♥ London: Burger & Lobsters Mayfair

好久没更新。 2020年因为疫情的关系很多生活甚至工作上的转变要适应 直到今年来到了八月 还是有很多的挑战 差点忘了自己偶尔喜欢写写部落格 喜欢看回以前生活或旅行时拍下的回忆 这些对我而言这是一种放松。 

今天来回忆 写写我们的欧洲游。第一站 伦敦。

从杜拜机场出发到伦敦 飞了7小时45分钟 终于到啦 飞机上看下去的伦敦 抵达的时候 心里挺感动的 💓 毕竟其实没计划过或想过可以那么快实现欧洲游。机票是在槟城拍婚照时突然看到的机票优惠 就买下了4月的机票。没有任何计划没有任何头绪要到哪里玩 但老公想说我的生日可以在巴黎过。 😂 也没顾虑到气候等。但整个欧洲游我觉得真的很美好，虽然有些小惊吓。

依稀记得到了伦敦机场是大概当地傍晚4-5点， 先买了Oyster Card (当地的交通卡, 30英镑)，接着就是要搭地下铁Picadilly line 到King Cross St Pancras站。因为酒店就在车站附近。 

我们入住的是 Point A Hotel. 酒店门外房内的照片都没拍，估计是因为途中看见有酒鬼乱搭讪缠着路人要钱 心里有点不安也害怕成为目标 就快快的进入hotel check in 等 也许也是因为有点累了。酒店的房规模特小 放了行李两个人在房里步行有点勉强😂 但是整体环境很干净很舒服的。

因为有点累 而也快到了晚餐时间 休息了一会儿 我们就决定到Mayfair的Burger & Lobster 去用餐，这间也是Burger & Lobster 连锁最早期的第一间。地点不难找，乘搭地铁到 Green Park站 然后随着人群走出站外 沿途会经过一个大公园 很值得停下来溜达一下 感受下大自然 还有拍照留恋。4月的伦敦气候偏冷当天的气候温度大概10-12度左右，偶尔会下毛毛雨 天阴阴的。

越过公园走到公园出口，再越过马路，大概走一小段路就可以抵达Burger & Lobster Mayfair。我们不知道需不需要预定或会满座 就心想碰一碰运气。这里的街道建筑风格都很美呀。 

 

抵达的时候　餐厅里人挺多几乎满座　幸运的有空桌给我们。餐价挺高的，我们点了两人套餐Combo For Two 还有饮料。饮料的选择都挺特别的 5英镑一杯 差不多30马币。我们点了一杯Mandarin Cooler. 饮料里有mandarin，lime，mint 和 apple。味道很清爽很开胃很解腻。

龙虾

龙虾我们记忆中不算太小只 非常新鲜 肉很鲜嫩 汉堡相比之下比较普通些。他们有提供一个很特别的餐具 原来是用来钩龙虾肉出来的 很好用。这一餐我们是很满足的 也为伦敦第一天旅游画上完美句点。

晚餐后 就回到酒店好好休息 因为接下来的行程满满。 💗

♥ Hoshino Coffee Malaysia 星乃珈琲店, Midvalley KL

Found out this new cafe (Hoshino Coffee Malaysia) in Mid Valley Megamall. The long queue at the entrance of cafe grabbed our attention. Did a google search and found out that this cafe was founded in Japan in year 2011. We thought it is from Taiwan and we have not seen it in Japan. This cafe is well-known for their hand-dripped coffee. So, why not give a try?

﹒

Flipping through the menu, the choices of food pretty much similar to Miam Miam (Marco) Cafe. 

French toast topped with sugar and cream (RM17.70). Quite disappointing actually and cannot compare/beat to the famous french toast I had in Miam Miam. Although not too wet and soggy, but not soft enough and not so rich in custardlike flavour. 

We also ordered the Hoshino Spaghetti which comes with eggplant, chicken bacon, shimeji and chicken sausage (RM19.70). This spaghetti also very much similar to the "miam miam" spaghetti. Slight salty and oily to our liking. 😅 Dislike the sesame blend in too.

Souffle Pancake (Single, RM14.80). Price is on the high side. Souffle supposed to be soft and fluffy isn't it? This is more like a butter cake. 

Basically all the foods that we ordered failed to impress and please us. What about the drink? Famous for hand-dripped coffee? So this is a-must-order?

Hoshino coffee (RM12.10). Not worth the price. We personally feel McD black coffee taste better. Okay or just maybe we are not a real coffee drinker and we don't know how to appreciate. 

Hot matcha latte (RM14.90). We like how they served it in a Japanese-styled bowl. This reminded us on our trip to Japan. You can add in a shot of syrup provided if you like it sweeter. Not one of the best matcha latte we had, but not bad.

