[ Penang ] Plan C Patisserie | Gurney Plaza

Lots of cafes that offer decent dessert are blooming in my island, I never bother to visit them as I'm not a dessert person.
Then I came to know that the opening of Plan C Patisserie in Gurney Plaza.
From photos that shared in social media, their desserts are all freaking amazing, they are eye-popping than ever.
Anyhow, I still don't find any reason to visit them until I saw one of the cake they are selling,
the kind of molten cake with pearl on top, I was eyeing for this kind of cake and wanted to try so badly 
when I first saw one of the cafe in Kuala Lumpur is selling this cake.
Was thnking when will the cafes in Penang going to offer this cake, and pop, Plan C make this happen!
With no waits, Mr.Ong brought me to visit Plan C on the weekend after their opening.
This pastry shop is actually located diagonally opposite of Royal Tea; at this stage, Plan C only offers desserts and mineral water (with charges), so you can actually get your drink at Royal Tea and bring it over to the cafe.
Something I like is the chic vibe and contemporary environment of the cafe, the marble tables are definitely a plus point.
All the desserts will be displayed at the counter area, with the limited space, those desserts are selling fast 
and you need to wait for the next round (approximate 1 hour of wait) sometimes while waiting for them to restock.
Was really excited when I saw they still have this cake in their showcase, but they told me it's actually their display mold, 
we came back one hour later and we finally got to try this cake, our heart skipped a beat when we saw the long queue, laugh.
If you can't take the disappointment, you can actually make reservation with the staff, but you need to make full payment first in order for them to secure your cakes; we over-heard the conversation between the staffs.
Salted Cream Sponge Cake with Pearl | RM25
This cake served on marble tile, the tableware that provided is in bronze gold color, everything is so exquisite!
The cake come with a plastic around, you can pull the plastic away and the salted cream suppose to flow down dramatically.
However, it didn't happen on our try, we just knew about the reason during our second visit with friends,
the salted cream tend to be harden a bit if it exposed to the air for too long.
This explain why our salted cream flow down with a slower speed, it did flow down after you waited for awhile.
It's just a normal sponge cake, but the salted cream make it tastes so much better and we really love it!
The salted cream taste exactly like the one we have in Royal Tea beverages, they used the same recipe on the cake.
75% Chocolate | RM18
On our second visit, we still ordered the Salted Cream Sponge Cake with Pearl, and something else to try.
Before we ordered this, we did ask the staff whether the chocolate will be too sweet or not,
and they confirmed that the sweetness is just nice, after all the cake is made from 75% dark chocolate, so we got the cake.
However, I think this cake is too sweet for me, but if you are chocolate lover, you will definitely love it,
but I'm doubt that you can finish it by your own, you need to share with your friends.
Salted Egg | RM18
Everyone like salted egg, and everything with salted egg will be nice too, so we gave it a try as well.
Most of their cakes will topped with some gold flakes, to make it looks better.
This is quite good, you can get to taste the salted egg taste in the mid of the cake, and it is not too sweet!
Before I ended the post, let me share Salted Cream Sponge Cake with pearl again, this time they served it in a plate,
to prevent the salted cream and pearl from flowing out of the tile I guess.
This sponge cake is the largest cake they have in their cafe, but I can finish it all by myself, it tastes so nice!

Location: 170-04-09/10, Gurney Plaza, 20150 Georgetown, Penang.
Business Hours: 10am - 10pm (Daily)

[ Bangkok ] EmQuartier商场 | Kub Kao' Kub Pla泰式餐厅


对于我和王先生来说,有时出远门太久就会想念马来西亚食物的味道,可是去曼谷的时候是完全不会想念的!
就是因为曼谷有很多美食,而且口味跟我们的又很接近,所以完全把我们这里的食物都抛在脑后。
今天要分享的美食是Kub Kao' Kub Pla泰式餐厅,是一位嘴巴很挑的朋友强力推荐我一定要去试的餐厅噢!
结果一试就爱上了,在这一次的曼谷之旅我们就拜访了两次,而且它的食物价格会比Nara泰式餐厅来得便宜。


