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: Charlie Brown Cafe @ Straits Quay

It's the FIRST Charlie Brown Cafe in Malaysia! Can't you imagine that it's in Penang and not Kuala Lumpur? :D Woohhooo..... I was there last weekend with my mum. However, prior to that visit, I was told to go with low expectation and reading review from those who had went. For me, I like to experience it for myself at least once while they are still open for business.

The food is below average and the coffee is just okay only. Sad but this is my honest opinion. The only thing I love about the place is they put 101% all out for the decoration and branding. Go and give it a try. :)

 

 

 

 

Love how each table have different design. This is the design on the table we sat on. 

 

It's for decoration purposes. 

 

 

 

 The souvenir shop is inside the cafe itself. 

 

It's the counter where we order our food. 

 

Orderd mushroom soup and pumpkin soup. Taste is below average for the pumpkin soup. 

This is my caffe late. Just love the design.  

 

The tartar sauce was good but the fish was okay only.

 

This is the worst pasta seafood I ever tasted. It's worst than drinking water. Hope they will improve.  

Food: Weissbräu German Cuisine

My second visit to Strait Quay and was there to have dinner with my girlfriends. The place is still brand new and not much changes from my first visit. I was looking forward to catch up with both my lovely friends; Peky and Jonie. Both of them have passion for photography as well and their shots are simply amazing. Just follow them at their blogs and website to check it out.

For dinner, we decided to try something new which non of us had. So we end up choosing Weissbrau which is a German Cuisine. If you enter the building from the centre, turn to your left and you won't miss it.

As we walk near the the door, we were greeted by the waiter. He was asking us if we would prefer indoor or outdoor. Outdoor will have nice view but there wasn't any wind. So we decided to take indoor as we were all sweating. It's a very nice place with the Christmas decoration and I took a few pictures of the place; the bar, tables and chairs.

Once we were all seated, we were served with the menu. We were all browsing it high and low but didn't know what to go for. Thus, to make it easier, we decided to call three different course and share among ourselves. I think it's still new or the pantry was not fully packed yet, the pork knuckles that we wanted to try was out of stock :( No choice we had to other other stuff and I eventually forgotten the name. But no worries.. I had some pictures taken!

Food ordering process was longer than ever as some of the food are not available from the menu.

Photography time while waiting for the food to be cook!

Our Jonie Lim with her lovely Canon G10. Lovely shots taken by her and her toy. She is always so sweet with her smile.

That's my candid shot of Peky! She was busy playing with her new toy - iPhone 4. The entire night we were busy exchanging apps and talking about iPhone 4 and the amazing apps. Welcome to iPhone world... We are now hoping that someday near future, Jonie can join us too. 

That is our caesar salad with salmon. 

Don't recall the name of this dish. Didn't really like it as it was over cooked! Too hard.

It's German sausage but it's too salty! :(

Honestly, I don't think I would go back again until I try Ingolf in it's restaurant. Tasted it's German sausage during the Octoberfest and love it!.

Straits Quay

It's a new happening place in town. Everyone was talking about it so I decided to make a trip there with my mum and cousin sister. I was so excited and make sure my camera is fully charged! :-P

Unfortunately, I was pretty upset as there was nothing to see or being impressed with. Guess I will have to wait for more shops to open before my next visit there again. On the other hand, I don't like the multi carpark as it is quite narrow for bigger cars.

Here are some of the pictures I took indoor as it was raining when we were there.

That is one of the tallest Christmas tree in Penang.

A group of carolers was singing some Christmas song.
