? Greek yogust? What's so different? Or only the name? Lol
I can see egg n peanut butter spread all over your blog..
Cindy: ooooh, hmmm, greek yogurt is generally creamier than regular yogurt and not as sweet =) heh, i have a soft spot for eggs. peanut butter, not so much, but many of my friends enjoy peanut butter very much :D
Deleteme likey peanut butter tooo...
DeleteCindy: fans of peanut butter can form a very big club =)
DeleteThat's quite a healthy menu:D
ReplyDeleteLet's have everything healthy so the lovely cakes and desserts don't expand our waistline. Possible? Hehehe.
Missyblurkit: oh yeah, it's not a very wide menu, but it feels very well thought-out, with carefully chosen recipes =) heh, I wish i could resist the sweet treats here, but I guess it requires a lot of discipline to leave this cafe without having at least a bite of cake :D
DeleteHAHAHA i love the made up names!!!! Aren't croissant sandwiches the best??? Especially when they're toasted and stuffed with creamy filling ORRRR a simple ham & cheese!!! :D
ReplyDeleteVien: thanks! :D you're so right, there's something about croissants that sliced bread can't replicate. must be the butteriness! =)
DeleteIt's good to have standalone cafe for patrons like me who wants to eat their cakes instantly rather than take back home (oh... the agony!). Hehe.
ReplyDeleteChong: hahah, but patience is a virtue! i know what you mean though, i often wanna gobble up everything on the spot too :D
DeleteWaiting for them to open, now can go! Yay! :D
ReplyDeleteCK: ooh, go this weekend, since it's a three-day holiday! :D
DeleteThis looks promising, if only they opened in Bangsar Village instead! Hint hint hint.
ReplyDeleteFootfringe: hahah, not a very subtle hint at all! but cross fingers :D
DeleteCrab and egg in a tart?? What a combination! Perhaps a rival to the great Portugese egg tart? :D
ReplyDeleteDrops Of Contentment: in theory, it sounds like an amazing combo, ya! i think it needs a bit more fine-tuning, but maybe other customers will love it :D
DeleteI'm in love with their cakes. Especially 'Death by Choc'...
ReplyDeleteuhh..I'm so dead~~~~
Melissa: heheh, but at least you can die happy! :D
Deletethe desserts looked so yummy. A nice place for tea time.
ReplyDeleteEiling: oh yeah, ladies who lunch and ladies who love high tea will definitely come here! :D
DeleteLooks like a good selection, healthy items too! That wagyu pie looks so tempting!
ReplyDeletePureglutton: it's a nice pie (my friend happily ate the entire crust!) :D and ya, one of their philosophies here seems to be about lighter meals that won't leave customers feeling bloated :D
DeleteHahaha for a min I thought there really was a cake called Choking on Choc & Cheese LOL!!
ReplyDeleteBaby Sumo: heheh, i wonder whether a cake with that name would attract customers or scare them away! :D
DeleteCan see that the food is prepared with much love. Shall be paying the FBB's soon (fabulous baker boys) ;)
ReplyDeleteUnka: heheh, i was thankful that the FBBs were at the cafe when i went there. managed to have a very pleasant chat with both of them, it was great seeing them again after so long =)
DeleteI definitively want to try the crab egg tart...
ReplyDeletebut I don't like the lemongrass..
Simple Person: oh ya, i also don't really like lemongrass. though it does bring a bit of "asianness" to this recipe :D
DeleteJust heavenly.. didnt know they have main meals! Btw, everything looks fanta-bulous!! ;D
ReplyDeleteEunice: oh yeah, only their cafe here at BSC has savory dishes (their other kiosks in jaya one, etc don't). they put quite a lot of thought into the food! :D
Delete"The road to Heavenly is paved with peanut butter and red velvet cupcakes, ensuring our teeth will be less than pearly-white by the time we reach the Pearly Gates"

TNG: heh, thanks :D i must remember to brush my teeth my carefully =)
DeleteI'm hooked by the first pic. I would like some of that toast with banana right now.. please? :-)
