Just shy of two months old is Madeleine Bistro, sibling to the popular Madeleine Patisserie and Madeleine Café in Sunway. This latest establishment to the group of eateries is located in Oasis Ara Damansara, and although fairly new, it has accrued a huge fanbase of dessert lovers. This comes as no surprise since Joanne Yeong, Head Pastry Chef to Madeleine’s team of talented pastry makers and graduate of Le Cordon Bleu, achieved the title of Pastry Chef of the Year 2015 at the World Gourmet Summit, and that title alone vouches for Madeleine’s high standards of quality products.

A small and compact little spot tucked along Jalan Telawi 2, Jaslyn Cakes would be hard to miss if not for the amazing aroma of freshly baked cakes wafting through the air and leading you gratefully towards it.
