Caffe Strada, Crystal Point, Penang

Thanks to Alan for inviting me for the review and I definitely enjoyed myself with a filled tummy.

The first thing I asked was if this strada is related to the one at the P.Tikus one, and it seemed that both are of different owners (separate entity). It was just a coincidence that the owner chose 'Strada' as they wanted the restaurant as an italian street concept (I hope I got it correct!).

Play some games while waiting for your food :)
And a glass of iced lemon tea with a tinge of lemongrass..

Why am I waiting?

Patiently waiting for others to come as I was pretty punctual. :D


I personally love this shot... having the right composition/contrast - I hope (and I think)

Hot chocolate (with colorful flowery marshmallows), strawberry frappe and chocolate frappe.

The first time I tasted the chocolate, I was wondering, why didn't the chocolate tasted like nutella? Then, I tried on the chocolate frappe and had the same feeling. It didn't taste like nutella again ( I'm a great fan of nutella - espeically imported ones).

So, I started asking the owner and it seemed like they are using DaVinci products (probably $7.99 per bottle for 12 servings)

Mango frappe and orange jewel milk shake

My favourite coz it's SOURISH. :p

Cappucino - if you want longer nights.

Chocolate Mint cake (their own recipe)

Now... here comes the REAL food..

Green Garden Salad

According to the owner, he wanted to create more salad dishes but it seems like it's not very much liked by the crowd, thus now, I guess, this is the only salad menu they have.

Seafood chowder in Bread bowl - if you are a celery lover (health freak), then you'll love this

The only chicken dish I prefer - Mongolian Chicken

Grilled butter fish (cut the fats!)

and lastly, finger licking good chicken wing with their specialty hot and spicy sauce

What's the Difference between 'Net' and "Nett"

Since it's part of my group's job to publish daily billings report to the management, our Director (from US) pinpointed that we should fix the spelling of 'nett billings' to 'net billings'. My colleauge was looking at google, trying to understand the 'right' spelling to be used. I finally checked it from Wikipedia , and found that 'nett' is BRITISH and 'net' is AMERICAN. No wonder he's offended to fix it to 'net'! C'mon. I'm in an american MNC, I should be more sensitive towards this.

An Encounter with Gelatissimo

It was an eventful Saturday afternoon. I had an 'appointment' with Gelatissimo , Gurney Plaza, Penang. I have always wished to try gelatos there (since Lecka Lecka has gone for good) and it's the ONLY store serving gelatos in Penang (I think). There you go.. I'm going to blog on my 'encounter' with Gelatissimo. First and foremost, consumers need to be educated the difference between ice-cream (Haagen dazs, Baskin Robbins, Walls etc) and Gelatos. Gelatos is italian frozen ice dessert and the method of making it is different from ice cream . Basically, gelatos has less cream than ice cream and it has higher density (the molecules are nearer as compared with ice cream). Most importantly, I think the fat content is less as it has more original food as compared with ice cream (usually with articificial coloring and flavours). The friendly staff posing for camera. The girl in spectacles would always asked me if I would like to try their flavours. To be honest, I trie...
