Taiwan's No 1 Boba.
Some friends complained that it wasn't nice, some friends told me it was good. So hmmmmmm.

I was pretty shock when I went over about 4pm no wasn't a queue.

     
I feel so kesian to her cause you know they have to keep stir the pearls or else it'll harden.



So many staffs but no people in the afternoon or evening.


     
See what it says about you!

Xing Fu Tang MENU
Credit to bubbleteamalaysia.com for the menu cause me being a stupid person forgotten to take the picture of it.

Mango Smoothie and Rabbit Panna Cotta - RM 14.50
I noticed almost every boba shops now coming out with a mango kinda drink so of course I was excited for this. 
But nope, this mango is tasteless. Panna Cotta was errr okay la. But overall for that kinda price? I will never in my life buy again.

Brown Sugar Boba Milk - RM 12.50
The hype of this in KL is insane but once I had a sip of it, it's just so, normal. Honestly, I was so disappointed about it.
There's nothing exciting. There's no different flavours. It's just like that. Ma ma dei.

Probably should try KL branch instead to see is it the same or just as horrible.
Definitely not that worth to go to in Ipoh.
Could try once just for the sake of your instagram profile and that's it.

Alright! Cafe hunting is back!
So many on my list but I haven't gone anywhere aiyo.

     
So there's a souvenir shop opposite and a gallery above it.

and inside is gorgeous!



     
I love how every corner there's vintage decorations, never a sight to miss.

That's a lot of Chinas. 

     

Dong Cafe MENU









     
Rose Tea - RM 9.00
Fragrant at first sight. Your eyes smell the tea hahaha.
It's a soothing drink.

Cherry Blossom Tea - RM 9.00
Not so much of the smell, but when you drink it down, wow.
I couldn't stop adding hot water to my pot.

 Blue Rice with Nyonya Chicken Rendang - RM 22.00
That rendang though. I cannot get enough of it. So so so so so good!
Chicken is very well cooked, juicy still on the inside. This whole plate is just so delicious!

 Fried Squid - RM 16.00
Couldn't resist looking at it on the menu so we ordered it.
Seasoning spot on!

 Ayam Rempah Bao - RM 22.00
Black buns. your choice of fries or scrambled egg, and awesome rempah chicken.
It's quite a filling plate for a bao treat.

An Overview.

It's a little bit more on the pricier side but the food does justice.
There's always crowd coming in and you can see this place is doing very well.
Cause the food is that good.
So go on and have a try.
Malaysian favourites are all in here.

Daboba 熊黑堂 @ Soho, Ipoh

7:57 PM Felicia Grace 0 Comments

Not sure what to say about myself after drinking so many bubble tea shops. Sigh.
But! This was a must cause it was the rave everyone was talking about.
They said ITS THE BEST, well let me be the judge of that.

     
Inside is pretty dim, and surprisingly a lot of Malay customers around.

We queue for a while and it was 11.30pm at night. Still need to queue aiyo.


     

 But inside is so spacious because its the corner lot of the business centre.

 Hello yummy cakes!

 Daboba MENU

Mango Frappe (Yogurt) - RM 13.90
So this one, at first sip is yummy, but almost half way, it's just too much.
It's so "gao" and so cold, you can't finish it fast.
Mango does not taste 100% artificial but doesn't taste 100% fresh either so I don't know what's in it.

Roasted Brown Sugar Pearl Fresh Milk - RM 13.90
This though, their signature.
They roasted the top part of the drink that is the cheese. So you sip a crunch of it with the drink itself, it definitely did elevate it.
The pearls are so soft, I love it. Soft till you can just swallow.
After drinking the whole cup, yup, I had enough. 

For the price you pay, it is definitely a little bit pricier than the usual bubble teas around.
But it does make you super full, so win-win I guess for them and for you.
I wouldn't say its the best but one of the top best.
Definitely can try it out and worth the wait for only a little while.

Wheeler's @ Georgetown, Penang

11:08 AM Felicia Grace 0 Comments

So this is in one of my list to go to this year, ever since the spontaneous cafe hop in June, and I couldn't wait to come back to Penang for more.


     
There's not a lot of space on the ground floor. And we were seated next to the bar table, and people kept walking through us, it was extremely uncomfortable.

As you can see, they have a lot of space upstairs but the waitress said we have to book in advance to make a reservation to be able to sit upstairs. Mmmkay. Whateves.

     

 Wheeler's MENU












 Iced Caramel Macchiato - RM 14.90
Just like any other, this however has nicely balance the coffee texture.

Avocado Mango Milkshake - RM 18.90
I'm not a very big fan of avocado but this taste really really good. 
It was a really hot late afternoon, and this was just perfect.

Banana Pancake - RM 13.90 
Hearty layered buttermilk pancakes filled with fresh banana and finish with homemade granola, fruits and maple syrup.
Pancakes were fluffy but not too fluffy, fresh fruits and granola taste amazing!

Truffle Spaghetti Carbonara - RM 24.90 
Spaghetti pasta, onion, white truffle oil, smoked turkey bacon, mushroom and creamy alfredo sauce. Topped with egg yolk, parmesan cheese and toast of focaccia bread.
Licked the plate clean. So cheesy and creamy, and the truffle oil elevates the flavour. 

Espresso Chicken - RM 22.90 
Pan grilled boneless chicken thigh, mashed potato, buttered vegetables, asparagus, espresso coffee and creamy sweet white sauce.
The sauce is sweet so the espresso gives it a nice balance. I love how the chicken was cooked to perfection.

An Overview.

HOWEVER,
I seriously couldn't care less if you have trip advisor excellent award for how many years, I honestly just want to eat in peace. Probably caught me at a very bad timing, as just finish work and so exhausted and hungry for food, my mood wasn't that great. Seated next to such a busy lane, lagi tak syiok. And with the bar shouting out and about, singing along to some tunes, I just couldn't. No matter how good the food is, service must be top, if not, I just wouldn't go back again.
