We love Burps & Giggles

During the time when me and friends had crazy road trip to Cameron Highlands few months back, we stopped by at a new cafe in Ipoh before heading back to the island. If you were there, Burps & Giggles is the place where you must visit! I always focus on Penang foodie sometimes on Kuala Lumpur foodie, and I'm kind of neglected other states which are now chasing up with new cafe like this; thanks to my friend who intro this to me. Let's have some historical talk before moving on; this cafe is a new venture of Indulgence's boss, and now you will ask what the hack is Indulgence? Indulgence is a fine dining restaurant somewhere around Tambun Road in Ipoh. If you are not fine-dining kind of people, you may want to visit Burps & Giggles which serve great food with cheaper price range.

When I first step in, Burps & Giggles give me the Pik Nik's feel; everything in the cafe are quite similar with Pik Nik! Both have big painting wall, comfy sofa and pillows, the most important is both of the interior design are kinda retro, old-school and handmade style.

The cafe is quite huge and they even provide a number of tables at their back lane but personally I feel it's quite creepy to have meals there if it's dark in the evening right? I can't show all the shots here, so let's have a look at the photos that shoot by a blogger name Zane, seriously his photos are way too awesome and those shots impress me a lot!

Sweet Crepe stuff with fresh strawberries, hibiscus curd topped with Vanilla ice cream . RM13

When I ordered this, I was actually thinking about those layered mille crepe which stuff with fruits. So, when they served this up, I was like huh, what's this? I didn't ordered this lah~ but the waiter confirmed with us that this is their crepe looks like. We cared nothing and started to munch the sweet bite, this crepe turn out quite good and the taste is great when the crepe is still heated. Too bad the strawberry cubes were too sour and I can feel them tickled my gum when I chew on them. 

#1 Sister Flo (Soft egg, spinach, pine nuts, lemon hollandaise and turkey slices) . RM14

#2 Brother Dick (Soft egg, smoked lamb rashers and feta cream) . RM14

#3 Pope (Smoked duck, foie gras mousse, oven-dried Roma) . RM16

#4 Reverend Mama (Soft egg, smoked salmon, dill, gherkins and ricotta cheese) . RM15

They have only 4 types of bagel in their menu, and we ordered all of them! We didn't try their so-called 'Hot Spuds' which are something like sausages, lambs, potatoes and etc; might can try them on next visit. We wanted to equally divide our own portion of bagel and share with others, end up we were exhausted on cutting the bagel before the eating, phew~ I posted about burger posts continuously, this doesn't mean I'm burger lover, it's just coincidence and I really prefer Burps & Giggles bagel as they stuffed lot of veges instead of only meat. Like their idea on naming the bagel especially the Brother Dick, have no idea why they named it so. Laugh! Come and try the bagel or other foodie by yourselves; for small eater, no worry on the portion, it's actually smaller than normal burger. Om nom nom!

The Marilyn Monroe's mural at the back lane of Burps & Giggles, we did some stupid pose with that which I better keep them for myself.

Burger time in Woody Cafe

Ola, I'm back with more food post, like always, Laugh! When I view through my album I found out that there are still plenty of places I wanted to share with my readers yet I keep procrastinate it like years; I'll try my best to finish all the old posts like in 2 weeks time, when the time comes, the new posts will bundle up pulak! No choice, I insist to write them all than keeping those little gems myself. 

Woody opened in Penang for times and still operate until now, it's closed when I passed by the cafe last week and I thought they were shutting down but luckily they are not! Phew~ that's why I have this post done first.

Woody only open at night and it's located at Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling that near to Eu Yan Shang, no worry it's not hard to locate it.

The interior, so you might have an idea now why they named this cafe as Woody, you can also find a lot of old-school stuff inside the cafe like black disc, Coke jar and etc. Be careful when you sitting on the wooden chair, they didn't polish it well and you might stab your hands or legs. They provide menu but they also have big reference on the black board hanging on the wall.

If you come with a huge group of friends/family, you can tell the staff and let them seated you at upstairs; upstairs is with air-con apply, games corner and also TV corner. The best part is they are all f.o.c, all you need to do is ask for them.

The funny guy (I forgot his name aldy) that talking with us all night long and he is damn friendly and kind! He was taking photo on the food to share on FB page I guess, he is smart to use the table's light to make the food seems juicy underneath. Drool. 

Can't wait for the food? First let's have a look on how's the homemade patty been grilled; the size of the patty is quite thick as you can see from the photo and Woody basically only selling chicken, beef and mutton patty for their homemade burger.

