105c Coffeehaus @ Jalan Pintu Sepuluh, Alor Setar

Located in Jalan Pintu Sepuluh,105c Coffeehaus is one of the latest spots to chill out in Alor Setar. 105c Coffeehaus stands out as compared to other restaurants and cafes due to its striking modern red-brick double-storey building, spacious environment, and relaxed vibe. It's easy to locate this place, just drive along the main road of Jalan Pintu Sepuluh and you will find this place right next to Starcity Hotel. Food-wise, they offer a variety of Western foods with desserts and gelato. Probably due to the first few days' jitters, the service quality is below par and has room for improvements.

Sulb Cafe @ Simpang Kuala, Alor Setar, Kedah

Sulb opened its doors on the easy-to-remember date of 3 March 2022, has quickly risen through the ranks, and appeared as one of the most popular cafes in Alor Setar. The cafe adopts minimalist interior decor in shades of grey and white, with pebble stone flooring, polished cement seats, and tall trees to make the space even more charming and comfy. It makes me feel that I've returned to one of the popular cafes in Penang - Norm Micro. The foods offered here are quite attractive as those foods are rare to be seen in Alor Setar. Such as Egg Benedict, Croque Madame, Turkish Egg, Beef Quesadillas, Wiener Schnitzel, Chicken Cacciatore, and so on. Prices may be on the high side and wait times will be longer but given the cozy atmosphere and attractive menu, the place is worth checking out.

Norm Micro Roastery @ Church Street Ghaut, Georgetown, Penang

I have seen many of its photos via online media about this new cafe Norm Micro Roastery in Penang and I was anticipating visiting. However, due to the flare-up of COVID-19, I've not gotten an opportunity to visit it until my outing to Penang before the Chinese New Year. Housed in what used to be once a shipping yard, the high ceilings, huge doors, and skylights allow a light and airy feel. The pebble stone flooring, curved polished cement seats, and tall trees make it even more attractive. The cafe is fully air-conditioned, so you may enjoy your meal and chill out here without worrying about the hot weather.

Cafe Atas @ Alor Setar, Kedah

Housed in the colorful building, Pekan Buah, Alor Setar, Atas Cafe is a relative newcomer withinside the neighborhood gelato scene. The cafe is facing the parking lot behind Balai Seni Alor Setar.

You can simply get a beautiful and instagrammable photo at every corner here.

Taiwan Famous Taro Cheesecake by Summer Dessert Bakery @ Alor Sear, Kedah [GPS]

The return of the food blogger... Haha! It's like finally, a new post after 4 months due to a lot of issues, study, exam, last semester, Covid19, and also Movement Control Order (MCO). Back to the topic, I was so surprised and excited that I found this in Summer Dessert Bakery, Alor Setar during MCO. I've been waiting so long for its arrival since the first time I saw it on the Summer Dessert Bakery Facebook official account. It's not anything new in Summer Dessert Bakery but I'm not sure the reason why it's not introducing in Alor Setar's store.

Hat Yai Hipster Cafe: Samo Coffeebar @ Hat Yai, Thailand [GPS]

Hat Yai, a district located in Southern Thailand. Albeit it's not a bustling city like Bangkok and used to be a not well-developed city in the mind of the tourists, but over the years, there's a lot of changes in the city. Particularly, I noticed that the coffee culture has grown a lot in Hat Yai during my few recent trips to Hat Yai. I found that there are many hipster cafes available in the city now... the number of the cafe is even more than my hometown, Alor Setar.

合艾，位于泰国南部的地区。 尽管它不是像曼谷这样繁华，在游客心里也曾经不是一个发达的城市，但是这城市在多年以来发生了很多变化。 特别是在我最近去合艾的几次旅行中，我注意到合艾的咖啡文化发展了很多… 咖啡馆的数量甚至超过了我的家乡亚罗士打。

Summer Dessert Bakery Cafe @ Alor Setar, Kedah [GPS]

Summer Dessert Bakery which is a Penang based bakery had finally opened its first in Alor Setar today (01 October 2019), which named Summer Dessert Bakery Cafe. What I like about this Summer Dessert Bakery Cafe is that it’s the one-stop cafe where you could get almost anything from freshly baked bread to cake, sandwich, pastry, dessert, pie, coffee, breakfast, lunch, and dinner under one roof. It's also one of my favourite bakeries in Penang because of its wide variety of choices and its strategic location.

