Penang: Honey Creme, Gurney Plaza

As a loyal fans of KangXiLaiLe (康熙来了), a Taiwanese talk show, there was one episode talking about awesome dessert in Taiwan. One of the artist recommended Honey Creme, which was newly opened by then in Taiwan. I was so tempted that time as they have whole grain flavour and also popcorn flavour, and of course their main one -- honeycomb ice cream. 

After a while, I saw people posting on social media that Honey Creme is coming to Malaysia! And it is so near, in Penang! *fireworks*

Here's the stall. It is located at the basement, where all the food stalls are. 

It is so hard to choose - multigrain or bestseller? In the end, I go with honey ice cream, as bestseller can't goes wrong. XD And I really want to taste their ice cream to know what's so special about them. One cup will cost you around RM12++.

My honey ice cream in the making. They mixed 2 types of honey in a cup of ice cream. 

Can't wait to try! =P

Tried to take an artistic photo of my ice cream. 

Presenting to you..... Honey Ice Cream. The ice cream is very milky and soft. However, I find the honey too sweet. I would rather have plain soft serve. Maybe honey isn't my type. Shall try multigrain next time, if I ever have the chance. ^_^

Kuala Lumpur: The Owls Cafe

I used to confuse The Owls Cafe at Bukit Jalil with Owls Espresso at SS15. When I saw people posting nice waffle photos on Instagram, I told my sis that I want to try it out. That was months ago. I drove her to SS15 and look at Owls Espresso with a smile on the face. Waffle time! But wait!!! Sister stopped me. She asked if I were looking for the one with nice Rebecca Waffle. Owls Espresso is famous with bingsu, not waffle. That's another owls cafe. Jeng Jeng Jeng~~~ I was disappointed that time as I don't have time to explore further places. Why is there 2 cafes with similar theme? *fainted*

Months later, which was last weekend, I finally make time during my KL trip to try out this cafe. It is located at Bukit Jalil, and Waze successfully guided me to the right spot. =D

The cafe is located upstairs.

When we reached the entrance, we saw people queuing for seats. One... Two... Three.... Three more groups to our turn and we decided to wait. How long can people sit there for waffles right? Positive thinking.... =D And really, after 10 minutes of waiting, its our turn! 

Got their menu and quickly flip to the waffle page. 

Rebecca... Or Midori?? Go for the popular one! So we chose Rebecca waffle. Earl Grey ice cream! Something to look forward to. 

While waiting for our food to be served, I look around the cafe. Noted that this cafe isn't very spacious.

The bar with lots of owls as decoration.

I'm not a fan of owls but they are cute!

Oh! Forget to mention that we also ordered a cup of rose latte to try ^_^ 

It tastes good, but to be honest, I am not a rose person. I still prefer my original latte. =P

Kuala Lumpur: VCR

VCR just celebrated their 2nd anniversary and finally I have the chance to visit it after so long! VCR is one of the cafes in my checklist and always have no chance to go there. I've seen photos on Instagram and on Facebook. I've read blogs about this cafe, telling how good is their cakes. So last Friday, finally is my turn to try out the cakes and food in this cafe. 

Last Friday, I drove down all the way from Taiping to Kuala Lumpur alone. I have an alumni dinner and wedding dinner to attend. Of course, I also get the opportunity to meet up with a lot of people -- high school friends, uni mates, ex-colleagues, exchange friends and of course, the most important one - sister a.k.a partner in crime. I reached KL around 12pm in the afternoon, then I went to Sunway to pick up my sis from her hostel. And there, we started cafe hopping. 

VCR is our first stop. =) It is located at Bukit Bintang, not too far from Times Square. One downside of this cafe is that parking is a problem. The cafe did stick a guide and suggest to park at the hotel beside to avoid getting "love letter" from DBKL. 

I ordered the potato waffle whereas my sis ordered their turkish eggs. We also ordered a cup of latte and a slice of their famous cake -- "The King".

