Possibly the entirely identify inwards Alma that you lot tin discovery hand-crafted Soft Serve; the newly opened Born xvi Soft Serve is potentially 1 of the best spots for you lot to quell the sultry tropical heat. The Ice Cream parlor is housed inwards 1 of the houses correct inwards forepart of the AEON Mall Bukit Mertajam in addition to tin last easily spotted from the master copy road. The interior is uncomplicated in addition to no-frills; alongside a simple, straight-forward in addition to small-scale carte on the offer- Waffles or Soft Serve (or both). 

Waffle alongside Lychee Soft Serve (Rm 13)

Smoky-Strawberry Soft Serve (Rm 8)

It's worth sticking to the Soft Serve, their home-made Waffles proved to last a trivial difficult to the bite, sans the much coveted crisp in addition to build clean texture. Born 16's felt a trivial likewise chewy in addition to difficult to our liking. Only ii flavors (for Soft Serve) were available on our visit- Strawberry in addition to Lychee. Both flavors were alright but the Lychee season was bolder than Strawberry; likewise strong that it felt a trivial artificial. Strawberry on the other hand, was alright but a trivial likewise prophylactic in addition to disappointingly average. To stand upwards out inwards the trigger-happy grapple betwixt Ice Cream parlors inwards Penang, Born xvi needs to come upwards out alongside to a greater extent than creative offerings.

Love Nutrient Omakase- The Autumnal Pleasance Past Times Kampachi Japanese Eating Seat @ Equatorial Hotel Penang.

An Omakase Japanese repast literally agency dishes carefully selected past times the Chef, the norm is that the Chef volition serve the nearly fragile dishes using the finest too freshest ingredients that he/she could source. The dining sense volition cause got you lot on an extraordinary gourmet journeying too it is non alone the nearly traditional way to relish Japanese repast but the nearly posh too luxurious every bit well.

The bill of fare items typically focus on the in-season offering too consist of dishes prepared from the freshest ingredients presented inwards their nearly natural states. All ingredients are air-flown too imported from Japan.

Many Thanks to Hotel Equatorial Penang too Kampachi for hosting us that evening.

Zensai/ Appetiser

The time period of the Omakase was expertly designed; nosotros started off amongst a platter of Zensai which comprises of a few elements but the Tai Shimoguri/ Red Snapper-Belly Sashimi was especially outstanding. It was served inwards a petite part but the flavor was non compromised. The seafood-sweetness genuinely speaks for itself. The dish was served amongst a pocket-size dollop of Momiji Oroshi, grated Daikon Radish too Chili Peppers... the colouring resembles the shades of Autumn. Equally tasty was the Morokyu/ Cucumber served amongst Moromi Miso; it was a dish that lacked the artistic affect but the flavors were amazing. The salinity of the Miso was location on but the fragrance was of a novel height; the crunchy seize amongst teeth of the Cucumber enhanced instead of overshadowed the fragile Miso. Other items on the plate included Kurumi-Konago/ Walnut-Tiny Fish, Salmon Maki, Seafood marinate.

Osuimono- Dobinmushi

Sashimi Moriawase

The Dobinmushi clearly defines "comfort", Hamachi fish was used every bit the heart ingredient for the soup. The soup contained inwards a Tea Pot was steamed for hours to fully accentuate flavors of the Sea, together amongst roughly Seafood- Shrimps too in-season Mushrooms. For this round, Kampachi used Matsutake, a type of premium Mushrooms too every bit a result of that, the soup was sugariness (from the Seafood) amongst a discernible earthiness. Move on to Sashimi Moriawase, the Chef serves roughly of the best cuts available- Salmon, Hamachi, Tuna, Mackerel, Squid too Prawn. Needless to say, all were lip-smacking.

Yakimono- Sanma

Beef Tenderloin Shiokara

Shokuji- Sushi

The next dishes were every bit goodness every bit expected. The Grilled Sanma was alright but the existent depict of the dish was the freshly grated Daikon Radish, the sweetness was of a novel league too it was nearly delicious to travel eaten amongst the fish. Their Beef Tenderloin Shiokara on the other hand, was jaw-droppingly good. The Beef was meticulously cooked to the correct doneness- beautifully charred on the exterior but rest juicy too succulent inside. It was lightly seasoned but the whole sense was overwhelming. How nosotros wishing the part could travel larger. 

The highlight of the dinner- Sushi comes amongst extravagant raw fish inwards transcendent bite. It consisted of Aori Ika, Salmon Belly, Anago/ Sea Eel too Negi Toro Maki. The subtle, melt-in-the-mouth morsel volition convince whatever Sushi devotees. If you lot must know, i item that specially hitting us was Negi Toro Maki/ minced flavored obese Tuna Seaweed Roll.

Dessert- Homemade Pumpkin Ice Cream

The repast ended amongst a sugariness banker's complaint from their home-made Pumpkin Ice Cream, a sugariness but creamy concoction amongst existent bits of Pumpkin. The milky flavor stood out too perhaps, a footling besides overwhelming that the Pumpkin flavor was subdued. It did lay a goodness terminate to the repast nevertheless.

Love Nutrient Jia Shi Eating Theater (家式饭店) @ Lembah Permai, Tanjung Bungah, Penang.

One of the easiest ways to divulge goodness local eats is to follow the crowd, particularly when the house is tucked inwards the residential neighborhood or off the track. We were succumbed to the large together with seemingly inviting facade of Jia Shi Restaurant (家式饭店). The Chinese eating seat at Lembah Permai has never failed to attract a non bad crowd particularly during weekends; the card is huge together with has everything that suits all historic current groups. The heat-intolerant tin forcefulness out opt to dine-in at the fully air-conditioned room piece those who prefer a to a greater extent than outdoorsy ambiance could opt to sit down at the al-fresco dining area, facing the serene dark-green park. The service is brisk together with prices are reasonable, we'd definitely honey to provide more- hold upward it a casual household unit of measurement dinner or for a special occasion (with the family).

