Chai Diam Ma, Penang.

Right. Chai Diam Ma means "grocery store" in Hokkien. Well, being a Penangite, I haven't been to this place yet. I love places like this. Very unique and hard to find. I like things done with simplicity yet creatively. Let me show you what I'm trying to say. Yes! Today, I manage to experiment with my Bobbi Brown Cosmetics! Loving it to bits!

Smile 1 and 2.

It's quite hard finding the place though. So many alleys here and there. Thank god I have an all-planned hubby who googled the place so we don't get lost! I was so excited cause a lot of people have been posting pictures about Chai Diam Ma cafe in Penang that really caught my attention. The place is actually a mix of a cafe and a gallery by local artist.

Some people might feel it's old, dirty and about to crack but for me it's ART. Be inspired!

As for the food, well, we didn't have many choice. Just 3 options to choose from. Too Bad. Oh well, we made our orders anyway. The food tasted O.K to me. Just nice. But somehow, hubby thinks that Anabelle's Place is way better.

Mine. Udon mee + with bacon + chicken. RM14.

Love's. Baked Macaroni with Bacon and Mushroom. RM 14.

Love this shot!

Anyways, if you are a person who loves to try something new, Then you should visit the place. It gives an olden days vibe if you know what I mean.

Give it a try! Support local artists! :