这餐厅是在EmQuartier商场,The Helix六楼那,招牌上可以看到鱼儿标志,如果是用餐时间就得领号码排队等位子噢。
Kub Kao' Kub Pla是泰国出名的冰淇淋iberry所开设的新餐厅,单在曼谷就有很多分店了。
Kub Kao' Kub Pla以字面解释是“吃饭,吃鱼”的意思,来到这里就要吃饭菜的意思啦,当然他们还设了个iberry档口在店前。


店里坐位还蛮多,连餐厅对面的空地也是有坐位的,所以两次我们都不用等很久就有位子坐啦。
我们两次坐的区域不一样,第一次靠近厨房那,第二次靠近大门那,所以可以看到不同的景色和设计。
菜单上有很多不同的菜色,我们两次都点了差不多一样的菜,哈哈!
建议可以和一群朋友到这里,这样就可以品尝不同的菜色,我们两人点了三样就已经是极限了,但还是扫完所有点的食物。


Iced Tea | 110泰铢
因为要留着肚子吃美食,我们通常都只会点一杯饮料,当然也是要看心情啦。
还是一样我们点了泰式奶茶,还蛮大杯的,刚好足够我们俩分享;最喜欢的是那个杯垫,有餐厅的招牌印在上头。
差点就有冲动要拿回家了,但现在想起真的很后悔没有带回来,反正他们收拾的时候也会丢掉的。


Fried Taros with Spicy Tamarind Sauce | 145泰铢
这是我朋友推荐我要点的,在菜单上也可以看到餐厅标记这菜色为“推荐”(看到鱼而标记就是餐厅的强推)。
这一盘共有八颗的炸芋头,它的煮法看起来应该是把芋头切丝,然后卷成一团后拿去炸。
吃起来后发现里头有惊喜,竟然有芋头馅料耶,所以炸的部分就只是外面一层,不会厚也不会太油腻。
吃起来是外酥内绵,我还蛮喜欢的,就是喜欢吃绵绵的芋头,不太喜欢吃硬绷绷的芋头。


Crab Balls | 360泰铢
第二次来我们就把炸芋头换成这炸蟹球,另外两样还是点回一样的,哈哈,就感觉汤和菜都太到位了!
炸蟹球一盘就只有六颗那么多,可能螃蟹贵吧,但是每一个还蛮大颗的;
本来以为他们会把蟹肉打成泥再来做成蟹球,但切开来后看到的是一整块的蟹肉,咬下去真的很满足啊。
整体来说味道还是不错的,但王先生觉得槟城的一家中餐厅的蟹球比较好吃;我没吃过,所以觉得这个已经很不错了。


Stir-Fried Vegetables | 165泰铢
有些人会觉得吃饭点炒菜不会很值得,用同一个价格可以点别的东西,但我们觉得饮食还是要均匀嘛,哈哈。
也不是啦,最主要还是我们吃太多煎炸的食物了,所以决定要吃些青菜来平衡一下。
我可以说这是我们做到最对的决定,这炒菜的分量很大,各式各样的菜和菇类都在一盘里,卖像有点普通啦,
但这热腾腾的菜吃起来真的很过瘾啊,这菜应该有加了鱼露酱,所以吃起来很香甜。
看我们两次来这里都点一样的菜就知道它的魅力何在啦,而且又那么便宜,我觉得真的非常值得噢!


Tom Yum Goong | 280泰铢
来吃泰式料理怎么能不点东炎汤呢!菜单上这汤是注明为两颗星的辣度(三颗为满),本来还担心不懂王先生能喝嘛;
还好送上来的汤并不是我们想像中的辣,虽然那汤看起来红彤彤的好恐怖,哈哈。
如果你们有注意到,就会发现东炎汤的碗其实是鱼的造型啊,非常可爱,而且送上来的时候还是用木托盘的。
一看可能会觉得分量有点小,但里面满满的都是食材啊,而且虾还是剥壳的了!
泰国的东炎汤比我们的好喝很多,我们这里的都是酸味,泰国的汤非常浓郁,喝起来有点奶香味和一点微酸而已,
我们都喝到停不下来啊,我们两次都把汤都喝干了,是不是很厉害!


好吧,放上我们的照片一张,吃到非常满足的脸啊!

