Address:  Unit148, George Town, Jalan Pintal Tali, George Town, 10100 Penang.

Dark chocolate // Fruity-green tea waffle

The waffle is slightly crispy, just nice enough.

The special part of the café is that: You can DIY your own art for coffee & chocolate! It's definitely a good experience for visitors.

The Fort Cornwallis (Malay: Kota Cornwallis) is a star fort that the British East India Company built in the late 18th century on the northeastern coast of Penang Island.

Currently, the entrance fee is RM10 per pax, you will get to deduct back the RM10 for each RM20 you spend in the cafe : KOTA - When Francis Meets Rempah (which I will introduce later)

It was a beautiful day with all the cotton-candy-look of clouds.

Some photoshoot moments :

Here is it, the cafe : KOTA (When Francis Meets Rempah)

- Creme Brulee -

It comes with three flavours: Original (center) // Pandan (right) and finally Gula Melaka (Sugar Malacca), which is at the left.

There are black glutinous rice at the bottom of original creme brulee, which make it even special.

It is recommended to start from the original, pandan then gula melaka as it has the strongest sense.

I like the original and pandan the most as gula melaka was quite sweet for me.

You can drop by to try other meals, and I heard another dish : Nyonya is very nice. Due to we were there during tea time, so we didn't order any other meals, but only tried the dessert.

The Lawn Cafe @ Eco Terraces // Blossoms of Light @ Eco Meadows

Recent hot picks of photography locations in Penang : EcoWorld Gallery || Eco Terraces and Eco Meadows.

#1: The Lawn Cafe @ Eco Terraces, Paya Terubong

Address: PT2509,, Jalan Paya Terubong, Paya Terubong, 11060 Paya Terubong, Penang.

I was scrolling thru instagram the other days, seeing people visit those "glass-house cafe' in KL or Johor, hoping that I could had a try some day later, and then now Penang happened to have one in Paya Terubong area. It is the Lawn Cafe by Eco World. The cafe is literary small, not spacious enough to serve the customers, but you can take away the yoghurt or drinks and have some relaxing moments sitting outside the cafe. It is definitely a nice place where you can have a nice chatting with family and friends in the nice windy environment (if you visit in the evening perhaps after 5PM).

The fruity yoghurt that I ordered. Something fresh on a hot weather !

Didn't get the chance to visit "Light Rose Garden" in Seoul yet? It's okay, now you can pay a visit to Blossoms of Light first, it is a month-long event starting from 19th March to 17th April. 

I went on the first day it launched, so wasn't able to take much photos in the garden due to the overwhelming situation.

The garden is filled with colourful tulips with LED lights at the night.

Hey 2016 ❣

It's almost been a year back since my last update. Time flies!

My blogging mood suddenly came out of nowhere, so I'm here to blog about my life in 2015.

Decided to join a small company during peak period last year, while studying for ACCA. Yupp, still not passing the exam after a few attempts, YET. There are some times that I thought of giving up when I feel hopeless for passing the exam, but at the same time I feel wasteful for giving up like this as I had already put so much effort and time on this. So let's pray really hard and hope I could pass this time *finger crossed*

Some flashback memories of my life in 2015 :

January & February

Attended Jim's birthday celebration, celebrated Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year! 

Not to forget catching up with friends and paid a visit to Kek Lok Si Temple. 

And I had my hair coloured in red to get ready for CNY! Pretty daring choice I made but it fade too quick.

March & April

My second visit to Penang Hill after all these years, everything is different now, I can't even find anything that could match with those in my old days memory.

Attended my friends' convocation in April, and wondering when will be my turn?
I missed once for my advanced diploma, I don't want to (and will not) miss the last one for my ACCA! 

May to August

After hesitating for months, I finally had my fringe cut, felt like I was acting as a teenager at the age of 16? *chuckle* Anyway, I did not regret for the decision though it made my skin condition turned bad.

