Back again to Chai Diam Ma

It has been months or even a year that I haven't step back into Chai Diam Ma. Few weeks back, I was around that corner and decided to have pay them a visit. It is nice to see Queen again even thou I do bang into her randomly outside. The place have not changed much but lesser furniture now. The menu had been updated and the food is as good as before. 

Cozy in the rocket

Yet another cafe in Penang, Cozy in the rocket. It was previously known as Amelia Cafe, currently closed down due to renovation. This new cafe is located at the corner of Beach Street and Armenian Street. Just nearby from the old location of the Amelia Cafe. You won't miss it because it is just at the corner before you enter into Armenian Street. They are open from 10am to 5pm daily except Monday.

I love about this new layout is that it is a bigger place and it offers both indoor (air con) and outdoor facilities. Besides that, the reno reminds me of Aussie style of cafes. So I guess, I will be going back quite often then. :) For those of you who loves your coffee and want a simple breakfast or lunch, you should try it.

This was my lovely breakfast. The bacon was nicely done - super crispy! 

Go and enjoy! :) 

Woody Cafe

My cousin recommended this new cafe in town. They had been in town for a couple months now. So I went there to try it out!

If you are in town, do visit them. Nice place to chill alone or hang out with family and friends.

Butterflies

Just tested out taken pictures of butterflies with a s3. The pictures turned out lovely. You can be the judge....

If you happen to visit Penang, do drop at the Penang Butterflies Farm.

My sketches

I bought the street art Notebook from Ernest Zachaveric and here are just my random sketches... While thinking what to "conteng" on the notebook, it does bring me back to my childhood time.

Streetart by Ernest Zacharevic

He is a young artist from Lithuania. He created street art paintings in various heritage street in Penang. These art painting are found at Lebuh Armenian, Lebuh Muntri, Chew Jetty, Lebuh Ah Quee, Lebuh Cannon and Lebuh Penang.

I went a few places to capture some of his art painting while it is still there. Besides that, I managed to meet up with him personally. Got his signature, pose with him and got his street art notebook. A very cool experience for me!

I got a few more places to visit to complete all his street art drawings....

Berlin Bier Houz

A nice place to chill and enjoy some German beer! WW and myself were there for the first time. They had a promotion 2 pines for RM 43 only. Perfect time to check out the beers... :)
The calamari was fresh and crispy but pricing wise is quite expensive. But worth the 1st time tasting and trying.
They have two branches in Penang. One of them in Straits Quay and another at Bayan Bay (besides Queensbay Mall)

Other than Coffee

Lately, I am falling in love with yogurts. Not those yogurts that you get in the supermarket but those with choices of toppings. There are so many varieties now in Penang. It can be found in Queensbay Mall; J.Co Donuts & Coffee and Coffee Bean. Nearby Queensbay Mall; Tutti Fruiti which is also available at Island Plaza.

If you head over to e-Gate, the newly open Mieleyo Premium Frozen Yogurt. Tried it during the weekend and it is not bad but I still prefer Fruuze Frozen Yogurt at Straits Quay.

These are the ones I had personally tried them. I believe there are a few more new shops at other part of Penang. Well, will continue with my yogurt hunting again.

Food: Chai Diam Ma @ Queens Street

Spotted another new CAFE in town! It's non other than Chai Diam Ma (in hokkien means sundry shop). They had just recently opened in Queens Street. It's a one way street and you won't miss it, as it is on your left hand side. It's a small cozy place but love the handcraft that is display there for sale and the home cooked food too.

 

Love the homely layout of the place. Some of the things used there are recycled stuff. It's for the environment. All the things displayed there are handmade. I got a few things there showing my support for the local artist. 

 

 

 

 

The place is not air con but they do provide fans to chill the place down. It reminds me of my childhood. The menu is limited but it's delicious. According to the owner, Queen Lee, they changed the menu almost on daily basis. Do take note that they are closed on Tuesday. 

 

  I personally recommend this place..... :)

Charity: Penang Twestival 2011

Penang Twestival Local 2011 was a great successes. We managed to raise RM7750 within 2 weeks and we are still hoping for some online donation till 31 March 2011. The event was held on 24th March 2011 at Sticks Fire Bistro, Queensbay Mall. The venue was sponsored by them and they also provide us with yummy finger food. We want to thank all the sponsors that contributed to this event and also the volunteers.

It was indeed a very busy evening for me. I didn't have the time to snap nice pictures and social around. Before the event started, I just managed to grab a few pictures to share with you all before getting really busy with the cash flow. It's purely just snap and shoot! 

  

 

Donation tickets are sold at RM40 each and 100% of the amount collected are given to NASAM directly. 

 

This is a home made teddy bear that my mum contributed. She bought the layout and design from a lady and then stuffed the bears up. Once she had done it, she will stitched all the parts together and fix the final finishing. It took her more than 1 month to complete 13 teddy bears. They were all sold out on that day itself! :) 

Blissful Memorial Park is our MAIN sponsor for that evening. They had sponsored many things and t-shirts were among the few items. Each of these t-shirts are sold, auctions or given as lucky draws. 

 

These are one and only special hand made earrings. We were told there is no identical earring in this world.  

 

Hungry? These are the feasting corner! :D
