SHAH ALAM, March 3 — Cake Jalan Tiung has built its reputation on laminated dough and levain. Founded by the dynamic duo of Hidzad Bin Lahuree and his wife Nur Shafinaz Binti Abdul Rahman,This Ramadan, however, the ovens and proofing baskets share space with stock pots as Cake Jalan Tiung dishes up their newis an important moment during Ramadan. After a long day of fasting, the body needs filling comfort and bold flavours re-energise.”so much that they would order from all the popular places almost every week or twice a week for lunch. It’s simple, bold and also satisfying.

For something less expected, there is Mexican Street Corn: charred corn dressed with grated cheese and spices, a playful counterpoint to the evening’s more traditional Malay mains. That’s a lot of new menu items, however you view it. Indeed, for a café whose daily rhythm revolves around viennoiserie and brunch plates, Ramadan has necessitated operational recalibration. Hidzad shares, “For context, our kitchen is built around the rhythm of sourdoughs, bagels, croissants, eggs, and afternoon pastas, run by a small, tight team of two cooks. It is an intimate operation, and we are proud of that intimacy.”menu this year, however, the Cake Jalan Tiung team wanted “to make these dishes completely ourselves instead of having them pre-made and frozen.”menu means we are essentially running a different kitchen by evening. The techniques, the ingredients, the timing – everything shifts.

Everyone is cooking with the awareness that the people sitting down at iftar have been fasting all day, and that what lands on their table in that moment carries real weight.” He is equally candid about the strain. “We won’t pretend it hasn’t been a stretch – it has. But some things are worth stretching for. Being able to offer Shah Alam a meaningful, soulfulexperience from a kitchen that normally plates sourdough at breakfast? That contrast is something we carry with quiet pride.” Ramadan, Hidzad suggests, has sharpened their sense of direction. Pushing their small kitchen beyond its usual rhythm revealed both weaknesses and room for growth – and clarified who they want to become. “Ramadan has a way of stripping things back to what truly matters,” he says, explaining how running a more complex iftar menu has had them seriously considering expanding into permanent evening service, not as a seasonal experiment but as a genuine commitment. They will move carefully, Hidzad adds, mindful of their lean team and intimate space. “Ramadan opened a door for us this year, and we have every intention of walking through it.” There is no doubt Cake Jalan Tiung can achieve whatever they set out to accomplish. After all, their Ramadan menu alone demonstrates that you can serve both sourdough croissants and
