Old house, fresh bread: welcome to ‘ddd Bakery Café’

A former family residence in Petaling Jaya has found new purpose as a cosy spot for good food, coffee and conversation.

Old house, fresh bread: welcome to ‘ddd Bakery Café’

Located in a former family home built at least 70 years ago, ddd Bakery Café was established by Chester Lee and four members of the Raisin Entertainment content-creation group: Desmond Chai, Khoh Zhi Quan, Nabil Ashman and Liew Chin Woon. The café's location was found when Lee spotted a "for rent" sign outside the house, which the owner had hoped to find a tenant to rejuvenate the property.

The café maintains a cozy atmosphere, resembling a lived-in home with strings of lights illuminating the spacious compound at night. Customers are free to choose their preferred spot, be it by the fire pit, camping chairs, or on the floor. The owners' goal was to create a welcoming space where people could "lepak" together.

Inspired by a neighboring "Jual Kasut" sign, Lee ordered the café banner, "Jual Roti," which caught the attention of passers-by. The four bread varieties - brioche buns, English muffins, potato buns, and milky toast - are freshly baked daily. The STS Platter combines these breads with two spreads, showcasing the café's freshly baked offerings. The house-made pandan kaya and basil butter are particularly noteworthy.

For meat lovers, the Triple-D Smash is a must-try, featuring a house-made smashed Australian minced beef patty, brioche bun, cheese, and pickled cucumbers, accompanied by golden, crispy fries. The Muffin Deluxe, with grilled chicken thigh and fried Omega egg, offers a simple yet scrumptious combination. An Asian twist can be found in the Creamy Curry Indomie, where springy noodles are coated in secret curry paste and cheddar cheese.

Whether you're seeking a cozy spot for some "me time" or to catch up with loved ones, ddd Bakery Café offers an inviting atmosphere reminiscent of dining in a friend's home.
