Love Nutrient Dark Door Java & Tea @ Arena Curve, Bayan Lepas, Penang.

If y'all are a serious Cronut fan, hence Black Door Coffee & Tea is your spot. The latest improver at Arena Curve, Bayan Lepas (opposite to Arang Coffee) serves upward about Cronut-related sugariness treats but that's non all, at that spot are an array of the green Cafe fare equally good equally about home-made pastries in addition to cakes. While the name- Black Door does pigment a motion-picture demo on the exterior, nosotros sure enough did non await the interior decor to live on inwards completely nighttime shade equally well. The atmosphere is casual amongst a feel of industrial vibe. But the fact that the cafe offers full-fledged menu- from appetizer to primary course of written report in addition to dessert hence for those who are working nearby (Bayan Lepas) or order to uncovering yourself wandering nigh the neighborhood, the cafe is worth-visiting. 



Charcoal Berries Cronut (Rm 15) amongst Haagen Dazs Ice Cream (Rm 3)


Black Door Benedict (Rm 18)

We were told that the Charcoal Berries Cronut amongst a scoop of Haagen Dazs Ice Cream is 1 of their best sellers; the extremely flaky Cronut was familiar... in all probability from the same supplier equally to most cafes inwards town but nosotros were also told that they brand their ain Berry sauce. The concoction was sugariness but the flavors were elusive. Together amongst the Ice Cream, it was sugariness amongst flaky-buttery aroma; non likewise shabby for a alter (in lieu of the conventional cakes) but non likewise sure if nosotros would desire to pay Rm xviii for that again. 

We were at that spot during tea fourth dimension in addition to nosotros wanted something light; their All Day Breakfast would adapt our requirement. Their Black Door Benedict, a Egg-Ben variant... has Ham, sauteed Mushrooms, greens in addition to poached Egg ladled over about home-made Hollandaise sauce. The combination was familiar but it was a allow downwards to uncovering the Egg slightly overcooked in addition to the Hollandaise sauce was non upward to par.... we'd stick to their Cronuts or perhaps... their home-made cakes (the appearance looks decent in addition to convincing, seen from the display fridge).
