The Melbourne Cartel @ Straits Quay, Penang.

One of the latest additions to Straits Quay Penang is The Melbourne Cartel- where Australian vibes meet gourmet Waffles and Pancakes... inspired by Aussie culinary traditions and served in a creative twist. The cafe specializes in Waffles and Pancakes... but also offers an Aussie-influenced All Day Breakfast menu. The Coffee Beans are roasted and imported from Melbourne directly so you are literally getting a taste of the Down Under from Penang. If you must know- there are a couple of tables at the al-fresco area, especially suitable for pet owners.


Matcha Waffles (Rm 29.90)


Milo and Oreo Waffles (Rm 26.90)


Apple Pie Crepe (Rm 29.90)


Melbourne Breakfast Tea (Rm 18)

To start- all orders of Crepes/ Waffles do come with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream. As you choose for the toppings, you get to choose as to whether to serve as Crepe or Waffle. For Apple Pie, we had ours with Crepe... beautifully done with the right thickness, served with a fruity-acidic Apple compote with a Cinnamon touch. It has a good balanced of sweet and sour notes, making the dessert not-so monotonous. We also enjoyed the Matcha Waffles- perfectly airy and crisp Waffles served with creamy Matcha concoction. While we would prefer it to carry a bolder Matcha factor, we were certainly pleased by the creamy-sweet texture. One serving of the Waffle/Crepe is good enough for 2-3 pax.
