The cafe culture in Penang has evolved into another dimension. Other than delectable cuisine, Instagrammable photo spots and other excitable factors seem to be another heavyweight consideration when it comes to cafe choices. One of the cafe we have long known is Whisk, a partially "concealed" cafe located in Queen Street nearby to Little India. The cafe was so secluded and blended into the surrounding community that even passer-by might missed it out. However, Whisk is always pack with customers, thanks to a few vintage spots in the cafe that makes it a perfect spot for Instagram shots. They only serve desserts and a small drink menu.
We tried 2 of their cakes - Matcha Cheese (RM 14.90) and Blueberry Cheese Mousse (RM 14.90). These are some great choices we had. The cakes were dense, not too sweet and sleek in terms of texture. Another popular choice here appeared to be their Pavlova, as quite a number of visitors here ordered this sweet dessert.
Despite the cakes were great, the drink choice we had - Matcha (RM 13) was rather a bad choice. It tasted diluted and bear minimum Matcha taste. Service of the crew here needed some uplifting as well. The cafe took more than 15 minutes to get the cakes to our table and 30 minutes for the drink.
Check out the back side of the cafe (outside of toilet area) for some Instagram spots. The queue might be long here during peak hours.
