What's for Lunch? - The Haven Harbour

During Thaipusam holiday when most people hid at home for fear of traffic jam, we put our faith in Google map and headed out for food in town. Thankfully Google map did not fail us and the traffic was smooth all the way! Yay!

Luck was on our side as we managed to find a parking space near Continental bakery. The Haven Harbour was right at the corner of Nagore Road and Chime Heritage. We managed to get ourselves a table downstairs due to our excellent timing since the restaurant was full after a while.

The Haven Harbour provided set lunch with 8 choices of main courses. You may simply add on RM8 for salad/soup and a dessert. Unfortunately this promotion was not available to us due to public holiday.

We ended up ordering Spicy Aglio Olio with Prawns (RM20.90) & Moroccan Baked Egg (RM22.90) as Mains and Creme Brûlée (RM14.90) & Molten Matcha Lava Cake (RM18.90) as desserts. We did not order any drinks this round and simply enjoy their free water.
Which one are you?
The Moroccan Baked Egg was served with fresh garden salad drizzled with balsamic vinegar, sautéed mushroom and buttered bun. The sauce was tomato-base and very appetizing. The only complaint? The bun was too small for the bowl and I kind of hoped the tomato purée could be thicker. =p

The Spicy Aglio Olio was served with 4 big prawns - the prawns were kind of overcooked since the texture was quite hard. The taste of the pasta was okay - I think I still preferred the Aglio Olio from Italiannies (link).

Anyway, we were served the famed Molten Matcha Lava Cake and it was PERFECT! The hot Matcha lava paired with cold vanilla ice cream really was like fire and ice for your taste buds! Definitely a must try!

Look at this!
Our final dessert - Creme Brûlée was hot & crispy on top and cold & soft at the bottom. This contradiction worked perfectly just like the lava cake.

Another best thing about the desserts was they were both not overly sweet at all thus one would not feel too uncomfortable with sugar hangover. Definitely 2 thumbs up on their desserts!!!

Btw, there was no service charge included in their bill. The restaurant was quite full until there was no table for new patrons. We heard from the waiter there saying lunchtime during weekday was usually full but dinner would be less crowded.

The Haven Harbour is located at the corner of Chime Heritage just behind Penang plaza.
