Penang: HK Triple Milk @ Golden Triangle

Eggette a.k.a Egg Waffle (鸡蛋仔) is a must eat if one visit Hong Kong. A lot of eggette stalls started to pop out  in shopping malls. Some are so famous until you need to queue for eggette. Of course, eggettes in Malaysia are selling much higher price than what you get in Hong Kong. Is it worthwhile trying it in Malaysia? I would say, it depends on the taste. If a stall is selling delicious eggette, it is worth trying. =) Flying to Hong Kong is still much expensive anyway. 

Weeks ago, I went to Penang with sister and we were looking for Eggette + Frozen Yogurt. Sister said her friend went to try and it was nice. We have no idea what's the shop name and hence we started to google for inspiration. Without much problem, we found HK Triple Milk, which is located at Golden Triangle, not far from Queensbay Mall. So we drove there with Waze as guide to the restaurant. Finding a car park here is really hard! We drove 3 rounds to get a parking. Tiring!

The Menu of HK Triple Milk.

The menu is pretty straightforward. Frozen Yogurt, French Toasts, Milk Tea, Eggette, Instant Noodles, etc.... Since I had lunch before going to HK Triple Milk, I decided to order Eggette, Frozen Yoghurt and a cup of coffee.

After 15 minutes of waiting, our food are served! 

The eggette is not bad, crispy at the outer part and soft at the inner part. Yogurt is not bad either. It was served with chocolate topping and yogurt pop. However, coffee is really disappointing.

Penang: Siam Road Char Kuey Teow

At the corner of Siam Road, you will find a famour Char Kuey Teow hawker stall.  This stall is famous and you can't miss out if you pass by. A lot of people will be queuing at the stall for the famous Char Kuey Teow. Compared to the one at Lorong Selamat, I prefer this stall. The uncle's service is so much nicer and the Char Kuey Teow is cheaper too. 

If you choose to dine in, you can order and find a seat at the coffee shop opposite the stall. If there is full house, you gonna prepare to wait for at least 30 minutes. 

I waited for almost an hour that day. And food is finally served! I was amazed with their memories, able to remember so many different orders at once.

Siam Road Char Kuey Teow (RM5.50 each for a normal one)

They served with big prawns and chinese sausage. 

I like the taste of the Char Kuey Teow of this stall as it is not too spicy and slightly oily. Can try this stall if you never been here during your Penang food trip. Cheaper too! They open in the afternoon from 3pm onwards, except on Mondays. 

Address: Intersection of Anson Road and Jalan Siam, Penang.

Penang: Little Nyonya, Gurney Plaza

If you ever wonder what to eat in Gurney Plaza, you may consider dropping by Little Nyonya, as they serve great Nyonya dishes. Was looking around for a quick dinner with family and decided to try Little Nyonya as it seems promising and grandma would like it. So we ordered a few dishes and desserts too.


Ordered their cendol. It was just okay. 

Banana with Sago and Gula Melaka. This is something special, but a little too sweet. 

Desserts aren't too fancy. But the dishes are good. 

Pong Teh Chicken. This is quite comparable with the one I tasted in Malacca.

Curry prawns. This is my favourite dish of all. 

Fried Otak-Otak with Tofu. Errr..... Can ignore about this. Crispy but the combo doesn't goes well. 

Fried Brinjal served with sambal (?) sauce. This is nice too!

Everything goes well with a bowl of white rice. =) Enjoyable dinner with family here. Definitely fill up with energy to continue shopping!!

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. ^_^

Penang: Sushi Tei

FINALLY, I can say goodbye to TDM oncall. Third week of oncall makes me very nervous because I have not touch the machine for months. I was so afraid that I could not perform well. On the first day of the oncall, I hardly sleep because I was nervous. If there's any toxic case during midnight, I might freak out. Luckily luckily, I finished it peacefully. 19 days of TDM oncall in total. It's over! Hopefully don't have anymore this year. Please Please....

Ok, back to topic on my visit to Sushi Tei last weekend. Went there after work on Thursday to meet up with sister at Queensbay mall. FINALLY... Time for some sushi! =D Japanese food! I've been craving for nice Japanese food for a very longgggggggg timeeeeee.

I was really hungry when I reached Queensbay Mall at 6pm. Had 2 pieces of bread for lunch as I have lunch call that day. So, I've decided to feast for dinner. Hopeless diet plan. Failed again.

Ok, photo time to make your saliva start dripping. *evil smile*

Salmon Sashimi! I MISS THIS SO MUCH.... *tears dropping while eating*

And then sushi-s were all served first before my main.
Inari, soft shell crab maki, tamago sushi. Nom Nom Nom... If you think these sushi for 2 people seem alright, you are wrong. My sis did not eat much as her lunch was at 3pm. I consumed 70% of them XD (Erm... I think I shouldn't tell this out and spoil my image. >.<)

And then my main was served hot stone bowl soba. Very very special.
Oh, this photo is just to show my tired but happy face. Le after-TDM-oncall face. Horrible. 

