Basil, Le Bistrot is a new launched cafe restaurant in town. It locates at the opposite of the 8 row colourful houses. I saw people uploading photos onto Instagram and so I decided to try it. Prior to the research and all sort of stuff, I thought it was kinda pricey since its name was hardly to understand like I only know Basil. Haha! However, the reasonable price they set is really surprising me. Somehow, I think that their food is worth more than the price set by them. All kind of aspects are alluring me to pay a visit very soon!

Well, since Wendy Goh is finally hit the Penang from her #ulu rural uni and Catherine is free so I decided to meet them! Both of them are my teachers back in Form 5 as they always stayed back after school just to teach me patiently to help me conquer with the evil kind of SPM. I'm really grateful to them! Love you guys! Another memory of us is when we danced together for a performance! Do you guys wanna see? Okay! I rather get killed by them than wasting those artistic pics!
Muahaha! So funny! From the left to right: my eldest sis, Wendy, me and Cathe! Yes, during my secondary school time, my ambition was to become a singer-dancer! Unthinkable! We spent so much time together for practice. The reaction from audiences which mostly the kids was positive! We danced the Kara's 'Pretty Girls'. We should dance together again next time!
Let's back to the topic!
Beverages which comprise of Americano (RM 8) and a kettle Chamomile tea (RM 7). Here's a little suggestion for them, to provide an extra teaspoon for customers to dig the sugar for better hygiene.
A little sneak peek of their menu. This is the front page which bespeaks of the Brunch list. The back of it is for the lunch and dinner repertoire which will only be served after the clock strikes on 12pm! As we were all in the starvation mode, hence, we couldn't spare to wait for another second and promptly ordered the brunch series.
My brunch mates of glorious Monday! Wendy and Cathe!
Sugar Honey---I suppose almost all Penangites know what it is. It's been opened for awhile ago. And all of the photos below are all taken back in early of this year, in January. First and the foremost, I need to say sorry to Wan Theng aka Wendy (nickname given by me) as I only upload it by June. Mianhe Chingu! Haha! Well, let's not palaver over here! Story starts....
'Life is a journey, a magnificence story filled with sweet times.
Explore with your own eyes, experience the world.' ~ Sugar Honey
I still remembered I steered my car to fetch Wendy and we started our cafe hunting. At that time, Sugar Honey is still new in Penang, so I'd decided to give it a try. Both of us are best known as 'road nerd'. It took us quite some time to reach there. After a long road journey with overusing our brains and eyesight, we found it! It's right beside the Mustache Cafe. Unfortunately, I didn't even know how to go to Mustache Cafe since I haven't visited there before. Never mind. Second problem arrived. It only operates after 12pm and we reached there too early! Haha! Luckily, the kind-hearted waitress or maybe the female boss let us stay inside and wait. We were the first customer! Now, let's see the pics!
While waiting... ... Yupe, she's Wendy Goh aka Sweet Spy! Why we call her Sweet Spy? I shall recall back in the year of 2006, at the end of the year we all still in pinafores sitting in a circle playing the 'Spy Game'. Some of us were suck at blinking our eyes and she was the one who masters this skill and kills in high speed without anyone's notice. Nice job Sweet Spy!
On the wall, you can see a lot of retro style pics hanging at there.
No Service Charge so you need to self service lah~! Nevertheless, the waitress still served us like a normal cafe grabbing folks and spoons for us and so forth. Nice service!
Starfish everywhere! It wafted me to the feeling of watching 'Little Mermaid'! Haha!
I present you every girl's favourite thing in cafes----cakes shelves! But I didn't try them. Maybe next time!
哈咯!久违了!好多读者催我快一点更新我今年2014的台湾自由行哦!现在,我终于有时间了!好啦,话不多说。因为我去年的一篇文章有关‘宝贝客栈’的让许多读者信息我,问我到底哪间有‘好兄弟’,问我去台湾都怎么玩的,甚至还有韩国以及一些受英文教育的新马朋友叫我用英文更新。有关台北西门町,哪一间民宿‘干净’,又有人情味呢?小女就要割爱咯!原本不想分享的,因为这一间实在太太太棒啦,怕下一次会爆满预定不到住处。但分享是一件美德。
美观园旅店!!!
对我来说,它很靠近西门町,其实它也算是西门町啦!就在西门红楼后面,过一条小路就会到啦!算是隐藏版的。就当作散步不就得了!哈哈!还记得,我们到那里的时候,还没得check-in登记入住(她们是亲历亲为的,所以自己打扫需要些时间,也是我们太早到了啦!),我们就把一大堆的行李寄放在那里,出去玩先。我四姐还说:“惨了啦,等一下又要搬行李上楼!”(她是金玉其外,败絮其中;看起来很有劲儿,但其实很没力犹如林黛玉!)。我们就做好心理准备,吃饱饱,要搬行李时,OMG!行李不见了!去哪了?!原来是好心的老板娘帮我们搬上二楼咯!老实说,我们的行李满重的,再加上是四人份的。。。感激的心让我无法言语!真想不到她们给的服务真是周到呀!
美观园旅店是由俩姐妹与家人一同经营的,也是间有挂牌的民宿。PS:她小孩超可爱的!每天都拉我的手不懂要带我到哪里。哈哈!虽然没有洗衣机,但楼下有供应热水炉。是我目前最最最爱的民宿哦!推推推!!!!!
咱们四人的房间。一踏进去,感觉很清新舒适。她们每一天都回进来打扫的,所以不用担心垃圾必须自己倒哦!
这是我们的房间里的壁画。。。 很有树林风!也有电视机看哦,别担心啦,宅男宅女们!
他家小孩!哈哈!好可爱,是不是?!P/S: 不好意思,小女刚从淡水回来,披头又散发的!
她们的营业执照。别被别家民宿骗哦!
还有星星哦!来自星星的都民俊不在啦!
她们的名片!好有创意哦!
民宿外头。我有打亮灯。
没打亮灯的时候。。。蛮有感觉的!
好啦!今天就酱先!
