Hi all,

In stark contrast to my last post about Ener-G’s brown bread, this week’s bread selection is lovely! Just Heavenly café in Bangsar Shopping Centre has a glorious loaf of gluten-free butter cake on sale.

The bread is rich and soft and yummy! No complaints whatsoever, except for the availability (it’s not always available – and it’s hard to figure out why!) and the price (a little steep at RM30 per small loaf). Still, since good gluten-free baking is hard to come by, it’s a worthwhile (occasional) treat.

They also have slices of gluten-free coffee chocolate walnut cakes on offer, but these need to be pre-ordered. Again, they are pricey but tasty, though frankly, I’d go for the butter cake.

Daisy’s had a hard couple of weeks, hence the indulgence posts! 🙂 She’ll be back to her eco-austere self soon, she thinks!

Peace,

Daisy

 

 

Brown Rice Bread Review

Hello everyone! Today I was excited to buy a loaf of the EnerG gluten-free breads available at Bangsar Village Grocer. Boy, was I disappointed! I purchased the Brown Rice one – there are a few varieties – and don’t think I will get past the second slice!

There are several varieties of EnerG bread. I bought the Brown Rice one. Perhaps others are better.

The appearance is fine, but the texture is dry and dense. Worst of all is the taste – it’s sort of sweet and sour, if you can imagine that – and just overall strange.

The texture is fine but the taste - ugh! - was strange. Sweet and sour, dense, dry.

I would give this a skip, though I was initially so hopeful! Non-GMO, few ingredients, allergy conscious – all signalled positive. Too bad the product itself is a letdown.

Peace,
