Mc Cafe at Penang International Airport

Mc Donald Malaysia had launched their new business project on coffee which named as Mc Cafe. Mc Cafe is actually founded at the Mc Donald International Headquarter at US which is expanded widely starting from this year. Most of the branded franchising network will first drop by to KL first and spread to nationwide in Malaysia.  

Mc Donald had expanded the first Mc Cafe to Penang International Airport. It's a pride for Penangites which can have the chance to try out the brand new coffee from Mc Donald. Now Mc Donald is expanding as variety F&B outlet which served fast foods, drinks, ice creams and now coffee too! Nice one.

Mc Cafe served the great coffee like Coffee Bean and Starbucks too... They provided the Latte series, Cappuccino series, Frappuccino series and many more! The most great one is every coffee pricing is from RM 5.90... it's much cheaper than others! :D

Well, Mc Donald is expanding their business from kids until the all-aged F&B. As I always visit Mc Donald at Penang International Airport, I could see that the most crowded place is Mc Donald. Mc Donald has more than 20 outlets in Penang and the most great one is at Greenlane! Students' all time favourite... after school, ice cream time! Do you like that too? Posted by GenYong 03.12.2012

CEO of Chatime Malaysia, Mr Bryan Loo.

Chatime is a well known tea company which originated from Taiwan. It was founded on year 2010 start from Kuala Lumpur. The 1st outlet was opened in Pavillion KL by Bryan Loo, the boss of Chatime Malaysia. After 1 year of business and he decided to try out something new:  

Chatime Galleria, a new concept store from Chatime Malaysia. It was found in year 2011 and the first Chatime Galleria was in Lot 10, Kuala Lumpur. The 2nd one is at Bandar Puteri Puchong, which full of events and almost every night was crowded of people. Which is the 3rd and 4th one? From the research, the third one is located at Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam and the 4th one was at Straits Quay, Penang.

Chatime Galleria, Lot 10

Chatime Galleria, Bandar Puteri Puchong

I made my first time to Chatime Galleria at Straits Quay. It was opened since April 2012, the crowds of people are still maintain and many teenagers use to be so relaxing and chit chatting with their friends while having a cup of Milk Tea or Fruit Tea.

#1 Queueing for the drinks order. 

#2 The customers were discussing on what Tea should they have when they are feeling Thirstea! :D

The efficiency of cashier is quite good and it takes me about 5 minutes for my turn to get my drinks although the queue is quite long. It's a good experience! :D

The nice interior design of the outlet. The tea are arranged according to the order and clearly written what kind of tea is that. From the left is Roasted Milk Tea, Milk Tea, Brown Rice Green Tea, Green Tea, Black Tea... Nice arrangement.

I love the backdrop of the outlet. It was written as 日出茶太 which is the original name of Chatime. There are a lot of tables and chairs for the customers. They can either play the card games or discussing some matters on the table together. It's a nice socializing place!

I have bought myself a cup of Mango Green Tea with the toppings of Rainbow Jelly! The large size cost me RM 6.90. It's worth and delicious as the Chatime Malaysia always recommended! :D 

The nice working place and I wish I have the chance to work inside this place. The nice interior renovate, nice fridge cover, nice order and nice environment. For customers, it is a good place to relax your mind and play some social games as well. 

#3 Chatime Malaysia recommended: Mango Green Tea with Rainbow Jelly.

So what do you think about Chatime Galleria? I found that Chatime Malaysia is really well planning on their business and keep on expanding in this few years. They even open up the biggest Chatime at Bukit Mertajam and the seaside Chatime at Kuantan. So do you like Chatime too? Good Tea Good Time! Posted by GenYong 05.11.2012

Tea Secret at Queensbay Mall

Besides Chatime, there was a lot of tea desserts popping out recently. For Penang, there was 6Celcious, ShareTea and also the Tea Secret that I would like to recommend in this blog post. Tea Secret was originated from Malaysia and also from Penang. I am proud to say it was started up by my secondary school senior who aged only 23 years old.

Tea Secret was opened in Queensbay Mall about half a year ago. It is a kiosk outlet which located at the Lower Ground Floor near the basement car park entrance. The Tea Secret outlet was located near Jusco supermarket and also several food outlets such as Kenny Rogers Roaster, Bread History.

Roasted Milk Tea Brothers

Grass Jelly Roasted Milk Tea

On the 15th May, I was there with my friend to take my first try there. There was so cool because that day was 15th and every month 15th there will have Buy 1 Free 1 Promo for whole day long! We bought one Large Roasted Milk Tea Brothers which inside the drink contained of Pearl, Grass Jelly and Pudding. We got a free Large Grass Jelly Roasted Milk Tea! Quite worth while you bought the drinks there!

Yes they have some unique drinks like the new launched red bean smoothies series which can't be found in Chatime. Their fruit teas seems to be so attractive and nice, I might go to have a try in the future then! If you go on 15th every month, there have a promo of Buy 1 Free 1! Really worth it and it's a good attitude from the boss to rewards their customer frequently.

Overall there are variety of drinks that you can try besides Chatime. I believe it can be expanding soon to the nationwide Malaysia. As now it only located at local which in Penang and the only outlet in Queensbay Mall. The teas there were nice and unique as I can rate it as 7/10. You can take a try there! =) Posted by GenYong 06.06.2012

Moo Cow Frozen Yogurt

Nowadays Malaysians are getting crazy about the desserts from Taiwan or anywhere else. This year I can say the food trend were leading by the bubble teas or frozen yogurt. More and more frozen yogurt stores opening in nationwide! Mostly was started in KL and keep on spreading the outlets to Penang, Ipoh or Johor Bahru!

Moo Cow Frozen Yogurt was founded from Malaysia I think! Hmm... It was like Tutti Frutti, Kiwi Berry or Fruuze which served the customer frozen yogurt. Frozen Yogurt is now a trend of having healthy desserts compare to tea or coffee. It was made up from the fruit yogurt and it taste nice which frozen with the ice, just like ice cream!

The interior design of the shop was so unique and nice! It was like staying at the farm. Even the tables and chairs are also designed from the concept of farm cow! The whole shop mostly designed with the brown wood and match with the unique lighting! They used the cute farming pictures as the background in shop so I can say that this shop design concept can be compared with Charlie Brown's Cafe which located in Straits Quay!

 

I feel that the frozen yogurt in Moo Cow is more worth compare to Kiwi Berry or Tutti Frutti. Since the price of having a standard size of frozen yogurt had fixed at RM 9.90 / RM 10.90, if you add any topping just have to top up RM 1.00 for each topping. It doesn't depend on weighing and the toppings that they served were quite a lot and tasty!

I was there having some cam whoring photos as requested by my friends. I feel quite weird and funny when taking those photos! I was like the desserts recommend person recently. I had introduced Kiwi Berry, Chatime, La Kaffa, 6Celcious and yet so far in my previous blog post! So now this is Moo Cow's turn! xD I didn't consider any earnings from there, just like volunteer helping only!

We were having some chit chat there while enjoying the frozen yogurt! Some of my friends were doing some funny action in the shop and captured some photos as the souvenir! Cool. Lastly we had the group photos together before we leave the shop! Moo Cow I like it...

Yes it's Moo Cow. There are some description about Moo Cow and how frozen yogurt develop in our country Malaysia! Moo Cow had developed well in Malaysia as now they already have the 10 outlets in KL and Penang, I believe soon they will spread out until nationwide in Malaysia! Moo Cow, the better frozen yogurt in town! Do you like it?
