The Alley

The Alley

一间以小巷为主题的cafe
一直都有听闻这间cafe
却一直没机会拜访
今天又是一次难得的部落客聚会
而我终于带着我的D仔踏入The Alley













第一眼看到The Alley的时候
心中的疑问是...
这真的是The Alley吗？
怎么招牌是吉祥香莊？

















原来这里面有着很多的故事...
起因为这家店是租来的
为了保持原样
店主不愿把招牌拆下来
The Alley的负责人在没办法的情况下只好妥协了
不过好在顾客们都很接受这个老招牌
所以那就维持这个老招牌吧~
大家可要认好这个店面哦~

一张让我摸不着头脑的图~忘了问老板~
谁可以帮忙解答？

我很喜欢那个用杯子设计的墙

食物Food

先来看看餐牌...

热饮餐牌
各式各样的热饮
其中招牌热饮为Cappucino
另外特别的是不同的饮料
将放在不同的杯子来呈现
保证让你的眼睛不会厌倦

冷饮餐牌
除了常见的咖啡与巧克力
还有特别的Macho Mango & Pinky Guava

甜点餐牌
The Alley主打的是Cronut & Churros~
一定要试！

卖点1：Cronut

Cronut这个名词我还是第一次听到呢

经负责人的解释下才了解cronut是由

Croissant加上Donut而形成的一个新词

Cronut的发源地是纽约市的一间面包店

当时可是招成当地非常的轰动

也掀起了一股热潮

此外Time Magazine也为Cronut

标上2013年25个最佳发明的面包之一呢~

听到这里是不是很想一试呢~

Cronut (Nutella)
由于Cronut是由croissant演变而来
所以它的口感不会像Donut那么的扎实
会比较蓬松
吃起来层次感也比较丰富
搭配上nutella真的很好吃

Salted Caramel Cronut [RM8]

原本是salted caramel cronut搭配上花生的
可惜的是无法尝到完整版的Cronut
我相信多了那些Nuts
整个甜点无论是在卖相或是口感上都会更吸引人
但由于厨师休假的关系
所以没办法只好换上Oreo碎
但是却觉得Oreo碎的味道有点盖过salted caramel的味道
有机会我一定要再回来试试原版的味道~

贴心的为顾客准备的白开水
装在设计过的瓶子里
喝起来都比较有feel
哈哈~

卖点2：Churros

Churros是西班牙式的Donut

外形有别于传统圆形的Donut

Churros是长条形的Donut

总共有五种Dip可以选择：
Salted Caramel
Caramel
Cinnamon Sugar
Chocolate
Nutella

Churros with Dip (Small - 4pcs with 1 Dip)
[RM6]
[推荐！]
个人最惊叹的是从炸好到摆上桌上
再加上我们拍了至少十五分钟
但它的外皮依然很香脆
里面松松软软
吃起来还真有点像中式的油条
但是口感就比较细致得多了

小小的提示：
可以把它浸泡在咖啡里
然后再来享受带有点咖啡的Churros~

两种不一样的佐料：
Nutella & Caramel

Churros with Dip (Big - 6pcs with 2 Dips)
[RM9]
[推荐！！]

Chai Cheese Cake[RM10]
[推荐！！]
Chai是由红茶混合印度香料而混搭而成的
整体的味道很特别
Chai加上Cheese好像起了很特别的化学作用
让原本很快让人吃腻的Cheese cake变得吃起来不会那么腻
可是不是每个人都能接受Chai的味道哦~

Strawberry Orange Cheese cake
with Home-made Mashmallow
[RM10]
[特别！！]

第一口真的会让人觉得很特别
会让人不知觉地向吃上第二口
因为这样的搭配很新鲜
再搭配上自制不是很甜的mashmallow
让人耳目一新
唯一的弱点是Mashmallow有点太软
如果可以在吃前用火烤一烤Mashmallow
让mashmallow多一份焦甜的味道
这样这道cheese cake我应该会给更多的赞！！
哈哈~

Lemon Cheese Cake [RM10]

我最爱的lemon cheese cake
个人觉得lemon跟cheese cake是最佳拍档
Lemon和Cheese的分量拿捏得很好
不会有任何一方太过强戏
好吃！

Black & White [RM10]

白巧克力搭配上巧克力粒的Cheese cake~
喜欢巧克力的人应该会喜欢~

Cappucino [RM9]

