my friend & i chanced upon this dessert place, Sweet Hut while we were on our way home after berbuka puasa at Starz Diner Hard Rock Hotel. we had a dessert each and we actually thought Sweet Hut fairs better than some of the dessert chain out there. one friendly lady, Zenny, approached us, gave a brief introduction on the shop and some of the desserts. Sweet Hut was a really new addition at Precint 10 then. and she extended the invitation to the grand opening of Sweet Hut to us once she found out we are bloggers.

so on the auspicious day, POP! Sweet Hut officially joined the food scene in Penang! it’s the first outlet here, but i learnt that there’s 13 other outlets in Klang Valley and Malacca.Papaya Milk Snow Ice | RM 9.90

papaya is a rare flavour for shaved ice i would say as i don’t see other dessert shops serve this! Papaya Milk Snow Ice is new on the menu! and yesh, Durian Snow Ice is available too, of course!

i guess this Snow Milk will be the best dessert on hot day! and look, fresh papaya cubes on the side {Penang} Desserts @ Sweet Hut, Precint 10Steam Aloe Vera with Egg White and Papaya (cold) | RM 12.80
one of the dessert that i like to diy at home is 雪耳木瓜糖水 for youknowhat purpose. but so far i don’t see any positive effect =.=.

anyway, Sweet Hut made a twist on the classic tong sui! whole halved papaya is steamed together with egg white and aloe vera cubes. super nourishing dessert i would say. though i wish they use almond pudding instead of egg white. Zenny later explained egg white is used because not all like the taste of almond. but i thought they can add an almond option on the menu, for almond lovers like me!

translucent aloe vera cubes add additional sweetness to the dessert. however, the papaya itself is already sweet enough, so you might find this dessert slightly too sweet for your liking. the sweetness is just nice to me though.

fyi, all of the dessert at Sweet House DO NOT contain artificial sugar or flavouring!Mango & Durian Pancakes (2 pcs) | RM 9.90
rich cream and fruit encased in a thin pancakes!

i absolutely adored the Durian Pancake! Sweet Hut is really generous with the durian filling as you can see! unlike some other shops which has more cream than durian in it :/

daddy will LOVE it for sure! gonna bring him to try it in Malacca!Coconut Pudding with Caramel Pudding | RM 12.80

this is one of my favourite dessert at Sweet Hut! the caramel pudding and coconut pudding (sink at the bottom) and coconut milk just complement each other berry well. both puddings are smooth and soft! you can also have your coconut pudding with ice cream!

if you notice, Sweet Hut actually adds fresh-cut fruits in every dessert dish! a way to make you eat REAL fruit!Baked Marquis Chocolate Pudding with Cookies Ice-Cream | RM 12.80
you’ve got to wait 15-20 mins for preparation. the wait is totally worth it i assure you, if you are a chocolate person la! warm dark chocolate lava oozes out the second you cut it open. the pudding was moist and the texture was just right, best paired with the ice cream! and the fruits at the side, dip them with the choco lava and eat it ala fondue style {Penang} Desserts @ Sweet Hut, Precint 10

this dessert is 心太软 in Chinese which reminds me of Richie Ren, 心太软 was the first ever song i sang in Karaoke! #facepalm. it’s a hit that time okie!

ooh la la!

no wonder it’s in the Top 10 Chart!Milk Almond Pudding and Mango Sago Pomelo Soup | RM 8.90
{thing that makes me smile} the heart jelly {Penang} Desserts @ Sweet Hut, Precint 10

i love that it’s not overly sweet at all. and almond actually goes well with mango too! sago bits and pomelo pulps added different texture into the dessert! this is on their Top 10 list too!Steam Red Dates White Fungi Papaya Coconut Soup (hot) | RM 9.80
i love everything with sea coconut! but too bad, it’s too sweet for my liking.

is there any particular restaurant(s) that you always go back whenever you’re craving for certain food? Restoran Lee Hong Kee has always been our favourite restaurant when it comes to Chinese food!

the dishes are nothing over the top but homey and tasty, wait staffs are hospitable, and location is strategic too (to us la). the new location is even better with ample parking lots! it’s previously known as Restoran LYJ. new name for new premise perhaps?the new old Restoran Lee Hong Kee located at Kampung Baru Sungai Buloh, a Chinese settlement.they do wedding dinners too. i’m not sure how many pax can they cater, you might have to call in to check {Klang Valley} Restoran Lee Hong Kee @ Kg. Baru Sg. BulohChinese tea is best paired with Chinese food!Leaf Lettuce 清炒油麦 | RM18
simple stir-fried leaf lettuce with garlic and soy sauce.Beancurd Delight 沙煲豆腐 | RM 18
braised tofu with veggies and black fungus.Sweet & Sour Pork Chop 排骨王 | RM 22
one of my MUST-ORDER whenever i’m dining in Chinese restaurant! meat was solid, taste was great, the only complain is, the gravy was too starchy :/ i never likey gluey texture like this..Claypot Fish 生煲鱼 | RM 38
this was the first time i had this fish dish! really really fresh fish steamed in a claypot. pretty interesting. the flesh was really soft and remember to drizzle some of the gravy on! don’t fancy the smelly grasses scattered around though.complimentary plate of fruit to end our delightful lunchy!

