Eyescream. — Restaurant in George Town

A nice and air-conditioned place for having ice-cream and drink. Tried the Charcoal Ice Cream, the taste is like the average Nestle vanilla ice cream box that you buy for RM9.90 at any supermarkets. No charcoal taste at all, and the ice cream is quite watery compared to other cafe-standard ice creams. Totally not worth the price.

It's creamy and coconut taste is 60%. It's my individual findings. Ice blended is fine. In all, I enjoyed it on a hot...

Nestled along the nostalgic street of Lebuh Keng Kwee, I found myself drifting into a pocket of time at Lariza, where the hum of Penang fades just enough for reflection.

The chocolate? A soft-spoken indulgence. Velvet on the tongue, not too sweet, but full of intent—like a brushstroke deliberately placed on canvas. There was something artful about how it lingered, as if reminding me to slow down.

And so I did.

In a world of fast sips and faster days, this place and these two drinks gave me a pause. A beautiful,...