有试过卡布奇诺搭配上贡糖吗？
我只用了Churros浸泡了一点来品尝这杯卡布奇诺
虽然只是一小口
但是我可以肯定
它比我之前喝过很多Cafe的卡布奇诺来的好喝~
下次还会要试喝整杯看看~

Mocha[RM11]

Dirty Chai [Secret Drink]

这杯Dirty Chai是在餐牌上找不到的秘密饮品哦~
Espresso搭配上Chai和一点点Cinnamon
喝起来有很丰富的层次感
一口下去会觉得就是咖啡味
可是最后保留在口腔的会是带有香料味的咖啡味
个人觉得是很棒的一杯咖啡！

Pinky Guava Frappe [RM13]

Pinky这个单字就足够吸引女性们吧~
会觉得酸梅好像有点喧宾夺主了~

Macho Mango Frappe [RM13]

Iced Chocolate [RM11]

Choc Mint Frappe [RM13]

Choc Oreo Frappe [RM13]

特色

1. 一把Marker Pen的Design...一幅资讯丰富的图,包含的有店名、地点、餐牌、卖点、Wifi password、等等...欣赏店主的才华和创意...

接由厕所来教育大家一杯咖啡的由来
连厕所都可以联想到这样的Design
厉害~

2. 咖啡馆里也有让本地设计师寄卖自创品牌（Pestle & Mortar)的服饰、包包与帽子哦~借此鼓励大家多多支持本地的设计师...

3. 废物在循环，不浪费~

看着这个墙壁的设计
怎样都想不到那只是废物再循环用吧~
其实墙上的三个圆圈是桌子的板
但由于桌子坏了
所以老板们也不浪费地把它们当着饰品一样
点缀着咖啡馆的某一面墙

总结Conclusion

爱玉冰 Aiyu Jelly

这个van仔档我想介绍很久了...

终于有这个时间来分享了～

It has been a long while that I would like to introduce this stall
and finally I am free to blog and share this...

一个卖各式糖水和经济小吃的档口
它是坐落在Jalan Helang (Opposite Tesco Extra Sungai Dua),
Desa Permai Indah (Hamna) 外面的一排店屋
跟我上一次介绍的nasi lemak van仔档是同一条街～

我只能用“麻雀虽小，五脏俱全”来形容这个档口...
简简单单的设备，卖的食物却超多样化...
特别适合吃下午茶的地方
谁说下午茶一定要到高级的咖啡馆喝的啊？！
这样路边摊的下午茶也很有一番风味哦～

It is a roadside stall that sells variety types of foods and desserts...
It's located at Jalan Helang, opposite Tesco Extra Sungai Dua
next to Desa Pemai Indah (Hamna)'s shoplot...
It's just a stone throw away from the Nasi Lemak I shared a few weeks ago...

食物

先来看看Menu吧～
经济面、米粉、河粉、菜糕、芋头糕、糯米饭、
红豆汤、莫莫查查、花生汤、黑糯米、绿豆、番薯汤、等等
价钱很合理哦，典型的经济餐...

Take a look at the Menu first...
Char bi Hun, Hor Fun, Cai Kui, Spring Roll, Nasi Pulut,
Red bean, Bubur caca, kacang soup, pulut Hitam, Bubur kacang, gandum, etc...
The price is very reasonable and economical...

餐牌Menu

个人认为这里最出名的应该是她们的豆水和爱玉冰...

第一次喝这里的爱玉冰，我就爱上了！

可能是我比较喜欢重口味的吧～

所以个人觉得这里的爱玉冰比姓周桥附近出名的爱玉冰更好喝...

要知道特别是在炎热的下午

来上一碗柠檬味比较重的爱玉冰

不止可以刺激味蕾

还可以解渴呢～

所以我可说是这里的常客啦～

Personally think that the most famous food here will be Soya Bean and Aiyu Jelly...

I had already fell for it for the very first time I drank this Aiyu Jelly, 

For me, this Aiyu Jelly is much more better than the famous Aiyu Jelly near Chew Jetty...

Aiyu Jelly 爱玉冰【RM2.30]
酸味适中
绝对不会酸到难以下咽
大热天的下午
这会是最棒的dessert~

The aiyu jelly just match my taste buds perfectly
It's definitely the best desserts to drink
during the hot afternoon

Longan Beancurd 龙眼豆花【RM1.30】

Vege Char Hor Fun
素炒河粉
【RM2.20】
没有说到特别好吃
就普普通通的炒河粉
经济河粉啦～

It is just a normal plate of char hor fun
I will not say it is super delicious
Just Normal~

特色

1.开档的时间是跟着卖彩票的时间...就是说Toto、万字、大马彩有开卖，这个van仔档也开卖...

