What We Had at 2 Acres Cafe Penang
This time, we ordered Hojicha Berries (RM15) and White Coffee with Extra Shot (RM14) at 2 Acres Cafe. Both drinks have been fairly good. The espresso got here with a latte artwork and had a pleasant fragrant bitter afternote, although a little bit acidic. On the opposite hand, the workers requested us if we had Hojicha earlier than once we ordered the Hojicha Berries. This is as a result of some prospects had complained about its style earlier than. But for us, the Hojicha Berries was simply the way it ought to style – gentle hojicha with a not-too-sweet berries smoothie. Another glorious beverage at 2 Acres Cafe.
Then, got here the suggestion of the yr from Kate.
She requested whether or not we should always check out the durian at 2 Acres Cafe. There was afterall a small little stall set as much as promote fruits direct from the plantation. We noticed some durians and thought it might a wonderful alternative to check out durian contemporary from the plantation…
As it was the low season, we needed to deal with comparatively costly durians. Uncle quoted us RM55/kg and we thought it was fairly costly however we persevered and have been handsomely rewarded…
As you may see from the colors, it was an glorious musang king direct from the plantation. In reality, the uncle opened the primary one and thought that it was not ok and positioned it apart earlier than opening the second and final durian for us. Turns out it was a wonderful musang king durian. The outer layer is a vibrant yellow and when touched, turns wrinkly – a signature of musang king. The flesh itself was wealthy and creamy with a slight bitterness on style. There was additionally an distinctive perfume that we don’t normally style with musang king in Singapore. The seeds have been actually small which meant that there was a number of wealthy, creamy flesh which we loved whereas overlooking the pond inside the premise of two Acres Cafe Penang. Yes, we discovered from the uncle that we might benefit from the durian indoors on the second degree of two Acres Cafe (however not on the first degree).
After reluctantly ending our durian (and licking each final morsel off of our fingers), we headed open air to get pleasure from a brief stroll round its premise. We walked down the spiral stairs and loved a while on the swings earlier than strolling across the pond.
