Lavish Fusion Bakery is located at a heritage shop along the bustling Victoria Street and is ornamented with pink walls, plants, and beautiful mural art which depict the elements of strong nature, tropical and beach vibes.
But on the other hand, Wild Berries Lemonade captured our heart with its amazing taste. A taste featuring the sour and sweetness that triggers the senses in unexpected ways, YUM!! Wild Berries Lemonade @ RM 17.20
Roasted chicken Green Curry at about MYR 28.5 where the green curry gravy is served in the very small glass container shown ini the photo.
We were worried when the first dish was a little off that we might have come to the wrong place. However, the subsequent food was decent to good, and I’m still wondering how I can recreate the Malaysian pizza. I’d be happy to go back, even with the rich variety of dining options in Penang.
The Ultimate Tomahawk Platter seems a must. It came with everything in great proportions – 1.8kg tomahawk steak, rack of lamb, chicken souvlaki, and seabass in lemon basil butter, besides grilled king prawns, and creamy garlic scallops. The steak done just right with its natural juices was heartily enjoyed with the accompanying hummus, tzatziki, potatoes, corn, housemade pita, truffle mushroom cappuccino, sauces, and mix salad.
If Lamb is your thing, the 24 Hour Lamb Shank is quite a charm. the Lamb Shank is meticulously cooked to fork tender, the brown sauce packs a flavorful punch and with the creamy mashed Potatoes; the dish is both a palate-pleaser and a tummy-filler. Meat-free option would include the Cauliflower Steaks, a popular but uncommon vegan dish in Penang. Paprika-seasoned roasted Cauliflower Steaks served with Quinoa and home-made Olive-Tomato condiments. The Cauliflower Steaks have the juicy crunch while the condiments provide a savory but refreshing dimension to the dish. We recommend ending the meal with their classic but delicious Cocktails.
Overall, I think for a hot season, this is the place to be.
A place worth visiting especially it's chilling temperature.
Cool off at Ice Cafe, one of the latest hit in Penang that takes the definition of 'cool' to a whole new level. If the idea of freezing yourself while enjoying a serving of icy cold sweet treat intrigues you, you should really check it out. Ice Cafe is situated on the second floor of a building along Victoria Street (above Phantamania Penang); as you walk up the stairs, you will notice that the stickers are indicating that there's a drop in temperature. True enough, we felt the cold breeze blowing right smack to our face as we walked up. Soon, you will arrive at the entrance to Ice Cafe that resembles castle door. Push the door open and you will find yourself in a magical land of ice with igloo, ice bed, and everything cold but they are real though, those are just for decorative purposes. While it did indicate that the temperature was around 10 degree Celsius, we did not think it was that cold, probably a little lower than 20 degree Celsius. The entrance to Ice Cafe is free but visitors are expect to at least order a drink or icy treat during the stay at the cafe.
It was late into the night when i was there at Boston Coffee so i decided to have some fruits juice instead of coffee for a quality night sleep, haha ! The Watermelon just is also just average but its thirst-quenching. Other than these food and drinks, there are also some cakes if you want to have something light to eat.
Malus Chic Domestica has a more interesting flavor combo- roast Chicken Thigh served with Apple sauce and a side of Deep Fried Apple as well as greens. Like the earlier dish, the Chicken was overcooked with a dry and rough texture. The flavor combo was something like Turkey with Cranberry sauce... sweet and savory. Not too bad but can be better.
Good vibe, good cause. To celebrate 7 July the Heritage of Georgetown, Ciao Gelato is doing a charity ride for 20 first customers that purchase the Gelato or Sorbet, they are entitled to a free ride of Trishaw in the Georgetown area. Ciao Gelato is the new Gelato shop in town that serves fresh and delicious Gelato and Sorbet. This is a nice place to chill and recharge.
I will definitely come back to Zhen Shi Shen again for their Shi Shen Misua and at the same time trying out other food.
You can choose to have the Shi Shen Misua (thin noodle), Shi Shen Tao Qiam (bean strip) or the Shi Shen Bihun (rice noodle), priced at RM7.80 for a medium size and RM11.80 for a large serving.
Here's the location.
The hot Hor Ka Sai (RM 5.90) we had was not impressive. Not only the coffee tasted bland, the expected smell from the cocoa powder was missing too. Usually, Hor Ka Sai possess a delicate Nestum powder smell, which was noticeably absent too.
No visit at Kin Kao is complete without ordering the specialty baked seabass dish: fresh seabass baked in banana leaf with chili paste and herbs served garnished with local vegetables. Priced at RM58.80, the fish exuded the distinct taste of lemongrass and turmeric. It was enticing and we particularly enjoyed the fish wrapped in the accompanying vegetables.
