siTigun @ Jalan Nagore

After eating at PikNik (from earlier post here), we headed across to siTigun for some coffee. Neither of us have been there and so this was a rare but good opportunity to try-out the cafès along Nagore Road.

Micro coffee roastery, as the canopy says... As we wee walking in, the aroma from the coffee was evident in the air. Ahh... smell of fresh coffee always makes me feel right at home.

The place was decorated with many pieces reminding you of the good old days. A special mention should be worthy of a bicycle which is hung at the back of the shop, just next to the coffee counter. Super cool! The other paraphernalia that they had adorning the cafe was this huge 'wau' or traditional kite (as in pic)
As we were already full from the previous cafe, we only had drinks and dessert here.
I ordered their siTigun regular coffee and my other friend ordered a cuppa hot capucino.

I have a video of my drink, which I will include later once i've figured out how to block off the sound.

Anyway, we also ordered a slice of apple pie (RM14. something - if i remembe correctly)
It came with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream.

They also serve tiramisu by the way and alot of other cakes too

I gather that this place mainly caters to tourist and young yuppies of Penang, i suppose, as the prices are quite alot for coffe and pie... oh well... perhaps this is the going rate for tourist? or I'm just too trifty?

Piknik @ Nagore Road



I have read about this cafe a few times before and had always wanted to visit this small niche situated along Nagore Rd, Penang. It has opened its doors in one of Penang's heritage buildings (not too sure about the heritage status) ~ point being that the row of now-converted-shops were once a row of town-houses. My grand relatives used to stay in one of these houses a very very long time ago.

 Being in the blogsphere of FOOD and nothing but Food, in Penang, word comes around and goes around about new and up-coming cafes. Piknik was one of the cafes much talked about especially their famous waffles.

 We visited this place after work. It was on the 12th Oct. Yes, I still remember... the moment we all stepped-in, we were greeted by colourful ceiling lights and super comfortable sofa just beside the window.
 

I ordered the smoked salmon waffle and my friend ordered fried rice.

 The salmon was rather a very thin abeit small piece covering a layer of scrambled eggs, sitting together on a piece of waffle. The piece was quite alot for something of this portion. I was abit let-down. 

My friend's fried rice looked pretty simple with a sunny-side up. She wasn't too excited about her plate either. Sigh.
 

But the good news is, this place has cool decor! It has combined creative art with the vintage look to give it a pleasant feel. Kudos on the lights! I must say, using plastic baskets as lamp shades was a great idea! How inspiring...

I suppose the food from the menu selection could taste better, I just hadn't tried the rest yet.
Maybe i'd find something i'd like more... the waffles were ok... nothing to crow about though
