Labu + Labu, Bandar Sunway
[Pork-free] Labu + Labu in Bandar Sunway has been gaining social traction lately for its Flossie Balls.
We’ve recently tried a similar product from Kia Lia Cake Pastry in Penang, which we really enjoyed. Check out our post here.
Last week, we finally made our way to Labu + Labu in Bandar Sunway to see if their flossie balls are equally good.
Labu + Labu in Sunway Mentari
Located in Sunway Mentari, Labu + Labu is known for its Flossie Balls.
These pastries are essentially sponge cakes stuffed with creamy mayo and coated with chicken floss.
Aside from the standard Flossie Ball (RM10 for four), Labu + Labu also offers Spicy Seaweed Chicken Flossie Balls, Vegetarian Floss Balls, and Yam Cake Balls.
We attempted to walk-in on a Sunday afternoon, but all of the balls were sold out by then. We were advised to make our orders online (link here) for pick-up on New Year’s Day – which we did.
Chicken Flossie Balls
The best-selling product here are the Chicken Flossie Balls.
Compared to Kia Lai’s similar offering (which made our Top Nine Cafes of 2024 list – read here), we found Labu + Labu’s one to be quite decent.
The sponge cake here is definitely softer, and the “mayo” is equally creamy and not too sweet. However, we have a slight preference for Kia Lai’s Seaweed Chicken Floss Cake, and the addition of seaweed really elevated the cake with a hint of umami hit. We also prefer the slightly firmer cake texture of Kia Lai’s.
Spicy Seaweed Flossie Balls
This also explains why we prefer the Spicy Seaweed Chicken Flossie Balls (RM14 for four). The spicy chicken floss gives a nice spicy kick to the whole ensemble and the seaweed (albeit, less than Kia Lai’s) provided a nice savoury hit.
Yam Cake Balls
We enjoyed the Yam Cake Balls (RM15 for four). These are essentially yam paste sandwiched in between two slices of sponge cakes.
The yam was quite delicious, although it was not quite as “gao” or punchy as Kia Lai’s. That said, Labu + Labu’s balls are definitely cheaper vs. the latter’s.
Summary
Aside from the flossie balls, Labu + Labu also sells sponge cakes, cookies and whole cakes.
While we prefer Kia Lai’s offerings, Labu + Labu’s ones are still delicious and affordable. It is probably the only one offering such products in KL at the moment.
We recommend purchasing online in advance for self pick-up or delivery.
