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..... :)

Food: Amelie Cafe @ Armenian St

It's a Sunday morning where I got to go back to work for awhile before the entire day is mine. The night before, mum said that she wanted to try something different at coffee shops or cafe. So I had to cracked my head last night to figure out where to bring her. Honestly, I didn't do much thinking as I was dead tired last night. For the first time in weeks, I think I slept like a pig! 

After hearing from Peky and reading from her blog about Amelie Cafe at Armenian St, I thought we should go and try it this time. I roughly know where the place were but didn't know which road to turn from the Jelutong highway. I got to search it via my Maps on iPhone. Thank God for GPS and iPhone. :D

It is located at 6, Armenian Street. It is located next to the Cheah Kongsi. It's a row of pre-war house there. It is on the right hand side as you drive along the street. Amelie Cafe is in between the Nyonya Beaded Shoe and Cheah Kongsi. You won't miss the place. 

 

It's a small and cozy place. The cafe reminds me of a place where my brother took me for breakfast when I was in Melbourne. I fall in love with this cafe when I enter the place. I would personally recommend you to go and try it. As you enter, you will see the kitchen where all the foods are prepared. I also took a few more picture inside out. Take a peep. 

Remember it is open daily except Monday from 10am till 7pm. 

We were there quite early so we had breakfast and I had cafe latte to go with it. The food taste good and the waiting time was not as long as Peky said. Maybe I was there early. The place was filled with foreigners. There are also upstairs available for sitting but I didn't venture upstairs. I will go back there again and maybe will try the upstairs.
