The travels of the omnom gnome

A gluttonous gnome of the omnom species, I seek sustenance to fuel my nightly garden visits. Currently applying for a driver's license.

@cheem went to Hong Kong and ate a whole bunch of yummy foods! "First of the many meals that we'll be having with @omnomgnome. Sister Wah's Beef Brisket Noodles was everything every food blogs said online. "Crispiest" wanton noodles I've ever had with generous portions of tender beef briskets that melts in your mouth. At HKD40, it was well worth the queue and table sharing with random strangers." #cheemchews #gnomeinHK #omnomgnome #food #foodie #foodporn #foodstagram #instafood #foodgasm #instagood #yummy #delish #delicious

Discovered a secluded cafe that serves pork! Porky Pancake (RM15++) sounds a lot more promising than it tasted 😣 'Twas decent enough if you're up for a homemade meal in a shop 👌 (Maps Global, Sunway) #pancake #pork #cafe #breakfast #food #foodie #foodstagram #foodgasm #instagood #instafood #foodporn #foodcomedy

This cafe has a basement, how cool is that! RM13 for a decent lunch with drinks, I'm gonna keep this place a secret all to myself 😛 👍 #cafe #chicken #food #foodie #foodstagram #malaysia #foodgasm #instafood #instagood #western #foodporn #foodcomedy #yummy #delicious #delish

Here at the new location for the first time! Even more disappointing than the last, yet there was a long queue! Salty and soggy, like Malaysian's taste for food 😠 (Pork chop RM11.50) #yutkee #porkchop #chinese #hainanese #food #foodporn #foodgasm #foodstagram #foodie #foodcomedy #instafood (at Yut Kee Restaurant 鎰記茶室)

L-R: Salmon arabiatta, pesto fettucine, fish & crisp, chicken roulade. See I'm not a grammar nazi so it doesn't bother me that they spelled it "rulled" or "fettucini". Not at all 😓 Great start for a dinner menu by a recently-graduated chef with nice touches like nestum flakes instead of breaded chicken and I look forward to eating more of his works! 😁 👍 #pasta #cafe #thvrsday #ttdi #western #malaysia #food #foodie #foodgasm #foodstagram #instafood #instagood #yummy #delish #delicious #foodporn #foodcomedy

#ThrowbackTuesday: Thvrsday's preview of their dinner menu. I wasn't impressed the first and last time I went there but I was pretty happy with the soup and orange ceviche salad - yes, even though I detest rocket leaves! 🚀 And the flowers are edible #omgwtfbbqsaucepewpew 👍 #thvrsday #cafe #dinner #soup #ceviche #salad #western #ttdi #malaysia #food #foodie #foodgasm #foodstagram #instafood #instagood #yummy #delish #delicious

By @theswaggersalon "Wrapping up the week, the last spot for the @omnomgnome x @theswaggersalon food feature is none other than our next door neighbours, Bricklin Cafe Bar. The brainchild of the same guys behind @feekacoffeeroasters, @foodfoundry, and @butterandbeans in the Klang Valley, @bricklincafebar opened late last year here at @hinbusdepot, about the same time we launched our Georgetown flagship store. Interestingly enough, Food Foundry and Butter & Beans in Seksyen 17 are just around the corner from our workshop back in Petaling Jaya as well. Without doubt, Bricklin Cafe Bar is one of the coziest and most chilled out coffee joints in the area to the point where we'd rather hangout here than at our store! Despite its tiny space, there is a lot of attention put to the details in every aspect of the cafe, and that includes the coffee — brewed with their signature Feeka blend. Our personal favourites? The Iced Mocha and trademark Bricklin Cold Brew. Paired with a slice of cake and the relaxed environment, there's no better spot for us to chill and crank out ideas on random afternoons. Bricklin Cafe Bar is located at Hin Bus Art Depot, right next door to the left of The Swagger Salon Georgetown and is opened daily from 10am to 7pm on weekdays, and 10am to 10pm on weekends. #omnomgnome #theswaggersalon #georgetowngnome #bricklin" via @PhotoRepost_app #penang #food #cake #dessertporn #dessert #foodie #malaysia #cafe #instafood #instagood #yummy #delish #delicious #foodstagram #foodgasm

