This is the result of my cookies. You can actually decorate your cookies with marshmallow on top.

After the cookies is done, place marshmallow on top and bake it for 10 mins at 170 °.C. If your oven is very hot, then 5 mins is enough. Marshmallow creates a very chewy and sticky texture. Strongly recommend! ;) 

Italiannies Gurney Paragon

Italiannies Gurney Paragon

Due to its kinda bad day for me, someone made me cry and then rush to me after his work.

A bit sad a bit touched xD so I didn't take much photo on this but if you always shopping at Paragon, you will see it, as you pass by, they have a really nice environment. 

French toast dipped with olive oil and balsamic vinegar

Before you order anything, or I should say, once you sit down, they will serve you this plate of starter immediately.

I remembered my bf said, "Seems like we can't run away" Hahahaha xD

Its a soft and healthy bread. Wonder if they have sell bread only :3

Seafood Risotto (Regular)

Did you saw that big big spoon? This is our first visit and we never heard of any review from others.

We ordered two dishes and one cake. We both regret immediately when I saw the first dish sending in. It states regular, but its a really big portion like for 2 pax. 

Take a closer look of this dish. Full of seafood. I know the first impression you look through the menu, you sure think its very expensive but..

look at those seafood that they put inside this dish. Every spoon you eat contains seafood. Risotto with seafood fragrance. Superb! <3

Spaghetti w/v Meatball (Regular)

This is scariest food among so many. These two meatballs are guy's fist size.

Tomato spaghetti is nice, not very creamy but classic! Meat lover, go hunt for this. You will definitely like this! Yummy! 

Tiramisu

My favourite part T.T I always wanted to try it again because its the best Tiramisu I have had, so far.

The base is wet with wine, very rich in mascarpone cheese. Its dessert from heaven.

Tiramisu is word from italian, meaning "pick me up" or "lift me up"

I feel that when I eat this, lift me up to heaven~ <3

Conclusion: Most of the dishes are around rm30+ but it comes in a really big portion, if you share with your friends, it won't be too costly. Once awhile is always okay because good food makes people's day. ;)  

Ben's Gurney Paragon

Ben's is a restaurant located in Gurney Paragon. 

I always thought its a very expensive restaurant, ya it is but not as expensive as I thought.

Everything in there, just worth a try. 

 Let's see its environment first, since we have to wait for the food. The environment is great. Classic yet creative.

Rough photo of how it looks like.

A beautiful classical lamp

2D lamp xD

While waiting, you can actually play some games. There's no "dare" for you but you have to answer some "truth". Its a good game for a group of friends.

 Creamy Tomato Spaghettini

Simple and nice. Yummy! <3

Golden Soft Shell Craft Spaghettini

My favourite dish! Its a little bit spicy carbonara with very yummy deep fried soft shell crab. It tastes like heaven!! Strongly recommend! <3

 Spaghettini Carbonara

Its Carbonara with cheese slides on top, with bacon and portobello. Incredible dish! Yummy! :D

Nachos Libre

Their sour cream is very very very nice!! The green sauce is very nice as well. Great sauce with crispy corn chips. Thumb up for this!

Iced chocolate

 an ordinary name but appeared in an extraordinary way. Top with vanilla ice cream, bottom of the drink is caramel. Omgggggg Chocolate lover gonna crazy for this! 

Hot chocolate

 Temperature different, the way their serve also different. This time they add in marshmallow! I still prefer iced chocolate. xD

Black Forest

Best Black Forest I've ever tried! and the white colour crispy thing, I don't know what is that, it has a sweet taste. The whole dessert is good! 

Apple Crumble!!

It comes with vanilla ice cream. No word can describe this. Really tasty. [Drooling] 

Satisfied face xD

Friends that always accompany me to hunt for good food. Appreciate them! <3.<3

Conclusion, the price range is around RM20-25, which is still affordable for me. Ben's, a restaurant that worth a try! ;)

Passage Thru India

Malaysia is full of different food as we have so many different races.

One of it is Indian Food.

This restaurant is "Passage Thru India" 

The whole restaurant environment is kinda romantic yet mystery. I like their lamp so much haha xD

Before they serve you with main course, the waiter will first serve you with this Indian chips and Green sauce. This green sauce is actually a type of mint sauce with some traditional recipe. 

This is the wall behind my friend, one of the artistic decoration. When I first step in the restaurant, I can know by looking at their environment, this owner must be someone who loves art and have a good taste in it. 

Its a lamb curry and chicken masala with Naan

They offer various type of naan, plain naan, butter naan and etc.

Having dinner here is not costly, yet traditional and yummy.

The environment is nice and CLEAN. 

Location: 1K, Jalan Sungai Kelian, Tanjung Bungah, Penang Island 11200, Malaysia

Its the same row as 7 eleven and Happy Mart.

Coffee Journey

This post is mainly for cake and coffee lover like me.

This new cafe- Coffee Journey offer the best cake in town.

Their cake is very unique in taste and design. Its kind of rare in the market.

Triple Berries Crepe w/v Green Tea Latte

P/S They have the best green tea latte in town. After I've tried so many Green Tea Latte. I still feel theirs is the best!

Three different kind of berries, give your tongue a different sensation. Their crepe has a very clear layer and its kinda different from creamy crepe. Their crepe is not as creamy as other does but it just tastes differently in a good way. Its delicious!

Cappuccino Cheesecake

They're so smart in making this. Instead of just cheese layer, they add in brownies which makes the cake taste perfect! and the cheese layer is different from the traditional one. It doesn't appear like firm cheesy layer but soft and a little bit creamy cheese layer.

Organic Hot Chocolate

What make me surprise is the word "organic". It tastes like hot chocolate, of course, but not that sweet and thick in flavor. Its not the creamy type and offer a chocolate aroma. I just couldn't forgot about this drink. Its so tempting.

Location: 

Ground Floor Island Plaza, Beside Tutti Frutti

Best Pasembur In Town

This Pasembor is located at Beach Street, beside the old Standard Chartered Bank.
As you can see from the business board, 
They've been selling Pasembur since 1945

I don't think this is included in the tourist listing.
but, its definitely a must to eat at Penang. :)

Homemade Caramel Recipe

Making caramel is as easy as ABC.
Its really easy to make by mixing everything together.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of corn syrup
1/4 cup of melted butter
1/2 cup of condensed milk
1/2 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar
Pint of salt

Steps:

Mix everything together and microwave it for 6 minutes, take it out every two minutes and stir it as the mixture form two layers, we don't want it to happen as the final product.

Kindly remind that you must use a very big bowl for this, I used a medium bowl which the mixture cover half of the bowl, ended up, the caramel explode! Caramel burst out from the bowl and stick all over my microwave.
A lot of works to be done to clean the microwave.

As my bowl is too small, I try another method, which is the traditional one. Warm the pan and put some butter then pour the mixture into it, it will slowly turns into golden brown caramel after few minutes.

If you use pan like me, after take out the caramel, no need to wash it immediately, just soak it with water and one hour later the crystallized sugar will dissolve in water and you can wash it away easily. 

Conclusion: Caramel is all about sugar, its really sweet and increases the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, if can, avoid the use of caramel, sometime you can replace it by using honey which is more natural and healthier!