哈哈...好特别...所以她们只有星期三、六和日有开档，如果星期二有特别彩，她们也有开哦～

This stall will only be opened if the lottery shop is opened... so normally it will open on wednesday, saturday & sunday only... However, if there is special lottery day on Tuesday, this stall will open for extra one day on Tuesday... So special~ haha...

2.这家档口的后面就是Hamna的垃圾场...虽然不是很卫生，但是并没有抵挡客人们的光顾哦～

从开档到收档都是人潮不断的...生意很好～

The stall is located right behind Hamna's rubbish collection place... Although it sounds like a bit unhygienic, the location does not stop customers from visit this stall... There are lots of loyal customers and I am one of them...

葉面Yeap Noodles

就摆放在店的前面的Banner
我也是靠这个banner找到葉面的店

概念

葉面，这个名字的由来就是字面上的意思 

叶家做的面条，简称为叶面

坐落在Lebuh Chulia的叶面其实不难找

只要认着上面的banner你就很容易找到它...

一年前与朋友们到这里来寻找美食

一年后的今天我们还是会回到这里享受叶面

叶面就是有吸引人的魅力

最让我满意的是食物的质量

没有因为时间的流逝或名气的影响而下滑...

The origin of the name "Yeap Noodles" can be understood literally
which means noodles made from the "Yeap"
It is located at Lebuh Chulia
It wont be a hard task to find the shop
by recognizing the banner shown as above..
For me, I am most satisfied with the quality of the food...

食物 Food

个人对葉面的看法是

面条有别于一般面条
葉面缺少了弹性，但增添了多一份的滑顺...

无需多咬嚼面条自动的顺着食道滑下...
对于懒惰的我，
绝对喜欢这样的葉面...

葉面 总共有九种独家自创的口味

那就是原味、薄荷、黑胡椒、辣椒、麦片、

萝卜、苋菜、黄姜、和酱油味...

而每一种面都有独特的煮法...

顾客是不被允许随意搭配面条的种类和煮法...

因为老板娘已经搭配好由哪种煮法才能带出不同叶面的特色...

这也是叶面创始人对自创葉面的一种尊重、

也是对顾客的一种负责...

首先就先介绍目前本人心目中NO.1的葉面

麻辣哈喇葉面...

Personally think that Yeap Noodles is different from other normal noodles
It is less elastic but it is smoother than other noodles
There are nine flavors for Yeap Noodles which are
original, peppermint, black pepper, chili, cereal,
carrot, amaranth, ginger, soy sauce...
Each different flavor of noodles is paired up with different sauces
Customers are not allowed to pair the combination by themselves

Firstly, I wish to introduce the my favorite Yeap Noodles-Spicy Clam Yeap Noodles

麻辣哈喇葉面

Spicy clam yeap noodles
【RM5.50】
【推荐！】

麻辣哈喇葉面使用的可是辣椒葉面~
看到满满的哈喇(大约十个），
老板，你是不用本钱的厚~
浓郁的麻辣酱
裹上滑顺的葉面 
一口一口地送入嘴里
喜欢吃辣的朋友可以点这碗哦~ 
但是对于我这种超爱吃辣的食客来说
这碗面顶多是中小辣...
不过我还是很满意整体味道上的搭配

The founder use chili noodles for this spicy clam yeap noodles

Chili Yeap noodles wrapped with rich spicy sauces

It just tastes so nice to a spicy lover like me...

However, it is not that hot until 

I need to drink water to cool down my taste buds

But I am very satisfied with the overall taste

and the most important is I can enjoy 

around 10 clam with noodles

at this cheap price

一年后的今天
酱料依然浓郁
哈喇的分量依然很多
面条依然滑顺
只能说这家店的品质管理地很好

Even after one year from my first visit
the sauces is still rich
It is still comes with more than 10 clam in a dish
the noodles is still very smooth
In a nut shell, they have a good quality control in their food

酸甜鸡肉葉面 
Sweet & Sour chicken yeap noodles
【RM5.50】

酸甜鸡肉葉面使用的是萝卜葉面，
再搭配上微酸微甜的酱汁，
吃起来味道恰到好处...
虽然不是很吃得出萝卜的味道
但这道葉面还是特别的提味哦~ 

我的朋友还特别赞赏地说

这是她第一次吃到那么多料的面

单单鸡肉都有十片以上

超值得！

The sweet and sour Yeap noodles 
is using carrot noodles
Although I dint really can figure out the carrot noodles,
It tastes just right with the sweet & sour sauce
My friend appreciate so much for the 
plentiful ingredients in this dish
It has more or less 10 slice of chicken slices in the dish

