Mont Kiara Cake Shop: Order Cakes via GrabFood

Three cake shops sit within the Jalan Kiara corridor: one inside Mont Kiara Shoplex and two at 163 Retail Park. Each takes a different approach to the menu, from flourless chocolate slices to multi-layer savoury-sweet lapis cakes to French-inspired baked goods.

Tucked into the lower ground floor of Mont Kiara Shoplex, Jaslyn Cakes is a slice-forward cake counter with a menu that leans into both comfort and craft. The Lemon Curd Cake (Slice) and Coconut & Raspberry Cake (Slice) show off a range that balances bright, tangy notes with tropical warmth, while the Chocolate Mousse Cake Slice (Flourless) is a solid pick for anyone avoiding wheat without wanting to compromise on indulgence. Pandan lovers are well served here too, both the Pandan Chiffon Cake (Slice) and Pandan Coconut Cake (Slice) make an appearance, and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake (Slice) rounds things out for those who want something a little more decadent.

Layered cake is the quiet star at Lavender Bakery inside 163 Retail Park, where the Cake Lapis comes in multiple formats, a generous 7" x 7" slab, a Bar, and even a Box of 10 slices, making it just as suited to a solo craving as it is to sharing with a crowd. Beyond the Cake Lapis, the Basque Cheese Cake and Blueberry Yogurt Cake fill out a menu with something for those who prefer their sweets a little lighter and creamier. The Banana Cake Bar is another option worth noting for anyone after a more casual, everyday treat.

Lisette's at 163 Retail Park has built a menu around cakes that feel considered rather than generic. The Coffee Burnt Cheese Cake With Salted Mascarpone is a standout for those who like their desserts with a savoury edge, while the Lemon Druizzle Cake and Apple Crumble Cake lean into that homestyle warmth that holds up well any time of day. For something more dramatic, the Black Forest Cake and the AVOCADO BANANA BURNT CHEESE CAKE show that the kitchen is happy to push in more unexpected directions. The Coffee Walnut Cake and Carrot Cake round out a selection that covers both the classic and the creative.

Villaju Bakery on Jalan Solaris 4 brings a Korean-inflected sensibility to its baked goods, which sets it apart from most cake counters in the Mont Kiara area. The B44. Butter Rice Cake (버터떡) is a good entry point into the menu's softer, chewier side, while the C1-1. Mocha Cake 1 and C1-10. Blueberry Loaded Cake 1 cater to those after something more conventionally layered and frosted. The B35. Sponge Cup Cake and B33. Cream Sponge Cake round out the selection for anyone who prefers something lighter, and the B12. White Steam Rice Cake underlines that this bakery is drawing from a wider tradition than the usual Western-style patisserie.

Restaurant Jin Xuan Hong Kong in Desa Sri Hartamas is a dim sum destination where the savoury cake options are a reason to linger. The 202. Fried Turnip Cake （炒萝卜糕） and 208. Deep Fried Turnip Cake (煎萝卜糕） offer two distinct takes on a dim sum classic, one stir-fried and one crisped up in the pan, while the 119. Mah Lai Koh (Steamed Cake) (马来糕） provides a steamed, pillowy counterpoint for those who want something sweeter to finish the meal.

Traditional Chinese steamed cakes are a quietly nostalgic corner of the dessert world, and Kwan Kee Store 坤记糕品 at Publika Shopping Gallery brings that tradition to the Solaris Dutamas crowd. The menu centres on classic Cantonese-style kuih, with floral and botanical flavours taking the lead, the Osmanthus Cake 桂花糕 and Chrysanthemum Cake 菊花马蹄糕 are gentle, fragrant options, while the Roselle Cake 洛神花陈皮糕 adds a tartly herbal note to the lineup. For something a little more indulgent, the Longan Sugar Cane Cake 龙眼竹蔗马蹄糕 brings a naturally sweet depth, and the mini bowl cake range, spanning Brown Sugar, White Sugar 白糖碗仔糕, Sweet Corn, and Yam Purple Sweet Potato 芋头紫薯碗仔糕 varieties, makes for a fun way to sample a few flavours at once.

Ilmyra Bakery at Residensi Sungai Udang covers a lot of ground for a neighbourhood bakery, with a menu that stretches from everyday bakes to more celebratory centrepieces. The Birthday Cake 6 Inch (Biscoff) and the Callebaut Choc Cake Kunafa Pistachio hint at a kitchen that keeps up with current dessert trends, while the Bouquet Cake (Random Colour & Free Wish Card) is clearly geared toward gifting. Those after something more casual will find the Carrot Cake, Choc Moist Cake, and Burntcheese Cake Tiramisu sitting alongside the Cake In Bowl and the Bento Cake (Random Design & Choc Sponge Cake Only), a solid spread for both everyday and occasion orders.

Fantaxy Bakery on Jalan 3/62a in Bandar Menjalara keeps things grounded with a menu built around fruit cakes and butter-forward classics. The Almond Mix Fruit Cake is available in both 4-inch and 6-inch whole cakes as well as by the slice, giving plenty of flexibility depending on how many people are sharing. The Belgium Chocolate Cake (6 Inch) and Belgium Chocolate Slice Cake cater to those on the richer end of the spectrum, while the Butter Cake and Assorted Fruit Cake (6 Inch) round out a selection that feels reliably old-school, the kind of neighbourhood bakery that does the fundamentals well.

Eden Dim Sum City in Bandar Sri Menjalara is a dim sum house where the radish cake options alone make for a compelling argument. The C8. Pan Fried Radish Cake 香脆萝卜糕 and D3. Stir Fried Radish Cake with XO Sauce XO酱炒萝卜糕 are two very different expressions of the same ingredient, one crisped and straightforward, the other lifted by the punch of XO sauce. The B8. Steamed Sponge Cake (Mah Lai Gao) 香滑马来糕 rounds out the cake side of the menu with something softer and sweet, a natural way to ease into or out of a fuller dim sum spread.

Tricycle Street Food 三轮车经济粉 in Bandar Menjalara wears its street-food roots openly, and the savoury cake offerings here sit comfortably within that unpretentious style. The Fried carrot cake 煎萝卜糕 is a hawker staple done in a straightforward way, while the Steam Taro Cake 芋头糕 offers a softer, more delicate alternative. The Hakka Mugwort Rice Cake 菜脯粗叶粄 is the most distinctive of the three, a nod to Hakka tradition that you don't come across everywhere, making this a worthwhile stop for anyone with an interest in heritage rice cake varieties.
