Love & Bites Fusion Cuisine

Another newly opened restaurant in the heart of Georgetown...

Located at Nagore Road, between La Mei Zi & Pik Nik... We have the nice ambience eat-out place selling fusion foods...

Today is the 1st day opening ( 29th July' 2012 )... Soft launching to test run... But we already saw numbers of customers walking in... Some knowing from Facebook... Some are just walk-in of random passer-by...

Running by the owners of Chan Brothers... Needless to explain much, famous enough in Penang...

medium space with nice ambiance

specially like the built-in-sofa... lazy person like me... always will grab it before anyone occupied... hehe...

the house playing mostly relaxing Jazz Oldies...

and I love...   :)

walk in further, there are second part of the restaurant which is totally different concept from the front... 

I kinda love the concept... the furniture is unique...

but, it gonna slightly hotter if sitting inside here...

They're selling Fusion Cuisine, as the shop's name tells...

from Snacks to Appetizer, Main, Desserts, Beverages, quite a long list of varieties... 

they selling several types of Homemade Quiches ! 

I so can't wait to re-visit and try out their Quiches...

I just Love it~~~

they don't have much choices for Coffee... only Mocha / Tiramisu and one-more-which-I-can't-recall...

but few types of special Tea...

I had Aloe Vera Tea, served in Hot / Cold...

get to eat the little pieces of Aloe...

slight sweet but not too sweet... I like it...  :)

I so love it's Heart-handle...~

fren of mine highly recommended their Yogurt Drinks...

and no doubt... 

I give them a double-thumbs-up...

it won't be too sweet but just nice...

there's a special one - Mint Yogurt...

I'm not a Mint-person, but I reckon it sounds quite special... heard actually not bad... 

Strawberry Yogurt

Papaya Yogurt

Vege & fruits Salad with Pecan Nuts...

 I heart it's heart-shaped-salad-bowl...

so wanted to bring home...

my fren told me, they have lips-shaped-bowl sumore ~!! 

Chicken Schnitzel with Japanese Mashed Potatoes and Side Salad in Balsamic Sauce 

it's something very different from all the Chic Schnitzel I usually found in Aussie...

used to be big piece of deep fried breaded boneless chicken, cheese melted on top filled with tomato paste + ham slices in between...

on the menu, Chicken or Pork available for your choice...

they served as picture shown, 4 big slices instead...

 I supposed they mixed chopped chicken with extra ingredient like herbs, peas / potato maybe and reshape it  before deep fried...

something special from the house apart from the tradition.. 

it reminds me of Falafel... I believe they might share similar recipe / ingredients   :)

overall, I found it quite nice and speical... 

portion might not be fulfilling enough for guy as Main.. but good as a sharing portion among frens...  :)

Vietnamese Paper Rolls

Vietnamese Rice Paper Wrap with Thai Basil, Black Fungus, Cucumber, Pickle Papaya and Shrimp served with Vietnamese Hot Dips and Side salad...

the dipping sauce tastes like Thai Chilli Sauce...

I would suggest those that cant take the aroma of Basil better don't go for it...

like my fren, ordered then reckon it got the Basil leaves that he hates so much... 

left the whole plate for us to finish it !

Overall, it's nice and pretty in serving too   :)

so lovely and effort, they even provide small stalk of Lemon Grass to 'spoon' the sauce so too add on more flavor for the dish... *marks added   :)

as mentioned above, they served a varieties of Homemade Quiches...

can pick from the fridge near the counter...  :)

they imported this Japanese Bottled Beer, selling at rm 20++ per bottle...

I yet try out, but heard the feedback is quite not bad...

and not available in most places here in Penang...

shall try out...

funny tiger.. I tot it's a cat !!   

Shop named as Love & Bites, you can see a lot of Cupids / Angels deco around the restaurant..

will definitely re-visit for more foods...

passing by Lebuh Armenian~

it's so fun to have no car around that area on Sunday noon~

we were struggling whether we should wait for the traffic light?

shall we obey the rules as a car driver too ? hehe

this guy playing the phone while we stopped for the red light !

this guy kept saying he is fetching some 'goods'

we said to go Family Fiesta for some healthy activities...

ended up went beer'ing at Soju after 10 mins walk around the event !!

we backed to Moontree after finished up a Tower of Tiger at SOJU !!!

my initial plan is to return the bicycles after dinner..

my pity Alex that fetching 'goods' through out the session kept nagging to have bitter - sweet

instead of bitter - sweet - bitter ( tiring ride to makan, after dinner, ride back again )