Take a close up of my soba. Taste very special. It is a bit spicy though. Can't describe the taste because I never have such taste in my life. Worth trying. =)

How cool can it be to dine in Hard Rock Cafe, Penang??

I'm not from a rich family. I'm not living an "atas" life. Hence, to me, Hard Rock Cafe seems like a dream cafe to me. But this year's Halloween, I have the chance to dine in there for dinner. I'm grateful with the spontaneous idea, to join the Halloween event organized by Hard Rock Cafe. I'm even more grateful to meet the bunch of friends that could "click" with me so well.

I treasure the moment.
A random trip.
A group of awesome friends.
A pleasant evening.
A great dinner.
A nice environment with nice music.
And FAITH, that make everything happens.

It's the end of October and we decided to go for a getaway. One car and there we go. 
Had nice duck rice as lunch, then shop for 2 hours at Gurney and then chill by the beach. 

Sand. Sun. Sea. SoulmateSSS =D

After strolling for 40 minutes, we went back to Bayview to get change and prepare for our Halloween dinner. XD Honestly, I really like our family room in Bayview although it is a little old and the lights are too dim. Love the space and it feels so cozy.

Ok, time for dinner! I put on my newly bought heels and there we walked to Hard Rock Cafe which is just located beside our hotel.


We reserved a table for 5 and we were sitted at a corner, near the stage. Literally beside the speaker. 
Hmm.... NOT strategic enough.. And that night, there's quite a number of people there, though not as happening as I thought. Not much screaming for a Halloween night. (Maybe this is how to celebrate Halloween the classy way.)

The nice decoration above the stage.

Upon ordering, I noticed that the menu isn't that expensive as I would have expected. It is about the price range of Morganfield, TGI Fridays, etc.... Not bad not bad. And their cocktails aren't as expensive as my dream place -- Marini on 57. Quite a surprise to me.

And the portion of food here is HUGE! I couldn't finish my plate of half chicken. XD

Friend's mac and cheese served with grilled chicken breast. 
I've tried and it is nice! Friend complaint about the chicken breast but I am someone who like that kind of texture. Would rate a 3 over 5 for this.

Chicken Quesadilla -- nicest dish of the night.
Friend's dish as well. Haha. I think my friends really feed me well. Everyone let me try theirs. <3 
Love the chicken in there and the sauce! Sour cream~ yumz~ Salsa sauce~ Slurps~

Seafood spaghetti. Looks nice right. 

Take a break from showing you all food photos.
This is a close up of the decoration. Like this photo very much. Lights of hope! =)

Penang: Brew cafe

#throwback

While driving back from Alor Star to Taiping for a weekend, I was hungry. Then, I've decided to drop by Autocity, Juru for breakfast. Was thinking for subway breakfast set but when I parked my car, I found a new cafe at the flea market area. *blink blink* *eyes widely open and smile widely* =D

I felt a little awkward at first to try on the new cafe myself but I convinced myself that it is my S-T-Y-L-E. Hoping for a great breakfast and a nice cuppa coffee to brighten up my day. 


Jeng Jeng! Ordered a ham+cheese sandwich breakfast set (RM16.90++)
The sandwich is disappointingly SMALL. The sandwiches in the menu seems huge and the plenty of filling. But look at this! Aikzzz....


Side view of the sandwiches. Erm... Very disappointed looking right? (Agree? Agree?)


A surprise! They served me 2 drinks. Orange and americano. 
Hmm... If I don't remember, coffee is in the add-on set. So yeah, I did finished them all XD


They have indoor and outdoor seatings. 
I chose outdoor seating because I prefer some morning sunlight. 


Some cute decorative stickers on the glass window.

Penang: Brown Pocket & Mizi Bistro

#throwback

Finally I have a chance to try Brown Pocket in Gurney Paragon, Penang! =D I've heard about this cafe for quite some time but have no time to try it. Random is the key. Nice idea may just pop out in few seconds and we should just go for it without hesitation. 

Brown Pocket is a cafe that serves desserts, mainly waffle, and coffee. It seems to be very delicious from my friends' instagram photos and so I've decided to give it a try. Price range is around RM13-RM17 for a waffle, and unknown price for coffee (coz I didn't order one).

Foodie photos time! =D

Friend's blueberry yoghurt. Look very convincing right. 

Friend's Triple Chocolate Waffle -- Served with dark, milk and white chocolate in small cups + a scoop of chocolate ice cream. SO CHOCOLICIOUS. =D

MINE!! Banana Walnut Chocolate Waffle. Caramel banana is awesome.

