Huey&Wah and Marshmallow!



[Huey & Wah in Straits Quay is shut down and moved to Bellisa Row to serve you better, read here for more - updated on Year 2014]

Got a message from my deary Ah Theng to hang out for high tea session, without hesitation, I said "Yes" and we were out. Planned to have first high tea session together before picking up Tien at 5pm after her class, that will be our second round. It was a broiling Saturday, so we decided to go somewhere with air-conditioner supply in Straits Quay, that's how we bumped into Huey&Wah.  
The chair caught my sight once I stepped in the little cafe, "I'll scream if you fart!". Different colors with different quotes, me like!
You will find this handmade rack for magazine and wet umbrella if you have one. It's cool to have a magazine on hand with a cuppa! 
Open kitchen where they make nice marshmallows, cashier at aside. Huey was measuring the ingredients needed for marshmallows; wonder why Wah was not inside the photo. Laugh. Huey is so friendly and I chatted with her while snapping here and there.
They are selling marshmallows in pack as well; before you buy, you can always try a bite on their sample. Talking about flavors, they have stout, green tea, passion fruit, green tea, chocolate and vanilla. All handmade and make colorant added.
Beside marshmallows, they also have muffins and cookies. According to Huey, these are made by their parents at home.
The interior is simple with white based; the only menu of this little cafe is somewhere near the kitchen, order before you get your seat.
This is another side wall, set of postcards are hanging on them, as a decoration, and for sale too! 
Normally, the local drink can served together with 2 cubes of marshmallows [RM4.90 + RM1.50]. Vanilla marshmallow match coffee perfectly, while stout marshmallow (with alcohol content) with milo. It's best if you let the marshmallows melt in your drink, taste your drink again, you will realize your drink had changed its taste. We immersed ourselves in that environment,  enjoying the cubes.
Found this scene very cute, the customer fall asleep while handling his task. Peep the mustache pink cup! It's a good place for knock off.

It was a fine afternoon, trying new thing one by one.




Armenian Street



Been to Armenian Street last week for their function, some sort like art street event; a event that gathered people who like photography and arts. I rather go there during non-event day, lesser people and I don't need to rush here and there just to take a photo. Sign
Just happened to walk over here to snap their road sign. Laugh
14 Living Story, a shop right next to Cheah Kongsi and Amelia Cafe [here], selling classical stuff and you definitely will like it if you fancy about classical things. 
Everyday if you pass by this shop, you will find this uncle sitting in front of the shop and playing with his organ, classical song of cause.
Few pairs of clogs are hanging on wall; all are hand-painted with patterns, each pair selling for RM55, suitable for collection if you like.
Saw a abacus displayed up-side-down, and they took out others and left only 4 pins on the center, special no?
Seen this before? A mural once you turn in the street, the bicycle is real tho. It's even published in magazine and newspaper. 
Here's is the muralist - Ernest Zacharevic drawing on his 6th mural in Penang. He is the cause of traffic jam that day, everyone is standing on the road just to record / take photos at him. Thanks to him for beautify Georgetown; he is so damn cute!
Another hot spot of the day - Khoo Kongsi, lighting on night for their event. Took this photo before they light it. Not much photos taken on that night, crowded everywhere, surely I'll go again to take all the mural in Georgetown.

Fell for Penang, more and more.

I ate this!



As I said, choosing a place to dine in is the hardest decision among friends; looking at the directory board, pointing up and down, at last we had Manila Place for this day. Simply chose from the board, and heard that their lunch sets are quite reasonable too.
Was wondering why not much people wandered in the mall, since it was weekends. The restaurant mostly in white and black colors, cozy one. As I said, their set lunch is quite worth, main course come together with soup and drinks, add RM6 to have Haagen Dazs.
Mushroom Soup
Grilled Fish with Mushroom Sauce . RM25.90
Spaghetti Cabonara . RM22.90
Oops, we added RM6 each to get Haagen Dasz ice cream! Too bad, they do not have Rum Raisin in the menu, only these two flavor.
Outfit of the day, Laugh! Didn't took a lot of photos in Manila Place, can't wait for my movie, Brave and Armenian Street, please wait for me! (back-dated post, should be posted on last Saturday, smack)

My lovely weekend



Now it's like I having 3 days weekends, one day more than others; so please don't take this privilege from me, and pray hard our production run smoothly within 4 days. Hooray! Passed my Friday with a nice movie: Abraham Lincoln - The Vampire Hunter at night; also dine together with my family for my mother's lunar birthday. I enjoy staying at home during weekend, again. 
Starbucks - To inspire and nurture the human spirit, one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time.

Looking forward for the Armenian Street Art event.

You are beautiful



Rain poured for few minutes, heavy enough to chase the hazy thingy from our bluey sky; love to see my beautiful island in clear mode.
On my way back from company, hooray, it's weekend again! Laugh
