Shervone Cakes, Pulau Tikus

  Some of you might have been to Shervone at Krystal Point, Bayan Lepas but now there is a new outlet at Pulau Tikus opposite Tan Mark Book store. Three weeks old.

I had the priviledge of tasting a variety of coffee, cakes and chocolates, not to mention the delectable main courses. It's a very decorated place, being a cake house, coffee and cafe all in one.

The highlight of their coffee is the DIY concept, make your own coffee using the Arissto Premium Coffee brand. I will upload a video on how latte is done with Arissto coffee maker soon.

My Latte

The first dish that was served to us was their Briyani Spice Rice with 1/4 Chicken. We all enjoyed the dish as the chicken was tender with added spices and cashew nuts. Being the typical Malaysian we all are, we requested for more gravy and we enjoyed it even more. Salad at the side made it all a balanced meal.

The new signature dish, Heng Penang Laksa,a recipe that was handed down by Mr. Yo's grandmother was my favourite of all. The laksa had all the right spices, with lots of shredded fish and the 'hae ko'(shrimp/prawn paste) was placed in a bottle for us to pour the amount we want. The soup is thick and has the right sour to it.

Note: Heng Penang Laksa is only served on weekends

Something I would love for breakfast, the Panini Wasabi Salmon. I sliced and I dipped  my wasabi salmon into the egg and then put all into my mouth. The combination was supreme. That's how I ate my Panini Wasabi Salmon with eggs. By the way, I love eggs and I eat them everyday. 

They also have a wide variety of their hand made chocolates. The most bizarre flavour would be curry banana choc( its the brown rockish look chocolate on your far left) which was surprisingly tasty in its unique way. The other one that I liked was the strawberry as the chocolate is white chocolate,it seems to go well with the strawberry fillings. Mind you, I usually don't like strawberry flavoured things. So this was good to me.

Then comes the cakes and the best for me out of the three goes to Carrot Cake. : )

I would love to visit another time to try other chocolate and cheese cakes. Yum!

Thanks to Sharon( lovely lady in the pastel color dress), wife of Mr. Yo in serving and letting us in to a bit of history. A friendly lady always at your service. The  girl(top left)who served us chocolates is a part time server who was very helpful that day. All the best to your studies in TAR. : )

Finally we have Mr. Yo, the cake designer/chef, the main man in this shop. He mentioned that they also have ice cream cakes and 3D cakes that we can order. On top of that, Sharon has told us that they have party event planning as well and they are collaborating with Party Fete. So if you have birthday celebrations coming up, do drop in and have a chat with them.

I wish to fly!!! :P

Hainanese Delights, 1926 Hotel, Penang

Hainanese Delights is situated within 1926 Heritage Hotel along Burma Road.  As you enter the lobby area, the restaurant will be on your right.

Besides the hainanese dishes and some nyonya type of dishes, there is something different in a cuisine like this that I will highlight.

They have pies, chicken, lamb and macaroni pies. My godbro ordered a large chicken pie(see below) and it was pleasantly tasty as the cream, eggs amd chicken are all tasty altogether. The crust is soft as well but I'm not too fond of mixed vegetables, other than that, I enjoyed it.

The rest of what we had are shown in the pictures below. Quite similar to nyonya food but not as many spices in it. Their website which is given at the bottom of this post, has their menu in .pdf format that you can download. Very informative indeed.

Inner Mongolia Steamboat, Kuala Lumpur

Kuchai Lama Entrepreneur Square has an array of cafes and restaurants. We were there just for a few days for a conference therefore insufficient time to explore the many attractive eateries.

Now, an interesting cuisine I have never experienced, a Mongolian cuisine. Managed, cooked and served by Mongolians. Inner Mongolian brings our tastebuds to another level.

It's based around a steamboat menu but you can choose other main dishes and delicacies such as shown in the menu in later part of the post.

The lamb cube is tasty, a little hard for me that day. Although it looks dry but it isn't and nice to chomp on.

Spicy beef tendons is spicy but for typical Malaysians, I doubt it's an issue. Beef was tender although with the tendons. Good to try.

Kelp Silk Salad was nice for some of my friends, as for me its sort of rubbery but the sauce,  the coriander and others was what I enjoyed.

The three bowls of homemade noodles that we ate, we liked two out of three.

The menu does not give details so you would have to ask the servers.

Mongolian Lapir

There were some that's not in the menu and honestly because of my incompetency to speak Mandarin, my friend who does did the ordering and communication.  I got lost in translation. Pardon me! Anyway the two dishes below were superb. The dumpling dish is basically like siu long pau and coupled with the soup and veg, its delicious.

This fried dumpling is crispy on the outside and soft inside. An enjoyable dish indeed as starters or dessert.

We didn't fancy the milk tea because we are just not used to the taste. I believe some of you would probably like it.

We were getting to know the proprietor and its customs and that resulted in me wearing their traditional costume. It's a bit bulky because I just wore it over my existing clothes. 

Overall,  I really enjoyed the food!

Ye Wei Vietnamese Restaurant

Ye Wei vietnamese restaurant is located at Transfer Road, an easy spot to find along the road. Parking is quite easy as you turn into the road right before the restaurant. 

This place sells a pretty wide range of local Vietnamese dry foods as well as their coffees. We wanted to try their vietnamese dishes and because we were in a long table setting, some dishes were divided into smaller plates thus the photo taking as such.

The vietnamese rolls never fail to disappoint me nor the egg omelette.

The fried chicken and fish tasted normal like a usual Chinese dish. However the brinjal dish is delectable and usually I'm not a fan but for this I am.

The tea was not in the menu but upon request,  Ah Hong the owner obliged us and made us their homemade tea . The wife is a vietnamese and was busy cooking in the kitchen. 

The place is non air conditioned so dress casually to enjoy the meals. Prices are reasonable.

Coffeeric, Queensbay Mall

Coffeeric, one of the newest member to the coffee cafe community in Penang founded by brother and sister Eric and Kim.

The woody base of the cafe with creative choices of furnitures and decorations makes it quaint and comfortable. Just nice to take a break from after running some shopping errands.

Cakes and drinks in bottle 

More spaces for the coffee lovers outside

Plenty of Coffeeric H20 around and so nice to receive complimentary biscuits . Don't be surprised if you happen get it too.

Latte and Chocolate Frappe was thick and rich of its taste. Sugar not needed for coffee unless you prefer it a little on the sweet side. Chocolate lovers would love Chocolate Mousse
