Le Taste, SS2 Petaling Jaya

Le Taste has lovable taste in comfort fare and cakes: For fans of salted egg yolk, dig into a double dose of decadence with the cafe’s salted egg macaroni, rounded out with a runny yolk for extra egginess, plus anchovies for crunch and curry leaves for light spice (RM16), followed by a house-baked salted egg custard cake with Gula Melaka chiffon and whipped cream (RM13) for a savoury-sweet indulgence that’s nonetheless not too heavy.

If you favour playful pleasures, fall in porcine lust with the baked avocado, as richly textured as homemade guacamole, robustly packed with bacon (RM15), then feel the cheesy-chocolate love with the Milo Dinosaur cheesecake, smoothly and lusciously bringing cream cheese together with Malaysia’s favourite malted beverage for a childhood-evoking treat that might make you feel instantly two decades younger (RM13).

Plenty of other protein-and-carb pairings beckon temptingly on the menu, from Asian-spiced beef stew on mashed potatoes to a Taiwanese lu rou fan braised pork rice bowl, all sounding like perfect pick-me-ups after a long, difficult day.
