O-Hai-Yo! Greetings peeps! Those that are following me on my social media would know that i was in Tokyo, Japan for a couple of days, exploring this unique and beautiful metropolitan of the east. Now that i'm back, i can't wait to show you guys my thoughts and experience during the trip! Before that, let me present to you, one of the biggest coffee force in my hometown, Penang--Macallum Connoiseur.

Roasting Room

Cappucino con Cocoa--RM 10 Cappucino dusted with chocolate powder

Homemade Chai Latte--RM 16 Special mix of 7 spices (Black Pepper, Cardamon, Anise, Star Anise, Clove, Cinnamon and Coriander Seeds)

Smoked Salmon Bagel Smoked salmon with poppy seeds bagel, served with wasabi cream cheese, salad and balsamic dressings.

Matcha Sesame Cheesecake

    Perhaps i was expecting too much from this star level cafe in Penang, i was greatly disappointed by their coffee and tea. To begin with, cappucino's latte art was nothing much but a basic 3-layered tulip, flawed some more. Flavour was leaning towards acidic and fruity, not exactly my preference. It would be better to let the customers to choose their beans, just like Earthlings in Kuching, so that every customers is pleased. Homemade Chai Latte was priced at an astonishing RM 16. Speaking of a small pot of tea, filled with simple spices and minimal amount of tea and warm milk absolutely does not cost that high. The portion was so pathetically small and there was barely any chai spices tasted. I would not recommend another cup. On the bright side, smoked salmon bagel was a tad better than those disappointing beverages. I like the generosity of the kitchen, in providing decent amount of smoked salmon. Wasabi cream cheese was an unique twist to this conventional dish. Salad was just ordinary, nothing memorable. Matcha Sesame Cheesecake was delicious as whole, with its soft and creamy cheese layers. However, the two flavours make no sense together. It is unwise to combine 2 flavours of the same nation (JAPAN) together without a harmony of taste.
