SPICE GARDEN, SHANGRI-LA’S RASA SAYANG RESORT & SPA (INVITED REVIEW)

Shangri-la Rasa Sayang Resorts have something for everyone for this month. The promotional buffet (BUY 1 FREE 1) till end of this month had attracted many food bloggers as well as buffet lovers to enjoy their meal here. During the promotion, thanks to Gourmet Garden for offering a group of 6 bloggers weekly to dine at the Spice Garden. I feel much honored to be invited by them as one of the lucky six. The restaurant is capable of having around 250 diners covering indoor and outdoor at the same time. The Spice Market Café is an informal buffet-style restaurant that offers authentic cuisines from diverse cultures that reflect Penang's heritage as a cultural crossroads. The buffet is divided into 7 sections by type of cuisine - Indian, Western, Asian, Seafood/Japanese, Cavalries, Dessert and Juice counter. There are up to 100 varieties of food can be found here.

- Traditional granite mortar and a mixture of spices-
What is so special is every table has this display of a traditional granite mortar and a mixture of spices in it. This gives an authentic feeling which I could not resist to take up my camera to get a snap of it. At the entrance to the café you'll find the Spice Boutique, where you can learn about and purchase some of the most exotic spices in Asia. The boutique features over 100 varieties of dried herbs and spices, with varieties of curry powders and other ingredients for you to take home.

CHATIME, SS2 MALL

Chatime is a well known beverage franchise in Taiwan with more than 300 outlets around the world. The bubble tea itself had open a outlet in SS2 and I can imagine that it is always packed with people at anytime. The café with not much space sitting is really a HIT in the town where they have more than 200 choices of drinks available.

Taiwan plum tea and milk tea is our order. The milk tea is really nice as the drinks is significantly more milkier taste than the rest. Unfortunately, the pearl is so famous which I fail to grab them.
The Taiwan Plum Tea is a refreshing drinks which comes to be a perfection and delighting
Taste: 5/5
Price: RM 5.90 / cup

UPPERDECK – TANZINI, GTOWER ( INVITED REVIEW)

A fine dining restaurant looking at the Malaysia's highest tower- The Twin Tower is a best place to grab a romantic meal with the spectacular view of the city’s night skyline. The restaurant is located at the G City Club Hotel on the 28th and 29th floors, encompassing two levels to form one of the city's most elegant restaurants.

SUMPTOUS DESSERTS, IKANO POWER CENTRE ( INVITED REVIEW)

Love durian? The delectable taste of durian without any thorns is cannot be found in Sumptuous Desserts. The shop offers the best specialties which are the durian pancakes and durian Hokkaido cake and more.
Sumptuous Desserts is originated from the former air-stewardess Ch’ng Lee Lee. The ex-stewardess had started the business when many of her friends love her delicious durian pancake. Now, the homemade desserts are available in market. The reason behind for Lee Lee to choose durian as the key of her business is because durian is the king of fruit which is where many Malaysians will fall in love with. .

Durian pancake is the signature dessert in the shop. The durian pancake is made from only local durian, mainly D24,101 and clone durian is being used. One of the reason they are using the local durian is because kampung durian is inconsistent in taste. Another reason behind of the local durian being used is because the local durians are sweeter, more solid and not too watery on its filling when combine with the cream.
