Caffeine Chemistry Coffee @ Chime Heritage, Penang.

Hello readers! So after weeks of relaxation (slacking), I've recently started working as a freelance video editor at Colomono, finally applying what I've studied in college to work ohyeahhhh. Before I started working, I managed to try out Caffeine Chemistry Coffee with one of my friends, Virginia before she went back to Ipoh and thanks to her for the introduction :)

The number of seats is limited downstairs so you might want to head upstairs, outdoor seatings are available as well.

A very simple yet comfy environment.

Menu (without additional charges).

The food is quite limited when we visited, there were only cakes, sandwiches, a breakfast set and salads (new menu has been added currently). So we ordered their only two types of sandwiches:

My Cajun Chicken sandwich, mad love for their mashed potatoes! It wasn't seasoned heavily so the taste wasn't as tasty as KFC's but I supposed it was healthier this way, not to mention they were really soft and warm when served! As for the sandwich itself, I like how they provide the meat generously, I'd say the taste can still be improved, the cashier said it's a spicy type but the taste was kinda bland for me, and the bread used (ciabatta) was rather hard for us to cut or even chew, maybe the bread is made that way but I'd personally prefer croissant or other breads that are softer, that'd make the eating easier.

Virginia's Pesto Chicken- If compared to my cajun chicken, I'd say the pesto chicken has stronger flavor of spices and more appealing in my opinion. She had the same likes and dislikes as I do, we both like the mashed potatoes but not so much on the bread, overall it's still good as the price is as affordable as RM12 nett! That's all for now, till then, see ya!

Monkeycup @ Chow Thye Road, Penang.

Finally a date out with my darling ever since my semester break started! It was a last minute change of plan as we actually planned to meet on the past Saturday but darling decided to bring it forward, couldn't wait to see me eh? :3 And of course there wasn't any plan of where to go or what to eat since it was so sudden, thus I did some googling and off we went to Monkeycup. Monkeycup specializes in Thai food unlike most cafes that sell mainly Western and Italian, the only two non-Thai options are croissant and Angelababie (creamy pasta), dessert like cakes and creme brulee are available as well.

Outdoor and indoor seating.

Being a creamy food lovers, darlingandI decided to try out their Angelababie! We have also ordered their creme brulee which was so affordable!
In love with their creme brulee! The sweet caramel layer was really thick and wasn't over burnt, when combined with the brulee, just mmmmmm, the brulee itself was really smooth, I could have it all to myself!

Angelababie! Despite their main focus is on Thai food, but it didn't fail to satisfy me, the cream sauce is of course, creamy (what did I just say) yet not to the point that it was greasy, everything worked perfectly well with the sauce, wouldn't share it with my darling if I knew it was this good teehehe hadn't had enough!
Girls may consider ordering this because when it was served, the waiter would of course "intro" the dish by saying Angelababie, indirectly calling you Angelababy *laugh* OK I'm so lameee.
To sum it up, Monkeycup serves quality food with affordable pricing, will definitely come back for more!

My ootd.

The Safe Room @ Campbell Street, Penang.

It's dessert time! So after dinner session with Colomono Flowers which I've mentioned in my prev post, it was roughly 10pm and we figured it was still early for us to go back home, so off we went to The Safe Room located near Moustache Houze. It's not just-another-cafe kind of cafe as it's famous for its nitrogen coconut ice cream which will be introduced in a bit, also their ice cream are all made from fresh fruit! Non-fruit flavours are available as well such as mocha and oreo.

The cafe is easily noticeable by the S lock signboard glowing at night.


And the cafe was sooo crowded and we had to wait for like 20 mins to get our table, but good things are worth the wait eh? Was kinda glad that other customers were waiting patiently as well and no one cut queue! So after we got our table we made our order at the cashier.

Our order:

Butterscotch latte with a rather phailed chocolate syrup art but it's ok look doesn't matter, the taste was still ok tho.

Rose Cheese Cake which all of us loved at first bite! It was rather smooth and soft like we were eating whipped cream in solid form, each bite was filled with strong flavour of rose and the best part is that it was not greasy at all, we were basically complimenting non stop for like five minutes.

Behold the famous nitrogen coconut ice cream! Didn't expect that I could try it out since it's one of their signatures and it's selling fast, almost every table has it, lucky lucky us. Was kinda sad tho because the nitrogen gas only stays for awhile after it was served, unlike their Dragon breath (popcorn with nitrogen gas) that allows you to breath the gas out (like shisha lol. no I've not shisha before). Still, the coconut ice cream itself is so freakin good! It tasted like shaved ice with a very strong coconut taste and it's very cooling, just right for Penang's hot weather.

After dessert and some talking, it's picture time!
One of the many failed photos we took hehe. 

That's all for now, see ya!