They served us with cake and coffee first. 

What is "The King"? It is actually banana cake with peanut butter. It isn't a special combination as I've tried similar combo in The Good Batch years ago. Personally, I would go for "The King" as it is not so rich of peanut butter (which may be bad for some people). After eating the slice of "The King", I can still eat my main dish without feeling too guilty. =P Latte is just O-K-A-Y. It is better than normal, but still doesn't beats the one I had in Ministry of Coffee/Garage 51. 

Turkish Baked Egg. It comes with chick peas, sprinkled nuts, yoghurt, egg and toasts.

I like this dish as it is really filling and the combo seems healthy too. Though it looks small portion at first, me and sis feel so full after finishing it. 

The Potato Waffle. Served with 2 poached eggs and plenty of mushrooms! 

Kedah: Tai Kuan Laksa & Caffe Diem

Because I miss Alor Setar......... So here's a post about Alor Setar food! 

TAI KUAN LAKSA

I've always wanted to try this laksa place but my friend said it isn't nice. Being a stubborn girl, I went to try this laksa stall when I was looking for lunch alone. According to Dr Google, this stall is famous with laksa and ice kacang (mixed ice). So, I ordered both to try. 

Don't be surprise that they are actually 2 different stalls. This area is like a small hawker center, with a few food stalls. So you need to order Laksa from one stall and Ice Kacang from another. But their services are really good. I went there and looked a bit lost. Uncle Aunty approached me and sort of guided me to order my plate of Laksa and Ice Kacang.

My lunch at a glance.

Closer shot of the laksa. It isn't really nice as I've imagined. Sorry friend for not trusting you!

Ice Kacang is just O-K. Taiping has better Ice Kacang. =)

******************************************************

Next: Caffe Diem, Pekan Cina

After sharing about the not-so-good laksa and ice kacang, here's a post on my favourite cafe in Alor Setar. This is the first cafe that I've been when I started working in Alor Setar. The hot chocolate impressed me a lot. Hence, I often hang out with friends here. Sometimes, when I was alone, I will still chill in this cafe. I will choose a hidden spot and start writing blogs inside. XD

And here's one day that I was alone, enjoying my coffee and dinner, while typing out my travelogue. Life is good. =D

Tried to take an artistic photo for my cuppa coffee. Success?

Cambodia: Short Getaway to Siam Reap Part 11 (Sunrise Quad Bike)

Day 5 in Siam Reap (Bye Bye!!!)

Last post for my Cambodia Trip! Sorry for taking so long to write these out. 

As previously mentioned, we had some drink before sleep. Hence I was a bit dizzy after drinking. Thankfully I was able to wake up in the morning for quad bike! 

We booked a morning tour and the driver picked us up from our hotel early in the morning. Only 2 of us managed to enjoy the breakfast and I'm one of them. XD Then, we went to their center to get our bike. Yes! I was so excited to get on a quad bike. Never try one in my life! 

The quad bikes. Looking so cool!

We had a small test with the instructor before they decide to let us drive on our own or with instructor at our back seat throughout the 2-3 hours journey. They let us drive out to a small field to try out our driving skills. Sadly, I failed! I need to have one instructor with me to guide me through. I was quite upset with my driving skills but for safety purpose, it is worth it, I told myself. Then, the boss decided to have instructors with everyone of us as he was worried with our safety. Oh great! I'm not the odd one. *evil*

This is where we drive to. Countryside quad bike journey! We get to stop wherever we want to take photo.

Taken by my instructor.

Favourite photo of the day. ^_^

They also brought us to visit a wat. This wat is very colourful compared to those dull wat at Angkor Area.

Beside the wat, there are 2 unique trees. Curving inwards forming a frame.

We stopped by here to get some coconut to cool down our body. It was a hot and dusty journey, but enjoyable =)

Last stop to enjoy lake view.
