We’ve rounded up five spots for your next tiramisu fix

Did you know? Tiramisu is one of the top five most recognised Italian words in the world—and for good reason. Made with luscious coffee-soaked ladyfingers stacked upon silky layers of mascarpone cream and finished with a delicate sprinkle of cocoa powder, the dessert is hard to resist.

The Italian word translates into “pick me up,” which is apt given its light caffeine kick. From Alexis Bistro’s renowned tiramisu cake to Gooddam’s classic rendition of the dessert, we’ve rounded up five spots in the Klang Valley for your next tiramisu fix.

Alexis Bistro

Having been on the menu for over a decade, the tiramisu cake at Alexis Bistro is nostalgic to say the least. Served with a drizzle of strawberry sauce and topped with caramelised nuts, the decadent dessert pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee. Whole cakes are also a Malaysian favourite for special occasions.
