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.
Here's the location.
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
