Just try one spoonful and you’ll be hooked on this gorgeous tiramisu, writes PEGGY LOH
Ask any gourmet in johor Baru where the best tiramisu can be found and you’d be told Café Café. For over eight years, the café has been serving excellent Italian cuisine and has an exceptionally large following for this irresistible melt-in-your-mouth dessert.
“we use ingredients from italy,” explains restaurateur wong wui leong.
Beginning with a passion for its aromatic coffee, Wong grew to love all things Italian. And while he shops, cooks and runs the café, he admits that dessert items, especially the tiramisu, is left to his wife, Siew Chin.

What’s Special
To create authentic dishes and desserts, there are no shortcuts or substitutes and tiramisu is no exception. Siew Chin uses Nescapone or sponge finger biscuits and since it’s a non-alcoholic version, everyone can enjoy this exquisite dessert!
Pizzas are made the Italian way-thin and crispy-with seafood and Napolitan toppings heading the list of all-time favourites. Bruschetta or Italian open sandwiches are served heaped with seafood or fresh chopped tomato and herbs. Freshly-baked Onion Bread, fragrant with a sprinkling of onions on top of a base of rosemary is another excellent choice.
While juicy lamb chops served with a side salad and pasta is a favourite main course, guests are acquiring a taste for Pasta Al Forno Melanzane-steaming cheese-baked pasta with multiple layers of tuna, chicken, beef or eggplant for vegetarians.
Calzone makes a great snack for four. To the uninitiated, this 12-inch foldover pastry resembles a giant curry-puff. All these go down very well with full-flavoured soups made from fresh ingredients like real mushrooms. Seafood Marinara has plenty of prawns, mussels, squid and clams in it.
Upon request, Café Café will prepare your favourite Italian dishes according to original recipes.
However, Wong understands Malaysian tastes and often gives the recipes a tweak to make dishes more palatable.
To bring your meal to a fitting end, savour the excellent Lavazzaa coffee. But whatever you choose from the menu, don’t forget to save some space for tiramisu!
