Special thanks to Nazzeeras’ for extending this food review invitation.
Penang Science Cluster has a workshop inside Wisma Yeap Chor Ee at China Street Ghaut (Gat Lebuh China). This non-profit organization strives to instill interest in science and technology among the younger generation. Penang Science Cluster is colocated with an intriguing eatery called Nazzeeras’.
Wisma Yeap Chor Ee is actually Nazzeeras’ second outlet; the first one is operates from Kompleks Penjaja Desiran Tanjung. The menu here covers Mexican dishes, pasta, toasts, sandwiches, pastries and coffee. Thanks to the comfort of air conditioning, the café provides a relaxing ambience for casual dining.
Today’s meal begins with Huevos Rancheros (RM20.90), which literally means “ranch-style eggs” in Spanish. This ubiquitous breakfast dish in Mexico is given a creative spin to suit the local palate. Besides eggs, the Huevos Rancheros is also made of Spanish sausage, tomato, cheddar cheese, basil and chili flakes. It comes with two slices of toasted multigrain bread.
Next, Chicken Fajitas (RM23.90) are primarily prepared from grilled chicken, onions and spices. This popular Tex-Mex street food is wrapped with flour tortilla, which presents a unique texture when chewed. I also find the spiciness rather tantalizing. Chicken Fajitas come with garden salad on the side.
Greek Yogurt Banana Smoothie (RM12.90) is one of the beverages on the menu. The yogurt’s distinctive sour taste keeps one’s palate refreshed between bites of spicy food. The drink is presented in a glass mug with a stirring rod.
Nazzeeras’ operates from 10:30am to 6:30pm daily and is closed every Monday. While waiting for food to be served, feel free to explore the interactive exhibits in the Penang Science Cluster. There is also a small library with reading materials for people from all walks of life. The facility is open to the public and admission is free.
