Whether filled with vegetables, meat or seafood, this popular tart is a comfort food loved by many

Quiche is probably one of the most well-loved pastries in the world. A soft pastry crust filled with milk, eggs or cream, then flavoured with vegetables, meat or seafood for distinction. Its most popular variant is quiche Lorraine, which contains bacon.

While most people associate this dish with the French, quiche originated from the German kingdom of Lothringen, or Lorraine. Its name comes from the German word, ‘kuchen’, which means ‘cake’. Lorraine was then conquered by the French who refined and popularised the dish.

Today, it is a popular treat because of its versatility. Like pies, it can come with a variety of fillings.

Here are six places in the Klang Valley where you can get a satisfying fix of quiche.

This plant-filled place in a sunny corner of TTDI is truly a gardener’s dream. The food's not too shabby either, and the highlights are its three types of quiche: Quiche Lorraine, Smoked Salmon and Potato, and, the most decadent of them all, Unagi and Leek.

They say good things are worth the wait, and that applies to the Roasted Squash, Garlic and Sage Quiche at Jaslyn Cakes. Available only on weekends (be warned that they sell out fast), the ingredients are tossed in with homemade creme fraiche for extra richness. You can order by slice or whole, the latter requiring seven days advance notice.

3. The Bread Shop

Established in 2009, this bakery sells all manner of baked delights but they are probably most famous for their cruffins, a cross between a croissant and a muffin. But don't count out the quiche, which is available in three classic flavours: Mushroom, Basil Chicken and Quiche Lorraine.