Err so... in overall, long queue does not guarantee good foods. Although the foods are not so good to us, but could be palatable to many people out there. Just give a try and justify yourself. ✌

♥ Waffle at The Owls Cafe, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur

光阴似箭，一转眼已超过一年没更新部落格了。近一两年，真的好繁忙，忙工作忙硕士还有忙旅行忙吃的 呵呵。现在工作总算上轨了？硕士的东西也差不多搞定了？我想我可以慢慢开始写写部落格，继续记录着生活的酸甜苦辣，继续分享好的东西。

2017年的第一篇文，就写写吃的吧。The Owls Cafe。我想很多人对这cafe一点都不陌生吧，尤其那些喜欢吃华夫饼（waffle）的朋友。面子书和社交网站也超多人推荐这家cafe的。

这家cafe坐落于Bukit Jalil，在店面的一楼。楼梯口下你可以看到这个蓝色的很可爱的招牌。

说好了是 The Owls Cafe，咖啡厅里主要的装饰画画等当然都是猫头鹰主题，甚至也有猫头鹰茶壶和杯哦。

咖啡馆里的面积还算可以，个人觉得不会太小，但是常满座（对不起，没有照片-.-"）。我共去了三次，三次都是weekend。还没到cafe门口就看到有人在楼梯上排队了。说真的，在楼梯间排队真的有点累，因为很闷热。但店员都还蛮体贴啦，有准备冰冷的水给排队等候的顾客们解渴。

去了三次，都是坐在bar台。没办法，因为满座也许会等比较久，然后我们只有两个人，所以如果不要等 坐在bar台是最恰当不过了。bar台对着这画面 也不错吧。喜欢那橙色的灯光，放满杯子茶壶的柜子，咖啡机... 边享用咖啡蛋糕还可以欣赏bartender拉花。一个好像只属于我们的角落。😘

哦对了，如果要下单必须先到收银处去下单然后给钱。然后店员会递给你收据 还有这号码木块。清水是免费的，任加。

说说吃的。这蛋糕 称为 “The Lady’’。其实不懂为什么是这个名字。因为它只不过是earl grey tea 蛋糕。个人本身不太喜欢这蛋糕的口感，但那淡淡的earl grey tea 香味还不错吃。

也点了这个，tofu-fah cheesecake。相比之下，个人比较喜欢这蛋糕。cheese虽然不太浓，但刚刚好，吃多了不会觉得太腻。

Special affogato。点了这个 纯粹只为了拍照，因为那装着浓咖啡的猫头鹰小杯实在太可爱了。冰淇淋是vanilla口味的。

Rose latte。每次来都点这个，因为喜欢那淡淡的玫瑰味。拉铁也不会太甜。

Rebecca waffle。来这cafe基本上都是因为冲着这个而来的。因为他们家的waffle软硬度刚刚好。外层有点酥里层比较软，整体的口感很好。尤其搭配着新鲜的草莓水果等，还有那很香的earl grey冰淇淋，很好吃。还有另一点我很喜欢的是他们加了一些椰丝，配着waffle吃起来味道还蛮特别的。

Peach tea。点这个也只是为了拍照，因为这猫头鹰茶壶杯子太可爱了。

下次来 也许会试试brunch。

♥ Boat Noodles at Noodle Doodle Thai Restaurant, New World Park, Georgetown, Penang

Here comes another new boat noodle restaurant in town, named "Noodle Doodle Thai Restaurant". 

Noodle Doodle is located in New World Park, a modern food centre (foodcourt) in Georgetown.

This boat noodle restaurant is clean and quite spacious, with simple interior design.

The menu or food choices, however, quite limited. 

We ordered only a drink, two bowls of thai style pork noodles and a side dish, tofu-tofu-tofu.

Something special (RM 6.90), is their house specialthy drink. It is lime juice with mint leaves. Quite a good drink to quench thirst and very refreshing, although the price is on the high side. 

Tofu-tofu-tofu (RM 3.90). Deep fried tofu topped with three flavoured chilli sauce and cucumber slices. Surprisingly tastes very good and not too spicy for a person who can't take spicy foods. The deep fried tofu absords the chilli sauce, and when you bite it burts into your mouth. 

Boat noodle (soup), RM 1.90 per bowl. It is thai style pork noodle. Soup is quite herbaceous, and we like its overall combination with the addition of kangkung/ water spinach. Portion wise, really small. 

Boat noodle (dry), RM 1.90 per bowl. Also a thai style pork noodle. Also quite good although lack of the taste of herbs. 

If to compare this boat noodle to the boat noodle served by others famous boat noodle restaurants, we personally prefer this type of boat noodles (flavour and taste),
