Love Nutrient Lollipop Ropitiam @ Campbell Street, Georgetown, Penang.

Kaya Butter Toast... a staple for the working shape inward the past times as well as less appreciated past times the younger ones correct now... in all probability eating Kaya Butter Toast alongside Half Boiled Egg is non equally glamorous equally having Egg Benedict for brunch. Also, the ambiance is frequently beingness compared. Lollipop Ropitiam is a immature excogitation that ventures into local nutrient culture; originated from Kedah, it seeks to offering something different- to render a comfortable infinite to savour their multifariousness of artisan Kaya Butter Toast (acclaimed). The card is an anthropological tape of the Hainanese-styled breakfast, featuring the Hainanese Brew equally good equally diverse condiments that larn alongside the Toast. The space, however, tin give the sack endure quite warm as well as stuffy inward the afternoon as well as thus the best fourth dimension to watch is in all probability morning. The Penang branch of Lollipop Ropitiam is situated at Campbell Street, a few doors away from Campbell House on the same street (near the junction to Cintra Street).

Lollipop Ropitiam is proud of their home-made Duck Egg Kaya, a posh variant to the green Kaya but something plant meliorate inward theory. Their Roti Stim Kaya Butter (Rm 3.30) did non care to print us. We idea the breadstuff was equally good sparse to our liking- soft as well as mushy inward lieu of fluffy. The thick slab of Butter overshadowed the fragrance of the Duck Egg Kaya, the solely matter that nosotros could discern was the sweetness. The breadstuff was alright, null exceptional if y'all enquire me. We bought a bottle of their home-made Duck Egg Kaya (Rm 4.90) equally well... merely to convey a gustatory modality of it. It turned out to endure a disappointment, it was rather watery alongside nary a hint of Kaya-fragrance. 

Polo Butter Bun (Rm 2.30)

Gong Ji Xia Dan/ 公鸡下蛋 (Rm 4.40)

Lollipop Ropitiam is proud of their home-made Polo Bun (again) as well as truthful enough, nosotros had to concur that it was meliorate than average but it was non something that nosotros would desire to larn all out merely to convey it. Just similar whatever Polo Butter Bun, nosotros had ours sandwiching a thick slab of Butter. It possessed a fluffy-chewy texture sheathed nether a crusty layer; sweetened but non overly as well as thus as well as alongside the melting Butter, nosotros idea it was quite toothsome. Gong Ji Xia Dan on the other hand, mightiness sounds playful but it was an ordinary Toast (perhaps mediocre?) spread alongside their home-made Kaya topped alongside 2 half-boiled Free Range Eggs. The Eggs were fine as well as null to shout out over; the Toast was a petty dry out as well as nosotros were non able to mop all the flowing Yolk. Unless y'all longed for such dish, skip this as well as convey others otherwise.

Love Nutrient Ah Gu Pan Mee (阿牛板面) @ Lorong Selamat, Georgetown, Penang.

Ah Gu Pan Mee is non the conventional Pan Mee house that serves Pan Mee inwards the neighborhood; it churns out atypical but lip-smacking flavors. If you lot intend Pan Mee tin entirely endure served amongst clear Anchovy broth or dressed inwards nighttime Soy sauce, intend again. Ah Gu, the Pan Mee specialist is creative at churning out Pan Mee... differently, some of the notable choices include Clams Pan Mee, Scallion Pan Mee as well as the never-out-of-fashion Pork Lard Pan Mee. Opened inwards less than a month, Ah Gu has garnered an appreciate following.

Scallion Pan Mee/ 葱油板面 (Rm 4.50)

Clams Pan Mee/  蛤蜊板面 (Rm 8.50)

Clams Pan Mee was a pleasant surprise, nosotros were caught inwards a whiff of boozy-Chinese vino smell when the dish was served to our table. The crystal clear broth amongst a handful of Clams swimming some was virtually toothsome, the seafood-sweetness tin endure easily recognized. Flavors were build clean as well as slow on the palate. Noodles on the other hand, were only alright. We did non discovery them outstanding, smoothen but sans the al-dente texture. The broth was jaw-droppingly good, nosotros come across ourselves coming dorsum for more. Scallion Pan Mee amongst Minced Pork was of standard-average, nosotros idea the Scallion chemical cistron was weak as well as overshadowed past times the savory Minced Pork.... maybe our expectation towards the dish was different. Not also shabby but tin endure better.