位于槟城的Summer Dessert Bakery面包店终于在今天（2019年10月1日）在亚罗士打开设了第一家店，名为Summer Dessert Bakery Cafe。 我喜欢Summer Dessert Bakery Cafe，因为它是一家一站式的咖啡馆，一应俱全。从新鲜出炉的面包到蛋糕，三明治，糕点，甜点，派，咖啡，早餐，午餐和晚餐等。它也是我在槟城最爱的面包店之一，因为它的选择范围很广，地理位置优越。

Housed in an old heritage house at Lebuh Melayu in Penang, Chao Xuan (潮轩) is a Chinese restaurant that specialises in Teo Chew delights. Albeit Penang has many Chinese restaurants in town but Teo Chew delights or snacks seems to be scarce as compared to other Chinese foods. Chao Xuan has the strong element of Chinese traditional design... the entrance is made by the traditional Chinese red wooden door, while the interior is stuffed with the wooden furniture and some traditional Chinese decors.

潮轩坐落在一座古老的遗产屋内, 是位于槟城Lebuh Melayu一家专门提供潮州美食的中餐厅。虽然槟城有许多中餐厅，但与其他中餐厅相比，潮州美食或小吃似乎很少。潮轩具有强大的中国传统设计元素... 入口由传统的中国红木门制成，内部则由木制家具和一些传统的中国饰品装饰而成。

Instea uses the warmth and comforting ambiance to encourage openness and connectivity between people by providing a noble and elegant space with the gold and white marble theme apart from its handcrafted fine drinks.

Instea，一家于2019年5月16日在槟城岛新开业的时髦茶/咖啡吧，坐落在槟城繁华的Macalister路，Tropicana 218 Macalister的建筑里。（对于那些住在槟岛的人来说，这是一个好消息，因为他们不需再故意前往Bukit Mertajam了。）除了手工制作的精美饮品外，Instea利用金色和白色大理石主题营造高贵典雅的空间，带给顾客温暖和舒适的氛围来鼓励人与人之间的连接。

[Updated] Hidden Gem in Langkawi: Smiling Buffalo Cafe @ Kuala Cenang, Langkawi [GPS]

Smiling Buffalo Cafe is a hidden gem, among the lush greeneries and serene environment. It's a jungle-like rustic laid-back cafe located at Panji Panji Boutique Resort at Kuala Cenang; tucked away from the bursting main streets and tourist spots... it would be quite difficult to find for the non-locals. Albeit it's quite near to the hustle Cenang Beach, but both places have totally the different ambiance. At here, you can literally hear the birds with the soft breeze on your face, and the smell of fresh air, soil, and greens. For the city dweller like me, I'm really fascinated by this peacefulness and relaxed vibe brought by mother nature. Hence, I'll definitely pay a visit during my holiday in Langkawi. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's the best restaurant in town.

Smiling Buffalo Cafe是一个在郁郁葱葱的绿色和宁静的环境中隐蔽的咖啡馆。 这是一个丛林般的乡村悠闲咖啡馆，位于Kuala Cenang的Panji Panji Boutique Resort; 远离繁忙的主要街道和旅游景点...非本地人很难找到。 虽然它离喧嚣的Cenang海滩很近，但两个地方有完全不同的氛围。 在这里，你可以享受新鲜的空气，迎面而来的微风，也能听到悦耳的鸟叫声。 对于像我这样的城市居民来说，我真的被大自然带来的宁静和轻松的氛围所吸引。 因此，每当我在兰卡威度假期间必会来拜访。 可以毫不夸张地说，这是镇上最好的咖啡馆。
