After a satisfying sourdough sandwich brunch at Bluer House Cafe, we strolled 110m (barely two minutes) to Mollie Makes for dessert. I first spotted Mollie Makes in a few videos online. The calm aesthetic and gorgeous desserts sold me instantly. It went straight onto my JB to-try list.
How Ordering Works at Mollie Makes
- Order and pay at the counter as you walk in.
- Grab your own table. Head upstairs if the ground floor looks full. The second level has more seats.
- Watch the digital screen. When your number pops up, collect your order from the counter.
- Leave the credit card at home. They don’t take cards, but SG residents can pay via PayNow.
- Help yourself to free water at the water station.
What We Ordered
Handmade Mochi, Yam Paste, Assam Milk Tea with Cheese Foam (RM15.90)
A little label on top tells you to stir thoroughly. I didn’t. Not at first, anyway.
I sipped it as it came, drawing the straw from bottom to top to taste every layer. The slightly salty cheese foam tasted brilliant. It felt more like eating a dessert than drinking tea.
Then I followed the label and gave it a proper stir. Now every mouthful carried a bit of everything. I highly recommend this one.
Soy Bean Curd with Happy Pistachio Paste (RM11.90)
Think of the classic peanut or black sesame paste, but pistachio. I’d never tried pistachio paste before, and it beat my expectations.
- Very nutty and not sweet
- Pistachio bits add extra crunch
- Soft, wobbly, light soy bean curd
Love pistachio? You’ll love this.
Mollie Soy Bean Curd (RM17.90)
This is the signature bowl. A soy bean curd base carries a pretty spread of toppings:
- Red bean
- Grass jelly
- Barley
- Rose chestnut pearls (crunchy water chestnut!)
- Yam
- Handmade mochi
The toppings taste plain and unsweetened on their own. Pour over the milk and it pulls everything together. Each spoonful brings contrasting textures.
The mochi on top reminded me of the soft mochi I ate at Tamsui Old Street in Taipei. Toasted shredded coconut adds a gentle crunch. Not sweet. Very good.
The Vibe at Mollie Makes
Soft music plays in the background. The space looks clean and pretty. It feels zen and calming, the perfect breather after a busy morning in JB.
Verdict: I love the vibes, and I loved every sweet treat we tried. If you’re in JB, make Mollie Makes your dessert stop. Highly recommend!
