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: 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..... :)

What is Social Media?

I asked the same question about 2 years back where I knew nothing about it. But today, it's something I love doing. For me, sharing is caring. But today, I believe there are many people out there who are still very puzzle what Social Media is.
As I was browsing for some article, I came across this youtube, "Social Media In Plain English". I spend a few minutes checking it out and I personally think it is simple for people to understand. I am sharing it here so you all can learn a thing or two.
