As the yr destination vacation approaches, at that topographic point is no meliorate fourth dimension to cafe hop. The neighborhood of Relau/ Bayan Baru continues to grow; the novel evolution correct beside sPICE too Olive Tree Hotel is right away ready, Arang Coffee is alongside the commencement few tenants moved in. We'd in all probability facial expression a few food-focused shops opening too inside a walkable family-dense residential population (Ideal too Elit Avenue); this identify is definitely ane of the interesting places to watch inward this growing neighborhood. While Arang Coffee is soon inward their soft-launch state, their bill of fare is non quite railroad train yet. On our visit, at that topographic point were alone 3 options available: Garden Salad (Rm 9), Grilled Chicken too Cheese Sandwich (Rm 18) too Seafood Aglio Olio (Rm 26). The airy too pleasant interior decor is industrial-influenced with a playful element- caged charcoal hanging inward the air... but I justice that fits in... for their refer "Arang" (which literally way Charcoal inward Malay). To notice the place, follow the road just to Olive Tree Hotel, you lot should locomote able to encounter it spell turning into the top dog entrance of the hotel.
Not besides certain if it was Squid Ink Pasta or Charcoal Pasta (no hint of Squid though) but they presented their Seafood Aglio Olio (Rm 26) similar a slice of art- coiled too graced with Squid too Shrimps. The Spaghetti was deftly cooked to the correct texture too reasonably seasoned. It carried a hint of garlic with a sleek spiciness. The seafood was alright (though non spectacular) too the flavor combo was amazing but nosotros persuasion the cost tag was rather steep for the portion. My concern: I am non besides certain if Penangites are willing to pay Rm 26 for this dish.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 pretty toast-centric dish- Grilled Chicken too Cheese Sandwich (Rm 18); it was a permit downwardly that Arang Coffee uses ordinary White Toast to sandwich the filling. They did non handle to larn the texture quite right, the Toast was besides sparse too did non possess the fluffy-soft texture that a commons artisan breadstuff would possess. I persuasion it was a lackluster. The Chicken too Cheese filling on the other hand, was delectable. We acknowledged their generosity too the sum of Cheese was correct on the point (not besides salty nor cheesy that it overshadows the poultry). We would also similar to commend on their home-made Fries; they were crispy too were nicely done sans the greasiness. They made a lovely side to the Sandwich. They volition postulate to brand around refinement to their bread, sourdough mightiness locomote a skilful idea.
