    Had desserts at Nely's Passion Heart recently and the cakes were genuinely impressive. The Mango Cheese was definitely the highlight — worth the price with generous, plump fresh mango chunks layered over a lush cheesecake base.

    Cempedak cheesecake and cempedak crumble cake are amazingly good — we fell in love from the very first bite when our friend previously takeaway a slice for us. The flavour is rich yet comforting, truly something special.

    I decided to try out this place after reading about it in the papers. We ordered two versions of their cakes based on Cempedak, and I have to say, those were excellent.

    Well hidden away from most tourists stops in the island.. not even in the heritage side of Georgetown. Seats between some residents housing, you got this lovely store. Unfortunately they does serve food anymore.

    Tucked in a small road in Penang - Nely's Passion Heart serves high quality, power packed and heart warming cakes. There's something for everyone and the service is top notch.

    While the food here is generally acceptable, the overall experience was incredibly disappointing due to the lack of hospitality and a highly unprofessional atmosphere. Starting with the food, there really isn't much to complain about.

    The cakes are so aesthetically appealing and delicious! We ordered the cempedak cheese cake and black forest red wine, accompanied with a pot of Beauty Skin tea infusions. The homemade cakes are one of a kind!

    Came around 9pm and it was nice and quiet, no crowd, good vibes. Ordered a few cakes and they were all decent, but the cempedak cheesecake was the clear standout. Rich, creamy, and that cempedak flavour hits just right.
