Food Review: Kaffa Kafe@Straits Quay, Penang

Kaffa has three outlets in Penang but we chose to go to the one that was recently opened in Straits Quay. Also, it was our first time there as well. We ordered two sets of meal and some appetizers since we skipped our breakfast and lunch that day.

The mushroom soup was just nice and reasonable portion. However, could have given us more garlic breads though.

Our first appetizer was Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken Salad. Portion enough for two persons. It was good so no negative comments on this.

Our next appetizer was Grilled Beef Bites. The portion was reasonable and it was good as well. Not disappointing at all.

One of our main courses was Baked Seafood Pasta. However, too much of it will make you feel sick. Fortunately we were sharing our food.

I love everything about steaks and ribs so I ordered Braised Beef Rib. Though the portion may be small (fortunately we ordered appetizers), it was good and the boyfriend loves it.

And if you want to stay longer in the café but got nothing to do, just borrow their iPad and play some games! Bawesome, right? However, you are only entitled to use it for 2 hours. No, you do not have to pay any cent. All you’ve got to do is to register in their register book. I wonder how many iPads they have in the café..

Anyway, to wrap things up, if you were to drop by Straits Quay in Penang, Kaffa Kafe ain’t a bad place to go to. Just head over there and you will agree with me.

A New Chapter of Life

It has been almost three months now that I had moved to a new place, Penang. It was not an easy decision to make and seriously, it is hard to come from me. I am taking the risk though and I can look back no more. I know I had not been blogging that often. Procrastination ftw!

So, when I first arrived Penang and to his cove, for the love of.., the house was in a mess! I knew what was coming but I did not expect to see pictures like these! Anyway, fortunately I started my new job next month and I had two weeks of break. Therefore, I had time to do some cleaning at home.

After spending about three to four days locking myself at home just to do some cleaning, I finally came to this.

Unbelievable, right? However, due to my skin as well as my nails being sensitive in nature, there were side effects and up to date, they are yet to recover. Well, domestic life, huh?

My Triple Eleven Birthday!

I believe most of you all thought I had a fancy dancy celebration since this happens only once in a lifetime; hey, i am not gonna live for another thousand years, am i?

I was in the middle to go into a deep sleep when he came into the room, with a cake, singing a birthday song. Seriously, I did not see it coming. Not from him.

It was so sweet of him. Plus, my stomach was growling ever since I got into bed. Therefore, perfect timing!

That day itself, I was really busy at work. I will be doing my training in Kuala Lumpur next week so, I had to clear some of my paper work before I could leave. As for him, unfortunately, he was really sick and stayed at home; no, he was not pretending and then make a surprise for me. How I wish it was. Most females love surprises, don’t they?

We had a simple and nice 5-course meal at Salsas Restaurant. Initially he wanted to bring me to this German place but he could not play well with patience due to massive jam. Therefore, we skipped it.

To kick off our 5-course meal, we first had our warm seafood salad. The portion was small and well, nothing special about it.

Later, we had our soups; Cauliflower cream and lamb soup respectively. I personally did not prefer the latter one. Lamb soup just tastes so weird.

And after our long awaited moment, these are our main courses. I personally chose the first one but in the end, I did not enjoy it. Not I did not love steaks but I guess it was due to that foul blood smell (from Haji) at the roadside that I always passed by to get my car, I could not take medium rare steaks. I hope I will get over it. Fortunately, he was willing to switch his main course with me else, I would puke, trust me.

As for desserts, it was written cake, fruits and ice-cream and I really did not see the above coming. Yeah, there were cake, fruits and ice-cream, wtf

Movie next? Nope, he was really sick so we did not spend the day till late. However, we had fruits by the coast at this residential park close to where we stay and enjoyed full moon together.

Like aforementioned, it was just simple and nice. He probably could have done better buttttttttt, I doubt it lol
