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!

Route 9 @ Bishop Street, Penang.

Hello everybodeh! Just ended my finals few days back and I'm officially done with my diploma course! Fingers crossed for my cgpa and can't wait for my convo which will probably be held in October, so excited to wear the graduation robe! Should probably get a job soon but that can wait for awhile, relaxation is all I need at this moment. Well, food is one of many ways to get myself relaxed, so recently Angela, Kerli and I (Colomono flowers) have paid a visit to a new restaurant, Route 9 located right beside Goh Kaki. It will be officially launched in August but they're already open for test run purpose.

We sat far away from the entrance and not long after it was already crowded with people!
They have a wide range of menu from chicken, fish, spaghetti, lamb and beef! And they're all very affordable without additional charges, and of course what caught my attention is their portion, so in love with their portion!

Besides, there are two types of set to be choose from: 
RM2 set: peach tea/ lemon tea + dessert (ice cream)
RM6 set: mushroom soup + peach tea/ lemon tea + dessert (ice cream) and we all went for the RM2 set.

Kerli's Route 9 Chicken Chop. I like how they separate the gravy and the chicken so that the chicken that's supposed to be crunchy wouldn't get soggy. And unlike other restaurants that use mushroom sauce or brown sauce, here it tasted more like a curry based gravy which was appetizing (Angela abandoned her cheesy sauce for this).

Angela's Chicken with Cheesy Sauce, also comes with butter rice. The cheesy sauce tasted absolutely delicious! Tho I'm not a fan of chicken breast but it mixed really well with the sauce, thumbs up for it I couldn't stop mixing it with my mashed potatoes. And I had the most of it since Angela prefer another sauce.

My Milky Oat Chicken. It's basically deep fried chicken drizzled with milky sauce and honey, so the whole thing was crispy and sweet! I love sweet stuff like a lot so it tasted like the chicken version of roti bom/ roti susu to me, recommended to those who're into sweet stuff!

We got a complimentary Chicken Skewer from the boss! Not sure why but thank you! The meat is tender and very soft to be chewed. Still, I think they can improve on the taste cause it tasted like satay to me. One more thing to be improved on is their dessert as they only have ice cream for now, hoping they can add more dessert choice onto the menu. Other than that, the overall is still good, the cleanliness, display, taste are up to standard. 

WIll be blogging about the famous Nitrogen Coconut ice cream from The Safe Room on my next post, stay tuned!
