Ice Cream

It's been really hot lately and the perfect way  to cool down that heat is to have a scoop or two of some delicious ice cream!

1. Inside Scoop
I'm sure most of you have heard about Inside Scoop before since everyone has been talking about it have decided to give it a try and write a review about it :)

# Pistachio ice cream on a Chocolate Cone- RM11.80 (If I'm not mistaken)
To me making pistachio ice cream is probably like trying to make a scramble egg it may look easy but without the right balance and technique you won't succeed.
I'm not sure about you people but I prefer my ice cream less sweet , fragrant and if it's called Pistachio ice cream I would really hope to see tiny bits of Pistachio in it !
I'm sorry but I think when it comes to Pistachio Ice cream " CIELO " made the best ! Inside scoop's Pistachio ice cream is too sweet , no doubt it's very fragrant but the sweetness just killed the ice cream however in terms of smoothness I would say they did a pretty good job :) Also I would like to give some credit to their Chocolate cone (It's a bit bitter so it cuts down some of the ice cream's sweetness)

Green one on the left is Pistachio ice cream , on the right is Durian ice cream

# Durian ice cream on a Chocolate Cone-RM11.80
I think this is one of my favorites ! It's so good ! This Durian ice cream is the bomb diggity ! It's not too sweet , it's really fragrant and it feels as though you are eating the Durian itself ! So creamy , So delicious , So much love for this amazing ice cream!!!!
If you ever come to Inside scoop do try this!

# Waffle with Double Scoop Ice cream
They did their waffles right! It's soft , moist and crunchy on the outside even though it's not as good as Brown Pocket's waffles but it's quite good ! :) We topped it with Dark Chocolate ice cream and Pistachio .
Their Dark Chocolate ice cream is really good too! It's a bit bitter , rich , creamy and fragrant . It's just the right balance ! So much love for this dark chocolate ice cream and their waffle!

Perhentian Island

Hello people ! I'm back again and I have so much to talk about my previous trip a 4D3N trip to Long Beach , Pulau Perhentian Kecil :)
I did not take the plane there! Me and my cheerleading friends went there by car it was a crazy 7 hours plus drive! It was fast and furious indeed!
We took a speedboat to Long Beach , Pulau Perhentian Kecil and I have to tell you it was amazing! :) The sea water there was blue it wasn't like an algae color! It was so clear , the sky was clear , air smells like sea water and it's just a breathtaking view! You're being surrounded by beautiful sea water , some trees and great company .

At the Jetty!With my friends (Ignore my no makeup face please it's too ugly!)

Speedboat ride!!! Cherish photobombed us !

On the speedboat to Long Beach!!! It's beautiful ain't it?! I've never been on a speedboat before this is my first time and it felt amazing! Like you're on a super bike going at 150 it's fast!

Baby sea turtles that the restaurant workers rescued or stole (not so sure about it)

Now now ain't it cute!!!

Selfie before jumping into the water!

 BUT FIRST! LET ME SHOW YOU THE OMBRE SEA WATER AND WHITE AS SNOW SAND! IT'S EUPHORIA !

It's about 4pm if I'm not mistaken! :) At Long beach you can't see the sunset you can only see the sunset at Coral Beach!

It's as though the ocean and sky meet here!

Mini boats to transfer people form the speed boat to shore :)

Proper picture from the speedboat of Long Beach before being transporter to shore by a mini boat :)

 

When we arrived at Long beach it was almost evening time so we checked into our hostel it was rather deep into the forest and a bit far from the beach at first ! There pathway wasn't properly done and there weren't any lights along the pathway so remember to bring a torch light when you're going out at night :) I suggest that you do not carry a big luggage bag too because there's no bell boy service ! Self service for all! We had dinner by the beach at this Family cafe place they serve pretty decent sandwiches (do keep in mind that this is a tourist area so prices of everything are marked up by quite a lot )

Chicken Mushroom Sandwiches (RM13 if I'm not mistaken)

Nasi Pattaya (RM12-15) I forgot the price but it's around there :) It's not too bad ! 

There's one particular cafe that I would highly recommend ! They have high speed internet (compared to any other place that I've been to on that Island) it's called EWAN'S CAFE! They serve really good food! I am so in love with their Butter Fish with rice and their CARROT MILK! If you go to EWAN's CAFE please try these two items out I give it a 9/10

Not the best picture but this butter fish is really good! It's about RM15 if I'm not mistaken! ONOMNOMNOM

SNORKELING!
What to do when you're at such a beautiful Island?! Of course you go Snorkeling silly!
We went snorkeling at Rawa Island and even had a simple BBQ by the beach while watching the sunset! Rawa Island is beautiful :) You can see corals and fishes from above , it looks so shallow but it's not so if you don't know how to swim please wear a life jacket!

