Dining at 1881 Chong Tian Cultural Hotel @ UNESCO Heritage Penang

It feels so great to be able to have dinner at a place full cultural and antiques.
1881 Chong Tian Cultural Hotel would be a great choice for that.
Their cultural boutique hotel would be one of the attraction in this place.

It is located in Jalan Pintai Tali, a street in between Chulia Street and Campbell Street

Car Jockey services is available in here

You can see the entrance has been filled with Chinese Culture

They have also obtained plenty of awards for their hotel

Very nice and traditional fountain

Their restaurant caters to all types of occasions

I love this decorations of Dragon and Phoenix

It was pretty crowded when I was there

中天靓热荤
Chong Tian Four Combination

The fish ball was rather chewy and the sauce is kinda nice. The size of the fish ball is kinda big too. 

This bacon wrapped is really delicious! It wasn't dry as it seems but rather juicy

Salted Egg wrapped, it was kinda crispy and the egg yolks are fabulous!

Sea Asparagus with Macadamia nuts, what a weird combination but it was great when the seas asparagus was chewy while macadamia nuts were crispy

干贝蟹肉群翅
Braised Shark's Fin with Crabmeat and Dried Scallop

There were really a lot of crabmeat in this soup, and I believe many of you will actually reject this dish as we all heard about the cruelty of obtaining shark's fin.
So do I, and I suggest restaurants to replace this dish by offering something like fish maw or other types of soup instead of shark's fin.

You can see how big pieces are the crabmeats, they are fresh and nice too

川弓醉香鸡
Fried Chicken with Chinese Wine
This dish is really good! The chicken was marinated with chinese wine for quite a while before they fried it, so the chicken has absorb the wine perfectly.
 The chicken are juicy and tender, with the great taste that made it tasted so good!

椒茸蒸石斑
Steamed Grouper Fish with Chilli and Garlic
The grouper fish was so fresh that the fish meat are soft and smooth. I believe that they also added some lime or vinegar into the sauce that it became slightly sour, together with chilli and garlic, this dish is so appetizing.

乡下佬炒饭
Fried Rice with Village Style
All of us were surprised when we saw bean sprouts in fried rice. This fried rice was rather special but tasted not bad. The ingredients they used are really nice such as medium sized shrimps, fried tiny shrimps and also chinese sausages. 

龙珠鲜果冰
Chilled Dragon Mixed Fruits
The desserts are also special as it tasted a bit like strawberry but they said there are no strawberry in this dessert. There are only mixed fruits and some jelly that made this dessert kinda special, as it goes with fresh dragon fruit juice.

Another 2 dishes which missed out by them

龙凤扣时蔬
Dragon Phoenix Green Garden

Crumbs Penang @ Penang Gurney Paragon Mall

What could be better than a nice dessert all the way from Hong Kong?
Frozen Yogurt is my all time favourite! Always!
Crumbs was in KL for a while, and now it came to attack Penang!

Crumbs is famous for their Scones and Frozen Yogurt

Enter from the Front Gate of Gurney Paragon, go down from the information counter and you will see Crumbs on your right.


MySuperVIP is also available here in Crumbs


Raisin Scones
1 for RM 2.90
3 for RM 7.90
6 for RM 14.90
The raisin scones are very soft, at the same time you would love it this if you are a raisin love, it is not too dry like scones from other stores. The raisins are kinda big too, not like what we usually had for snacks.
It is just perfectly baked, else it would be dry and hard.
Must try!



Cheese Scones
1 for RM 2.90
3 for RM 7.90
6 for RM 14.90
You definitely have to try this if you are a cheese freak! It is so cheesy and I love it on my first bite!
This scones tasted salty and it is also very soft, it feels like cheese melted in your mouth when you bite it!
Even from the texture itself you can see that it looks good!
Highly recommended!



Chocolate Scones
1 for RM 2.90
3 for RM 7.90
6 for RM 14.90
These chocolate scones has got chocolate chips in it. So it would be more crispy compare to the other two flavours. Chocolate scones would be sweet if you compare it to another 2 which one was salty, and another one was a bit sour due to the raisins added. 
Must try too!


Green Tea Mousse & Lychee Panna Cotta 
1 for RM 5.50
3 for RM 14.90
6 for RM 27.90
We also got the try out the Green Tea Mousse and Lychee Panna Cotta.
Let's talk about the Green Tea Mousse first, it was really smooth and soft. It tasted just like Haagen Dazs's Green Tea Ice Cream, but not as sweet as the one. Definitely worth the price you paid for. 
As for the Lychee Panna Cotta, it was a bit watery. The lady boss told us that it was freshly made on that day and it isn't cooling enough yet. But it tasted really fresh and nice. On top of the mousse, there are crushed peanuts to make it tasted even nicer. What surprised me was there are fresh lychee inside the mousse. Highly recommended!

Their best seller!

Large size of Frozen Yogurt with Mini Meringue, Chocolate Brownie and House Crumbs!
The Mini Meringue and House Crumbs is definitely a must try!

The mini meringue tasted exactly like that I had when I was a kid, on the biscuit that we usually used to pray.
