Another week has passed by..another visit to a new place..With a cosy and homely ambiance, China House brings you a variety of 40 types of cakes, a selection of breakfast, lunch,dinner and drinks on the menu..


China House is a traditional pre-war shop house being converted into cafe, gallery and theatre..located at the Heritage Walk in Penang..China House was previously located at Stewart Lane with the well-known name of Kopi Cine behind the Goddess of Mercy Temple, however, they are now situated at a new location at Beach Street..

The Big breakfast is perfect for sharing among two people..unless you have a big appetite for food! It will only cost RM30.00 per serving..


Chocolate Rapsberry Layered Cake and Gula Melaka Ice Cream


The cakes are something which you should order for dessert..I miss the old Gula Melaka Ice Cream Layered Cake which I previously had in Kopi Cine..They have removed all items from the old menu..


The Chocolate Rapsberry Layered Cake consist of 6 Layers of Chocolate Cake, Chocolate filling, Rapsberry fruits and Cream in each layer...which costs RM15.00..
I ordered a Gula Melaka Ice Cream to accompany the cake..There are roughly around 14-15 selections of Home made Ice Cream..for RM8.00 per scoop..

One Night in Hatyai @ Hatyai,Thailand 2011 [Day Two(2)]

1 comments Posted by Angeline at 2:34 PM

It was day two in Hatyai, and we woke up early and meet up with the rest of the group and headed to the wet market for our breakfast..

Jye


On our way to the wet market..we spotted the same stall we saw on the first day..which sells the butter and sugar buns and tomyam with chicken floss..the lady boss was so nice and invited Jye to take a picture with her stall..and he looks like he is selling those buns now..

Me


Now it was my turn..the lady boss said..I should sit on the motorcycle and take a picture on it..LOLx..

Sugar with Butter Bun and Tomyam with Chicken Floss Bun


Here's a picture of the two buns we bought..Elizabeth bought the sugar with butter and Jye has the tomyam with chicken floss as we have already tried the sugar and butter on the first day..

Otak -Otak 


After a short walk..we finally reached the wet market..and I spotted an otak - otak stall..the otak - otaks are freshly grilled on the spot..

Guavas and Mangoes


Ever seen such mangoes..? They are as small as a golf ball size..and it is orange in colour..I heard that it tasted very good..but I wasn't in the mood for any fruits during that time..perhaps the next round then..

Pineapples


I wonder why their pineapples are so small in size..and they have such nice patterns on them..

Dim Sum


Fancy some chinese food..? There is also a dim sum stall..selling all kinds of dim sum..although there are not much varieties..

Chicken Rice


Me and dear decided to buy a packet of chicken rice..which is recommended by Connie to us..
The chicken rice is made out of "sticky" rice..(I do not know the exact term..) and fried chicken accompanied with fried onions..!
This is probably one of the dish which I miss the most from Hatyai..and honestly I have never tasted such a delicious fried chicken..

Porridge


After buying the Chicken rice, we headed to a shop which sells Porridge..which is also one of the famous stalls in Hatyai..Connie actually ordered the porridge without egg..but somehow..they gave her one with an egg..and the egg is raw..! Something different from our malaysian porridge..

Porridge


As for me and dear..we ordered only one bowl to share among the two of us..as we just had the chicken rice..however, ours was without the raw egg..

Both of Us


After finishing our meal..I decided to take a picture with the stall..to show how good the porridge is..

Connie and Eliz


And now it was both their turn to take a picture..

Connie and Eliz again!


Finally after reaching thailand for two days..we finally went on a tuk-tuk..I can't remember the last time I went on a tuk-tuk as it was many years ago in Phuket..The tuk-tuk was spacious..and there were only four of us in there..one ride costs us 20BAHT per person..see how cute the both of them are..

Dear and me


The tuk-tuk was so fast..that my hair was flying around like mad..!

The four of Us


Thanks to the tuk-tuk driver who offered to take a picture for us..

Eliz with me


Look at the stuff me and Eliz bought !! We tried to take a picture with all the stuff together..but it was too much..and unable to fit in the picture...

Swensen Ice Cream


Can you guess how much the swensen ice cream above costs? It costs us only 99BAHT..which is equal to our RM10.00!! LOLx..Cheap!

Fried Kailan and Chicken with Soy Sauce


It was almost time for departure..and before leaving..all of us decided to have our lunch before leaving..hence our only choice was "Choo Char" again like our first day when we arrived..except it was a different shop this time..

Tom Yam and Glass Noodles Prawns


The tomyam tasted much better than the one we had on our first day...and the glass noodles prawns was actually very good..but I was quite full from having too much food in the morning..


After lunch..we headed back to Penang..and reached home around the evening..it was such a wonderful trip..and I'm glad I was able to travel with my friends..I hope there will be another trip to Hatyai in future..!
