Rock Your Pizza in Pizzeria Hard Rock Hotel

Hard Rock Hotel has been a new attraction point for Penangites, especially for those whom are in favour with their selling items of clothes and souvenirs. If you're looking for Italian inspired food, you may consider to drop by the Pizzeria by the poolside.

Preparing on-the-spot, you can see how your Pizza is served by the chef here. I've decided to try out the Pizza Contadinna that is topped with grilled chicken, onion, mushroom and parmagiana cheese. Additionally, I've asked for the Fettuccine Carbonara that comes with the white creamy sauce with mushroom, onion and turkey bacon. I've to be frank that I don't like both of the menu. Starting with the Pizza, the dough is not tasty by itself and the toppings are as well not 'salty' enough to add on deliciousness to the Pizza. I do quite like the creamy sauce of the pasta but disappointingly that the ingredients are not making good match with the Fettuccine. The sauce and the turkey bacon are separating each other whereby the sauce is not absorbed into the tasteless bacon.

I like the sunset view from Hard Rock Hotel and I've indeed enjoyed the moment to sit down and to relax here peacefully. However, it's kind of incomplete without a good Italian Pizza here.

Peri-Peri at Nando's

'Welcome to the best-tasting flame-grilled Peri-Peri chicken in the world!'; Don't forget to visit Nando's if you like grilled chicken and especially if you wish to try out some special sauces. In fact, this is the first time that I've discovered that Nando's is originated from South Africa and they're specializing in preparing chicken dishes either with lemon and herb, mild, hot and extra hot Peri-Peri sauces. It's amazing that the Peri-Peri marinades are absorbed completely into the chicken and the meat itself is tender.

The common order in Nando's will be the Chicken Meals that you can choose to have the 1/4 Chicken or 1/2 Chicken that comes with 2 Sidelines. The sidelines range from chips, coleslaw, corn, bean salad, grilled vegetable to Mediterranean rice to fill up your stomach. I've decided to try out the Chicken Pita with extra hot Peri-Peri sauce. It's really spicy and the taste is burning in the mouth.

Nando's is a new experience to grill chicken and the deliciousness is just unforgettable. The most wonderful taste is still belonged to the variety of Peri-Peri sauces here.

Same Name... L'OSTERIA, Yet in Langkawi

Browsing through the map of Langkawi, I'm attracted by the wording L'OSTERIA Italian Restoran & Bar and we've decided to try out this Italian food that is located at Jalan Pantai Tengah. I'm here with an expectation that I can find the tasty Pizza or Pasta that I've had in Germany.

Attila and I have decided to share two Pizzas; Pizza with Salami and Mushroom and Pizza with Pepperoni, Turkey Ham and Artichokes. Both Pizzas have somehow reminded us about the deliciousness of Italian Pizza back in Europe; the thin and crispy dough with a thin layer of cheese are the best combination that we've missed to have in Penang. I guess the only disappointment is without the Pork Salami. An Italian restaurant is just incomplete without pork.

Still on the journey to search for a Pizza place in Malaysia, that can fulfill our appetite...

Ex Prime Minister in Langkawi

Everyone keeps on whispering to me that I've to visit the bakery by our previous prime minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad if I'm happened to visit Langkawi Island. The wish is finally granted during my visit with my Boyfriend and friends, here I'm introducing The Loaf Bakery & Bistro that is located at Telaga Harbour Park by Pantai Kok.

I'm in fact quite disappointed because I don't find a wide selection of varieties of bread here. I've finally decided to go for their special drink of Cube 60°C. This is The Loaf's signature and unique brewed coffee whereby the Espresso is frozen to -60°C to concentrate the taste of the blended coffee beans. Then, being poured with hot milk to let the Espresso ice cube to be dissolved slowly; this is the method to enjoy the richness of the coffee in a milky way.

Additionally, I've tried the Cheese Cupcakes here. The surprise that I've from Cube 60°C is somehow destroyed by the dry and fluffy cheese cake. The cake is as well tasteless without the aroma and tastiness of cheese inside.

Melting Myself in Summer

One of the greatest thing about Summer in Regensburg is to treat myself to a cone or a cup or a glass of ice. The hot Summer with the cold ice, this is a perfect combination to indulge myself into the satisfaction of taste bud. You can easily spot an ice shop along any roads or streets that you can choose from. An ice shop is not selling ice-cream or gelato only, but you can find as well other products such as yogurt or coffee.

Standing in front of the ice shops, I'm confused and I'm wondering... Oh mine, which flavours that I should take? Either with natural flavours that you can choose from the counter, to add on additional toppings such as fruits and nuts or to mix yogurt with ice, you can as well ask for liquor in your ice gelato. Exploring into the world of ice yet there has been too many...

Mixed nuts ice at Gelini Café Gelateria...

Amaretto ice at Eis Paradise...

Kirsch Joghurt at Eiscafé Bar Rossi...

Sommer Traum at Eis am Dom...

Regardless of the ice shops, I'm personally fancy at the yogurt and the naturally flavoured scoop ice that I can obtain in cone.
