Kaffa Espresso Bar, Green Hall

Located at the Green Hall Road (just opposite SEGI College, Penang) or somewhere around Dewan Sri Pinang Hall, there is a newly opened Espresso Bar - specializing in serving freshly brew coffee. Since the official opening back in 23rd August 2013, Kaffa Espresso Bar has already been a favorite place for coffee lovers and a place for gathering among friends.

Good Coffee Here by Kaffa Espresso Bar

Good Coffee Here. Yes, I agree. But, something to clarify. There is a Kaffa Restaurant in the town too which is serving mainly on Western Food, so do not get confused over that Kaffa and this Kaffa Espresso Bar.


The Beatles is rocking in the coffee bar

Once you are in the Kaffa Espresson Bar, you will be greeted by a gigantic 'The Beatles' mural painting at the main hall of the cafe. Mural paintings have been very popular among Penangnites since the past one year and I bet most of the cafes are now having such to be part of the trendy line towards Penang.

Preparing Salted Caramel Machiato

He is one of the friendly staff over there. Unfortunately, I forget to get to know his name. Too bad but you will definitely see him there busy preparing each cup of coffee especially Salted Caramel Machiato. He loves recommending the top seller Salted Caramel Machiato which made us ordered that too that evening.

Rooftop Espresso Bar

Kaffa Espresso Bar provides rooftop bar for those prefer non-air conditioned seating space. Perfect for the couples who loves seeing stars on the clear dark sky while sipping their warm coffee.

Downstairs Area

The weather was hot the other day, so as usual, I opt for the downstairs area - air-conditioned area. No worry for the space around, they have plenty of tables and seating.

Salted Caramel Machiato and Hot Chocolate

Do not expect so much on the hot chocolate. But, it's definitely a not bad type for a chocolate. I like it personally because it is not too sweet. I am not so into coffee, but, it is a mix between the bitter and slight sweetness in it. Plus, the texture of the coffee is smooth, so good recommendation for that.

Fooyo Fresh Fruity Dessert, Prangin Mall

We have this something quite special compared to the normal ice cream yogurt found commonly in Penang - fry ice yogurt. There is a newly opened booth back in 31st May, 2013, in Ground Floor of Prangin Mall selling for its signature fry fresh fruity ice yogurt - from choosing the fresh fruits till frying its ice yogurt is all made upon order.

Thumbs up for fry ice yogurt but average to their waffle - not my liking because the waffle is too thick
Service - 7/10
Acceptable 
Price - 8/10
Affordable. Fry ice yogurt costs at RM8.90 with reasonable serving
Location - 10/10
Located in Prangin Mall. Easily located and of course with plenty of car parks


Fooyo Fresh Fruity Dessert


Booth patronizing by many fry ice yogurt fans - I am one of them. Also, one thing in common - we all go for its fry ice yogurt - fresh fruity dessert.
Waiting for their Fry Ice Yogurt

That is how they make the Fry Ice Yogurt. First, select the fruits - dragon fruit. Then, chop & mix with the yogurt. Spread the mixture wide on the pan - it's cool and scrap it slice by slice and ready to be served. Looks simple but, if you witness the whole process, the guys who chop it must really have good stamina - not an easy job for whole day long.
How to Make Fry Ice Yogurt?


Fry Ice Yogurt - Dragon Fruit - taste perfectly with some mixture of sweet and sour taste. Cheers you up when you have a downy day.

Fry Ice Yogurt - Vanilla - taste all sweet and perfectly suitable for those who prefers only sweet taste.

It could be better if the waffle is not so thick. Overall, it tastes OK!