The place is small but has comfortable seating place If you choose to sit on the upper deck, then you might have to climb up on the small ladder.
We did not want something heavy so we had some lighter options- the Sauteed Mushrooms With Bread was delicious... lightly seasoned fresh Button Mushrooms served with a couple pieces of buttered rustic Toasts. Those who enjoy the earthiness of Mushrooms would fall in love with this dish, ideal for both snacking or as a light main dish.
There is also the comforting Kimchi Rice prepared with mozzarella cheese. Flavorful and creamy, the dish is enriched with a fried egg and vegetables.
Long Cha Guan's Nasi Lemak seems to be very popular. Served using a bamboo steamer, the Nasi Lemak Rendang Chicken set consists of a Rendang Chicken Thigh, sunny side up, Fried Anchovies, home-made Sambal and some crisp Crackers. The Rendang was nicely cooked... beautiful flavors and would spoon over rice perfectly. But the Chicken was slightly overcooked with a dry, hard texture. The Sambal was not too shabby either... with a discernible sweetness. The dish would be perfect if the Chicken was more tender
For sharing, the Pla Kapong Sam Road is a huge dish with deep fried Seabass served with sweet and spicy sauce... as well as heaps of crunchy vegetables like Cucumber, Onions and Chilies. It does not sound very Thai but the flavors were well-balanced and perfectly spooned over rice.
Indian-inspired Sweet & Sour Chicken is one of the latest creations... basically grilled Chicken Thigh served atop of Japanese Rice and Sweet-Sour sauce. The combination of Japanese Rice and well-grilled Chicken Thigh speaks for itself. The Chicken was good on its own... perfectly tender and juicy; the Japanese Rice was well-executed either. We did not however, enjoy the Sweet-Sour sauce, we thought it was way too sweet to our liking. The 'Sour' factor somehow went missing and it was saccharine sweet to dip the Chicken into the sauce.
The traditional Fuzhou red wine chicken 福州特制红糟鸡 with mee sua (white wheat noodles) is a well-loved option. The main ingredient of the dish is red rice wine. Cooked together with ginger and chicken, the rich wine broth will have you slurping until the last drop. Slightly alcoholic, the reddish color dish keeps the body warm.
Traditional-classic Foo Chow delights are not common in Penang's food scene, at least not ubiquitously found in any hawker centers but one particular coffee shop in town has been dishing out Foo Chow delicacies for years. Right smack in town, Cowboy Street Cafe is a stone's throw distance away from the famous mural art paint at Armenian Street. Foo Chow classics basically make up the menu, along with some localized Western dishes and nibbles but the price points are slightly above average (imagine Koay Teow Th'ng with Foo Chow Fish Balls at Rm 10). Hefty price tags but if you in dire need to satiate your craving for Foo Chow dishes, this is the place you should go.
Reasons to visit Awesome Canteen Penang: a good base menu of tasty and healthy dishes – don’t miss the sweet potato fries and key lime pie; charming space; an inspiring omakase menu ideal to be enjoyed with a group of friends over a leisurely afternoon.
Overall, the food is quite nice.
Situated in Sekeping Victoria, Awesome Canteen is a unique place for hangout.
Penang is famous for its Peranakan culture, particularly the well-known Baba Nyonya community. Established in 1933 as a kuih-specializing factory, Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Koay expanded to include a storefront in 2016, showcasing a remarkable commitment to Nyonya kueh.
Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Kuih has earned the prestigious Bib Gourmand status in the 2023 Michelin Guide KL and Penang list.
Moh Teng Pheow Nonya Koay was where we headed for our fix of Nonya Kuehs. Having visited Jason’s Nonya House and still craving for Nonya fare, we found Moh Teng Pheow Nonya Koay a popular venue for koahs such as Kueh Lapis, Kueh Talam and Kueh Bengka.
The savouries (i to iv, vii) were really interesting, in particular i, iii and iv. II was really pretty too. Overall an interesting fusion experience, with much Indian influence.
Their tasting menu mainly revolves around the produce-driven concept, to recreate nostalgic flavours using bold innovative cooking methods.
Reasons to visit Communal Table by Gen 根: inventive contemporary Malaysian cuisine; serious portions that are perfect for sharing; highly recommend gourmets from the globe pay a visit
The name "Tok Tok" originates from the onomatopoeic sound a chef makes while kneading noodle dough with a bamboo pole, a tradition still observed at the entrance of this establishment.
The taste of the wantan mee are almost the same as before despite the chewiness of the noodle not as much and the gravy is more starchy. As for the Char Hor Fun, the taste is packed with wok aroma.
