Welcome to Klang. Where the old buildings and old school interiors contrast strongly with the high rise buildings we see everyday in KL and Subang. Nonetheless, it is famous for its good food (namely Bak Kut Teh). Ask any Klang person and they will tell you this must try apple strudel from Fruity Bakery.

Sporting an old school interior which brings me back to days of Berry's cakes when I was a kid, Fruity Bakery has a old school feeling that I'm sure the millenials are having a hard time appreciating.

The Apple Strudel (price: unable to recall) does not seem like the typical apple strudel I am used to. What I am used to is a foot long apple strudel in puff pastry filled to the brim with apple filling. This one was small. Cupcake sized almost. But what caught me was the incredibly flakey, cripsy, puffy puff pastry it sported. Inside of this pastry was fresh cream and the bottom lined with apple filling. The combination gives you crunch, cool cream, sweet tangy apple, and crunch again.

Now imagine this while reading: you put that flakey strudel between your fingers, it is so crispy and flakey that with even the slightest extra amount of pressure you know the outer layer will break. As you bite down on the strudel, you hear, first a crisping sound as the pastry breaks. Your teeth then sinks in further and your mouth is filled with cool, fresh cream. Continuing on you catch the sweetness of the apples, muted and balanced by the cream. And then once again, you heard a crunching sound as you bite through the last piece of pastry at the bottom.

And you wonder why this is a must try.
