In KL most of us fancy certain brand of Taiwanese Dessert as for Penang people, there are certain brand that capture their attention too. Blackball in Penang seems to be doing pretty well that have won many hearts of dessert people. I realiase it works for them in Penang too as this brand have quite a no.of branches.

Blackball (1)

First time testing out this brand, which it seems is another famous brand from Taiwan that certainly have no doubt in the taste.

Blackball (2)

While waiting for movies, then chill here for a while. Interior are pretty similiar to the others.

Blackball (3)

Try one of their new signature with corn base ice, with taro balls, grass jelly, corn, jelly and ice cream. First few bites of corn ice taste alright as the more we take, we could not finish it as if not mistaken pineapple was added in as there are sourish end. Taro balls wasnt done that well, as the texture is soft and non chewy. Not bad overall.

Blackball (4)

Another Blackball signature is serve with Taro Ball, Taro Q, Pearl, grass jelly and red beans served with some fresh milk (if serve cold). This is not bad as pretty strong taste of grass jelly is there, red bean added the bite texture, and I find it too much pearl for me. Next time should request less pearls. 😀

Blackball (5)

Try out their classic Pearl Milk Tea and 25% is too pale for us as other brand 25% is just perfect. For Blackball 50% sugar in their drinks is just perfect. I love their Winter Melon Tea. Strong in taste and not that sweet. Next time I know where to ta pau my drinks before movie.

One of the latest trend I heard my Penang friend talking about in our Watsapp chatroom is Hui Lau Shan which is one of a famous Hong Kong Desert had finally landed in Penang, being located inside Gurney Plaza which is one of the prime spot in Penang to start off with.  Whenvever I travel to in Hong Kong last time, I will make myself not to miss out this great desert. First stop after landed is Hui Lau Shan and finally make its mark into the island.

Hui Lau Shan (1)

Before Penang, it hit KL shore where this franchise open its very first outlet in 1-Utama and we instantly went to try out. (click here). In Penang its much different compare to the KL one’s as the outlet is bigger, more spacious and there is a line we have to queue which is longer than KL.

Hui Lau Shan (2)

Hui Lau Shan in Penang just open its door for less than a month and it had been well received by the locals.

Hui Lau Shan (3)

These are the few that I will always order or the recommended. . . Fresh Mango Mochi @ RM 4.90 for 3 pieces

Hui Lau Shan (4)

Mango with Pamelo

Hui Lau Shan (5)

Mango Icey Sweetie Ball @ RM 11.90

Apparently, I find that Penang version is must tasty than the ones in KL, in terms of mango and texture of it. Wonder is it the same owner? For more other flavours click here

This shop had been in my wanted list food hunting for quite long time, usually which the time is not ngam that me and my friends ended up eat other choices. So this round, we were totally lost do not know what to eat then remember this shop. The place is not big but always quite pack.

A modern living room style cross that came across my mind on their interior, quite a cozy place but it’s a bit warm after a while.

Besides the ala cart menu, they do offer set menu also which is kinda worth to try out.
We order set meal ‘3 Cup Chicken Rice’. Thick in sauce that goes along well with the rice but there is nothing special to comment on. RM 14.90

‘Pork Chop Rice Set’ RM13.90 with traditional method of Taiwan, their rice will always pour on with mince meat and the gravy. Its flavorful with the rice and . . .
The pork chop, was well deep fried and I guess pork cannot deep fried too long that will make the prok meat abit solid and chewy. I still prefer the fried chicken on Shin Lin Taiwan street food snack.
Their ‘Milk Tea’ is good, thick and quite fragrance with the tea taste and the pearl is the type that I like, chewy and a bit solid like chewing gum. RM3.50

After a while in this shop, I remember that, there is another Taiwan Food which is quite good mention by my friend and I heard during my colleage time long long time ago was the one at 1-Stop. Wondering is the shop still there.
