Bean Jr & Australian Cake House

Passed by Bean Jr on my way to the optical shop to collect my specs. Went in and sign up for their free membership.
The perks of joining as 'member' is that you will get a RM10 voucher (deduct from your purchase) which is valid within a year from the date of joining. I did not buy anything yet, so my voucher is still unused.
The shop interior looks cool with white furniture, walls, ceiling and floor.
The only thing that is not white is the bunch of 'lalang' in the center of the dining table.
not sure if that is a real plant or not
the concept is of this shop is similar to Tealive (or some Bubble tea shop) where you order the drinks from the front counter and head to the back for 'dine-in'. Self-collect on the drinks/dessert from the counter.
This shop is sharing the same premise with Australian Cake House.
But why it is named as 'Australian' when most of the items sold there are durian cakes and puffs?
they have D24 durian cakes and Musang King durian cakes of various sizes
The prices are as follows:

D24 Durian Cake (small) - RM14 

Musang King Cake (small) - RM20

D24 Durian Cake 
5 inch - RM115
9 inch - RM140

Musang King Durian Cake
5 inch - RM160
9 inch - RM195

D24 Durian Puff (3 pcs) - RM10.50

They also have some other cakes such as Chocolate cakes with Oreo or macaroons and all sorts of Swiss rolls, such as Chocolate, Pandan, Strawberry, Macadamia, Wholemeal and Coffee.
The Swiss roll price ranges from RM10 to RM15 each.
Somewhere nearby, i spotted a 'guard' sleeping on the job
Meanwhile, I have now been 'on-and-off' to the office depending on the current situation in the office (as some colleagues got infected).
But when i m in the office, i would usually eat out...
This BK Double King (beef) set meal which comes with fries and drinks is only RM9.90.
The price hasn't gone up since before the pandemic lockdown. It is still maintain at RM9.90 during weekday 12-3pm.
But the price of noodles and many eateries have gone up.
For this case, my fav chili pan mee is already RM11 (can't remember the exact price but it's somewhere there). Previously this was usually below RM10.
seems like fast food is more affordable than noodles these days....

You just went in to get the membership? Didn't buy any ice or tofufa from Beans Jr? I bought cakes from that cake house before. Quite ok.

The shop interior looking so stunning and beautiful indeed. I also wondering why they using the name "Australian" when most of the angmoh dislike eating durian :P

Burger King is indeed one the cheapest fast food so far. My brothers having them like almost every week, cause it's more affordable and worth than other fast food restaurants. Never knew pan mee in West Malaysia could be so expensive. Here we still can get around RM8-10 for chili pan mee (my fav too)

The place looks very bright and clean. I will want to try the swiss rolls. Since no visitor, the "guard" might as well take a nap. Lol! I miss having burger. I love chili pan mee. True, the prices of noodles have gone up. A hike of 50 cents for most. The price of drinks have also gone up.

My friend bought me the best Durian Cake for my birthday from this Australian Cake House which is located opposite Leisure Mall Cheras. We had no idea how this name could sell so many types of durian cakes too. I want to visit the branch to test other cakes.

The place looks very clean and classy.

BK is cheaper than McD then. Since it's over RM10 for a McD standard set.
