Norm Micro Roastery is another new project by Norm Penang, where this space will be for specialty-coffee-centric, serving all-day brunch, cakes and desserts and sometimes seasonal menu item by the counter.

Loving the space inside as it has raw cement finishing coupled with green pots and gravels. Minimalist, spacious and has high ceiling as well as abundant of natural lighting from the ceiling panels. Seats are quite unique on its own, custom built arrangement with designated shape.

Had this Prawn & Pumpkin Risotto (RM 32) that was Moroccan spiced prawn with pumpkin risotto, clams, shimeji, crispy sage and parmesan cheese. Overall, taste was absolutely fantastic - risotto was cooked to al-dente, packed with flavors from the pumpkin and mixed spices, and generous amount of clams. Prawns was big and fresh too!

If you can't take heavy food for your breakfast, try the Eggs Your Way (RM 13) comes with choice of poached eggs, scrambled eggs or fried eggs on toast. Had mine with scrambled eggs, perfectly seasoned with salt and pepper, well drizzled with olive oil and topped with coriander. Sourdough is great in my own opinion as it isn't chewy or hard to bite.

Dessert wise, I was fortunate to have a try on their off-menu dessert, Vanilla Creme Brulee. Straight-up creamy custard with a layer of caramelized sugar vanilla pod essence, very soft yet not compromising the flavor of vanilla - yummy! Also, you will not feel satiated from eating it as it is soft in texture and flavor. So, there's plenty more room for your tummy!

My personal summary: Great place for photographer. Car park can be challenging during peak hours, hence, park at your own risk - so be there early to avoid disappointment. Good food and drinks.
