PhotobucketPrecinct 10, a hub where a number of F&Bs which is located right beside Island Plaza, Tanjong Tokong. Special thanks to YourFoodReview for the special invite to enjoy the wonderful dinner with another four foodies. Being a first timer, I was rather excited to check out this new place as there are quite a number of new F&Bs besides those existing ones.

Portobello Mushroom, Garlic Confit, Truffle Oil Pizza (RM35), the pizza brings out the strong taste of the mushroom made it taste really good.Photobucket

I am a big fan of tomatoes! Tomato, Basil & Mozarella Cheese Pizza (RM35) was served next. Well, when tomotoes are served on pizzas, they need to be really fresh otherwise, it will just ruin your meal! Photobucket

Atlantic Salmon (RM38), mashed potato well made. The grilled salmon is perfectly served.  Its a must try.Photobucket

Pork Belly (RM38), I am not a big fan of pork but its exceptional for this one. It really impressed me. The mashed potato was served as its base and the taste of the pork is very well maintained its naturality of the blend.Photobucket

What a night to enjoy all good food after a long tiring day at work. Here comes the dessert after all the heavy main meals.
Orange Vanilla Crème Brulee (RM16), aside from the taste of the original crème brulee,  the orange and vanilla accents do blend well too.

Penang is well-known for its UNESCO Heritage, topping up that its located at the heart of the island, its been a busy town. It definitely does bring back those memories back then in the olden days.

Photobucket… and Stewart Lane is part of it. Its nice to chill at this kinda weather, with such wonderful ambiance topping up with good food.
PhotobucketA row of pre-war houses.

Having Nostalgie to be situated strategically in one of those lanes, little did you know whats the core of it.  Photobucket

The Menu.
Photobucket

Spaghetti Marinara with Prawns – RM24. Looking at the prawns on the picture makes me drool. It is served with parmeson cheese and the two gigantic prawns. I love pasta with slightly more olive oil as the combination of the taste of all the fresh tomatoes, onions and basils being blended on the dish.Photobucket

Something a little different. Chilled Cranberry Juice with Longan for RM9.
Photobucket

Chicken and Basil Pesto Fettuccine – RM21. Awesome dish which come with chopped basil, chicken breast, cherry tomatoes. You gotta taste this!Photobucket

Prawn & Chillies Pizza for RM30, with fresh prawns, mozzarella cheese, basils and of course chillies. It tastes so good and I want more! The prawns are fresh and visible, huge ones, mind you!Photobucket

The ambiance of the cafe is Nyonya-ish, just like back in those days. It does give you the ancient-vintage feel. I was lucky it rained and the best part is, it became so cosy and comfortable that I could have doze off anytime!Photobucket

More pizza for the day. Next in line was Chicken with Feta Cheese Pizza, RM28 for such a wonderful thing to melt in the mouth. Served with chicken in cubes, feta cheese and cherry tomatoes.Photobucket

Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich – RM14, name itself sounded like a killer and … it is! It is serve with some lettuce, grilled-teriyaki chicken and some onions topping up with some fries. I would love it better with lotsa fresh slice of tomatoes!Photobucket

I love carrot cakes in nature. I just can’t deny that its simply my lucky day to have to enjoy every bite of the carrot slice on a wonderful day. RM12 for a slice of carrot cake that you will not regret.Photobucket

Nostalgie ain’t just a cafe. Its also a homestay! Well, its still under renovation but I did sneak in to check out, just to urge my curiosity on how its like upstairs :) Photobucket

Khapkeks for Christmas

Reply

Santa treats me well this Christmas! A Christmas full of surprises! I received 2 boxes of Khapkeks flown all the way from KL! I have been yearning for one, I actually asked for one but it came to me in two boxes! Mad love!

Photobucket

A season to get fat and I have decided to share them with my family and friends. Let’s spread the love and get fat together :D Photobucket

Well, Khapkeks is no where near KhopKunKHAP or SawadiKHAP. Khapkeks is actually a local business by a stay-at-home young mother, who is also the person behind all these yummilicious Khapkeks!

I received the cupcakes in 4 flavours and they were personally handed over to me by the person who made them *so touched*  First, I had Earl Grey. I heated them before consuming. *slurp* … and …Photobucket

the heavenly, Nutella! *personally love it so much. Love at the first bite!Photobucket

*melts* Am also a huge fan of Rum & Raisins! *jumped in excited*PhotobucketPhotobucket

Wondering how to place your orders? Simple!Photobucket

1 Go to KHAPKEKS Page on Facebook and LIKE them.
2 Place your order on KHAPKEKS’ wall! At the same time, you can also drop them an e-mail at khapkeks@gmail.com (48 hours before collection) Khapkeks need time to be baked too!

The freshly baked Khapkeks are priced at a reasonable range:
* RM36 for 18 pieces
* RM20 for 9 pieces

The best part of Khapkeks would be No Icing Cupcakes provided :D
There are variety of Khapkeks:
Nutella
Rum & Raisins
Nutella & Choc chip
Nutella & Raisins
Choc chip & Raisins
Earl Grey Tea

The Khapkeks are also able to be personalised for instance for occasions like birthdays, door gifts, etc. You just gotta drop SuYi, (the one who bakes the wonderful Khapkeks for you), an e-mail and consult her on your needs and she will do her best to accommodate your desires.

Remember, SuYi is a stay-home-mum, so please pick it up @ Subang Saujana. For those who are from the Northern region like myself, do drop her an e-mail or call up this nice lady to make an appropriate arrangement :)
