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。

Hong Kong 8am (港室八点钟) @ Lorong Macalister, Penang

Hong Kong-style Cha Chan Teng (restaurant) is no stranger to Penangites because there are already many restaurants with the same concept available in town... Hong Kong 8am is one of those. It's the Hong Kong-style restaurant located at Hutton Lane since June 2017. The design of the shop is relatively simple... there is only a large picture of Hong Kong's street on the wall. Space and seating are limited too. For the menu, although I thought that the price is wallet-friendly but the choices are limited. There are only Egg Tarts, Polo Bun, Pork Bun and Noodles with a variety of dishes.
