Love Nutrient The Lilliputian Journeyman Cafe @ The Museum Hotel, Georgetown, Penang.

Even though the cafe is a picayune off the beaten track, it manages to attract a slap-up crowd e'er since its opening. But what's the line factor? Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 turophile powerfulness move able to relate. The Little Journeyman Cafe, a tenant inward The Museum Hotel, off Transfer Road in addition to correct smack inward town; offers a modest Western carte (with choices of Pasta, Toast in addition to Sandwiches) but people are attracted to i item dish- melted Raclette Cheese. The Swiss semi-firm salted Cheese is starting fourth dimension melted in addition to scraped on a serving of Potatoes; needless to say... that resonates across social media platforms. It may require extra try to notice the cafe, the outside is ho-hum in addition to the signage is modest but i time inside, it offers the criterion cafe-coziness. There are express numbers of tables in addition to chairs though then if yous are planning a catch on a Saturday, create brand certain that yous create got secured your seats.



Melted Raclette on Crispy Potatoes (Rm 25)

The Little Journeyman's signature melted Raclette on Crispy Potatoes caught us jolly excited amongst the melted goodies sliding downwardly at i time onto the crispy Potatoes. We dear the flavors- cheesey, buttery but non besides salty to taste. The only affair that discouraged us from eating was the greasiness of the dish. One would easily teach surfeited amongst the sum of Carbohydrates in addition to greasiness from this dish. We would prefer the Potatoes to move replaced amongst something else but dependent area to one's greasy-tolerance, to a greater extent than or less powerfulness notice this calorific dish fine. Alternatively, yous may opt to create got the melted Raclette added onto whatsoever dish at an additional toll of Rm 15. 


Salted Fish & Tuna Linguine Pasta (Rm 18)


Grilled Chicken & Mushroom Pasta Fettuccine (Rm 19)

We were impressed amongst The Little Journeyman's Pasta dishes. The Grilled Chicken & Mushroom Pasta Fettuccine may look bland at starting fourth dimension but they excelled inward the cream-sauce. It has a uniform consistency throughout- creamy, savory in addition to has a long-lingering, rich after-taste. The cleverly marinated Grilled Chicken Breast was surprisingly tender in addition to paired good amongst the cream-based Fettuccine. We were afraid that the dish may move a picayune monotonous in addition to powerfulness move a picayune besides heavy for i to complete only but this did non happen. 

Equally delicious was their Salted Fish & Tuna Linguine; al-dentely cooked Linguine tossed amongst Olive Oil, Salted Fish in addition to Tuna flakes, Shitake Mushroom, Capers in addition to a pinch of Chili flakes. It was i of those Aglio Olio-variant but non only inward a to a greater extent than creative manner, it was truly scrumptious. The salinity of the Salted Fish was perfectly balanced in addition to amongst a gentle heat, the dish suits our Malaysian palate well.


Matcha Toast (Rm 5)


Blueberry Jam Toast (Rm 5) amongst Rum & Raisin Ice Cream (Rm 5)

Just inward illustration a constituent of Pasta is non sufficient for those amongst big appetite... in that location are a few types of Toast available. We had Matcha Toast in addition to Blueberry Jam Toast; the old i was disappointing, it possessed a peculiar acidity (perhaps Sourdough Bread?) towards the terminate in addition to the distinctive green-vegetal Matcha season did non stand upward out. We topped a scoop of Rum & Raisin Ice Cream for the latter option, nosotros dear the Ice Cream, the flavors were amazing but nosotros did non mean value the Toast was good. It was disappointingly average; I'd personally prefer soft-fluffy Toast amongst crispy edges in addition to unfortunately, The Little Journeyman's belongs to the crispy-hard type.