地址:EmQuartier Mall, The Helix Quartier, 6th Floor
怎么去:搭乘BTS到Phrom Phong站,1号出口后进入EmQuartier商场,餐厅就在Helix Quartier的6楼那
营业时间:10am - 10pm

[ Bangkok ] Tealily Matcha House | 抹茶控必来的圣地


有很多日本人都居住在曼谷,所以曼谷有不少的日式的餐厅或咖啡厅,而且可以说是都还蛮正宗的。
那我们怎么能错过好吃的抹茶甜点呢,说到底我们还是超级抹茶控呢!
商场里有不少的抹茶连锁甜品店,但我们都觉得连锁店有点太普通,所以到最后决定去拜访Tealily Cafe
写到这篇突然发现到我们要去的咖啡厅大部分都是离BTS站有点远耶,Tealily坐落于住宅区内,步行到那里是个挑战。
在我们回来不久后,Tealily也换了个地方来营业;所以文末我会直接分享他们的新地址噢!
之前的Tealily Cafe感觉也换了个名字,现在是Tealily Matcha House,更符合了他们正宗的抹茶甜点屋的概念。


从EmQuartier商场走来这里需要大约20分钟,跟着地图走是不会迷路的,但天气真的太热了。
一看到Tealily小小的招牌就非常兴奋,可以进去屋内吹空调了。
为什么说是屋内而不是咖啡厅内呢,因为Tealily根本就是开在一间屋子里啊,非常有家的感觉呢!
喜欢它店前的植物,外面也有桌椅噢,我都看到大家从店里捧着甜品到外面拍照的,会很好看但我就是懒惰。
注:这里可是旧的店面,所以你们去到新的咖啡厅里看到的会是不一样的东西啊。


一推开门发现到店的空间不会很大,准备饮料的吧台就已经占据了一半的空间。
另一个小角落可以看到老板娘还卖了些布艺品,自制有机肥皂还有抹茶和奶茶口味的抹酱,有冲动要买一罐回家。
店里有一只猫,非常悠哉的走来走去,老板娘说它的名字是Mochi,也不会怕生,喜欢的可以跟它玩。


喜欢店里的每一切,很多都是木制或是以青色为主,所以东拍拍西拍拍的,连食物也可以拍着不同角度啊!


Matcha Latte | 130泰铢
因为我们的位子就在吧台的旁边,所以可以直接看到老板娘为我们准备的饮料。
通常抹茶拿铁的颜色都会有点乳青色,那牛奶会让整体看起来比较偏白色,可这里的并不会,饮料颜色还是深青的。
我们心想:哎呀,应该点到不好喝的,哪里知道一喝下去才惊觉这才是真正的抹茶拿铁嘛,其他的算什么!
这拿铁没有太厚的奶味,完完全全还是抹茶的味道居多,喝起来有点苦涩,到后面会有回甘的感觉。
一开始喝会不习惯,但久了就会喜欢那味道,到现在喝不到那么正宗的味道反而会有点想念呢,这里找不到这种味道啊~


Uji Houjicha Kintoki | 255泰铢
喝一杯饮料怎么能过瘾呢,一定要点些甜点,但因为天气太热了,我们就决定点了一碗刨冰,甜品下次有机会再试。
这刨冰要等一段时间才会送上来,送上来看到分量有点吓到,好大一份噢~
抹茶有分几种,而这个是用Houjicha来做成刨冰,味道会比普通的抹茶还来得重一些,因为Houjicha的茶叶是有烘过的。
最喜欢就是那三色团子,它的颜色跟我们手机里emoji的团子排法完全一样嘛,吃起来又非常Q弹。
除了刨冰和团子,这里还有一球的抹茶雪糕和一小杯的Houjicha浓茶,可以一直倒入刨冰内提升那味道。
虽然说这茶种味道比较重,但个人觉得做成刨冰就刚刚好,冰溶化了味道还是不会变的;
也许老板娘看我们直接倒完那小杯的浓茶到刨冰里,还主动帮我们添加更多的Houjicha浓茶,真的非常贴心噢。

因为太喜欢这里了,所以我们下一次到曼谷还是会拜访Tealily Matcha House,他们还有更多的甜品等着我们去品尝呢!
