Moustache Houze, Penang

Finally I'm fully recover from gastric and dreadful vomit routine and baby was really good for bringing me to Fruuze as I complained to him when I was sick hehe. Baby even brought me to this newly opened cafe, Moustache Houze without me asking hehe, he just saw me liking its Facebook page HERE and here we are yeehaa!

Moustache Houze is located at Campbell Street (full address at the end of post) and based on the shop's name, obviously it has something to do with moustache, the whole cafe is moustache-themed so you're able to see a lot of moustache in every corner of the shop, even their cups! It sells only light things such as cakes, crepes, tea, juice, coffee and special ice cubes.
The cafe is not too hard to find as the signboard is noticeable on the road.


The place is comfortable with air-con, suitable for backpackers as they have hostels upstairs too!

Books and magazines are provided to kill time, they have Wi-Fi service as well! :)

Moustache tree, feel free to count the number of moustaches in there.

Menu

Their furniture all look very comfy and nice, loving their displays and the cozy surrounding.
Please note that the seats above cannot be swing thou, was hoping they could :(

 The boy who brought me here *hugs and kisses*

We ordered their special ice cubes because we already had our lunch previously, special ice cubes are similar to normal ice cubes but instead of freezing water, they freeze strawberries, kiwis, espresso, chocolate and something-I-forgot
I ordered strawberries cubes and bf ordered espresso cubes.

 All the frozen fruit is served with soda (something like 7Up)

While the espresso and chocolate are served with cold milk, 
course you don't want them with 7Up do you?

To consume, just pour the milk or soda into the ice cubes and wait for them to melt
If you wanna melt them in your mouth well.... lol

Personally I like my bf's choice more which is the espresso cubes because the taste is stronger and it's fun watching the milk changed from white to brown slowly. For the strawberries, it's quite hard for me to 'catch' the taste of strawberries because the soda is quite sweet itself, maybe they should add more of the cubes or replace with fruit that is stronger in flavour like orange, dragonfruit, durian, ok cut the durian. But for non-coffee lover, you can still have a try on the fruit or chocolate cubes or some other drinks from the menu.

My boy was making himself at home lol.
Thanks to my boy once again for bringing me here!

Us with moustache :D Thank you MH for the photo!

In overall the cafe was good, clean air and clean environment, nice-looking cakes, creative drinks, suitable place for afternoon break or gathering with friends/family, but remember to fill your tummy up first because they do not serve any main course or heavy food :)

Yellow House in Relau, Penang.

This is my first time visiting this cafe and I didn't even know its existence until my mom told me. It is located in Relau area among a lot of shoplots and you hardly notice about it because it is located in the second floor.
(you can find the full address at the end of this post)
See what I mean?

Luckily they use this cardboard to attract people, or else it can be really hard to be found. 

:(
 What I saw while climbing up the stairs.
The moment you step foot in it, it will be totally different from the outside, it's small but the environment is great, it's quiet and smoke-free, it serves a variety of light things such as cakes, sandwiches, toast, and some main course like spaghetti and rice with affordable prices!

The design and display inside:
Inspirational quotes on the wall.

LOTS of photographs on the wall

A small corner to enjoy yourself without any noises from the traffic outside.

It is a suitable place for kids too! They can enjoy reading comics and trying out the juice/ cakes :)

The counter

The bar 

Okay I seriously don't know how to elaborate more on the displays, but seriously it is a great place to chill and a great choice for people who enjoy quiet surrounding! It provides free wi-fi and power sockets so students and workers can actually do their assignments or work here as well! It is much quieter than Starbucks and their wi-fi speed is fast. For coffee lover, you can come here and try out their coffee (which some I do not even hear before).  

 MENU
According to the owner, those under the "single origin" category are beans from different countries and as you can see there are different types of serving method, and I understand none of them lol.

And finally it has come to the food section.
Caffe Mocha. I like it because it smells really nice and it was not too sweet for me, and the owner obviously knows how to make a nice cup of coffee, look at the art! For people who do not like coffee, they have chocolate drink and fruit juice as well. 

 French fries. The sauce is not the ordinary ketchup, it's their home made sauce I suppose. My mom loves the sauce and she couldn't stop dipping it. It tastes like ketchup and you can actually taste some tiny pieces of tomatoes and some other ingredients in it. 

Rice set. The chicken and sauce have a little bit of spicy flavouring and I like it, but I hope they can come out with more western main course :)  

Mini pizza with curry chicken toppings. It is actually made from healthy wholemeal bread from the famous Rainforest Bakery with cheese, chicken and other ingredient which cut into cube. My mom actually requested them to change the toppings from tuna to chicken as my mom doesn't like fish, so if you have any problem with the ingredients used, you can try to negotiate with them and they will prepare it the way you like. SO NICE RIGHT?!

In overall the food and drink were good and the prices are cheap without any government tax and service charge, the first impression was good so there's no reason that will stop me from visiting them again!

Andy Warlord Burger in Pulau Tikus, Penang.

As I promised earlier in the previous post, this post is gonna be about Andy Warlord Burger! So what's so special about this another-burger-joint? Well, they do not use charcoal buns which is too mainstream nowadays, they use something I think no other joint has ever use them yet which are bagels and english muffin!
Bagel looks like doughnut but in a healthier way and english muffin is also being used in Mcdonald breakfast, it tastes fluffier and more powdery than bagel. 

Pardon me as I did not take much photos on it (only the burgers) so some(most) of my photos are from the Internet, credits will be given la okay :D
(photo taken from hkteoh)
I think the name of Andy Warlord is originated from the name of its General Manager, Andy Teh.

It is located in Pulau Tikus, if you do not understand the map you can find it after you have passed BlackBall on your left. Or full address will be given at the end of this post.

Menu
Now they have opened a new branch in Raja Uda! Remember to support them as they are very NICE! 

So I've ordered- Chicken Shaman. Chicken + cheese + bacons.Their chicken is the best according to feedbacks from my friends! 
Unlike New York Burger which grill their chicken thigh, Andy Warlord make it different by deep fry it!
I did not say NY Burger is not tasty and in fact I have visited NY Burger more times than Andy's.

Comments- I don't know how they marinate their chicken but I just love the taste of it! It has a hint of spicy flavor in it. The chicken is crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I hope they can make their bacons crispier though. The bun mixes well with the chicken, it is a fluffy-crunchy combination yum. All sum up together with their sauce, OH-EM-GEE. It is highly recommended by me! I will definitely visit them over and over again!

Bf's order- Pork Kodo Beast. Pork + cheese + bacons + egg. Was in love with the sunnyside up egg yolk! Until bf accidentally broke the egg yolk causing it to leak, what a waste -.- 

Comments- Bf thinks the pork tastes like Malay style and it is not that special. I think it is true because through the feedbacks of my friends the pork is the worst among the others. But from what I saw from other blogs, some say the pork patty is not packed enough as the meat will fall off when you bite. Some say the patty is thick and juicy and soft. Have a try yourself and decide what's best for you :)