Mutton HandBurger (RM9.90) on the top and Chicken HandBurger (RM5.90) on the bottom; yeah it's not typo error, they named the burger as HandBurger because they wanted you to try it with your bare hand, not with fork and knife. Previously they do provide glove for you when they serve this up, I knew this from a blogger but now the tradition is no more preserve; they do serve fork and knife if you ask for them. We have single handburger, but if you are meat eater, you can order twin or triplet to double up your patty! Overall, the taste is quite good with lots of sauce, the sauce even dripping when I bite on the burger!

Onion Ring . RM6

I'm so guilty to show all unhealthy food here, but I think it's okay once in a blue moon right? Promise to have more water if you go there as they serve all heaty food. I like onion ring but they over-fried it, the crispy char skin covered the original onion taste. 

The great idea to put the bundled bills together; there is actually a transparent string on the wooden wall to hold the clips.

Kurtos Spiroll, Queensbay Mall

Few months back, I had no idea that there is a Queen Street inside Queensbay Mall, until I accidentally walked by and found out some great restaurants and cafes; thanks to my curiosity. Was shopping with my parents and decided to give it a try in Kurtos Spiroll.

The cafe is quite simple with white, blue and earth colors which at first give me a feel of ocean. I think it might be due to the bluey signboard with the seashell-like logo beside it; the seashell-like logo is actually Kurtos Kalacs (a.k.a Chimney Cake). Only 2-3 tables are available in the cafe and the air-con supply is not sufficient, either the shop is too near with the car park or they baked the chimney cake inside the cafe which make the surrounding so warm. 

Same like other restaurants, frames with artistic photo (of course related to the cafe one lah~) are hang on the wall, to twiddle your eyes and tummy while you waiting for your food to serve. Laugh! 

Here comes the simple menu for a la carte and set mealp; there are 9 choices for you to choose under 3 different categories, Original Kurtos, Favourite Kurtos and Premium Kurtos. Next, you can choose your choice of dip and beverage, too bad the beverages are limited especially for cold drinks; I suggest you all to take cold beverage in the warm environment. 

This is the promotion they held when we were there, lucky us to have denim element on us and grab a free hot beverage and one handmade dip. I only noticed the signboard after I made my order so we got extra drink and dip. 

Here's the making of your Kurtos Kalacs inside the cafe, opened-air; I wonder how they ensure the cleanliness of the Kurtos Kalacs for whole day long, maybe the dust will stick on the chimney cake! Hmmp, they were inside my tummy and I didn't suffer from diarrhea. 

The dips! I straightly ignore the chocolate dip once I first saw it, I knew I shouldn't have this thought, but I just can't help it. Left 2 for me to grab - Butterscotch and Garlic Cheese; the butterscotch is way too sweet for me but the garlic cheese is really suit my taste-buds.

Premium Chicken Floss on the left and Original Hungarian on the right. If you order the chimney cake which is with toppings, then the dip is not necessary as the topping already added some aroma on the chimney cake. I still prefer the original one dip with garlic cheese. Yum yum!

Change to have a better life

I still remember I complained once that Facebook had nothing to see/read after-since I graduated and started my working journey. Yet, nowadays we get all the uncover true stories from Facebook on the Malaysia election issue, thanks to those who share and care about our country. I'm glad that most of the youngsters fulfilled their duties to the nation as a voter, so did I voted for the first time in GE13. As you can read from Facebook or newspaper (those reliable one), this is the dirties election throughout 55 years; people started to ask: Where is our democracy? I love Malaysia like everyone else, that's why we fight for a cleaner Malaysia, hoping that we can have a better life as Malaysians, not only Malays, Chinese and Indians. So fighters, continue fight for the right and don't lose hope.

Dragon-i with family

Didn't really have a birthday party until now and I don't think that I want to have one either; to me, sitting down together with family and friends to have a nice meal is more than enough. Always, I celebrate my birthday with my daddy as his birthday is five days before mine, this is to make it easier and save. Laugh. This year, with my sister and her hubby, we one family went to Dragon-i to dine. Just a simple dinner and ordered a few veges (we don't really know they famous with what as we normally go for their ramen).

Titbits. RM2

芙蓉塞螃蟹 . RM18

重慶雞煲 . RM38

醬燒鮑菇茄子魚片 . RM25

蠔皇什菌扒豆腐 . RM22

京式宮保蝦球 . RM35

I don't have the English name for all the veges we ordered, so bear with me on this but I think photos already show everything here. When the waitress first served the egg, I was like: Yucks why the egg yolk is raw one? but after we stirred the egg white with that, this dishes turn out quite well! Of all the veges we ordered, I feel that the Stewed Chicken not so attractive to me, too normal and maybe not suit our taste-buds; the rest are quite okay. Just a short update for my birthday celebration eating. 

How can we not order the signature Shanghainese Steam Meat Dumplings when we dined in Dragon-i? No matter how many times I tasted it, I still fall for them over and over again. That's all for this post, I'm rushing out for my dinner now, Ciao~
