The Mugshot Cafe, GeorgetOwn

it's a happee day tOday~ 

guess where I heading for lunch ???

familiar ?

woo hoo... 

I managed to persuade my colleague to fetch me to downtown...

lunch at The Mugshot Cafe !!!!

wahahhahaha...

it's right next to Rainforest Bakery @ Chulia Street...

apparently, both are running by the same owner... 

(can assure the good quality of breads / pastries)

I'm always a big fan of their healthy grain breads and pastries...

4-5 years backed, they actually operated a Guest House too, named Olive Spring, if anyone remembers...

not long after my one and only breaky visit, and it was closed down...

* click * for reference... 

when I heard about The Mugshot Cafe, I was so excited !

the owner told me, they will soon operate back the guest house at the upper levels...

still under planning stage...

stay tune, peeps...

a lot of full length mirrors to snap snap ! haha

foods and beverages menu are on board...

place order at counter and pay later before you leave with happee hearts...

apart from their signature Bagels, muffins, croissants, cakes and yogurts are available too...

I so wanted to try their Greek Yogurt...

few choices of toppings are available..

such as Kiwi & Honey / Jackfruits & Gula Melaka / mango & walnuts / walnuts & raisins...

I will make it on next visit...

pic with the owners.. haha

the baking stove is next to the coffee counter...

opened-kitchen style, to prepare your foods and toast the bagel upon orders made...

we sit at the back...

owners are so considerate to turn on air-conditioner and cooler fans...

tho it's opened-air, but you won't feel hot on such a weather at all..

I love... 

heritage houses are so tall and long...

while waiting for our foods...

'Our bagel are great, but our coffee even better!' 

is what they written on board...

no doubt, the coffee is DAEBAK !

Cafe Cappucino, rm 10

coffee aroma great goes well with the smooth froth..

Iced Cafe Mocha which recommended by the bossie... rm 12

it's good like milo peng~ haha

here come my favourite favourite Bagel !

I so miss the time I made smoked salmon bagel daily myself in Melbourne... 

gOsh...

Bagel - doughnut look alike food but way healthier than it...

toasting up the bagel before served simply an awesome idea...

it made the bagel so munchy and the sesame so crunchy ! 

Bacon & Egg on Sesame Bagel... rm 10

it's just so finger-licking-good...

the mashed of mayo on top of the egg simply a plus point...

 Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese on Sesame Bagel, rm 10

generous portion of cream cheese plus a big and long piece of smoked salmon just so yum~ 

 Corned Beef and Rocket on Poppy Seed Bagel, rm 10

plain bagel for taking home are available at Rainforest Bakery, which is just next door for only rm 1.80 each... 

happee girl that suppa in love and enjoying her bagel and great cuppa~ 

what's next, after filled up our tummies...

busy and thinking...

ta-da~

Revisited: Cozy in the Rocket

I re-visited Cozy in the Rocket the week right after previous post and another week after...

which means, I went on 3 Saturdays in a row...

from this, you can see how much I love their foods...

BUT

not the services of course... 

Lychee Mint...

for those mint lover, this is a must go go...

the mint flavor is very strong... 

it's like a non-alcohol mojito... and topped with Giant Lychee...

below pic to show how giant is the size of lychee.... 

I wonder which brand of can lychee are they using...

Cappucino... rm 10 (not cheap)

the Iced coffee is not that good... hmm.. for me..

but the hot one is okay... 

after waited don't know how long...

our foods are served... 

for those, who's hunger for foods.. Cozy definitely not a good choice...

it's a normal issue to have 1.5 hrs waiting time just for 2 plates of pasta over here...

want good foods, bear the long waiting time...

I don't mind to wait because I just love it...   :)

during my second visit, I had the Aglio Olio with German Sausages...  rm 23

cooked with olive oil, garlic and chilli flakes... the Parmesan cheese and herbs sprinkle on top simply added more flavors into the dish...

chef has pan-fried the sausages separately...

I like...  :)  

I can't recall it's full name...

it's some Tomato paste of Fettuccine with Mussels...  rm 25

the portion of pasta is rather little, served with 5 very fresh mussels...

this is not available all time... 

according to Yc, the mussels are super sweet, juicy and fresh !

she deeply falls in love with it after first bite... 

Homemade Passion Fruits Panna Cotta, rm 12

Panna cotta (from Italian cooked cream) is an Italian dessert made by simmering togethercream, milk and sugar, mixing this with gelatin, and letting it cool until set.

this is really good though very pricey for such tiny portion...

I'm not a fans of this dessert since I'm not really keen with coconut stuff.. (except fresh coconut drinks)

most of the panna cotta I've tried before is with coconut as part of the ingredient, and made me put in mind that, panna cotta - must have strong coconut taste...

and now I know, it depends, NOT All panna cotta made with coconut... 

chef served this with fresh passion fruits, the sour taste of the fruits certainly balance up the sweetness from the dessert...

very nice ! worth trying... 

3rd week - 3rd visit...

Banana and Lime Lassi... 

the combo sounds weird but taste really good.. 

the lime makes the beverages becomes quite refreshing... 

I had this Fresh Spaghetti with Pork Bacon and Asparagus... rm 25

the Fresh Spaghetti looks more like wan tan mee... 

does ' fresh ' means, freshly made upon order placed? I'm not sure...

nice... 

Carbonara Spaghetti with Pork Bacon... rm 23

this taste really good !

when I saw the raw egg, immediately I add few points to the dish...

the real and perfect way to cook carbonara is always adding raw eggs towards the end, when the mixed sauce and pasta Off from stove...

the heat from the pasta can just cook the egg perfectly, nicely but not overcooked...

the portion for this dish supposed to be more 'normal', when I see from Eve's blog...

we suspected they are running out of the ingredient when cooking ours, the portion of 2 orders of Carbonara are rather small...

too little to fill our tummy...

but no doubt, it's very yummie...

thanks Jen for the generous treats~  :)