#Snorkeling long trip (that means to 4-5 places is about RM45-50)
#Snorkeling short trip (meaning 3-4 places is about RM35-40)
#Snorkeling to RAWA together with Sunset (RM60) + BBQ (Depending on what you asked for example how many chicken and rice box)
I'm sorry if the prices are not accurate but these are a rough estimation so you'll know how much to bring  !

I have no idea what Island this is but it's near RAWA island!:)

Beautiful sunset!

There's no one else here except for us it's as though this is a private island for us !*Jokes*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry I'm not a very good photographer but ain't the water here clear and beautiful!

Speed boat ride again to Rawa Island! Grace was driving without a license D: (Jokes the driver got a bit bored so he let Grace take over the wheels! )

Peace sign that I made ! I'm all geared up but water keeps getting into my goggles D:

Coral reefs :)

More corals cause the fishes ran away when they saw us coming :< it was so difficult to get a good picture of all the fishes!

Part of the cheer team taking picture on a rock while the other cheer boys are preparing for ze BBQ!

That's me in the middle we were trying to do a pyramid and that's the best picture we've got before we all tumble down :D

PYRAMIDDDDDDD!!!!

PS: Do not step on the corals even though they look like a flat surface stone cause they might attack u!

If you really want to watch the sunset you can walk to Coral Beach from Long Beach :) That's Coral beach ! I prefer Long Beach because the Sand is as smooth as silk like literally! However in Coral Beach there's really a lot of corals washed up and it hurts when you walk on it :<

Sunbathing on the beach with my bitches ;D

Long beach tourist picture!

More pics!

Groupfie !!! ain't the water clear?! so beautiful !

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE GOING TO PERHENTIAN KECIL !
#1. If you're on a budget please bring snacks from home , water and some bread (because it is quite expensive Chipsmore there cost RM6 , Seamaster water cost RM4 and the list goes on so bring some food if you want to spend more on other stuff)
#2. Don't forget sunscreen it's really really hot ! Most of my friends got sunburn ! Get Sunplay 130SPF !
#3. Don't bring a big luggage if you don't need to cause you'll be carrying it all the way to your hostel/chalet !
#4. Torch light
#5. Extra towel to sunbath on the beach
#6. Mosquito repellent
#7. Bring extra money just in case of emergency
#8. You're gonna get sand on your bed sheets and everywhere
#9. Long beach has fire shows , shisha and mini pubs where you can buy booze
#10. Don't not leave your items unattended , my friends lost their wallets there
#11. Have dinner before 10:30pm because all the cafe and restaurant closes after that!
#12. Sunscreen cost RM45-50 there so you know the drill don't be smart and say you'll buy it there
#14. Bring goggles cause the sea water is really really salty I can barely open my eyes without it burning D;
#15. Always check and make sure the person in charge of your snorkeling plans knows where you want to go cause we were supposed to go for a long trip but ended up going for RAWA trip and BBQ but it's not too bad.
#16. Before you jump off the light house , jump in a projectile motion and vertically if you fall horizontally man it's gonna hurt !
#18. Bring a blanket cause the hostel there don't provide blankets or towels or extra floor mats
#19. Bring your good friends and just have a ball over there!

I hope you enjoyed this blog post!

Food in Penang

Penang is famous for their Asam Laksa and Cendol but little do you know that there are other hidden gems in this beautiful place!


1. B&W cafe (Black&White cafe)
   Loving the concept of this cafe , the service is superb and of course their coffee / drinks are amazing! it all cost around RM9-13 if I'm not mistaken!
 Must try in this cafe is
# B&W ice blended coffee (It's so good I promise you , you'll be asking for more! there's a mixture of coffee and chocolate it's rich but not too overpowering just the perfect drink!)

 

Address : No.94 Jalan Muntri,10200 George town, Penang, Malaysia.

Business Hour : 10.00 am - 10.00 pm ( Mon to Sun )

FB page:  https://www.facebook.com/BnW.COFFEE.HOUSE?rf=326900147457780

2. Cat cafe (PURREFECT)

I'm sure you've heard about the cat cafe in Penang the concept is rather new and cute to be honest! It's not every day you get to have tea with cats around you :) So we decided to give it a go ! It wasn't as PURRFECT as they said it would be , the cats ain't very friendly and the cheese cake is so-so but it's a good experience I would say :) some of the cats look very cute but then they aren't the friendliest cats in town I guess!

