Two Breakfasts - Moontree47

Penang really needs more cafes of this sort. This cafe shows what real Penang is for the tourists. It is laid-back, original and yet exciting. Most of the furniture in this cafe are hand made by the owners to give the authentic sense. In my humble opinion, it is very well decorated, although none of furniture looks posh nor expensive. If I were a tourist to Penang, I would to stay in the rooms which this cafe will soon offer. 

It is a cool place to hang out and I will make a second visit soon.

This cafe is located at the middle section of Lebuh Muntri.

I just love this pair of chairs here.The wooden chair gives a nice contrast to the black leather chair. It would be more interesting if the Marilyn Monroe picture could be hung at the center but, again, I am not sure if the picture would take away the attention of these chairs.

The bacon sandwiches are good with reasonable price. Breakfast for two cost us RM26, including the milk and honey lemon.


I can't resist to shoot this hand washing area. Just look at the white basin!

KL Eats

lunch at 品香美食小馆 at Sungai Buloh. We had 滑蛋河 and fish porridge. This restaurant, or rather kopitiam, is famous of porridge, especially fish porridge. You will long queue during public holiday and you need to wait for your number.  

2nd day breakfast at one of coffee shops at USJ. As usual, I have wantan mee.

2nd day lunch at Madam Kwan's at Mid Valley Shopping mall. This time, I did not have the popular Nasi Bojari. I ordered the cheaper Nasi Lemak.

3rd day breakfast at one of coffee shops at Taipan USJ.

The Chee Cheong Fun here looks and tastes different from the one we have in Penang.

Tai Po Mee. Don't know what that is. I simply ordered it to try. It tastes like the Pan mee to me.

How did I welcome the first day of the year?

For me, it is nothing better than indulging myself in a honeycomb goldrush espreski and brownie with vanilla ice cream!

2011 is going to be awesome!



No complaint on the espreski!

However, the soft chocolate layer on top of the brownie was a little too thick. I still prefer the old brownie which Dome cafe used to serve. The brownie is best to be eaten with vanilla ice cream. Please request the restaurant to heat up the cake before serving.

Nyonya Kuih - Kuih Kochi

The first post of 2011 is about food. I love food, no doubt. My mother is very good at making kuih. Kuih is the Malay word for cakes or pastries. One of the kuih she is good at making is Kuih Kochi. It is a type of Nyonya kuih, I think, which is wrapped with banana leaf. The skin of kuih is made from glutinous rice with pandan flavored and the filling is made from grated coconut with palm sugar flavor. This kuih is best to eat when it is hot because the skin is more tender. 

Throwing in the filling.






The final product.

Just Heading Out

Just heading out for fresh air and also for food. It is weekend!



I love wantan and sui kao! There is only one stall in this coffee shop which is selling wantan mee. We gave it a try. The wantan mee is not too bad.

我該多做的一件事。

當我們長大了後， 我們陪媽媽的時間就越來越少了。

看著媽媽一天一天的老去，我經常都意識到我該多做的一件事就是陪媽媽吃一頓飯， 陪媽媽多一點。

幾個星期六前，家裡只有我和媽媽吃午餐。 然後，我就帶了她去靠近碼頭的一檔著名的牛肉麵吃午餐。

那牛肉麵一碗RM7.00

那杯新鮮較成的荳蔻水一杯RM2.50.

牛肉麵的湯頭還不錯！

A Saturday morning

Based on a good friend's photos, we decided to hunt down this restaurant. Finally we found this good hang-out place. We came here for breakfast last Saturday morning. That was the second time we visited this restaurant within a week. It is a good place to spend your Saturday morning! Our Saturday morning there was drizzling and sunny. Perfect weather and breakfast! I just wished time passed slower when I was there but I knew that was impossible. Anyway, I will be there again!

主，多謝袮的引領和安排！

粿條與雞

檳城有很多美食，尤其是路邊的小食。
可是，這裡的美食也是要花一些時間和精力去尋找的。
那些好吃的小食檔往往都是‘躲’在那不起眼的角落或轉角處。
幸虧，女友是一位‘好吃’之人。尋找美食對她來講不是一件難事。
這一檔的粿條湯和白斬雞就是她介紹的。
粿條和白斬雞入口香甜順滑。湯裡還有特製的肉丸，好彈口喔！
值得一吃！

粉紅星期三

星期三是粉紅色的。
我好像沒聽過。
可是這一天， 我們卻不約而同地穿著粉紅色的上衣。
那天，我從收音機聽到 Baskin Robbin 的廣告。
每個星期三，只要你能顯示你身上任何一件粉紅色的物件，你就可以用一個scoop的錢買兩個scoops的 ice cream. 只限junior scoop 而已。
我們就興致勃勃地買了四個scoops的ice cream.
快樂到好像小孩子般吃著我們所喜愛的口味的兩個scoops。

現在， 我想了一想，如果星期三是粉紅色的， 哪星期五呢？

Great time does not need a lot of preparation.

Yummy-ly cheap!

Heard of this yam rice quite a while ago.

Yesterday, I finally got the chance to try it during lunch.

My 'review'...It is cheap and yummy!

I bet you can't find something similar at the same price on Penang island.

Yam rice. The main target!

Sour fishballs soup with sliced pork.


Braised tau kua with eggs.

Yesterday dinner. Again, the dishes were cheap and yummy!. We ordered 4 dishes with steamed rice. On the left, home-made fried tau kua, Fried fish fillet with sweet and sour sauce at the center and prawn curry on the right. 1 more dish is normal stir-fried veggie. The bill came up to be only RM36.50. Cheap, isn't it?

Well, what is the best thing to do when you have no plan for the long weekend?

Makan lo.
