Wimbly Lu Chocolate Cafe - Jalan Riang

Wimbly Lu, Many get excited when they hear this name and I used to be one of them, Used to.
I head over to Wimbly Lu one evening with some of my friends to check this place out and I and to find out just what is the hype around here.


We Started with the famous Root Beer Cake, I was really looking forward to this and I was a tad disappointed with it. I was expecting the root beer flavor to burst out in my mouth but I only tasted a tint of root beer flavor and a little bit of the gassy-ness of real root beer when I paired the cake with the vanilla ice cream. It was really unique though.
Root Beer Cake - $6+


Here's something I saw from The Chosen Glutton's Blogpost on Wimbly Lu that I think I should try, It's the Hazelnut Butterscotch Bar. The fragrant Caramel and Hazelnut pairing is heavenly and i dare say it's a MUST-TRY! 
Hazelnut Butterscotch Bar $4.50+

I love Tiramisu and It's almost a must order whenever I see it on the Menu, and it's no exception at Wimbly Lu. Their version lacks punch but it's enough to satisfy my craving.


Buttermilk Waffles and Lava Cake, these 2 are the most popular items in anyone's dessert list, even mine. I've heard quite a few raves about Wimbly Lu's Waffle and I had to try it for myself. It is light and airy and I love the fragrance of the batter and crispy outer layer, Mmmmm.

The Chocolate Lava Cake on the other hand, Warm and Moist, Oozing with chocolate lava beneath the crunchy top, It is a delight to devour it alone, advised not to be shared.



Molten Lava Cake - $6+

So Come On, Take a Trip down to Wimbly Lu to try out the many different chocolate creations available! :)
p.s: You can visit The Cajun King next door first before heading over to Wimbly Lu, But you can make a reservation 2 hours before your visit to Wimbly Lu to secure a seat. :)

The Cajun King - Your Cutlery is your Hands Concept

Located Just Beside the Famous Wimbly Lu Cafe, The Cajun King did not catch my eye at first when I headed over to Wimbly Lu for desserts, But as I exited, I could not help but peep through its glass doors to see what was this shop about. Naming themselves The Cajun King, should they be really good with their Cajun Dishes like the more common Cajun Chicken and Cajun Fries, But I was wrong. They serve up pretty well Seafood in A Bag, Yes, you did not read it wrongly, It's SEAFOOD IN A BAG.

I like the feeling of the interior, Cosy warm lights and wooden tables gives me a feeling that I have stepped into a Seafood Shack located near the coastal sides. I always had a bias to Chalkboard Menus, or Chalkboard art although half the time I try really hard to decipher what's written on them. lol.

It was a Full House and I got the Table Top / Bar Top seat, near to the kitchen. Each Customer is given a plastic bib with their Logo printed on it, to prevent all the juices from the fresh seafood from getting on to our clothes. And "weapons" like wooden hammers would be provided to customers who are having Crabs.


Simple Menu which has both sides to it. Me and my companions decided on the TCK Combo - $65
 and it included a Cajun Fries and we chose Green Lip Mussels, with Butter Garlic Sauce. 

The Cajun Fries were flavourful on its own and the dip was surprisingly refreshing to my taste bud as it had a citrusy taste to it which I really enjoy.


Hightlight of the table, The TCK COMBO that of course came in not 1 but 2 thick Plastic Bag, holding all the yummy seafood, sausages and Corn and the aromatic Butter Garlic swept me off my feet the moment it landed on my table. We were given a huge piece of Wax paper to line our table, so just in case we wanted to pour out the contents of the bag on the table and feast, we could.

Each piece of seafood was a delight and I finished off most of the prawns as my companions finished off the corn and Mussels. I took a bite of the corn and it was really sweet, and fully infused with the garlic butter sauce which left me regretting why I did not like corn from the beginning of time in my life. lol.

I would definitely recommend The Cajun King to everyone who loves Seafood and would love to dine in a cosy environment where everyone can enjoy good seafood and have a little beer, and maybe hop over next door for some really good waffle with maple syrup to end up the dinner with a sweet touch.




With Love, M

1.French Vanilla Latte - $6.90 Sweetness of the Vanilla infused with just the right amount of Caffine, making it a crowd favourite.

C: Fried Mushrooms


CHEESE FRIES - $7.90
Not Enough Cheese in my opinion la, But Still Enjoyable. :)


Swan River Chick - $13.90
You would have guessed that This dish is just a roasted Chicken Thigh and the sauce is Black Pepperish Sauce Right? WRONG! Well you are Half Right. The Sauce is a special homemade sauce from MadJack that is Sure to set this dish aside from other Roasted Chicken. 


Grilled Barramundi - $19.90
Hmm, What Do I say, It is a choice for "fish over chicken anytime" people. 



Spaghetti with Sambal Seafood - $11.90
While Pasta is not their Niche, Mad Jack Serves Up a Very Local Tasting Pasta Dish, Incorporating Sambal Flavours into the pasta, But Making it taste like Chilli Crab without the Omph Spiciness. The Seafood included in this pasta is Fresh and not Stingy at all.

Point to note when ordering, please make sure that you inform the service staff of the done-ness of the lamb.


Wild Boy Banana Crumble - $5.90

Banana Craze - $6.90
What else can I say? It's 1 HUGE Fried Banana with 2 Scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream Drizzled with Chocolate Sauce. It is one of the better Goreng Pisang I have had recently.


Pavlova - $6.90
I have fallen in love with this chewy crunchy textured Australian Dessert. Topped with Fresh Fruits and Chocolate Sauce Scribblings at the side, It is the 1 dessert that I crave for MORE! But please do be concious that it has a high sugar content! ^o^


Apple Pie
Nothing to shout about their Apple Pie, Although I love the Crumbly Top.


Chocolate Lava Cake 
Oozing Warm Chocolate Lava, The Soft & almost Chewy Cake goes really well with everything on the plate. Made with Preimum Chocolate and Special Homemade Cake Recipe, This Cake is something we all can Enjoy and feel guilty later. Haha.


Over All, My Experience with MADJACK Cafe has been a pleasant one. 
Craving for more for some of the items on the menu, I can't wait to go back!
Hope you will enjoy your dining experience there as much as I did. :)
