The place is Rumah Tumpangan & Restoran Embassy in Ipoh, and aside from its classic kopitiam dishes, what really caught my attention was their famous Cempedak cake. At first, I was curious—cempedak isn’t a fruit you often see in cakes. But one bite in, and it made perfect sense.

The cake was soft, moist, and layered with the natural sweetness and fragrance of cempedak. It had that distinct tropical flavor—slightly stronger than jackfruit—balanced with just the right amount of creaminess. Each slice felt indulgent yet comforting, the kind of dessert that lingers in your memory long after the last bite. Pairing it with a cup of their local white coffee made it even better—a perfect marriage of rich flavors.

This cake alone is reason enough to drop by Embassy, especially if you love trying unique Malaysian-inspired desserts.
