:: Namoo Korean Dessert Cafe ::

As a Korean fans, I'm in love everything about Korean (한글), from the language to the culture to the drama to the places to the food! I love them completely. I will go for all the Korean food available in town, try everything of them. :) 

Not long ago, there is this Korean food cafe opens in Gurney Plaza, Penang. No doubt, I will of course visit this place and immediately I'm in loved. :D 

Namoo Korean Dessert Cafe

We ordered something very special - Beef Rice Burger. This is soooo good! I love the Rice Burger as it was made from Mixed grains with seaweed, compressed it to a bun-like. It's hard to explain how good it was. =P 

Beef Rice Burger (RM 23.90)

Garlic Bulgogi Rice - it's a traditional Korean dish. But it's never a wrong choice. :D 

Garlic Bulgogi Rice (RM 20.90)

In this cafe, they serve all sort of very special drinks. Well, at least with all the special names that we might not know what is it until you really order them.

Milky HwaChe (RM 12.90)

It's a lovely place. I'll definitely come again, and surely will introduce others about this lovely cafe. Look, they are so considerate. "There is a hook under the table to hang your bag"

It's written on the serviette ^^

An incredible experience to dine in this Fusion style Korean Cafe. You should try! ^^

:: Victoria Rossa English Tea Room ::

I always love English Afternoon Tea and this place I'm going to share here is listed as one of my favourite spots now. Today is not my first time, and definitely not my last time too. I will sure visit this place very often. Perhaps I will blog on the next time on other type of food or on any updates or new menu of this place. 

An Overview of Victoria Rossa English Tea Room

I love the deco of this place. It's such English style, and it feels like when you are dining here or having a cup of tea, you are dining like the Queen. :) 

The Front Area

Their pastries here like scones, butter cake, orange cake or Hershey's chocolate cake, are really good. I love their scones and orange cake. Yumms... 

Raisin Scone (RM 6)

Of course, cannot resist their flower tea too. Today I had a pot of Victorian's Blend - Tea of Julia (Chamomile with lemongrass). Very mild tea, a good choice for the day. Oh, you need to steep for 8 minutes. (Exactly, wait for the hour glass)

Victorian's Blend - Tea of Julia (RM 12/ pot)

My favourite main at Victoria Rossa is their Shepherd's Pie. Love it. Spiciness from the amountful of blackpepper. =D 

Old Style Shepherd's Pie (RM 19.90)

Their Old English Grilled Chicken wasn't my liking. Too much of thyme herbs. Tasted the herbs, and not the chicken. 

Old English Grilled Chicken (RM 26) 

They do serve special set for Lunch. For the environment, so the pricing considered quite okay.

Special Lunch Menu

Overall, this place is a very beautifully decorated restaurant, with the English twist. It's a perfect place for a peaceful afternoon tea, and also for a good girls' night out. 
They also caters for party as well.

:: Milo Double Chocolate Chip Muffins ::

I looovee baking muffins. :) Really really into muffins - a crazy fan. =P I'm going to share with you my favourite muffin recipe today! Everyone loves this. I love it, he loves it. Little bunny also loves it. =D

Delicious looking Milo Double Chocolate Chip Muffins

Actually muffins are easy to bake and most important thing is they are yummy. Remember, always minus off some sugar level and try substitute plain flour with wholewheat flour. It would be much healthier choice.
 

Look at those chocolate chips sticking out at the side! Yummss.....

Here's the simple recipe. This is an original recipe. You are welcome to decrease the sugar usage. I did. =)

Ingredients:
270g self-rising flour
30g Milo
1 teaspoon baking powder
55g butter
80g sugar
150g milk or semisweet chocolate chips
2 eggs, lightly beaten
225ml milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 200 deg C. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line with paper muffin cups.


2. Mix the flour, Milo and baking powder in a large bowl.


3. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.


4. Stir in sugar and chocolate chips.


5. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla extract. Pour the mixture all at once into the dry ingredients. Mix quickly until just blended. Do not over mix.


6. Spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan and bake for 20mins or until golden brown, and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.


7. Cool in the pan for 10mins then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy baking like I do!

:: The Little Nyonya Cuisine ::

This is not my first time here. I have been here a few times. Love the food they serve here. So, I have decided to pen it down this round. As from the name, you will know this place serves Nyonya Cuisine. If you don't know what is Nyonya about, you could always google it, or can just ask me. :)

An overview of what they have it here

Food over here are a little spicy.. erm okay, not little. Kinda a lot if for those can't even take one tiny bit of spiciness. Have some water by yourself if you can't. :)

Melaka Kapitan Curry Noodles (RM 8.80)

The flavours from the curry is such an Omph...

Tomyam Chicken Rice with Tomyam Soup (RM 10.80)

The chicken is tender, delicious with tomyam taste with it. The soup is not very satisfying though.

Indonesian Prawn Rice (RM 10.80)

Haha... don't ask me why they serve Indonesian rice here in this nyonya cafe here. I have no idea, seriously. But who cares, as the prawns curry is really good. Best to go with sambal.... walalala...

Bee Koh Moy ~ Black Glutinous Dessert (RM 3.80)

Surprisingly, this is good and with little sweet. A great option for those who are sugar-levels- watching eaters and would love to have some dessert after meal. :)

:: Delight Delicatessen ::

A new place in town - about a month old, this newbie in town serves Flame Broiled Mera Mera Chicken. If you are into Nando's Peri Peri Chicken, you can try out this place, as their secret recipe Mera Mera sauce, with a little localised flavour, could you give a big SURPRISE! 

Considered a big portion for their serving and lip-smacking taste, it's definitely worth your first time, your money and a guaranteed satisfaction. 

 They only serves 2 types of main course - Mera Mera Chicken and Spaghetti Bolognese. 
But don't worry, the Mera Mera Chicken is good enough. :) 

Mera Mera Chicken (Whole Leg Chicken + 2 sides)

The delight set comes with their homemade mushroom soup. Well, it's a thumbs up for the soup. "Forget the canned stuff, this is a LOT better" for the tagline, and they really MEAN it. :)

:: Beach Blanket Babylon :::

This cozy & romantic by-the-sea restaurant is within the premises of 32 Mansion, serving mainly western. With such a view, the environment point easily scored more than 80%. Just 2 concern if you are dining at night - i) chances of providing a charity "blood donation" to the flying friends, M; ii) it can be very warm during hot summer days. 

:: Overview of Beach Blanket Babylon ::

First time trying out this restaurant, and was there for His birthday. :)
The taste wise is excellent, and with the great taste, the pricing is considered expected.
