Missing some local Penang food after some few months away from this town of food haven? Fret not as you could easily either drive down or take a bus at your own comfort to reach this state, but best at off peak season. That surely ensure you a pleasant foodie getaway from those crowded tourist.

I always enjoy Penang’s version of Prawn Mee, for its irreplaceable sweet prawn-based soup. It is very intense and thick. Usually it would be paired with slices of hard-boiled egg, some thinly sliced fresh prawn meat with springy noodles and vermicelli. For soup preference, I always love to go with ‘lo cham teng’ ^_^

Soft Shell Crab Jyu with Rice

Finally, my very first encounter with soft shell crab indulgence. Am still a bit skeptical at first whether to really bite on the shell or would I regret it later Anyway, after testing the first bite, the shell seems alright, just need few extra chewing I suppose, hehe. The shell is actually quite chewy with its unexpected solid filling of the crab meat. It is quite tangy and juicy at the same time too, and that makes me wonder am I really eating a crab of rather crabmeat fritters. Nonetheless, it is quite a pleasant experience too.

Blackforest Fruit Cocktail

Other than the usual Western dining over here at Winter Warmers Coffee and Tea House, you could actually drop by for their loose flower tea too. You could then boil, simmer and enjoy your tea time at your own leisure. For this Blackforest Fruit Cocktail, it has a very smooth and fruity aroma. The blend is made up of varieties of berries includes blackberries, rose hips and hibiscus. You would need simmer the flower buds in hot water for about 3 minutes, before serving it. It is very relaxing too as you inhale the floral fragrance! ^_^

Green Tea Ice Blended

You could also go for the conventional choice like this glass of ice blended Green Tea. It is also paired with some whipping cream on top with some dashes of maccha powder too. Like the taste of the beverage for it comes with a decent amount of real green tea taste. When paired with the whipping cream, the drink is further enriched with some milkiness in it and thus taste much better. This reminds me of the similar fair but way concentrated with the milky maccha at Ikuzo Ramen. Although the colour of the beverage served here is lighter than what we used to see elsewhere, it is still considered an enjoyable drink to have

Jasmine

From the many choices of flower teas offered here, I personally enjoy more with Jasmine tea. For me, I feels it is very relaxing each time I sip it and somehow, helps to rejuvenates me after a sinful meal, plus, it is also very fragrant. It is also said to help relieves tension and menstruation cramps for the fairer sex. Therefore, for better result, this drink is advised to be drank daily after breakfast and lunch one week before menstruating to help regulate cycle and relieve cramps. But for me, anytime with a hot cup of Jasmine tea is always welcomed.
