The Safe Room @ Campbell Street, Georgetown Penang

Penang Cafe Culture !
Penang is so much crowded with different themed cafe now.
Myriad of choice is available now...
On a small street there are 3 cafe - Moustache, Sugar Honey and The Safe Room

One need to have some special attraction so one can stand out!

This is one of the most contented cafe in Penang - THE SAFE ROOM
It is located at Campbell Street, Georgetown. Same row with Moustache and Sugar Honey.


 Right after you enter the shop, you'll see this two big tank of liquid NITROGEN on you left. And, this is what make this cafe a great attraction to the people, especially those love to try new and special thing.
 alright, they offer Coffee, Tea and Dessert. 
 After you order at counter and paid, you'll get the receipt and this "bird" with a "S" stand for SAFE I think and a table number at the other side
 This is the interior space. They had prepared some props for people who loves taking picture and a cute corner for you. They have 3D lego  and the love lock tree at the end of the shop. definitely a place for friends gathering, and family-friendly too.
 They have this open kitchen. So, we can witness the process of how they preparing the beverages and dessert, especially people who is so curious in how they prepare the “dragon breath”
If you haven't come across with this "dragon breath", let me introdue later okay
 They have some choices of cake of cause. Then, see the COCONUT below? Oh? they sell fresh coconut huhh? NoNo... let's see
 Tadaa.... they make COCONUT LIQUID NITROGEN ICE-CREAM !
**Maybe you'd tried before at oversea, but it is definitely the first in Penang **
What's liquid nitrogen ice-cream?
They use FRESH fruits instantly made into ICE-CREAM using LIQUID NITROGEN
It is remarkably creamer, denser & smoother
Different with the conventional ice-cream, liquid nitrogen ice-cream eliminate air packets
and give the best texture!
It takes a ways the need of using eggs & additional fat,
making flash-freeze ice-cream a HEALTHIER
Then, we'd ordered this Hot Mocha.
You know why my friend insisted to order a HOT one? because she said she likes to see the coffee art
too bad, this is definitely not a nice one. and the taste too.
alright, not to give a negative comment. haha
but for me, if you know I am a coffee lover and specially mocha lover, okay, I will not feel like spending money on this in the next visit.
Oh yea, next visit? This is how the cafe is so brilliant in attracting the attention and giving the feeling of miraculuos! haha~ Introduce to you this DRAGON BREATH! a really really low cost but pricey POPCORN! A cold really cold but crunchy popcorn. A definitely instagramable picture haha~

Generally, this is a very instagramable place. hehe~ not a place for you to have your lunch or dinner but quite a good place for you to spend you afternoon or night with friends and family. However, this is a high expenses place. I'd recommend you to go with a few friends so you can share and try out all the "special attraction"

Maoz Cafe 猫屎咖啡 @ Jln Raja Uda, Butterworth

Hang out with my triplet sister today. We went to Sunway Sushi Tei for lunch.
Best friend never feel tired in chitchatting and gossip i believe hehe~
Then I brought them to this one of the few nice cafe in Butterworth - MAOZ CAFE
It is really a very good place for friends to have small talk
and we spent the whole afternoon there
okay, this is the interior space of this Maoz Cafe. All the wooden wall and counter, the rooftop and the natural sunlight brightness. It actually reminded me of BALI ! yea! a really fun and beautiful place. There was a coffee farm we visited in Bali where they have coffee plant, show some process of coffee making and selling the products there.

This is the picture I took when i was in Bali.

Alright, back to MAOZ cafe

This is the logo of Maoz Cafe. Look, it is a LUWAK there. In fact, "MAOZ" is not an english word but it is a direct translate from 猫屎. So, what is 猫屎咖啡? It is Kopi luwak (Indonesian pronunciation: [ˈkopi ˈlu.aʔ]), or civet coffee, refers to the seeds of coffee berries once they have been eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet.

Okay, now, let's see what goods we can get from this cafe
They offer coffee, non-coffee (Tea/Yougurt/Smoothie), food(Spaghetti, chicken pie etc)and dessert (variety Crepe Cakes). 

These are what we had ordered.
Iced Cappucino RM9.90
Hot Mocha RM 8.90
Chessy Cheese Crepe Cake RM 10.90

The Mocha, it is a bit lower than my expectation for a cafe that claims that they offer "premium quality coffee". It is not that premium. I am absolutely a mocha lover, and I think the richness of the taste is definitely not enough *at least for me. 

Then, the Crepe Cake, it is good. It is not easy to get a good crepe and this is a nice one.

So overall, this is a really good place to spend you afternoon and night time with friends or family. A very cozy ambience and friendly stuff also. A place to read a book or chitchat. I will rate a 7 out of 10 points for this place. In my opinion, if it is fill with rich coffee aroma in the cafe would be the better >.@

At the end, let me introduce my Triplet sister. WanXian and Kym. Don't you think we look a bit alike? hehe~ we have the same height and size too! So, we're the triplet =)

Someone


Taking ferry from butterworth to island seems to become my weekly routine
Meet him only in the weekend make us miss each other more
and more passionate when we meet

I am always a very cautious people when I'm alone
I put my bag in front of my body,
I wear tshirt, tie a low pony tail, wear a spec
I walk in a quick pace and always looking around

But there is time I like to observe people around
From their clothing, the language they are speaking even their conversation
then i start to think
what's their story

Everyone come with an invisible luggage
We carry it through all the ups and downs
It keeps all the memories, goods and bads, sweets and bitters
Everyone has a story awaiting to share if you're willing to listen
whether an adventurous one or an ordinary one

Through the journey
nobody is an island
There is always someone there
The different is are we being remembered
and how long we will be remembered
meanwhile if we manage to inspired anyone?

There is time i afraid of being forget then i start not to remember anyone
I try to keep a distance
not physically measure in metres or miles
but away from my heart
at least i feel protected
but, then,
eventually there is someone there
simply remembering me
staring at me
Then I realised I am not alone

And, I know this is gonna be my story.

We know each other since we’re 14.
They are the most important persons in my entire teenage memories.
We spent every recess time together, study together, teaching each other and also learning from each other.
Of cause, we had good times and bad times too. We never have a big fight (maybe we are kinda hesitate to speak out? I can’t really remember, and I don’t think we will want it to happen) and there were time we had a “cold war” maybe.
We’d gone through different stages of a friendship would have and I know we are more than that
We are family, we are BAOBEIS!
Even when we are separated, we share all the ups and downs with each other.
When we broke up with our asshole ex-boyfriend, we had a bad time with new environment, we met obstacles.
We are all time standby. 
They know me well, really well.
Maybe I don’t used to express when I am feeling upset but they know how worst the situation would be when I ask if anyone of them can give me a call. I will never forget how much supportive you girls are!
