Kopi Cine 珈啡电影 + Bon Ton The Shop

It took me a while to figure out what "Cine" is.
Should it be "Cine" as in "shine" or should it be "cine" as in "sini".

I was wondering, why are there chinese characters? And what does the chinese character says? It says "Jia Fei Dian Ying", which means, Coffee + Cinema.

So, I concluded that it was a coffee place for movies (or perhaps, for this case, slight reading). The place should be pronounced as, Kopi Cine (as in cine-ma).

This cafe is situated right behind the Kuan Yin temple, the junction of stewart lane, Penang. Never would I expect such a gem behind the alleys of old prewar shop houses.

There were many buncho crayons on the shot glasses for us to scribble on the piece of mahjong paper laid on the table.


Trishwa parked right opposite of the shop
 Since Straits Quay or either Blue Reef was not opened, we decided to try on the food at Kopi Cine (Why did Bon Ton The Shop appeared?).

It says, "Today's special Chicken Pie".
We walked in and asked what was the current promotion. They said the Pie!

But, they dont' have Chicken pies. Instead, it was beef pie. So, why didn't they rubbed it off and just write "Beef Pie"?


 I was reading another blog that the Pie costs RM20. Now it's RM25. Price Hike.


Parmesan Chicken Schnitzel - RM34. Very small piece of chicken.



I'm not being a pervert. But it made me think, if farmers those days wear clothes.


 Gula Melaka Ice Cream with Banana, Banana Bread & Honey Sauce
Ice cream really tasted GOOD!! creamy, soft and sweet..
 Affogato (vanilla ice cream, espresso shot + Frangelico shot) - The taste was indescribable GREAT.
I've never tasted such great affogato before. It had a bitter-feel, sweet and flaming taste, and I call it 3in1 taste!

 Simple meal and it already costs > RM100.
We had an enjoyable evening looking at the period chinese lady and two entertaining waiters.

 I just got to know that Straits Collection is almost like a boutique hotel, with numerous rooms all over the heritage area of Penang.

P/S: Thanks Julie for the last two pictures.

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...
