wOnderful bReaky Session at Ferringhi Coffee Garden

as the age catching up, all of us become more and more occupied...

it's so hard to organize a full-forced Katiakz gathering...

seems that the last caught up with full gang was Aug-Sept, during our ring-exchanged?

gosh.. half years backed ! 

been waiting this chance to bring the girls for a good breaky session at Batu Feringghi...

mah favourite thing to do since the day I came to this world, is to wake up as late as possible naturally everyday... 

BUT

 I Love breakie-breakie at times...

so dilemma...

I slept after 4am on last Saturday night, yet still forced myself to got up at 8am on Sunday...

bit Zombie but with happee heart~ 

to go for breakie breakie at Ferringhi Coffee Garden with my girlsssss~

the thing that attracted me to try out this place was the good and CUTE coffee...

so happee that the foods turned out all so delicious as well !

it's just one shop before Ferringghi Garden...

another cool-Bali-feel place for coffee and breakie...

        

Indoor is air-conditioned and with more comfortable chairs...

but we still prefer outside just because of ' more-feel '...

if you want to enjoy the morning breeze, must go earlier, as near 12pm noon, the Sun is getting up right and hot... we're not ang moh... barely can stand the sunlight striking on our face, sweating all the way to enjoy the nice HOT coffee under the Sun...

we recalled our Bali trip and had really Awesome Time there !!!

they served All-Day-dining...

 

this young guy from Indonesia, Medan, self-learnt great coffee making skill when he was working in Kuta Bali...

he made really nice coffee...

despite the good aroma of coffee and the smooth steamed milk...

he can make really creative pattern on the froth !

he made this cute smiling cat Cafe Latte for Mung, rm 8.80++

                                                                                         

he made me this super cute Pigguie Head Skinny Cappucino for me !!!  rm 8.80

when he showed me, I can't hide my excitement but kept telling him,

do you know I love pig very much !!!

     

later on, he passed me his phone, and let me browsed through his photo album, there're lots more creation by him...
dogs, flowers, leaves, loves, pattern, and a love shape of a couple kissing ! 
can you imagine !
I snapped below doggie pic from his phone !

  

not only him, but ALL the staff there are just so so friendly and attentive...
made our whole session more pleasant and happy  :)

Egg Omelette with Cheese, mushroom and Beef Bacon, served with Baked beans and 2 slices of thick toast... , rm 16.80++
above pic is without beef bacon...

 

very nice and worth Club Sandwiches... rm 26.80

the portion is definitely enough to share for two !

                             

Choice of Focaccia or white Loaf with 

Smoked Salmon, Turkey Ham, Mozzarella Cheese, Egg Omelette,

Grilled Beef or Free Range Chicken, Fresh Salad

and accompanied with Cracker Chips

the portion is just so generous and the combo is so great and yummy...
due to the thickness, it would be really messy while eating...

 

the way they served the chips are so cute and creative...
the chips are very nice as well... we guess it's homemade too !

Egg Benedict, rm 18.80++
Poached eggs served on buttered loaf with bacon + ham and ganished with hollandaise sauce... 

the portion are all so big for us...
I was the only one managed to finish the whole thing... 
not because I'm big eater but I hate wasting foods... 
the toast are so thick and nice... 

 

 

the frenly staff keep walking around and talking to the customers...
many foreigners dine in there, and they seem so good frens with the staff too...
he kept coming to us and test us with the tricky tricky things... 
we had a lot of fun really... 

 

there was very farney thing happened after below pic taken...
Mung fell off from the chair after scared by his trick !
so farney...
hahahahahahhahaha

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~  :)

Cozy in the Rocket, Georgetown

new place MUST try out~ 

spotted this new cafe located at the corner of Armenian and Beach Street...

at first, I thought the name of this new place is La Cucina... 

and I just love the flying pig thief at first sight...

but IT's NOT !

Cozy in the Rocket, is the name... (I supposed)

first corner, gate closed...

my face immediately showed a completely   T____T

W-H-Y ???

walked few steps further, the main entrance is actually next door... hehehhe

once stepped in the cafe, spotted this so familiar picture on wall...

do you recall anything from this greenie arrogant doggie with fattie cat? 

refer to here 

ta-da....

this is the New Amelie Cafe !

known they have moved to nearby, bigger place, but didn't know the exact location and the new opening dates...

and here it is ! woo hoo...

 

I so super love this place...

alot bigger, great atmosphere, just something I always love...

 low cost, recycle, down to earth, are the key points...

again.. for me.. very Aussie feel~  woo hoo  :P

spotted the tau keh niao of Amelie yo~

 

as usual, there's no Menu but all written on the board...

can order from the bar or backed to your table and someone will follow for order taking...

something cheer me up is this huge professional coffee machine...

no longer the small scale home user coffee machine at the Old Amelie... hehe

varieties flavours of San Pellegrino are available here... 

Aussie loves this !

the main shop is Indoor with air-conditioned...

next door is open-aired, for smokers I supposed...

 

 

Normal working hours is Tuesday to Sunday, 10am - 5pm (5.30pm), closed on Every Monday...

due to the once-a-year-happening-event on last Saturday, it extended the business hour till 12am...

 

too bad, I was starving and none of the main meal is available but only beverages, desserts and small bites on that day...

spotted the big professional coffee machine, of course must try on the coffee drinks...

below pic is Iced Caramel and Iced Cappuccino...

hmmm.. so so for my liking... 

guess would back to my preferred hot coffee next visit...

 

for sour-stuff-lovers like me, this is most suitable...

Lemon, Lime and Passion fruits..

so thick and sour sour sour... 

I had this chef-recommended Pork Meat Balls with breads... rm 14

this is nice...

we all love it... 

the meat ball is tender enough, tomatoes and basil paste is well-flavoured...

overall it's just nice... 

worth-trying... 

 

my happy face tells...   :)

Honey and Feta Cheese Bruschetta, rm 14

I love honey, I love Feta Cheese, thus, I'm okay with this but not for everyone...

don't think everyone likes the taste of feta... and it's kinda pricey due to the cheese... 

Chef highly recommended Tiramisu... rm 18

this is really something different...

it served in a bowl...

I didn't taste any spongey-texture-short bread, but pieces of dark chocolate, moist, strong coffee aroma from this dessert...

hardly described, as this is very first time I tried such Tiramisu...

I love bitter thus I quite like it, but again, not for everyone, especially those sweet tooth people might not favor this since it's quite bitter when u bitten on the coffee bean sprinkles on top...

but worth a try, really ! 

though the portion is quite small but recommended for sharing...

it's strong flavored... 

 

Chocolate Brownies with Vanilla Ice Cream..

overall won't be too sweet, but just nice... 

I like it...  :)

random picture time~~   

 

my pair... 

her pair...

i did not visit Amelie for quite sometimes before it closed down...

by comparing the pricing here vs my last visit to Amelie, I reckon its slight more expensive...

understand that the bossie using all self-chosen, good quality of ingredients for cooking, thus, the cost would definitely be higher compare to others... 

as long as it tastes good, I think it's quite worth to pay...

for myself, cuz I love this place...

compare portion + pricing between China House vs Cozy, I think Cozy considers more expensive in term of smaller portion (foods, drinks & desserts...) 

hmmm...