Address: 53, Jalan Muntri, George Town, Penang.
Business Hour : 10:00 a,  - 10:00 pm ( Mon to Sun )

3.   Old Green House (老青屋)

Don't look down on this old and tiny stall! They sell really good hokkien mee and law mee ! 

We went there around 11pm and it was still pack! It seems they only open for business around night time until 3am or 4am ! BTW if you're from KL , their Hokkien Mee is our prawn mee and their Law Mee is our Hokkien mee! You can add extra stuff in your noodles too! they have a variety of dishes for you to add into your noodles! :)

Variety of dishes for you to add on!

LAW MEE ON TOP AND HOKKIEN MEE AT THE BOTTOM

Hokkien Mee with eggs and pork intestines! Slurps

Law Mee with eggs , fish balls and pork intestines!

 I absolutely enjoyed their Law Mee and Hokkien Mee it's so delicious and flavorful :) She even taught me how to eat it in a different way that is to mix some Hokkien Mee with Law Mee and enjoy! It's so delicious you should try it too! Mix some together and you'll be surprise how good it taste .

Business Hour : Mon–Sat 8:00 PM–4:00 AM

 

4. China house , Penang

 The last trip I came over to China house their dessert definitely did not blow me away but it seems that they were very famous for their Carrot Cake and their Tiramisu cake so I've decided to give it a go again! 

TIRAMISU CAKE

CARROT CAKE

It  looks rather appetizing right? Well to be very frank the Tiramisu cake wasn't as good as Alexis ... the coffee taste wasn't strong enough . I'm a coffee lover so I would prefer it to be slightly stronger , and the problem with this Tiramisu cake is the candied nuts covering the cake they weren't generous enough and it wasn't very crunchy. If they were more generous with the candied nuts it would've been so much better! Next the Carrot cake I actually enjoyed it :) !

 

Overall it wasn't worth the price that I was paying , I would rather use that money to have some cake and tea at Alexis the quality would've been much better.

Address: 153 Lebuh Pantai, Georgetown, 10300 Georgetown, Pulau Pinang

 

5. Brown pocket (6th floor of Gurney Paragon Mall) 

I'm a huge fan of waffles ! I've never been able to find good waffles for a long long time ! After all the craze about brown pocket on social media I've finally decided to give it a try! After trying it I've come to a conclusion that these were the perfect waffles! Slightly crunchy but still moist inside :) Brown Pocket managed to deliver quality food for their consumer and that's what I love about them!

Environment :9/10 

Price: Expensive

Quality of food: 10/10

Waffles: BEST WAFFLES EVERRRRRR

I think this is called the Triple chocolate waffles

Caramelized banana waffles (If I'm not mistaken!)

For the triple chocolate , I personally enjoyed their dark chocolate a lot and their chocolate ice cream too! it goes very well with the waffle :) Crunchy , smooth and moist it was as though I was in heaven!

For the caramelized banana waffles , I love their caramelized banana it goes so well with their waffles too!

I would say they are PUURREFFECT! Definitely a must try otherwise you'll regret! These waffles are expensive price range RM18-20(around there) but it is all worth it!

Address : 6th floor , Gurney Paragon

 

6. Dim Sum House 点心之家

My friends from Penang told me this is the best place to get DimSum ! So I've decided to give it a try and the dim sum here is quite good :) and the price is reasonable considering that we've ordered so much I'm surprised it was so cheap!

I'm not a very big fan of dimsum cause I have it very often and I got a bit scared of dimsums (I'm sure some of u get me the feeling of having to eat the same thing over and over again it can get a bit scary) The dimsums here are quite fresh and tasty so I would recommend you to come here if u need a dimsum fix!

Address : Jalan Anson, 10400 Georgetown, Penang

Dupes for Good Dimsum

 

7.  Xin Cuisine @ Concorde Hotel , KL
If you people would like to try good dimsum you should head over to Xin cuisine @ Concorde Hotel , KL :)
They have a wide variety of dimsum , it's fresh and delicious! I absolutely love their Scallop Dumplings , Bacon Dumpling , Char Siew Sow and Shang Har Mee ( Fresh Prawn Noodles) !

Bacon Dumplings

Scallop Dumplings

Char Siew Sow

These are the must try when you're at Xin cuisine @ Concode KL 

(PS: Never ever have dinner there cause the last time we had Reunion Dinner there the food was absolutely terrible! they are only famous for their Dim Sum I guess :) )

 

That's about it for now I hope you enjoyed my blog post and would forgive me for any grammar mistakes I've made :)

Stay tuned for more updates!