Stir Fried Egg alongside Shrimp/ 虾仁夹蛋 (Rm 9/ small)

Eggplant Bean Curd/ 茄子豆腐 (Rm 14/ small)

Steamed Grouper Fish/ 清蒸石斑鱼 (Rm 78/ past times weight)

Spices were used modestly here, alongside an emphasis on using the freshest ingredients to convey out the amount flavors. We honey the simplicity of Stir Fried Egg alongside Shrimp- the Prawns carried minimal seasoning but bursty together with succulent texture, blanketed alongside sheets of soft-pillowy Egg; served alongside premium Soy sauce. The soft-boiled Egg alongside Soy sauce is hands downwards the perfect dish to spoon over rice. Egg Plant Bean Curd may appear uncomplicated but the flavors were big. The existent depict of the dish was the bits of Dried Shrimp that underlie the savory seafood essence. 

If you lot are inwards a celebratory mood, campaign bespeak for their daily catch. We had their Steamed Grouper Fish, which was expertly done. The flesh was perfectly steamed alongside a meaty notwithstanding polish texture, perfectly complemented past times the sweetness premium Soy sauce. Other options (on our visit) available were Marble Goby, White Pomfret etc.

Oyster Noodles/ 蚝面 (Rm 7/ small)

Braised Noodles alongside Prawns/ 明虾焖面 (Rm 26/ small)

If rice is non your everyday staple, campaign their Noodle dishes. One of their signatures- Braised Noodles alongside Prawns was delicious. Lightly cooked Yellow Noodles existence stir fried alongside Ginger together with Spring Onions together with then Prawns, the savory noodles carried a sleek seafood sweetness together with irresistible aroma. It was best enjoyed alongside their sweat-inducing Sambal Belacan. 

Another alternative to the Braised Noodles alongside Prawns, campaign their Oyster Noodles. Unlike the conventional version, Jia Shi's comes inwards a dark hue; slightly sweeter than the common version together with carried a bolder nighttime Soy sauce flavor. We'd prefer the common version (without nighttime Soy sauce).

Love Nutrient Chapel Street Cafe @ Medan Lim Cheng Teik, Georgetown, Penang.

This curious black-painted edifice inwards the neighborhood (of Medan Lim Cheng Teik) looks severe, peculiarly amongst a minor signage, the suspense gets stronger. Step inwards the cafe in addition to you lot volition last enwrapped inwards a heavy metallic room (in shades of dark in addition to white) amongst jail door in addition to reddish bricks, the industrial vibe hither inwards bold. The two-week one-time cafe has an average-small carte du jour but given that they are all the same new, the house is worth a instant look. Medan Lim Cheng Teik is a minor route off Kelawei Road; from Burmah Road (pass past times Gleneagles Hospital) to Kelawei Road, brand a left plow to the starting fourth dimension junction to your left. Go straight off in addition to you lot volition bring out Chapel Street Cafe correct inwards front end of you.

Lazy Breakkie (Rm 25)

Scrabby Toast (Rm 12)

Chapel Street's offering is small; nosotros had the solely 2 substantial items- Lazy Breakkie in addition to Scrabby Toast. Both shared the only about similarities- sauteed Shitake Mushrooms, Cherry Tomatoes, Scrambled Egg in addition to Toast; both tasted identical but the deviation inwards prices was dreadful.... I paid an extra Rm thirteen for a mere Pork Sausage, 2 slivers of Bacon in addition to a minor bowl of chilled Baked Beans. Prices aside, the nutrient was disappointingly average. The Scrambled Egg lacked the buttery smell in addition to the Toast was besides dry out to our liking. It would last amend if they could serve us only about Butter. Both items lacked the "x" factor.

Love Nutrient Urban Spice Cafe @ Lebuh Aceh, Georgetown, Penang.

Urban Spice Cafe is ofttimes overshadowed yesteryear the neighboring mural paints too Poke Stops at the tourist-centric Armenian-Aceh Street zone or rather, the cafe remains low-key despite of its opening inwards early on 2016. The cafe is housed inwards a 8 decade-old heritage house; the outside looks dull too uninspiring but the interior suggests otherwise. The interior is chic yet, preserving the heritage elements. Minimal renovation was done to the heritage building, belike about touches to refine the menses pieces. On the menu, it challenges its competitors alongside the commons cafe fare- All Day Breakfast, Pasta dishes too locals delights but nosotros were surprised that it does non have the same form of attending that close cafes (with like menus) do; that does non hateful that Urban Spice Cafe isn't worth the see nevertheless. The house is close cozy too comfortable to get got a casual repast alongside friends or family.

Aglio Olio (Rm 18)

All Day Breakfast (Rm 22)

The card may seem big but zip is especially exciting. We cruel dorsum on the basic Aglio Olio, Urban Spice's rendition consists of piles of fresh Shitake Mushrooms too served alongside shredded Parmasan Cheese. The Spaghetti could live on to a greater extent than al-dente too the earthy season was besides bold to our liking... besides potent that it became repulsive. Seasonings were location on too well-spiced alongside a sleek peppery-hot sensation nevertheless. 

Perfect for weight-watchers, the All Day Breakfast comes alongside a foot-long Chicken Sausage, Sunny Side Up, Toast (with Butter) too about stir-fried Potatoes too Peas. It lacked the surprise factor, equally at nowadays too measure equally it seems.
