Now Penang Island has two donut cafe, one is Big Apple Donuts in Gurney Plaza and another one is J.Co Donuts and Coffee in Queenbay Mall. Thanks to my sponsors (do support my sponsor =]), I have got my paycheck and decided to buy some donuts home to treat my parents.

I went there and saw a lot of flavour and didn’t know what to pick.

Then the donut girl introduce me the 2 dozens mini donut pack which consists all of the flavours in one box. Since no need to waste my time picking, I got that one home. The tiny little mini donuts were cute and very fast to eat finish because it’s small.

I am not really a donuts guy, I don’t know what the difference between donuts made by different donuts cafe, I think they are all the same. What do you think? Which donuts cafe you prefer?

On a lovely Sunday afternoon, I went to Island Plaza with my mom. I was pretty hungry at that time and we didn’t know where go for lunch, there’s only Forum Chinese Restaurant, KFC, Starbucks, Coffee Bean and Dome at Island Plaza. I didn’t want to eat Chinese food or fried chicken, so in the end went to Dome for lunch.

To be honest, this was my first time eating out at Dome, never been into any Dome cafe before.

Well, the cafe was pretty nice, but somehow I like the feel of Starbucks Coffee more. It’s quiet on that day, there’s only like 4 tables include mine were occupied. Flipped through the menu and it’s all western food. I ordered a glass of Vienna coffee. The serving was nice, I like the cream on top flowing out and the glass, very cool. It’s now something different from Starbuck’s. I like this.

As for my lunch, I ordered a Lasagne. I was excited when I saw the cheese melting on top of the beef. Western food’s serving is always small but the smallnest did fill my stomach much. Although the cheese seems a lot, somehow the tomato taste are stronger than the cheese. So far, in my life, I didn’t tried Lasagne of many place before, and this was not bad, though the price was a little bit high at around RM20.

Do you like lasagne?

We usually eat minced (pork) meat rice out there but at Old Town, it’s minced chicken instead of pork because they are Halal restaurants.

One Saturday afternoon, I was at Queenbay Mall, hungry and didn’t want to spend a lot on lunch so I went to Old Town which once was my favourite eating-out place when it first opened in Penang, but sooner I got bored on their food so I didn’t go there quite some times already until that afternoon.

Went through the menu, I wanted something that can fill my stomach well and I needed rice, so I ordered something that I haven’t tried before, their Homemade Minced Chicken with Flavoured Rice.

Served with an egg and plenty of minced chicken meat, it tasted salty and something new to me. It did filled my stomach full but somehow for RM8.30, I think it’s a little bit expensive for just minced chicken and an egg.

This Old Town Cafe that I had visited locates at the North Zone of Lower Ground Floor in Queensbay Mall.

My birthday, it was like 2 months ago and I found some foodies to share with you guys. On my birthday that happened two months back, I wanted a place that I can have some nice western food and also serves cake, Manila Place at Gurney Plaza was where we went to. Friend told me to go to Secret Recipe but personally doesn’t like the food that much, but not the cake.

The Manila Place serves Asian and Western food, cakes and coffee. This was actually my 2nd visit to the restaurant ala cafe.

Getting into the food, me and brother ordered the set dinner which comes with a soup, main course, dessert and coffee. It’s always more reasonable than ordering it ala carte. Mom didn’t eat much, she just ordered the Soup In A Bun, which is one of their famous, mushroom soup filled in a dugged big bun. I think it’s just look pretty, after all it’s still the same mushroom soup that comes with my set dinner, except there’s lot of bread for you.

Salmon Steak was what I’ve ordered. Looking pretty with the food presentation, served with some potato wedges and some vegetable. When I say some, it’s really some, the portion was quite small and it’s not enough to fill the tummy of mine. The salmon feels kinda hard, they should have put in more gravy as it tasted rather tasteless to me.

Here is brother’s Sirloin Steak and looked good. He told me it’s good, I did not try it though. =)

Cakes are must have for birthday, so I ordered two slices of cake, one is a all time favourite, black forest and another is the coffee cheese cake. The cakes were not so sweet and it’s good, cakes that are very sweet are not good cake. I like the coffee cheese more.

Manila Place is located at the alfresco area of Gurney Plaza.
