Do you know humans tend to head to North when they are lost? So, you should head to The North Cafe when you are feeling lost in deciding where to go for your brunch, lunch, tea time or dinner or simply spending time in an aesthetically pleasant cafe! This all-rounded Penang cafe is in the heart Georgetown and it’s definitely one of the places that will please your eyes and your stomach!
After deciding to head to The North Cafe, the next question will be what you should order from the menu (p/s: you should check out their Instagram to check out the team’s latest innovation or creation).
What’s brunch without a huge wooden platter of food to satisfy the hunger?! Look for the The North Brekkie which consists of a huge variety of ingredients such as the well-cooked scrambled egg which will melt in your mouth paired with golden hashbrowns and sauteed mushrooms and not forgetting, slices of hams with chicken sausage! Such pairings are to die for!
You will not miss the classic brunch dish which is the Egg Benedict on the The North Cafe’s Menu! With the perfectly cooked poach egg stacked on a evenly spread avocado stacked on a thick slice of chicken ham and on a huge slice of sourdough bread, it’s definitely one of the best dishes that the North Cafe has to offer. There is nothing more to say about such a balanced dish.
North Cafe getting inspiration from the Thai Cuisine has developed one of their signature dish; Grilled Chicken with Tomyam Gravy. With the nicely grilled tendered chicken, the tomyam gravy poured over the Chicken is set to blow your mind with amazing flavours that you never expect! To be honest, this dish was one of our favourites as the distinct taste was something special. Don’t forget to order this dish when you are over at The North Cafe.
In the mood for carbohydrates yet looking for a balanced meal? The North Cafe will bring you over to the eastern side of the world by serving you their Unagi Don.
The fresh grilled teriyaki Unagi was placed on a fluffy omelette enveloping a generous amount of rice will definitely satisfy your craving for a wholesome bowl of rice while getting all the nutrients and protein! Just for your information, this dish were our personal favourite as well!
We, humans have one stomach specially reserved for desserts! The North Cafe is one of the cafes in Penang which offers freshly baked Dacquoises!
You might wonder what is a Dacquoise? Dacquoise is a dessert made from layers of meringue containing ground nuts, with fillings such as cream, buttercream, or ganache between. We tasted two flavours which are special and bound to bring your palates for a ride.
Lychee Earl Grey Dacquoise
Who would ever knew that Lychee and Earl Grey Tea will be a great match together! The taste of this Dacquoise will refresh your palette after all the heavy main courses and it will keep you wanting more.
Coconut Matcha Dacquoise
The team at The North Cafe surprised us with this pairing where this Dacquoise honestly tasted so foreign yet pleasant at the same time. The taste of this Dacquoise was new and refreshing. If you cannot try all the flavours they have to offer, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY TRY THIS FLAVOUR as the subtle hint of matcha blends well with the coconut extract!
The North Cafe do not stop only at Dacquoise. They also serve various crepe cakes with various flavours. Looking for something salty yet sweet at the same time?! The Salted Hazelnut Mille Crepe is your answer!
This flavour will definitely satisfy your needs as the cream lined in between of layers of the crepes is just-nice and light weighted where you will not feel too guilty if you devoured the whole slice by yourself!
You know what sets The North Cafe apart from the other cafes in Penang? It’s the different concoction of espresso-based drinks which you should try when you are over at The North Cafe. With many years of experience in the coffee industry, the team at The North Cafe created many special concoctions (which we wished we could have tried all of them), we tried three different special drinks of their menu.
Dirty Matcha
We always see Cafe offering Dirty Latte and we might wonder is there a matcha version. With a subtle flavour of coffee and the lightly sweetened matcha paired together with milk, North Cafe offers a nicely made Dirty Matcha which are bound to keep you wanting more after taking the first sip.
The Queen (A Barista Special)
Trust us when we say you don’t know what’s coming for you if you ordered this Barista Special. Wondering why it’s called the Queen? This drink is named after the fruit “Mangosteen” as the mangosteen extracts is used in this drink. Imagine a cup of Iced Americano that ends with a refreshing yet sweet ending, that’s what The Queen has to offer you.
Salted Vienna Coffee (A Barista Special)
Maybe you feel like you want a change to your everyday coffee preference! This drink is THAT change for you. This cup of coffee will bring your palates on an adventure with the spices incorporated in the drink mixed together with the freshly brewed espresso and topped with whipped cream! You definitely will not regret if you ever ordered this drink.
