Time Out Cafe @ Stallions Apartment, Jelutong, Penang.

Decked out in Basketball elements, Time Out Cafe positions itself as a Basketball-themed cafe... with some Basketball-related wallpapers around, some knick-knacks and a dedicated mini Basketball field. The food offering or menu has got nothing related to Basketball though, merely the interior decor. It does not have a big menu but a simple one featuring some Western dishes with some local Asian dishes as well as some home-made sweet treats. Prices are slightly on the higher side considering the portion and its location but the place is very spacious with free parking... ideally for business talks or casual meet ups. Time Out Cafe is located right next to the main entrance or lobby of Stallions Apartment (use navigation app if you are not familiar with the neighborhood).

Magnum Cake (Rm 18.90)

Thai Common Pasta (Rm 24.90)

After receiving some recommendations from the server, we decided to go for one of their signature dishes- Thai Common Pasta. The Spaghetti was al-dentely cooked and beautifully coated with the sweet and sour Tom Yam sauce. It did not pack with a lot of heat but good enough to complement the flavors. It has a hint of creaminess, potentially from the sprinkles of Cheese but the overall combo was pretty good. We would however, prefer to have some crunchy elements added- like some fresh vegetables that could work well with Tom Yam. The dish was a little monotonous towards the end. For dessert, we had Magnum Cake... Chocolate Mousse sandwiching a layer of Caramel-like Mousse and coated with Chocolate. We were worried that the Magnum Cake would be too sweet for us but it turned out to be perfectly fine. The sweetness was there but not overwhelming; great for sharing.
