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.

The Mid-Autumn Festival or Mooncake Festival which falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month is one of the important festivals observed by Chinese all over the world. Many of the restaurant owners will take this advantage to showcase their individual version of mooncake taste and snowskin mooncake had been one of the latest trend to evolve over the past years.

Still this Supreme Mixed Nuts remains as one of the heavy weight classic version that many people love this.

Always comes to mooncake, I still prefer my classic version with White Lotus Paste with Single Yolk. Yolk is definately a must and without it is like cooking a plate of noodle without oil. 😀

Sweetened Red Beans with Green Tea Paste

One that stood out very well is  White Coffee Lotus Paste with Walnuts, yes, they really do it in Coffee version that the flavour is not too strong, creamy and  mild enough not to overpower the taste of the yolk and after taste of coffee is build upon your taste bud. One of a recommended one.

Comes to their snowskin version, they have pretty impressive range especially on the skin texture that I could not reveal it to you, certainly it stood up more than the rest. A bit soft chewy that pairs very well with the filling that they insert in.

one world (17)_resize

 Mini Snow Skin – HoneyDew Paste, Orange Flavour and Black Sesame seed.

Among those 3 flavours, it stood up by itself that Honeydew taste like rock melon sweet, orange flavour with robust taste like orange skin and Black sesame is just perfect.

The mooncakes are available in beautiful gift boxes which can hold 4 or 8 pieces mooncakes, from now until 30 September 2012.  The mini snowskin mooncakes are priced at RM10 each while the regular-sized ones are priced at RM18 upwards per piece.

Heee, at last I have decided to try the cafe next to this duck rice last weekend that I always eat which is one of my Favourite stall. Heard by my friends and colleague saying that the food next door is quite nice, so me and my friend decided to give it a try.

The cafe definitely have nice ambiance as that day was a match of ManU against ManC. Quite a nice place to watch football also.


Never really care less about the match as I was very hungry and quite alot of patrons in the cafe that day. Seems like alot of the customer in there ordered western food as in the menu it has a wide range of food, from western, Chinese fried style cuisine and Malay food.

So I ended up ordering Mushroom Soup and Spaghetti Carbonara.

Mushroom Soup
The mushroom soup came first, can say that the butter is very very nice with the bread. to my disappointment the Soup, i believe every one can cook it. It taste like Campbell Soup with a lil water in there.
Spaghetti Carbonara
The Spaghetti Carbonara it looks very delicious when it came. Looks cheezy and creamy. Then I fast fast try it. ‘celaka‘ salt no need money ah. If it is less salt, I believe it will taste nice. It is very cheezy and creamy, ori of carbonara. Overall for the soup and spaghetti, I did not finish both of the food. Only manage to finish half each.
On the other side my friend she ordered, Mushroom Soup also and Mushroom Chicken.
The Mushroom Chicken when it was served, definitely the food presentation is much better compare to mine, the chicken is like nearly covered by the mushroom and the sos is dark brown, serve with french friends, red beans and coleslaw. Saw the expression when she first bite it, she like smirk and find it a bit salty. She did manage to finish the food cuz she was hungry.
Mushroom Chicken
Overall, will return for the food again by trying other dishes, definitely won’t try back their western menu. The price for the food is kinda average as comes to RM37.50
Mushroom Soup RM 4.20
Mushroom Chicken RM 10.50
Spaghetti Carbonara RM 8.20
Juice RM 4
5% gov tax.
