The cake- White chocolate cheese. Cost about RM9++ man! Not exactly cheap. Taste wise it's not bad.

I headed to the Royal Selangor Visitor Centre next. Surprisingly, the people there offered to do a tour for us about the place F.O.C! Very interesting place.

After a brief tour the employee there even demonstrated to us how to make pewter stuff!

TADAAA. Your end product.

More similiar samples.

Furthermore, you can even design your own pewter products! Well, specifically a bowl... but with your own personal engraving..

End of the day you will get your bowl and a cert! Rm60 per person though.

They still make F1 trophies. Impressive.

Feeling hungry after the tour i went for more desserts! XD

Presenting Fruuze! A cheaper alternative compared to Tutti Frutti. Hopefully this shop will still be there the next time i go Penang.
