The Carpenter’s Daughter

This here is one unique bakery shop that you won’t find anywhere else. Their pastries are fresh and some are organic. Their cakes are amazing and they can even baked organic cheese cake. Their pastries are interesting as they incorporates fruits and vegetables which are fresh. I got the potato bun with mayo, forgot what they named it. But it was delicious! That bun alone was my breakfast! You can even dine in their bakery shop. They have pies and pasta you can order and coffees as well. I like their decoration inside, makes it feel like you’re in a classic wooden house feel. I want to come here again for their food. I had a friend last time ordered an organic cheese cake from them and it was really good. Definitely do come here and check it out!

The store sign is pretty faded out so actually spotting the sign is a bit of a challenge, but it’s on the same row as Nando’s Taipan and Inside Scoop. Food is pretty good. My friends and I went one weekday during lunchtime, so they were having a lunch set promotion.
We ordered two Baked Pasta sets and one Cheese Baked Rice. The portions actually proved to be much bigger that I was expecting. The Baked Pasta was Penne pasta with A normal Bolognese sauce with a ton of cheese baked inside and topped with more Cheddar cheese baked to a crisp on top.
The cheese baked rice was a bit of a disappointment. The rice was baked to a point where the gravy inside had completely dried up and the rice was a little hard and chewy and had almost no flavour. The little flavour it did have was from the cheese on top. For drinks we had a choice of coffee or tea as part if the set lunch. For dessert we got a Raspberry Yogurt cheesecake to share. Cake was really good but a little on the tart side, which is just the way I like my yogurt based cakes. They even offer a selection of French Style homemade ice cream.

This little bakery in Subang Jaya is an absolute gem. In Taipan, it’s hard to find rustic, freshly baked bread outside of one of those generic chain bakeries. But what a blessing The Carpenter’s Daughter is. Every time I enter this shop, I’m hit with the smell of warm bread. They have a variety you can choose from, but my favourite is the sundried tomato focaccia. It’s super fluffy and the aroma of tomatoes really come through. It’s good enough to eat on its own — I’ve polished off many slices in the car on the way back home. That’s how good they are!
You can also try their desserts; they have pecan pie and carrot cake and a few tarts. I’ve tried the pecan pie and the chocolate brownie — neither were as good as the breads. BUT if you’re after a cookie, their chocolate sables are to-​die-​for. They melt like shortbread and the chocolate flavour is really pronounced — you can tell they use good chocolate too. I don’t know if they still stock Forty Licks ice cream but if yes, the roasted white chocolate ice cream is fab.
