The end of August 2011 not only indicates the coming of hari raya but also the arrival of Malaysia independence day, which drops on 31st of August every year. For those who are not celebrating Raya, holiday it is! =) Long holidays are meant for gathering, gathering and gathering! I took this golden opportunity to meet up with some penangites who I've been not meeting up for months or years.
All of us know the first meal is the most important meal to kick start a day. Thus, I started of my day by having brunch at Soul Kitchen@Muntri Street.
Al Limone Pasta@Soul Kitchen
Beside the main course, we had their signature dessert-Tiramisu cake! Sorry for no display picture for this as we're too excited to eat it :P Tiramisu cake with earl grey tea was quite a good combination as the tea was believed to be able to wash off the greasiness in the mouth as well as your tummy :D
After a long walk in Gurney, we decided to have something light after a quite heavy brunch. As we wanted to redeem the paddington pancake's deal that my friend bought from milk-a-deal previously, we went to the newly opened branch-Paddington@Gurney. For the deals, we're only allowed to order the pancakes from their special menu, so we picked a strawberry-apple pancake and a cinnamon-peach pancake in the end. Each dessert was complemented with a glass of beverage.
After walking around in Gurney for a bit, we headed to Straits Quay for another date. As we reached there an hour before our dinner date, so we went to four season bakery to redeem the France imported macarons as my friend had another coupon from milk-a-deal. ^^
The sweetness and fluffiness as well as the crunchiness was just so perfect! *Highly recommended*
Then, we headed to Blue Reef to meet up with the rest. I had a hard time making decision as I'd done some research a day before and found out that most of their reviews were not so good. After struggling for some time, I decided to order BBQ chicken with buttered rice while the other friend had their famous fish n chips.
Seriously no comment for this!
BBQ chicken with buttered rice. This was not disappointed :)
