Coffee Gallery Malaysia, Starcity Kuantan

Hello all! I'm still surviving.... in one piece, in Kuantan xD Missing in action for almost two months, so sorry for the hiatus. I still miss blogging, just that being caught up with working life has made me lazy to brainstorm for blogging. Fyi, I'm posted in Kuantan for work at the moment. So I actually have a mission to self: dig out hidden gem in Kuantan!!! 

Before I came, everyone was like, huh Kuantan? Never been there, it sounds ulu and etc. Initially I thought so too. However, staying here for nearly two months, I would conclude that, it is not a bad place to live in :) Not as bad as I thought. 

So, here's a cafe in Kuantan which is worth blogging about. Coffee Gallery Malaysia at Starcity, just a stone's throw away behind my house :D Perhaps, I would hang out at this place until the boss know me :D lolol cuz their brekkie is surprisingly on par and more worthy than some of the cafes in Penang.

Big Brekkie RM15.9

Very standard cafe pricing 

Matcha Latte RM9.9

A lil disappointment on their matcha latte though, abit tasteless to me.

RM9.9 each for Mochatella and Dark Chocolate

Mochatella and their hot chocolate are the must try. They're good. 

Their cakes still have room for improvement though. Their taste is fine but not as good as the other cafe I tried. 

My target is to try out all the food in their menu. As crazy as it sounds, but I'm gonna do it XD

Coffee Gallery Malaysia

A-17, Jalan Seri Kuantan 80, Kuantan Star City, 25300 Kuantan

Tues - Sun: 09:30–00:00

+6013 - 3333 832

... ... ... ... ... .. ... 

Side note:

Went to develop second roll of film today, but I was devastated when the shop uncle told me that I didn't load my film properly.

第二卷的失落：當uncle同哦講，泥都冇影都！嚇到傻曬。 下次小心load菲林啦小姐

Results: the films are all blank and I'm sad :(

p/s: When you see me MIA and you miss me, you can still find me here :D

Sekeping Victoria Penang

Sekeping Victoria is not a new place in Penang, but previously a venue for art exhibitions, events, loft gallery etc. 

So they just recently started their cafe two weeks ago as told by one of the crews.

It's my first time here and I am so in love with their rustic woody interior! Quite a cozy and comfortable place to chill at in a fine afternoon. 

The space is surrounded by tiny trees, it feels as if you're having a cup of coffee in the middle of jungle. Naturale environment I'd say. lol. 

Had a double scoop ice-cream coconut + matcha flavor (weird combi I know) at RM4.50 

Didn't get to try their food and coffee as I was pretty full that time. Hope to try out their menu some other time! Perhaps, let me know your feedback after trying them? :D

云南 | Day 3 严家大院， 双廊

大理最后的早餐-青石桥豆粉，据说很出名，但是我们都觉得一点都不好吃。而食物照应该是忘了拍xD

包车到双廊洱海去要 140元。路途经过三塔，拍了拍到此一游照就走人 

又经过了喜洲。来到大理，请务必到严家大院参观张家园。据说是很有钱的白族建的。

他们的宅的确很大很特别

这，就是我们在双廊的住宿啦。已介绍过，可读这篇。

这里就是海地生活，只能说，我大爱这个地方！风景太太太赞啦！ 连不爱摄影的也会在这个地方拍个够。

在海地边听音乐，边看海，边写明信片，是人生一大享受啊！灵感会不停地涌上来。只能说这是我爱的生活步调。

只有在外国会做的事情，在他们的lobby heaa 成这样，超自在的，因为没人会认得我嘛:p

永远不会忘记，当关上所有房间登，躺在地上观星星的那一幕！

超！漂！亮！

很可惜相机永远比不上肉眼。

Dream Trip to Macau

I have been to Macau once, which was four years ago. However, it was quite a rush day trip! Just randomly checking on Nuffnang page today and noticed that Nuffnang is helding a dream trip to Macau contest! Hehe.. so here comes a chance to try my luck. 

Well, if I were given a chance to travel to Macau again, I would want to do these three amazing things that I regretted I never did / could have done during my last trip in Macau which are:

1) First thing first, I want to MUST challenge bungee jump sky walking lahh. Bungee jumping is out of my limit, I'm not ready for it yet. Fyi, I have height phobia. So, skywalking is considered a tough task for me already. I still remember how my lips turned white when I was up at their bullet proof floor glasses of Macau Tower! Well, I really want to overcome this phobia and get the feel of adrenaline rush once in a life time. My life is too dull and boring lately. Hence, I need something to spice up my life now :p

If you are interested, you can read up my previous Macau post here mentioning that I really regretted of not trying it after I came back! Also, it would be a real DARE for me if I'm chosen to be one of the lucky winners. No worries, I will confirm taking up this challenge this time and be sure to take a breathtaking panaroma skyline view of Macau as a proof of achievement then xD

2) Eat Portuguese egg tart all day and night, and explore their food culture! It was sad that I was short of time back then to do food hunt marathon in Macau plus I had not had enough of my Portuguese egg tarts yet!! Would love to go back again and explore all the food I had missed out last time. I have always loved hongkie's style restaurant vibes. 

3) Want to explore the hidden gems in Macau. During my last trip, I just managed to visit their famous Ruins of St. Paul's, Senado Square, a church and The Venetian. I'm a photography / instagram junkie if you don't know and now you know :p I woud love to explore their lorong kia (alleys) which I didn't get to explore and take pictures last time and document every beautiful corners of Macau, be it UNESCO buildings, streets, churches & temples, people and lifestyle of Macau.


Why Nuffnang should send me this superb opportunity? Because, I, being a backpack traveler all these while, it is all about budget, budget and BUDGET on every single trip! It would be great if I had the chance to know how it feels like for having an all expenses paid holiday like a boss! :D



Lastly, a big thank you to Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO) & Nuffnang Malaysia for hosting this awesome contest! Fly me to Macau pwetty please!! :D



All photos were taken by me back in year 2010 in Macau.

Just went to Joyeux café this afternoon and suddenly haz the ohm to blog about it.

Barbecue Chicken Pizza RM16.90

Rating: 8.5/10

Ben RM14.90

Rating: 8/10

Carbonara RM20.90

Rating: 8.5/10

Lovely space near their work station. Wanted to sit here for perfect foodporn photos but I guess it is not worth to be melted under the hot sun :p

Leftovers.

Didn't know Nagore road has changed that much. They have new murals coming up too! I think it soon will be, well, another hot spot for tourists.

Other than parking problem, I haz nothing to complaint about. Duh~ all the cafes in Penang has parking problem. *inserts sarcasm*

Overall the food was good with huge portion. A I-will-be-back-again cafe:)
