To the North

Like what people always say: Every time plan couldn't keep up with changes; we were planning just to have a day trip in Penang Island, ended up we were going to the North, for the food and for the mother nature. I was accompanied by Shaun and Pok, my new friend.

Stopped by highway and took the photo, the sky was fine and I was glad to join them for the trip.

Alor Setar, it is somewhere near the town.

We had Thai food and coconut juice are the perfect match, they had some beer too. 

Went to plantation for a visit, I felt like I was in the desert, as the sky was dry; we found castor seeds there, which is poisonous. 

Random snap at the back yard. 

It's good to back to natural sometimes, throw all the city life at my back, no worry.

. . . . . . . . . . 

I hope for better.

Hoot Hoot!

Suppose to get back my warm house after high tea at Amelia Cafe, I blurted out some words and like a random decision, we went to Penang Hill just to pay a visit to the newly opened Owl Museum. The sky started to turn grey when we reached on top.

Paid RM10 for the entrance fee and we got ourselves a souvenir from them, of course, with an owl; as it is all about owl in this place.

Love the workstation where you can find wood crumbs on the table, bit by bit the woodcarver make their masterpiece in shape. 

Tool that needed to have a perfect carve. 

The lamp stand out in the middle of the space as it isn't related to owl, it looks like a tree with fireflies flying on the top. Jungle feel.

I like this the most: The Royal Owl, they are unsaleable.

Here they have a kids corner where you can find little chair, fluffy owlies and animals to play around. It's 'owl'some!

When you walked through the end, you can get some owl stuffs over here if you find any, rings, necklaces, pouches, accessories, and etc. 

Fluffy owls and clothes are available too!

The weather was good and we saw a double rainbow, my first time to see it, I just realized about it when I view my photos that time.

Piece of cloth that I grab from Owl Museum, it's definitely a love one, Hoot!

Truly love my day!

Sticky yet Arty-Crafty Day

It was a sticky Saturday where at first I felt to pass my day at home with some good reads or drama; ended up I decided to have something better, met up with babe Jhu which we seldom have chance to get one-to-one hang out. Kind of excited to get out with her as we both have similar taste and hobbies, it's not hard to find a topic and a tiny thing enough to make us laugh for whole day. 

After walked for few rounds, we managed to find this little hidden cafe at Armenian Street, Amelia Cafe. It was not hard to locate the cafe, it is just right next to Cheah Kongsi; we were welcomed by a kingdom of green plants, too bad their shop-sign is kind of blocked by those plants. I bet you guys wouldn't realize this is actually a cafe, when by chance you walk by this area.

Some enchanting hand painted sign boards and drawings also hanging outside the cafe; the talented owners surely have magic hands.

Photos taken when I first walked in the cafe, it's kind of rustic feel, and their concept is clear for going green which means recycling.

The interior is decorated with refurbished stuffs like glass bottles and hand painted wood crafts; have a peek on their little kitchen where great food comes from. Photography is prohibited in the cafe, seriously.

I like their wall, they purposely shown some of the bricks to give you an old feel, it was like dragging me back to old time. Clock is a like!

That's the glass bottle I talked about, and they make the cafe feel so comfy and zakka with all the plants they placed inside. 

Painted wood crafts on wall, the first one caught my sight.

That's another two wood crafts that hang in front of our table, I hope to paint like the owner.

They never waste a cardboard to blend it into their cafe element; the handmade menu with cute drawing is awesome.

We were kind of busy to snap photos while waiting for food. They even drew a poached egg on table, each table get different design. 

Jhu's Orange Mint (RM8) on the left and my Banana in Plum Lassi (RM12) on the right.

Bacon, Zucchini, Cream Cheese 'n' Rocket Bagel . RM18

The bagel is hard to cut, and it's too sackful with all the ingredients together; yet the taste is so great and I couldn't forget about it.

Cinnamon 'n' Chocolate Cream Pot . RM12

When I saw owner served this up, I was quite worry it's too sweet for me; chef is good in balance the taste of chocolate and cinnamon.

Love they way where cups are hanging on the cupboard; the place is small but it never looks crowded with all the stuffs they have.

Snapping on our shoes before we went off to somewhere awesome, stay tuned for the post! Ciao~

I made some chances. Laugh. 

Warm and Cozy

Sometimes, you'll just get pressure from work, from thing around you; despite all that, it didn't stop me from waking up early in the morning on my non-working day, just to have some jogging section with my mom. Reached youth park and botanical garden (yeah, we went two places in a row) quite early, and I was so lucky to find myself a parking lot. Laugh. We should have more next time.

Street Dance 2 is in theater, how can I not watch this? Before the movie, we went to dine in Winter Warmers, nowadays quite a lot of my friends went to this place for their meal, yet I didn't see any promotion they are up to. 

Like this photo with no reason, it is just too vintage and cozy; always like their elongated menu book and the ribbon that tied them up.

We were quite early for dinner, not much customers in the restaurant, I like the feeling with no people squeezing in a same space with me, sometimes. Laugh. 

Jasmine Paradise . RM7.90

Premium green tea with the jasmine bud that they put in cup creates a perfect blend which is so elegant and tasty.

Jasmine Green Tea Latte . RM9.90

Same like the former one, the jasmine fragrance mix well with the rich creamy milk. Jasmine lover, we are!

Seafood Spaghetti . RM18.90

Fettuccine Carbonara . RM14.90

Both of them look the same, the only different was the ingredients and type of pasta I guess. If you really taste them both, you will realize their taste are different as well, I prefer Fettuccine Carbonara here.

I'll and I am, live better.

No joke!

Early morning when I woke up in the morning and my mom made me two red boiled eggs, I guess you guys should know what it means.

Like usual, we already set Sunday as our family day and we went to Queensbay Mall to have a walk before dine in Canton-i. 

The combination of pink and white is quite sharp; I used to have a uniform with these color when I was a perfume promoter. Laugh. 

Whenever I see this design, I will think of Delicious; anyway, birdcage is also a signature in Hong Kong, their hobby!

Titbits . RM2

Assorted Roast Meat, Beancurd, Sausage, Egg with Rice . RM14.80

Honey-Glazed BBQ Pork, Vegetables and Egg with Rice . RM13.80

RM1 Chicken (一蚊鸡)

This dish was a special offer of the day, after we placed our order and the waiter ask us to try on this, and it only cost us RM1, no joke! The condition is you cannot grab it home if you couldn't finish it all in the restaurant. Fair enough.
