Winter Warmers at QBM

I've walked past Winter Warmers at Gurney Plaza many times throughout my 2 years in Penang but I've never tried it. Once, we almost went in but the menu looks very "snack-like" with light meals like sandwiches and salads so being the greedy pigs that we are, we did not try it.lol

But 1 or 2 months back, Winter Warmers opened its door at Queensbay Mall! Now that's a different story...

Queensbay Mall is my regular haunt, on average I go there at least 3 times a week. hahaha! So finally I had the opportunity to try out Winter Warmers at QBM. I ordered the pasta set which comes with an appetizer (salad) + one pasta dish + a pot of black/green tea for RM16.90

 

This is my salad...nothing much to shout about though adding raisins to the salad do add a nice,sweet twist to the greens.


And this is the pasta I ordered. You have a choice of chicken spaghetti or fettucini carbonara. To be very honest, I make better tasting carbonara...hahahaah!

I know it sounds like i'm bragging but the carbonara here is really not the best thing they can cook. I really don't like carbonara sauce that has a heavy taste of milk and pepper. And from the texture of the sauce, I know for a fact they used a lot of flour to make it creamy instead of using cream like they should.


Oh well...


This is my drink...the ice blended green tea. If you are having the set, adding on another RM1 will enable you to upgrade to ANY drink from the menu! Isn't that great???

I think the original price for this is RM7.90


They really have a wide variety of tea and coffee based drinks in their menu. I am pretty impressed and very interested. And adding on their british-style interior and pretty cups and mugs...i would definitely go there for a drink or two. Like this rose ice blended latte for instance...

With a tiny rose bud on top and 3 colored concoction inside the tall glass...it looks so pweettyy =)

This is the honey oat chicken which came highly recommended from my colleague but I did not get a chance to try it come to think of it...hmmm

And this is the fruity chicken...

Oh yeah...i have forgotten about my dessert. The set meal came with dessert in the form of this honeydew pudding

The very next day, I went back there again with my bf...hahaha! I told you i fell in love with their beverages and wanted to try some more........

This time, i went for their irish cream coffee

I was hoping to find the drink laced with a dose of irish cream liqueur but alas I guess Winter Warmers is a kid-friendly cafe...*snigger* Instead I find it to taste more caramel than irish cream. But still a warm,hearty drink btw at RM7.90


The "old man" I went with ordered a pot of rose tea. It just spells G-A-Y in big bold capital letters :D

And we also had this plate of hawaiian chicken ham and cheese sandwiches

There were ham and cheese (obviously) and pineapple inside each slice 
One thing i liked, the cheese they used is not your average cheese slice...instead they used melted mozzarella cheese...yums!


Winter Warmers, definitely a place i'd visit again and again :)
