Sesame Heaven at 芝麻糊大王 — Pudu’s Sweet Legacy

#summervacay #芝麻糊大王 #pududessert #klstreetfood #sesamepaste #tongsuilovers #pudueats #sweetheritage #nighttimetreat #handmadedessert #retrokl I went to 芝麻糊大王 in Pudu right after dinner, and it was exactly the sweet ending I didn’t know I needed. This place is as old-school as it gets—think retro interior, handwritten signs, and that unmistakable local charm. What caught my eye immediately was the bold line written above the counter: “不好吃不收钱” (If it’s not good, no charge). That’s some serious confidence—and honestly, they live up to it. I ordered their signature stone-ground black sesame paste, and it was incredibly smooth, nutty, and fragrant. It had that perfect thickness, not too runny, not too dense. The bowl even came with a hand-drawn cartoon on the surface—small detail, but it put a smile on my face. The place was busy even late at night, packed with locals and regulars who clearly know this is one of the city’s best-kept dessert secrets. I sat at one of the small tables, enjoying my warm bowl of sesame goodness while watching people stream in for their late-night sugar fix. It felt nostalgic, comforting, and absolutely worth the post-dinner stop. It’s rare to find a place that sticks so closely to its roots. 芝麻糊大王 isn’t just a dessert spot—it’s a bite of tradition, served warm and proud. Travel Tips & How to Get There: • When to go: • Open until midnight—perfect for a late-night dessert run after dinner. I went around 9PM and it was lively but still had seats. • Getting there: • Located along Jalan Kancil, Pudu. Easy to reach by Grab, or a 10-minute walk from Pudu LRT. • What to try: • Must-order: black sesame paste (芝麻糊). • Want more variety? Go for the “四大天王” combo with sesame, almond, walnut & peanut pastes. • Pro tip: • Don’t worry about the risk—if it’s not good, they really won’t charge you. But trust me, you won’t be asking for a refund.