黑胡椒猪肉葉面
Black pepper pork Yeap noodles 
【RM5.50】

黑胡椒猪肉葉面黑胡椒味十足，
但是黑胡椒味不会重到让人觉得很腻
同样的配料很丰富
青椒、红椒、和扎实的猪肉片
喜欢黑胡椒的朋友
可以点这碗黑胡椒葉面哦~

This dish has strong tastes of black pepper
However, the strong tastes won't let you feel tired of it

This dish is also accompanies with plentiful of ingredients

like paprika and well-cooked pork

As a black pepper lover,

I am very satisfied with this black pepper noodles 

薄荷鸡肉片葉面
Peppermint Yeap Noodles Soup with chicken slice
【RM5.50】

没机会品尝到
但它会是我下次再次到访的首选
好特别！

I didn't have a chance to try this on
However, this will be in my list for my next visit
It's too special to have peppermint noodles!

药材葉面
Yeap Noodles in Herbal Soup
【RM5.50】

药材汤葉面用的是麦片葉面，
药材味搭配得适中，不会太苦
搭配上麦香就真的很健康的感觉
喜欢药材汤的朋友不妨一试这种新颖的搭配

The noodles that used to pair up with
herbal soup is cereal Yeap Noodles
The combination of the herbs is just nice
and it will not give a very bitter taste...

For those herbal soup lovers,

you may have a try on this novel combination

洋参须茶
Ginseng Root Tea
【RM2.00】

洛神花
Rosella
【RM2.00】

Restaurant Terapung, Pulau Aman

Jeti Batu Musang

身处喧哗城市中的你，曾渴望享受宁静吗？

跟世界斗快而加快脚步的你，曾想过放慢脚步去享受世界吗？

工作沉闷了，生活无趣了...

我，向往乡下那纯朴的气息...

所以难得的假日，Pulau Aman，我来了！

Do you ever desire to enjoy tranquility rather than hubbub of the city?

Do you ever think about slowing down your pace to enjoy the world?

When the work bored you and life becomes boring,

I am longing to go to countryside and relax myself...

Yes, Here I am! Pulau Aman!!!

通往Pulau Aman的小码头
A small jetty which will lead you to Pulau Aman

Oya~ friendly boat driver~
ahaha~ It's Me!

我们都市人每天都是面对着高科技

然而乡下人简简单单面对着大自然

这种简单的幸福就是我们都市人体会不到的

一把鱼竿，一家子人，一个下午，

是一种幸福...

We enjoy high technologies everyday

while countryman enjoy nature

and we will never taste the joy of this simple life...

A rod, a family, an afternoon,

To them, This is a kind of happiness...

Pulau Aman的平面图
A Map of Pulau Aman

唯一可以带我们去Pulau Aman的是小快艇

速度非常的快，不到五分钟就把我们送到目的地

十点左右我们就抵达Pulau Aman了！

The only way to take us to Pulau Aman is a small speedboat...

It's speed is so fast that it put us to our destination within five minutes...

And we reached Pulau Aman around 10a.m.

Restaurant Terapung

其实享受乡下的环境还是次要的

我们这几个贪吃的家伙根本就是假借relax为由

实际上就是奔着新鲜的海鲜来的！

所以一到岛上第一个目的地就是朝这家Restaurant Terapung走去~嘻~

Actually enjoy the environment of the countryside is not that much important...

What we are aiming for is the fresh seafood on the island! Hahaha...

So, we head toward Restaurant Terapung without having a second thought...

渔船差不多早上十一点多才会到，

不过大家最好十点半就可以来霸位子了，

不然待会儿没位子坐哦~

我们刚到的时候他们只有大只得濑尿虾和螃蟹...

濑尿虾 [RM130/6pcs]

螃蟹 [RM50 or RM60 / 2 pcs]

六只濑尿虾要价一百三十好像有点贵了

没关系，我们等~

第一艘渔船来了，中等大小的濑尿虾便宜多了！

中等大小的濑尿虾 [RM60/10pcs]

他们会把虾放在桶里面

顾客要自个拿到餐厅里叫餐厅帮忙清蒸

清蒸一次Charge RM5而已哦~

Fishing boat will only be arrived around 11.00am.

