PETALING JAYA: A Café with a Heart of Gold
Stepping into BaD Scones, a café in Damansara Utama, is like stepping into the cosy living room of an English cottage. With soft lighting, beautiful paintings, and plush, comfortable armchairs, you can’t help but feel instantly at home.
The Pièce de Résistance: Desserts and Savoury Delights
The pièce de resistance is the tantalising display of desserts, including cakes, muffins, English shortbreads, cream puffs, mini tarts, cinnamon rolls, and, of course, scones. The freshly baked scones, served with homemade strawberry jam and clotted cream from the UK, do not disappoint. In addition to the plain variety, there are delightful flavours such as cranberry, lavender, orange poppyseed, and more.
A Passion for Baking and a Heart for Animals
Aside from her love for animals, it isn’t hard to guess that Ong has a passion for baking. Her talent shines through the café’s lovely offerings – all of which were created by her, and some of which she still actively rolls up her sleeves to make from scratch.
A Café with a Social Conscience
BaD Scones is more than just a café; it is a platform to make a positive impact. The café donates 5% of their monthly sales proceeds to support animal welfare, learning about cases through a WhatsApp group called “Animal Kindness”. Additionally, the team prepares at least 10kg of rice with chicken to supply to a group of feeders daily.
A Leader in Animal Welfare
Ong, the founder of BaD Scones, is an animal lover from young and has a blind cat, a paralysed dog, and a three-legged turtle, among other pets, at home. She believes that every living creature deserves compassion and care, especially those who cannot speak for themselves. Starting BaD Scones was her way of turning empathy into action and contributing to a more compassionate society where animals are treated with kindness and respect.
Conclusion
Enjoying decadent desserts and scrumptious food in a cosy setting makes a visit to BaD Scones worth your while – but knowing you’ll be contributing towards a worthy cause? That’s the icing on the cake.