Love Nutrient Bari Uma Japanese Eatery @ Mitsui Outlet Common Klia Sepang, Selangor.

End of the twelvemonth has ever been the best fourth dimension for swain Malaysians to shop- major fashion brands would lure customers amongst huge together with attractive discounts. On my recent trip downward to KL (read my review for Delicious here), I've managed to halt yesteryear Mitsui Outlet Park Sepang... for some quick shopping. The house is quite deserted together with the best means to create out amongst hunger spell you lot are at that topographic point would live on to dine inward at 1 of the restaurants inward the mall. Mitsui Outlet Park Sepang opens equally early on equally 10 am inward the morning time together with nigh restaurants would live on create yesteryear xi am. It was our source see together with nosotros tried our luck at Bari-Uma, a Japanese Ramen specialist....

Quoted from their website "hailing from Japan, Bari Uma prides itself yesteryear offering high lineament Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen; the meat broth must live on boiled for 10 hours inward social club to create the thick together with creamy consistency."

True enough, Ajitama-Uma (Rm 25.90) comes inward a bowl of thick, rich together with creamy Pork together with Chicken broth topped amongst ii halved Braised Egg amongst runny Yolk, a thick slab of Japanese Char Siew together with Menma (braised Bamboo Shoots). Noodles were made inward menage but nosotros idea they lacked the al-dente texture, likely non meant to live on that means but nosotros similar ours amongst a chewy bite. The broth packed a flavorful punch together with amongst the emulsified fats, nosotros idea it was quite delicious, but non quite the best around. 

For a change, nosotros had their Chicken Broth Ramen amongst Vegetables (Tori Yasai-Uma) for Rm 21.90. The light, build clean Chicken broth carried a layer of creamy fats; topped amongst a handful of crunchy greens (such equally Bean Sprouts, julienned Cabbage together with Black Fungus). The broth was comforting but the Japanese chemical ingredient was also weak to our liking, equally though nosotros were having a bowl of ordinary Noodles amongst Chicken broth.The flavors precisely did non polish or perhaps, their signature Ajitama-Uma outshined this Tori Yasai-Uma.

Love Nutrient Mulgogi Dessert @ Sunway Carnival Mall, Seberang Jaya, Penang.

Whether Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream, artisan Ice Cream, Fried Ice Cream or Waffles; this by twelvemonth has offered many ways for us to satisfy our sweetness molar in addition to simply earlier nosotros roll upwards the year... at that spot is a novel Japanese-Korean dessert that hits the state. Be prepared for a spike inwards insulin equally the novel little inwards town- Mulgogi offers Taiyaki-inspired sweetness treat, amongst a refreshing-chilly touch. Taiyaki is a traditional Japanese sweetness snack, frequently stuffed amongst sweetened Red Beans; but now... a replacement for the sweetened Red Beans would endure diverse smooth, lip-smacking Soft Serve... amongst condiments of course. Mulgogi occupies a little kiosk at the lower dry reason flooring of Sunway Carnival Mall thence it's to a greater extent than similar a take-to-go food. Shoppers may opt to essay out approximately of their freshly baked sweetness Cakes either, if Soft Serve is non your type of food. 

Green Tea Red Bean Mulgogi Ice Cream (Rm 9.90)

Premium Chocolate Mulgogi inwards Cup (Rm 9.90)

The kiosk saw a relentless queue final evening... it was one-half an hr wait. The presentation is undoubtedly alluring but it takes a lot of seek to scoop all of them out from the cake. Everything was alright in addition to zero terribly inventive almost the dessert. The crust for the Taiyaki was airy in addition to most crispy piece the Soft Serve was smoothen in addition to possessed the necessary flavors. We did non relish the condiments though, weird in addition to unnecessary frills similar Pepero, Oreo, Corn Flakes in addition to sweetened Red Beans. Both flavors (for Soft Serve) were alright in addition to the sweetness was well-tuned but they were non that keen that nosotros would desire to larn all out in addition to queue for them.

The Croissant, on the other hand, was toothsome. Probably fresh-out-of-the-oven in addition to the crust was at its most flaky state, the texture was simply amazing but the filling was zero out of the ordinary. If I must choose, I'd vote for the Croissant over their Soft Serve.
