SiTigun at Nagore Street, Penang

After having a great time by the pool, we went to Si Tigun for a coffeebreak. I just knew that it moved to another shop in the same street. Now, it's situated directly opposite the Continental Bakery.

I like SiTigun concept they have with those wooden chairs n tables. I have the feeling of having a nice coffee in those old classic house..it has those distinctive architecture of the Peranakan culture.

You will sure feel relax and it's a great choice if you would like to have a nice place for friends or even family members for a good chitchat place...

Moreover, the lady boss were very friendly and the waiter are quite alert upon attending to our requests.

Our initial intention is to have the Tiramisu cake here. But, to our disapointment, the last Tiramisu cake was reserved by their customer...

However, they have nice coffee brew as well. I had the Cappuccino, so aroma..

We wouldn't want to miss any good cakes SiTigun serves there.

Thus, we ordered the Chocolate Mousse and also the Apple Pie with Vanilla ice-cream.

The Apple pie was so origin, it has a lot of apple fillings in it. The pastry was a bit crispy and hard mixed with the soft apple filling...It was a splendid combination with warm pie and cool ice-cream..Yum yum :p

I will sure go again for the Tiramisu cake on my next visit to SiTigun.

Found this from their website, their motto :

Paddington House of Pancakes

Had a great time at Paddington House of Pancakes at Queensbay after a satisfying shopping spree...

My friend had this Strawberry Pancake; layered with luscious peaches and those sweet strawberries..We could also top with some honey to dulcified the pancakes...;p

I like this Banana Pancakes. It has those slices of sweet bananas that combines with some shredded coconut which are a bit salty..It was mouth watering...believe me.

We can do the same thing; we can pour some honey on it as well..If you want something extra...

Trip to Pulau Aman

It was a year ago that a group of us would want to go over to Pulau Aman. Finally, i went there last weekend. We depart from the Jetty around 1030am. At first i thought we had missed the boat as i have checked the website the boat to Pulau Aman timing is 10am and the next trip is 1pm. And the thing is that the shcedule we saw from website was referring to weekdays.

For weekend, the trip will depends on the crowd.

We jumped into the boat..to our surprises when about to reach Pulau Aman, we saw that there was a school there, namely Sekolah Kebangsaan Pulau Aman. And it was quite a big building though.

Once reached Pulau Aman Jetty, we started to find ways to go around this small village. And it seems it has been a local spot now. They have this nicely printed map just on the pathway after the jetty towards the village.

We start our morning walk along the way; taking photographs. We are enjoying ourselves there. Having a feel of living in villages. There were small atap houses, small mini market, many houses where they do business as well-it became a coffee shop and also area where they prepare lunch for big families among them-there were big pots and pans and also big wok...

Along the pathway, we saw this nice atap houses. Here we saw a few teenagers resting in the houses, while we were having a good time taking nice photos...

Besides that, we saw some polytechnic school students had some activity there. They were having this process of removing the 'siput'...quite interesting and of course, be prepare your hand to be dirty and it sure stinks as well...:)

We found this area where people catch clams...

And what we did, we had a nice jumping shot here...hehe ;p

Then, after 1.5 hours of walking and jumping, we searched for our Mee Udang...

To our surprises, it was full house...We had to stand around tables to grab our seats..

After about 15minutes, we got our seats..and there we go, we had our order taken...

Here came our Mee Udang...Look quite nice but it was a very small portion...Only 3 pieces of the prawns and little portion of the noodles...

We ordered additional Koay Teow Goreng to share..It was quite yummy also..

This followed by a soothing coconut water...the young coconut flesh was nice though..having our great time there...

No worries on the boat ride as there have more rides during the weekend...

And after a satisfying lunch there, we headed back to the jetty..

Portofino Western Cuisine at Batu Feringhi

My friend recommend us to try out the lunch at Portofino, Batu Feringhi.

The entrance to this Portofino is just before the Tarbush Restaurant. Turn in to the entrance just before the Tarbush board. There's ample car park lots inside.

It was quite a niceplace though as we can view the beach side and also enjoying the sea breeze while dining there.

Chicken Kebab with the specialty rice...

Grilled Chicken with French fries and Salad..

The below is Beef Kebab..

It has various sauces. I like the Spicy Mint sauce and the Tamarind Sauce. It goes well with the Chicken Kebab and also the Grilled Chicken.

We enjoyed the sitting there enjoying chit chatting and watching all those sports activities by the beach. There's banana boat ride, jet skiing, parasailing....

You may enjoy leisure time with your friends for a drink during the night time after a brisk walk along the Night market at Batu Feringhi..

Butterworth Cafe

I was around Butterworth area and wonder where i can have a nice dinner. Make a call to my friend and she recommended me to go to this Butterworth Cafe.
Hard to find the cafe even though it's along the mainroad. We would target the St. Mark school as the landmark to find this cafe. It's next to the entrance of the St.Mark school.

First thing my friend did remind me to order the Tomato Soup, highly recommended by her.Yes, i agree with her..The tomato soup tasted really original, pure tomato which comes together with the garlic bread which was crispy hot..

I ordered the Chicken Maryland, one of their signature dish.

It was a good one...

My friend ordered the Grilled Salmon Fish dish..the black pepper sauce is nice though...

They do serves pasta, pizza and tiramisu cake...;)

As understood, this Butterworth Cafe was established since year 1958, and that time they used to have australian customers...

We can also book the cafe for a small event there or call for catering services as well...

It's has those classic environment...

Business Hours: 6:00 p.m. till 11:00 p.m. (Closed on Tuesday).

Weissbräu German Bistro & Bar at Straits Quay Penang-Part 2

This time we get to tried the german way of preparing pizza. It's the traditional alsatian flammkuchen, the original taste they had is sour cream and onions without mozzarella cheese.

Indeed it does satisfy our appetite, with some lightly marinated curried chicken cubes. The combination comes with a very thin hand tossed crust.

To accomodate some of the local people here, they so served pizza with an italian touch. Toppings are the same except it uses homemade tomato paste as the base with mozzarella cheese.

They prepared their new recipes which are not in their menu yet at this moment. It's our pleasure that we get the taste of it.

It's the Herb Sausage and Chili Sausage....a zesty flavoursome i would say..

The sausages were made using sheep casing which gives a compatible level of toothsome with the fresh pork which blend well with herbs. The rich aroma of the whole combination gives the satisfaction i'm looking for..And remember to eat it while it's HOT...!! It does make the difference..

After 1 bite...see...yummy yummy..

And to accomodate most of the Asian taste which most of us would prefer spicy stuff...thus, here comes the Chili sausages..Had the first bite, and you could feel the zesty hot taste in your tongue....however, the aroma of the meat and herbs are still there...

Next we enjoyed the Erdinger Weissbier. I've understood that Erdinger does call itself the world's largest wheat beer brewery. It's widely available and popular across Germany and the European Union.

I do enjoyed the Erdinger Weissbier, the fine and smooth taste of the beer is just splendid. Great to have this beer while having the sausages. It goes well...

The price is RM17.00++ (300ml) , RM29.00++ (500ml). Options: Tower or 2500ml is also available at RM135.00++

Lastly, the Dessert came..A good choice of dessert they have for us...

The Chocolate Mousse blended in VSOP for richness with Pear as the topping...

It's nice to eat it while it's chilled....superb dessert...

We had a great meal dining at Weissbräu...A Special thanks to Wayne and Denver for the hospitality..