By @theswaggersalon "We're going for a food coma this Valentine Saturday, which is also Day 6 of the @omnomgnome x @theswaggersalon food feature. When it comes to Penang hawker food, everybody has their own personal favourites. And some may also disagree that the food at the Lebuh Presgrave (aka 3rd Road to Penangites) corner kopitiams are the best in Penang. However, to have such a variety of authentic Penang hawker food in one place, just 5 minutes walk away from The Swagger Salon Georgetown, is more than we could ask for. Some notable hawker stall dishes here include the Char Koay Kak, Wan Tan Mee, Satay, our personal favourite Or Chien (oyster omelette), and of course the famed Hokkien Prawn Mee, said to be among the best in Penang island. Oh and the Ais Kacang here is a must as well, although the size of the ice cream has visibly shrunk over the years. While there are also many other food choices available here such as fried rice, Western food, etc, the ones above are our recommended choices, and are always on our list when we decide to makan here. Some stalls here close on Mondays, some on Thursdays, but if you're here for dinner on weekends, you definitely won't miss out on much. The 3rd Road hawker stalls are located at the corner of the Lebuh Presgrave and Jalan McNair junction, a 5-minute walk away from The Swagger Salon Georgetown. #omnomgnome #theswaggersalon #georgetowngnome" via @PhotoRepost_app #food #penang #malaysia #foodie #foodgasm #foodstagram #foodporn #foodcomedy #instagood #instafood #yummy #delish #delicious

By @theswaggersalon "#FridayFeast: No better day to treat ourselves to some serious lunch than today. For Day 5 of the @omnomgnome x @theswaggersalon food feature, we decided to drive out for lunch instead, to the newest and biggest cafe restaurant in Penang, Macallum Connoisseurs — a 2-minute drive away from The Swagger Salon Georgetown. Arguably the largest cafe of its kind in the entire northern region, @macallumcoffee houses not just a cafe and restaurant, but also a coffee roastery and barista academy as well. Being the serious coffee lovers that they are, not only are all their beans roasted in-house for their signature houseblend espresso, they also serve handcrafted coffee such as pour-over and aeropress brews. And their food compliments their coffee perfectly in terms of taste and presentation as well. Our personal favourites from the menu? The Smokey Duck Breast with Red Wine Sauce (RM25) and Pesto Spaghetti with Clams (RM22), accompanied by a cup of their recommended Aussie Strong Latte (RM11). Macallum Connoissuers Coffee Co. is located at 1, Gat Lebuh Macallum, 10300 Penang, just 2 minutes and a left turn away from The Swagger Salon by car. #omnomgnome #theswaggersalon #macallumconnoisseurs #georgetowngnome" via @PhotoRepost_app #food #penang #malaysia #foodie #foodstagram #foodgasm #instagood #instafood #yummy #delish #delicious #cafe

What strong arms you have there! By @theswaggersalon "Thursday Treats: We're at the infamous GAMA corner Ali Bubur for post-lunch dessert, on Day 4 of the @omnomgnome x @theswaggersalon food feature. Parked right at the corner of the iconic GAMA supermarket, along with many other hawker stalls, Ali Bubur has been selling their famous sweet Bubur for 45 years and counting, since 1970. Having only three main items on their menu — Bubur Gandum (Wheat Porridge), Bubur Pulut Hitam (Black Glutinous Rice Porridge), and Bubur Kacang Hijau (Green Bean Porridge), you'd still have a hard time deciding which to have because they all taste just as good. Each bowl costs RM1.40 (RM1.50 if you tapau), and you have the option to add extra glutinous (or sticky) rice for 20 sen, or a sweet bun for 60 sen. Ali Bubur opens from 10am until their containers run dry, every day except Fridays, and is located at the corner intersection of Jalan Gurdwara and Jalan Trang, 2 minutes walk away from The Swagger Salon Georgetown. #theswaggersalon #omnomgnome #georgetowngnome #thelostgiant" via @PhotoRepost_app #food #penang #malaysia #foodie #foodgasm #foodstagram #foodporn #foodcomedy #instafood #instagood #yummy #delicious #delish