Restaurant seats are limited...

Hence, for those who wish to enjoy the seafood, please reach the restaurant around 10.30am.

Before the fishing boat arrived, the only available seafood are big sized mantis prawn and crab...

For the big mantis prawn [RM130/6pcs]

For crab [RM50 or RM60/2pcs]

When the first fishing boat arrived, here comes the medium sized mantis prawn...

and the price is cheaper!

Medium Mantis Prawn [RM60/10pcs]

They will put the mantis prawn and others seafood inside a small barrel

The customers need to bring it to the restaurant and ask for the help to cook it...

The restaurant will charge RM5 for the steam service...

食物（Food）

等待海鲜的同时可以先尝尝这里的Mee Udang...

干的Mee Udang是这里远近驰名的食物之一

但是我们这群人倒是觉得汤的Mee Udang比较吸引我们

无论是味道或者是卖相都更胜一筹

While waiting for the fishing boat to arrive, you may have a try on the mee udang in the restaurant.

Dry Mee Udang is one of the famed food here

But we preferred Mee Udang with soup as compare to Dry Mee Udang 

虾面Mee Udang (Soup) - RM6 [推荐！]

这碗汤虾面看起来比较像平常mamak的干虾面
味道蛮特别的
汤头偏甜味
有别于一般辣味的汤头
虾也蛮新鲜的说~

This Mee Udang(soup) looks like dry mee udang in normal mamak stall
Unlike the normal mee udang soup, this soup is more towards sweet taste
There is no worry for those who can't stand the spicy taste
Besides, the shrimps are fresh!

干虾面Dry Mee Udang - RM6

感觉就是很普通的炒面
只是多了几只虾就变成了虾面
真的没什么特别之处
倒是很怀疑它为什么会出名~

It just look like and taste like normal Mee goreng
The only different is adding few shrimp and
it becomes the mee udang
I really wonder what make it one of the famous dishes here

新鲜、活泼乱跳的濑尿虾

Fresh Mantis Prawn

濑尿虾Mantis Prawn (Medium sized) - RM60/10 pcs
[推荐！]

个人觉得order这个size的濑尿虾是最值得的！
肉多，价钱又公道
而清蒸是最能带出濑尿虾鲜甜味道的煮法
无需任何的调味料
濑尿虾本身的味道就足够满足你的味蕾了

Personally think that ordering medium size of
Mantis Prawn is the most worthwhile
For me, Steamed Mantis Prawn is the best way
for us to enjoy the mantis prawn
Without any seasoning,
mantis prawn itself is more than enough
to satisfy our taste buds

椰水Coconut [RM4.50]

海中央的那所屋子是钓鱼爱好者聚集的地方
The House at the middle of the sea is the
fishing spot for those who likes fishing to gather together

渔船（Fishing Boat)

温馨提醒：

1. RM60的十只濑尿虾最值得，比RM130的六只濑尿虾小一点罢了，但是便宜很多...

2. 想吃多少就一次过买，因为老板不卖给同一个人第二次...

3. 记得带散钞，海鲜档的老板会突然要求只卖给能给准准卖价的人...

4. 别讨价还价，这里只有一间海鲜档，老板不开心了，你今天也白来了~

5. 十点半左右到这里最恰当，可以边吃虾面、边等渔船...

Friendly Reminder:

1. Medium size Mantis prawn (RM60/10pcs) is most worthwhile.

2. Buy the exact amount of seafood in one go, the seafood seller will not sell the seafood to the same person for the second time.

3. Remember to bring smaller notes as sometimes the seafood seller may only want to sell to those who have the exact amount of the selling price.

4. Don't bargain with the seafood seller. There is only one seafood stall in Pulau Aman and if the seller is unhappy with you, you wasted a day here.

5. Reach Pulau Aman around 10.30am is the best, you can taste their mee undang while waiting for the fishing boat to come. 

Jeti Batu Maung - Pulau Aman : 9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm, 7pm

Pulau Aman - Jeti Batu Maung : 8am, 10am, 12pm, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm

Public Holiday/Weekend: The speedboat departs as long as the boat is full(8am to 7pm)

假日/休息日：从早上八点到晚上七点都有船来回

Two way ticket双程票价 (Jeti Batu Maung-Pulau Aman-Jeti Batu Maung) : Adult大人 (RM6), Kids小孩 (RM4)

One way ticket 单程票价: RM4
