Looking for Cake places?

Walking past the famous banana cake shop in JB and you would also find another bakery just right beside it that usually full house on weekends.

Dona Bakehouse is an artisan bakery cafe, serving brunch menu if you able to dine-in here. Otherwise, you can grab some of their pastries back home like me.

Lost of pastries available on shelf display and I have chosen their Pistachio Rose Croissant & Vanilla Fran.

The Pistachio Rose Croissant is overwhelmed with the sweetness pistachio frangipanni and rose syrup in between, topped with crushed pistachio.

As for vanilla fran, it made with homemade pastry cream on croissant tart shell.

The wait is long even after you are seated. Understaffed (that day), even water took a long time to come

Quite crispy if a tad dry and with too much bite, but overall it's decent enough

A very popular place, esp w singaporeans, the Aircon makes people sit V long and so the queue moves extremely slowly. Even on a weekday morning we queued for 15-20mins

Food:
The cheese was a homogeneous slightly clumpy texture, crabstick strips filling tasted like fish balls.

Overall decent enough execution, it's not nearly as bad as I expected

Chilled milky coffee with a delicate floral aroma, a treat for the senses.

Sweet cold milk coffee infused with palm sugar, offering a pleasing treat for both the palate and soul.

This unique croissant filled with sweet raspberry goodness and topped with cream and fresh raspberries left us intrigued. While it was expected to be sweet and tangy, we found it to have a more savoury flavour profile. Nonetheless, the flaky texture made it a tasty treat.

A must-order item, especially if you're a cheese lover! These cheese sticks offer a beautiful cheese pull, with each bite bursting with cheesy goodness. Paired with the tangy tomato-based sauce, it's a heavenly combination.

We had high expectations for this dish, but unfortunately, it fell a bit short. While the coconut-infused butterfly pea rice was fluffy, its taste was rather ordinary and lacked the expected fragrance. The fried chicken, while tender, was a tad greasy. However, the sweet and spicy sambal provided a tasty kick, enhancing the overall experience.

This unique pasta dish immediately caught our eye. The turmeric-based pasta was infused with a rich coconut flavour, delivering a delightful twist. Despite its seemingly mild appearance, the noodles packed quite a spicy punch, coating each strand evenly with the flavourful sauce. The tender and chewy smoked duck added a tastisfying texture to the dish.

Another visit to Nimmies had us trying out more of their offerings. While the food was undeniably good, the prices still left us feeling a bit wary.

Chendol itself was ok, corn as well. The red bean sauce was really good, very flavourful. Bottom is coconut milk shaved ice, quite fine.

Some novelty, the red beans are worth a try since they're so close to the immigration checkpoint

"Indulged in the delightful Durian Chendol, an immensely satisfying treat. The generous durian meat cube exudes a captivating fragrance, complementing perfectly with the Gula Melaka sauce and coconut milk ice. A truly luxurious delight, perfect for sharing with companions!"
