Green tea has dominated the dessert scene for a while now, with nearly every café sporting its own matcha creation. But now it's time for another tea to take the spotlight; it's the Earl Grey's time to shine in KL.
Known for their handmade ice cream and signature waffles, Fluffed’s Big Grey Wolf features a scoop of Earl Grey ice cream atop a charcoal waffle, along with strawberry slices and sprinkles of almond praline. The strawberries give a slight sour tinge that perfectly balances the sweetness of the ice cream.

Earl Grey’s citrusy notes work well to cut through the dessert’s signature richness. Plus, the tangy grapefruit wedges is a brilliant touch: they assert freshness to balance out the sweetness, while adding bite to counter the overall creaminess of the crème brûlée

One of Bake Plan’s signature pastries, the Earl Grey White Chocolate bun has a slight crunch on the outside but is airy and chewy on the inside. There’s a distinctive taste of Earl Grey in every bite, which is also laced with hints of white chocolate. Best enjoyed warm – come around 11am when it’s just fresh out of the oven.