These are the months that were full of celebrations ❣
Surprise during the anniversary celebration, and had birthday celebration with Theng and Shannie as well. Not forgetting to mention the little getaway to Cameron after exam (PS: my second visit too!)

August & September

The moments with colleagues.

• Just one month after my getaway to Cameron, my company organized another one day trip to Cameron, and I get to continue my visit to some other sites which I missed in my previous visit.
• Attended company annual dinner a day before my BKK trip at "59 Dining room".

ＢＫＫ　Ｔｒｉｐ　ｉｎ　Ｓｅｐｔｅｍｂｅｒ

A long-waited trip with BFF like finally! Had so much fun with them during that week, but I'll definitely be back soon! Cause I'm not done with the shopping yet! 

Look forward for another trip with BFF any time sooner?

November & December

Favourite month of the year! You would understand the reason from the photos right?

Overall, my 2015 isn't too bad, cause I have everything I want. Looking forward to have a better and wonderful 2016, and at least let me become a ACCA affiliate this year! *make a wish*

Hey 2016, please be good to me kay? I promise I'll continue to fight for what I want. Fighting !

Uncle Jang and Salon Du Chocolat are always my favourite during the college life in KL, and my friends and I even drove down to KL for them after we graduated. There was once I wish that Uncle Jang and Salon Du Chocolat would open a branch in Penang to fix my cravings and then my wish actually came true, Uncle Jang had its grand opening at end of April 2015, which not long later Salon Du Chocolat has a branch in Gurney Paragon as well.

(Now opening in Gurney Paragon, Penang On 6 as well)

But my recommendation is just the Mochi ice-cream, it still good even you take it home.

Business operating hour : 10.00 AM - 10.30 PM

Hostel Ceylon Cafè ᴴᴱᴸᴸᴼ ᴷᴵᵀᵀᵞ ᶜᴬᶠᴱ || Lorong Ceylon

Visited to this Hello Kitty theme cafe last week, the "Hotel Ceylon Cafe". It is located at the end of Lorong Ceylon, and the cafe will be on your left side. 

Attached here with its business hour, the cafe will close on every Thursday.
Take note that the cafe isn't very spacious, only limited seat available, so if you're going on weekends, you probably will have to queue up outside for your turn.

Ceylon Cafe doesn't only provide Hello Kitty meals, they serves spaghetti and cakes as well..

Hello Kitty high tea set for 2 pax || RM 34.90

Chocolate moist cake, 2 kitty royal icing cookies & Hot chocolate || RM 17.90

with the two sweetie pie, Elene & Shannie ❣

Overall the food is okay. You can enjoy a high tea set at a cheaper price, but you couldn't stay long over there. After all, it isn't that good to keep other customers waiting for too long when you have already finish your meal right? *chuckle*

It would be a favourite for those Kitty lovers, but for people like me who is never a fan of Hello Kitty, it would still be a nice cafe to visit. At least go and have a try! 

Haven Harbour @ Chime Heritage

This blog post has been pending in the draft for months and I finally decided to complete it today.

Visited to Haven Harbour months ago when I was supposed to lock myself in the house doing revision. But I grab some notes along so that I could do the revision while being chillax at the same time.

The cafe is located at Chime Heritage along Jalan Bawasah, which is next to Nagore Square. It is the corner lot of that row of premises.

The first floor.

We reached there after lunch time, so we were the only customers at that floor, enjoying the spacious relaxing environment all by ourselves. It is an ideal place to do my revision too! *chuckle* 

Sky juice is provided free of charge as well. 

5% Dark Chocolate

Recommended to those who love dark chocolate, but it's really bitter! =S

Chocolate Assiétte

Fine Belgian chocolate lava, marshmallow and Oreo coated ice cream.

We came here after our lunch, so we did not order the pastas or other main sets. In addition, it was their chocolate lava that attracted me in the first place.

Not to forget taking photos with the huge teddy! ❤️
