one of my favourite activity on weekend is exploring cafes around George Town with buddies!Henry suggested The Mugshot Cafe this morning, did some googling, knew bagel is what they famous for, since all of us have never tried any, so off we went to The Mugshot Cafe which located at Chulia Street (i call it guai lou street, cos there’s many budget hotels and travel agency catered for backpackers). we had to quint our eyes to spot this little cafe, as there’s no obvious signage, the only useful di
one of my favourite activity on weekend is exploring cafes around George Town with buddies!Henry suggested The Mugshot Cafe this morning, did some googling, knew bagel is what they famous for, since all of us have never tried any, so off we went to The Mugshot Cafe which located at Chulia Street (i call it guai lou street, cos there’s many budget hotels and travel agency catered for backpackers). we had to quint our eyes to spot this little cafe, as there’s no obvious signage, the only useful direction tip is, it’s located beside Rainforest Bakery!
it was a late afternoon, and business was brisk!five of us had to squeeze ourselves around one small table. i love the vibe here, berry lively and humble!
as soon as we were seated, we were told that bagels were sold out! what a damper! we still stayed on nonetheless, to try out other items on the menu.
the wooden tables and chairs remind us of those we used to use during primary school! nostalgic muchy!
remember not to ask “can i have the menu please”, because there’s a giant one in front of you!i giggled when i overheard someone asking..
Yogurt with Walnuts & Raisins | RM 10my friends (both guy and girl) commented that the yogurt was toooo sour for their liking! i took a spoon in, and find it’s actually okay. you see, taste is really a berry subjective thing!
it’s sour but not to the extent kenot tahan. honey is available at disposal anyway. those you bought at supermarket aren’t that sour because they are laden with sugar! The Mugshot Cafe makes their yogurt in house! if you’re lucky you might get to see the execution in the shop!
Latte | RM 10my cuppa latte with failed coffee art {Penang} The Mugshot Cafe @ Chulia Street
i don’t think their coffee was great.. but i am not even a coffee person to begin with, so don’t take my words seriously.
Muffin with Cream Cheese & Smoked Salmon | RM 10freshly baked muffin (instead of bagel sob sob) paired with a cream cheese and smoked salmon. however, the salmon were too thin, we hardly could taste it if it’s eaten as a whole. slightly thicker salmon and it’d be perfect!
Apple Crumbles Pie | RM 5pie were great! not cloying at all!
The Mugshot Cafe is a great place for brekkie, and yum cha as the ambiance is rather relaxing! not satisfying enough for main meal i reckon. i am an ant with HUGE appetite! certainly can’t patronize frequent, as the pricing was quite steep for students. :/http://constance-ant.com/2013/06/penang-the-mugshot-cafe-chulia-street/
