I venture to Bangsar Shopping Complex quite a lot, but very rarely stop by for a meal there. The beauty of my job is I often have meetings in a restaurant or cafe and that's why we ended up at the new Ben's at Bangsar Shopping Complex (how many are there now? I have lost count). Since it was afternoon tea time, it was only apt to order a couple of desserts to share. My last visit to Ben's at Pavilion was rather disappointing so we didn't even try the desserts. So I wasn't really expecting much.
Lemon Meringue PieI have a weakness for lemon desserts and this would probably one of my fav dessert dishes. Look at the glorious, perfectly done meringue with the beautiful browned top. The lemon curd filling was pretty tangy with perhaps a little bit too much sweetness (I like my lemon desserts very tart, otherwise what's the point right?). The pastry wasn't too memorable, but at least we managed to eat it.
Sticky Date Pudding But to me, this was so much better executed. I do have a soft spot for sticky date pudding because it reminds me so much of Melbourne. The pudding was warm, moist, dense with stickiness of the chopped up dates but not overly sweet, and the butterscotch sauce was crazy delicious and complemented the pudding perfectly. Don't you think this looks like a snowman? So Purely coincidental, of course.
I might not go back to Ben's for their main meals but desserts are ok in my book. The service staff was polite and attentive which is a bonus too.
