Edelweiss Café

Edelweiss!
Because of this name and Lilian blogged about it before, it caught my attention to go forward for further exploration. There’s a song on Edelweiss, and this song is actually The Sound of Music soundtrack. It was sung by a widower of the Trapp Family.
Anyway, let’s not talk about that Edelweiss but this Edelweiss Café. If you love antique stuff, regardless the building, furniture, iron, clock, tiffin, etc this is the right place for you. Or, if you are looking for some information on Penang Island, well, here is the place for you too.

Append below are some shots that I took from Edelweiss Café. While I was busy snapping, hubby was busy ordering food. He’s more glutton than me.In there you could see some greeneries and that really made everyone feels so environmental friendly.
When I was taking this shot, one of the guess with lots of grey hair was telling me, ‘Young lady, you should take this shot!’. I was wondering why, then, this uncle said, ‘Stand here, this is the right spot, and look up, … Yeah, this is the one of the best shot!’.
Ta da… ‘It ought to give a lesson to all the male on how to use a toilet’. That’s exactly what the uncle told me. Funny leh???It was a neither odd time for dinner nor tea time. So, hubby didn’t really order anything heavy. But he ordered this Benggali Toast. A cheese slide with some onions sprinkles on top and toast. Something nice and simple and filling too with a cup of coffee, This is one of the luxury tea time that we ever have.

Breakfast in Taman Inderawasih

Never expect to get up so late this morning, guess last nite was a good sleep.
We have been patronizing this place (新豐飲食中心) for quite some time, but never have a chance to take picture of those food that we had. It’s either we just came out in a rush or I have forgotten to bring my camera along….. (hahahhaa, I know I know, how do I claim myself a food blogger, huh? Shame on me!!)

This is a corner coffee shop in Taman Inderawasih, and it’s one of a famous one, as you could see many people march in for food, regardless for breakfast, for brunch or even for lunch. During working days, you could see many office staff, workers came all the way from Prai Industrial Estate for lunch.

This coffee shop is actually operates by a group of siblings where they only take care of drinks. The rest of the stalls are on rental basis.

There are many stalls down here, they have Char Koay Teow, Koay Teow Th’ng, Pork Ribs Hokkien Mee, HaiNan Chicken Rice, Rojak (罗惹), Curry Mee, etc. And, all of them are good, no joke!!

I’ve been eyeing on this Hakka Dabu Noodle (大埔客), and have been wondering should I go for it. It wasn’t that bad when I have it, but it was on a bit of salty. I told hubby wonder this stall owner a Hakka. And, my understanding on Hakka has many region dialects, and one of them is Dabu (大埔客).

If you're Hakka or even non-Hakka, do drop by this place as early as possible as there are lots of lots of people. Waiting time is a concern, and at times they could mix up your orders or even lost track of the orders sequence.

Beach Blanket Babylon Bar & Bistro House

I bet you’ll laugh if you read this, I’ve not been to Cineplex for almost 4 years since the last movie I watched was Jude Law & Nicole Kidman’s Cold Mountain. Today, I have the urge to watch Ratatouille, unfortunately, that time slot was full and ended up hubby and I were watching a comedy show, “Knocked Up”.

That show isn’t that bad at all, it’s about a one-night stand after a couple of alcohol. I dropped a tear towards the ending… Like Sembang & Talk in one of her post, who is the best to you?

Let’s not talk about that, after the show, we’re not hungry at all, due to a heavy breakfast in Manila Place this morning. Yup, one of our favourite spot for American style breakfast (I’ll post that later). So, we were walking around and look for something light, didn’t manage to get anything out from Gurney Plaza, ended up we drove out from the plaza.

We drove all the way up to Tanjong Bungah, not that no other things for us to eat, just that, we both really can’t slurp anything heavy anymore. Then, on the way down to town, hubby said why don’t we explore something in Upper Penang Road. That is a happening place especially on Friday & Saturday night. You could see lots of tourists, youngsters and drinkers are there.
We thought we could find some food in there, unfortunately it’s not what we thought of like any other places where you could see FOOD. However, we spotted this Beach Blanket Babylon Café. Some where we find it pleasant and the interior is classy too.
I was like scrutinized the menu and looked for something light, … ended up we both ordered spring rolls that comes with only 5 pieces and 4 pieces of garlic bread with cheddar cheese.

Ya, I know, that’s his favourite, what can I say right?? Every tea time, he’ll sure order garlic bread.
It’ll be a perfect match if we have a cup of coffee, whether it’s a cappuccino or an espresso. Well, we didn’t make it a perfect one but had a glass of ice lemon tea and a cup of Earl Gray English tea instead.
But that wasn’t a bad tea time that we have though. After that, we walked out and took a few shots of the place. If you ever do thought of having a gathering with friends, this isn’t any bad place to hang out. In fact, I’d just got to know it’s the same management as 32 Mansion. So, you guys could trust on its services and the food.

New World Park Food Court

In my previous post on New World Park, I did mention about the food court is actually behind those chain outlets.
You will like this place, as all the famous hawker delight stalls are all manned down here. You can’t miss your favorite food.

Beside your favorite food stalls are here, the ceilings are high enough and it’s airy. Perhaps it’s new, the cleanliness is thumbs up.
Two of us have actually ordered this much … My Char Koay Teow never fried with eggs, as without egg could taste better on the taste, with egg that will taken all the ‘wok-hei’. The tom yam doesn’t looks as red as what used to be… taste wise, so so only. As for the Chee Cheong Fun, isn’t that bad, but it can be better after I’ve tried the one in New Lane & Cintra Street.

I hope am not fussy hor??
