Passionis (GPS: 5.41453,100.32119) occupies two shops at Siam Road, George Town, Penang with four parking spaces reserved for customers in front. Do not park your car there if you are not intended to visit Passionis as you will probably be whipped by the lady owner. We recently visited it for a unique tea pairing session.
De Fresh Cafe (GPS: 5.32256,100.28303) is located in Elit Avenue, Bayan Baru, Penang. Compared to other restaurants there, the cafe is pretty low profile with a PVC banner hanging outside. We visited one evening to give it a try.
Dessert cafes are mushrooming in Penang island. Once, I had a slice of cake and a cup of coffee at a new cafe in George Town, and the bill turned out to be RM30+. As a full-time blogger with near-zero income, I told myself, “No way I am going to visit any similar cafe in future!”. Until recently, I found a bakery hidden in a five-star hotel providing descent quality cakes fresh from their oven at an affordable price.