all these came up to slightly over RM 100 inclusive of four rice and tea, which fed four of us well, pretty reasonable we thought.

and if you are here for the first time, you might wanna try the roasted chicken which is served standing errr elegantly with its nose held high! you will be given pair of scissors and gloves and you’ll have to dissect it yourself! pretty fun!

i donno if you’ve ever heard of a song, Summer Girls by LFO, one of the line says ‘Chinese food makes me sick’. they have no taste betul. tsk.

other than pork burger from Cafe 43 and Ric's Burger, charcoal burger from New York Pizza, and charcoal pork burger from Spade's Burger, there's Stacks Burger competing in Penang's burger scene now!Stacks Burger located at Siam Road, is operated ala push cart style. seating is available in the shop lot, equipped with air-conditioner (phew!) so it's comfortable to dine in!menu is pretty straightforward with only one Smoked BBQ Pork Burger, and you may pick to stack on or not. and only mineral water and canned drinks are available at the moment.

you'll be given number cards after placing your order. seems familiar? yeah the previous owners are acquaintance with the bossie of Spade's Burger, that's why ;)

now the owners are a few young entrepreneurs who work together to man this stall. two of them are acquaintance of mine. but rest assured, review is unbiased okie!Smoked BBQ Pork Burger | RM 8.80

my friend had this, the orginal pork burger on the menu, without any add-on. the burger had a slice of cheddar cheese and a pork patty together with caramelized onions, BBQ sauce, and lettuce.Smoked BBQ Pork Burger with pineapple rings and streaky bacon as stack-ons | RM 11.30while i had this! with pineapple rings and bacon stacked on my burger!

i actually like the pork patty here! it's crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. and the pineapple rings added extra freshness to the burger, making it lighter. bacon on the other hand was too thin to my liking, i almost couldn't taste it. and i reckon, they can go easy on the mayonnaise, perhaps apply on one side of the bun is sufficient? sorry i watch my diet :/

if you read my review on ric's burger, i complimented on the patty but it's too greasy for consumption. the burger at Stacks Burger wasn't greasy at all!

however, the price was a lil' steep after stacking-on :/.they said, beer and burger is a perfect match. what say you? ;)

whenever i am in KL (not technically KL, but it sounds weird to say PJ =.=), my biological OLDER brother (cos someone thought he's younger, they must be blind) will bring me out for dinner. and this day was no exception. he was cracking his head,
"where to makan ar?"
"haiya i anything one, just go wherever YOU wanna makan. i makan jor."

yeah i still makan with brother even though i already had mine at Royal Selangor Club with kaiye & kaima (my godparents). i'm risking my weight you see, where to find such good sister
so he drove around Kota Damansara and..
"aha! let's have Malay food!"
"okie!"
i am almost never pikey with my food, other than smelly grasses. and it has been awhile since i last dined in a Malay restaurant. mamak doesn't count la.
we ended up at Restoran Waneeda Tomyam!the interior is quite fancy, but we opted al fresco area, more windy.it's opened till late night early morning during this Ramadhan month! do call +603 61407646 or +6012 2662355 to reserve if you're coming in big group!Appetizer - Timun + Dip
after placing your order, an complimentary appetizer will be served! it's just timun and condiment. but don't overlook the dip, it's a bomb! i think it consists of cincaluk, fish sauce, lime and some spicy chili sauce cos it's FIERY but berry appetizing due to the sourness! definitely whetted my appetite!

cham, means i would have to eat again =.=Padprik Ayam
chicken and cauliflower and long bean stirred fried in padprik sauce. i'm not a fan of chicken breast so i ate most of the veggie. berry flavourful and slightly spicy. bro drenched his rice with the gravy, so it must be good. he is berry fussy with his food.Kailan Goreng
a simple yet tasty veggie dish.Telur Dadar
airy omelette! it's a MUST order whenever bro is having his dinner here, as a topping to his fried rice! i find it too oily. but guys don't really care muchy eh, eat first think later, their philosophy. tsk.Tom Yam Sotong
it's Restoran Waneeda TOMYAM, so how could i not order one? doesn't make sense right!

i was slightly taken aback when it's served. did we accidentally ordered clear soup? apparently the reddish tom yam we used usually have is Tom Yam Pok Taek =.=

but don't be fooled by its look, clear soup doesn't mean it's tame okie! it tasted like tom yam but without the oily part! it's another fiery hot dish that made us both perspired! abundant of chili padi! and also laden with sotong sotong is my bro's favourite seafood as he's allergic to prawn and crab FHL

i really enjoyed my dinner here at Restoran Waneeda Tomyam which serves homey dishes ala Melayu style! and also had a good catch up with bro! not that we don't talk usually, but you tend to share more insights when it's face to face right? ;)

and you know what, the bill came up to only RM 25 inclusive of three rice (we tapao some for kaima) and drinks! yesh the portion serves up to three person! so economic!

found a box of this Komugis Hanjuku Cheese cake (or stick) in the fridge. i had one and OMG it’s sooooo light, creamy, moist & fluffy! it melts instantly in your mouth! and due to the fact that it's light, you can easily nom three pieces at one go! i'm not too sure about the price, but it's totally worth it i can assure you!

it's made in Japan, a nation who's health-conscious, so i assume the calories is not really high. i think.
