Penang Food Trail

I just got back from Penang yesterday evening! It was a good food trail, and boy was my stomach satisfied!

A sneak peak of my two days noms noms adventure! Reviews will take a while to be posted. Too many old back logs to clear!

Lorong Selamat Char Kueh Tiau


Been to Penang a gazillion times and finally found out how to go to the place.

Kek Seng Durian Ice Cream Ice Kacang


Had a hard time finding the place on the first day (never trust Google Maps!) but came upon it by accident the next day. Hehe.

New World Park Ice Kacang


Just beside where I was staying and pretty much made my friends had an overdose of Ice Kacang. Lol.

New Lane Night Market


Ordered too much that our table look like a buffet spread! :D

Famous Chicken Rice in Penang Road


On peak hours, you need to wait almost an hour for it! But I went on weekdays, at brunch hours so not much waiting. :P

Lebuh Anson's Dim Sum


If you want reasonable priced dim sum, this is the place to go. Opens from early morning till noon.

Loh Bak


We had it in numerous places and by the third day, we were quite sick of it. hahah.

Old Town Breakfast set


Also just next to the place I was staying. Needed a place to kill time while waiting to meet up with my friend.

And then there's leisure in the room! (100% clean leisure *cough*) It was movies , chips and some drinks.



Next day, we ordered Dominoes! :D



The puff pastry pizza isn't so great. Conventional is ze best!

And lastly, revising with beers.



Kidding, kidding. This didn't happen.

The bed was too comfortable so on both nights, I ended up falling asleep even before the movie ended. :)



Had heaps of fun! I'm now rejuvenated but...I am suffering from post-holiday syndrome. T.T

p/s : I will be based in Penang beginning June 2010. I'm looking for an accomodation so if you have any room to rent, please e-mail me at melanieong@gmail.com. Preferably a place in Sg. Pinang or any where nearby Komtar. Would be great if you have pictures (of the place, not the landlord. Lol) attached. Thanks!

Fruit Gelato

Gelato is actually Italian ice cream but i think here in Malaysia most places would use the word gelato instead of ice cream just to sound more cool. Well, gelato actually has lesser air than ice cream and hence making it more flavourful.



I sampled a lot of different flavours at the bar (because there were so much pretty colours) before settling down to the mango one. I can assure you they really do use 99% from the fruit tho' unlike many places who only claim so.


It's not very creamy and it's a bit slushy but it does give you the satisfaction of eating ice cream. A very good and healthy desert i would say.

Ice cream, Guilt no more!

* The fruit gelato is located in Mid Valley.

New Zealand Naturals

New Zealand (NZ) Naturals is an ice cream franchise from NZ. Something similar to Haagen Dazs and Baskin Robbins. They claim that their ice cream is made out of the best ingredients ;p



I had my virgin scoop at Bangsar Village just five minutes before they close the shop.

I love the varieties of colours and flavours they have. Truly an attraction ;p



Each scoop is priced at RM 6.50 of which i thought was pretty reasonable since the scoop was quite large.



Cool Bananas D'lite


I love it - i am a fan of banana flavour! There is nothing dirty about that statement, alright ? ;p

Toffee Caramel Cup


Nice butter-scottish-toffee taste but kinda too sweet for me.

If i were to compare with Haagen Dazs, this would win hands down. However if i would compare it with Baskin Robbins, this won't be the favourable one ;p
