Beans Heritage Soya Bean Curd

Bean Heritage is one of the best dessert in Georgetown area Penang which is in the Kopitan Classic. One of the famous dessert there is TaoFu Hua (Soya Bean Curd). For the TaoFu Hua, it melts in your mouth. Texture is so light that when the brown sugar is sprinkled on it, the brown sugar immediately immensed and mixed so well.

THE SOYA BEAN CURD

Not only do they have desserts. They also serve main meals. One classic Penang hawker dish which is Penang Laksa is definitely a good try. Also to recommend is the Seafood Spaghetti

The price of the food is reasonable. Besides the dining environment is pretty good. You may enjoy good food in great ambience with your love one.

vegetarian spaghetti - RM22

mushroom and chicken pie - RM30 (alright)

spaghetti with chicken breast - RM29 (not recommended)

For first times, have your heavy meals outside and have your desserts at China House. Their cakes are really good. Made fresh everyday and is really exquisite. As for their savoury dishes, i would say they're below par a little. Or perhaps, we didn't make the right order that night.

By the way, they have different menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

As they occupy the whole stretch of house from Beach Street all the way to Victoria Street, they have another portion of the restaurant which serves as a lounge and has band playing at night.

Snow House, Precinct 10

A friend told me that in Hong Kong, you must have dessert after meal and no matter how full you are after the particular meal. It's like a norm the Hongkies have practised. Recently, i have also noticed that Penang has got more of these "desserts" shops conquering the market. Most of them were outlets originating from Hong Kong, Taiwan and some local.

Take Snow House for instance, specialized in different types of soya bean combination. Basically, the main dessert is soya beancurd (tau foo fah) but with different types of toppings of which you can choose from such as red beans, green beans, ground nuts, herbal jelly and many others.

soya bean curd with sweet potato, red beans and lotus seed RM6.90

black soya ice with taro Q balls, baby pearls and peanuts RM6.90

soya bean drink with baby pearls RM6.90

I think what attracts customers were the different varieties of toppings for the soya bean curd. Other than that, i don't find the desserts any different than a normal bowl of soya bean curd besides its price!

However, it is still worth a try.

DeTitle Dining Cabin @ Lorong Selamat, Penang

There are many websites nowadays offering attractive deals. Competition is so tough that some businesses are willing to give as much as 70% discount just to attract crowd. I was attracted to this pay nothing for RM8 discount offered at an online website recently. The voucher can be claimed at DeTitle Dining Cabin and since this place is close to my work place, i decided to give it a try.

Nevertheless, I was rather disappointed as the food was not up to expectation and despite the RM8 discount, prices are actually not on the lower end.

DeTile is uniquely painted in purple so you can hardly miss the sight of this shop

with an extra RM5, you are entitled to unlimited servings of soup and dessert

jasmine tea RM6.90

spaghetti bolognaise RM19.90

oriental seafood spaghetti RM19.90

aglio olio RM16.90

cheese-baked macaroni RM18.90 (plain); RM20.90 (with ham)

spicy fried spaghetti RM19.90

some desserts

In a nut shell, this would be my first as well as last visit. For the portion that I am getting is not on par with the price I am paying. Despite so, I must commend on the polite service. Still, they lack workers and thus waiting time is exceptionally long as well.

Brussels Beer Cafe @ Gurney Paragon

My first visit to a German restaurant was definitely a memorable one. Brussels Beer Cafe caters not just alcoholic drinks (discounted drinks during happy hour til 8pm) but also decent food at very reasonable prices. Located at the heart of tourist spot in Penang, the newly opened Gurney Paragon is definitely the talk-about place to visit in town.

hot chocolate RM6

iced mocha RM8

coffee latte RM8

liege salad RM16.80 (one of the best salad ever tasted)

  

pork burger RM18.80

Brussels' menu focuses more on pork dishes. However, they do have quite a selection of salads. So, no worries if you not a pork-person.

I would also give a full rate for its services provided.

Delicious @ Straits Quay, Penang

I recently brought my folks to try out the much talk-about restaurant names Delicious, located at Straits Quay. Delicious has a few other outlets in KL as well. They are actually famous for their desserts.

pretty nicely-set seatings

  

However, we went there for the main dishes and I was just trying out their service as usual before deciding if I want to visit again. Sadly to say, their service can only be summarized into 1 word i.e. "horrible". I could still remember walking into the place and having waited for 30 seconds before we decided to look on our own for a place to sit. Then, a sweet-looking waitress came to us and told us that we should have been instructed by them as to where to sit and not choose our own seats. But, hello!! We stood there for 30 seconds. 30 seconds is long enough to notice that your customers are waiting to be seated. But, they did nothing and the sweet-looking waitress even showed a sulky face when we told her that nobody attended to us, resulting in us selecting our own place to sit. She didn't even apologise on Delicious' behalf before turning around and walking away rudely.
As we sat rather near to the entrance, we could see how the other customers were turned away as well by the other waitresses. I wonder how did these people even pass their interview, earning themselves a place at such prestigious restaurant, which hosted the "afc's next celebrity chef".

I was really disappointed in the service given that day and am doubting if I should return.
However, so much said on the service, I must still commend on the food.

chicken and leek pie RM20.90 (recommended)

cappuccino RM9.90

pesto chicken RM39.90 (recommended)
