Hey guys hehe.. I know it's been way too long since I last updated but just please try to understand that I have a lot to cope with in my real life. Another thing is that because this blog started out as a private, personal blog, I feel rather idle to come up with a schedule for my blog posts. I find that I have a higher tendency to update during holidays, so here I am, updating you guys on what I have eaten for the past few months in 2016.
I had this bak kut teh meal during lunchtime with my family. We went there because we purchased Groupons, where they have super awesome deals for food and everything. To be honest, I am not a huge fan of bak kut teh but I still love how the yam rice tastes together with the herbal soup. The thing I like the most in bak kut teh would most probably be the meatballs. And oh my God, garlics compliment the smell of bak kut teh seamlessly. Overall, it was a satisfying meal!
I love going to The Cruises Steak House, especially on Saturday nights! Apart from the lovely ambience and the woody theme going on, I really love their live band performance. My favourite food to have there is escargot, which is basically snail. Don't get me wrong, I don't like to eat snails in particular, but I guess I just couldn't resist anything that is cheesy and creamy .__. Despite them being snails, they are still surprisingly tasty.
Despite being a Penangite myself, I wasn't aware that there is such a place where you can have a RM5 steamboat. But yes, it's true, this meal just costs RM5! It is a restaurant in Komtar, Penang. I have forgotten the name of the dining place, but I think you would easily locate it just by asking the people around "Where is the restaurant that serves RM5 steamboat?" Haha.. I wouldn't say that it is very spetacularly delicious, but it's a good place to just sit, chill, pop in the food into the wok and have a good chat with your friends.
This is something that my friends and I decided to try because of the crowds. After trying these, I have to say that I am rather disappointed. I think it costs around RM6 if not mistaken (it's been awhile so I have forgotten, but it was sure not something cheap/reasonable). We were wondering what the little bits were, when we found out that they were just some junk food that we used to always have when we were kids with some chocolate and strawberry syrup poured all over them. The selling point was that the guys selling these sprayed some kind of nitrogen gas onto these biscuit/junk food. I must admit that the gas made it looked very impressive. When we ate it, we can feel a cooling sensation in our mouth, resulted from the nitrogen gas or whatever it is. Anyway, I don't think it's worth the money. One of my friends were actually scared that she might be intoxicated by the gas hahaha..
My family and I actually planned to go to The Lawn Cafe, which was a new cafe in the town that everyone was raving about, but ended up filling our tummies at their CNY party/celebration. The best thing was - THE FOOD ARE FREE OF CHARGE! FOC! It was mind-blowing that they didn't just simply serve some random food, Sangkaya was even there and I think my jaw dropped to the floor. Come on guys, it's the Sangkaya that we are talking about - the one that sells four scoops of ice-cream for RM10 something. Of course, we lined up to get one for ourselves immediately! I think that the party is really amazing because they don't only serve our everyday food, but also some traditional Chinese food such as 龙须糖 (as shown in the picture on the lowest left). I have also discovered my new love there - curry fishballs. At first I wasn't even expecting anything from that, simply because I have had curry fishballs before previously when eating Curry Mee but these were of premium quality. High standard fishballs/curry (?) Haha.. I don't know but I was so hooked up with them. I just can't get enough.
Although we didn't manage to go to The Lawn Cafe (because they had free food and it was so cramped in the cafe), I still had to take a picture of it because it was so stunning at night.
Hahaha.. Don't get confused. My dad brought us to The Lawn Cafe later, which was on an entirely different day from the last time we visited there. Their beverage was okay and their cake.. Jeez.. I couldn't remember how it tasted like but I think it was okay.
What a manly pose as compared to most of the people who grabbed the bunch of flowers and sat on the back of the bicycle in front of the cafe and took a picture of themselves .__. Sidenote: Really love the choker OMG I don't think I rock chokers but I still wear them because I love how edgy and rebellious the whole look is when the pieces are put together.
This place was all over on Instagram, so I just had to go haha.. Surprisingly it was attached to a motel called Reunion Heritage House. I entered through the frontdoor that looks like a backdoor because there was a narrow passageway that lead us all the way to the opposite end of the building, where we can finally have our Nitrogen Ice-Cream! Sze Chyi was quite skeptical that we were at the right place at first, but then when we saw the pretty cafe, all her worries faded away. The cafe was decorated sumptiously and every little details of the decorations were taken care of. I could spot quite a few Instagram-worthy cornors to take photos right away!

I was recommended by Aina to have Bingsu at Caffebene since I wanted to have my sweet tooth treated. Although Bingsu is quite famous in Korea, I don't think that I would have another one again because to me, it basically tastes like shaved ice. Something like ice kacang but with more nuts and with a different flavour (in this case, its green tea). The cons of having a Bingsu is that it is definitely too large for a person to finish it all by himself and also the lack of taste of it (I just tasted ice mostly). Imma just give it another go the next time and order Oreo flavour. If my favourite flavour/biscuits/... couldn't win me over, then I think Bingsu is just not for me I guess :3 *no offence to all the Bingsu lovers though heh*
Finally, here is a compilation of the cheesecakes I have had over the past few months. I think the only true love is the love between cheesecake and me. Right there and then, it was real chemistry hahaha.. Passion fruit cheesecake, Hanjuku cheesecake and Triple decker cheesecake. The Hanjuku cheesecake costs about RM4++ and I only ordered it despite being a broke college student only because Aina strongly recommended me to have it. The cheesecake is a little pricey because it was so small that you could finish the whole thing in one bite. I would rather get a whole cheesecake for RM21 at Uncle Tetsu's, which has similar texture to the Hanjuku cheesecake. But to be fair, it does taste divine! Love the fluffy texture and how it melted in my mouth.
Okayy.. so this is the story of my guilty pleasure. I have a strong feeling that my sin are not just gonna stop here haha. Anyways, happy holiday to those who are having your holiday! And to those who aren't, good luck and all the best in everything. Till next time.
Ta.