It has been a long time since I take photo with my food. XD Fail food blogger.

****************************************************************************
After we had our brunch in Brown Pocket, we went shopping for a while in Gurney Paragon before heading for a movie. SHOPPING TIME!! (Ended up did window shopping XD)

AND SELFIE TIME!

Penang: Namoo Korean Dessert Cafe

#throwback
Writing this throwback post because I'm craving for Korean Food badly now. =(
I tried Namoo Korean Dessert Cafe twice, once in Publika for their famous sweet potato cake and bingsu, and this post is about my second try in Gurney Plaza. I remember I like the sweet potato cake, but not the bingsu. Bingsu is too over-priced and I think those ais kacang that costs me RM3 is tastier. =P

I visited Namoo in Gurney Plaza with my babe. I'm missing her now! Thanks to KKM, we are separated =S Not too far apart, but I still haven't meet her since I start working. I need to talk to people who knows me well. I love my new friends here, but I need some time to make myself more talkative to my new friends. I'm slow. 

Well, back to this cafe. 


The menu! Obviously, it is a fusion of Korean and Western cuisine -- saw Korean Western?
That's why, they have rice burgers, and also fish and chips here. Of course, you can also find bibimbab and kimchi here too.

I like their logo -- cute right?

The dining area.
This restaurant is very quiet compared to other restaurants, on a Friday night. Hmmmm......


Some decoration of the cafe behind our table.

We ordered a hot stone chicken bibimbab and Soya & honey ttuk bok ki to share. Food was served about 10-15 minutes later. Quite fast. Maybe it is because we are the only customers. So, I can't comment if they serve fast or slow.

Our food.

Penang: Yi Xiang Bak Kut Teh 益香绑线肉骨茶

This Bak Kut Teh Restaurant is recommended by grandma and she told us that the dishes are cute and worth trying. And so, one random evening, I dropped by and try this restaurant, with mom, grandma and aunt. 

It is located at Juru Autocity, beside Sakae Sushi. Not difficult for us to look for it as Juru Autocity used to be my hangout spot. We reached there around 5pm and it may be too early for dinner ==> the restaurant is empty, except workers and us. XD


The Menu --> Pork Rib tied with string (Hmm... look interesting)

Here, the bak kut teh serves in small bowls.
You can pick your favourite ingredients, not like the traditional style where you need to tell the waiter what you don't want. (For me, I dislike intestines and fats, so usually I need to tell the waiter, don't add this, don't add that. In this restaurant, I can pick my favourite meatballs and mushrooms ONLY. XD)

While waiting for the main dish, I ordered a dessert to try. I saw many people recommending this tau fu fa on Facebook and finally I get to try --> Kulai Lou Pan Organic Tau Fu Fa.

The texture of this Tau Fu Fa is too hard and it feels like jelly. Very commercialized taste.
Still, I prefer home-made tau fu fa. RM4 for this bowl and I think it is a bit too overrated.

Penang: WeeHouse 伟亿屋。便当套餐服务

LONG WEEKEND!!!! YEAH~~~

I drove back Taiping from Alor Star right after work on Thursday. Can't be happier because Thursdays are very relaxing for me -- finish work at 3.30pm =D So this weekend, I decided to stop-by Butterworth to meet up with my babe. 

The night before, I was searching nice cafe to explore in Butterworth and I found a few nice one. After scrolling for a while, a cute bento restaurant attracted me --> WeeHouse. They serve cute bento with cartoon rice, and they have Hello Kitty!! Can't resist the temptation and babe agreed to try this cafe out with me. *big smiley face*

Hence, after work, I drove to Raja Uda and searched for this cafe using Waze. It is not difficult to locate this cafe as it is just right in front of Econsave, Raja Uda. 



Ta-Daa!! Beary Cute Logo. =D

I entered earlier to wait and the cafe is kinda empty. Babe hasn't reach and hence I have plenty of time to read the menu and take photos of the cafe. XD
Drink -- Not too expensive for a cute cafe like this.


They have cute cartoon bread, cartoon sandwiches, cartoon bento, etc etc...
The 3D Kitty Sandwich is so tempting but it is not filling for dinner. So I decided to keep it for next time. 


They have huge teddy bears in the cafe too! One of them is even bigger than mine! OMG. Cuteness overload.


Spotted Melody too! If you have no idea what is melody, it is the pink colour rabbit on the wall. This drawing doesn't look like the "real" melody though, but well, the idea is good.



And I decided to order from the Kawaii Rice section. Of course, I picked Hello Kitty set!
Chosen Chicken set -- it didn't come with egg and soup as written in the menu, but there's fruits and drink! Oh well, drink is much nicer compared to soup, especially in such hot weather.



My Hello Kitty Chicken Set!
