#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck If you are walking around Gurney Plaza Penang and want to find something cool and refreshing, I recommend you to stop by llaollao. It is a famous frozen yogurt brand from Spain. The taste is very good, not too sweet, and you won't feel guilty after eating it. Their popular menu is Sanum, a yogurt cup with 3 types of fresh fruits, 2 types of crunchy toppings, and a special sauce like cookie sauce or chocolate. I must say it is very good. The fruits are fresh. There are many to choose from, such as kiwi, dragon fruit, melon, mango. Those who are health conscious will love it. The price is around 14-15 ringgit. One cup is enough to fill you up. The shop is located on the ground floor of Gurney Plaza. It is easy to find. It opens every day from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. If you are a yogurt lover or want something light but still delicious, go for it. You won't be disappointed!

I dropped by the new Paris Baguette outlet at Gurney Plaza, and I’ve got to say—it’s a lovely little spot if you’re into cozy cafés with a stylish twist. The place has a clean, modern vibe with a soft, classy aesthetic that feels like a cross between a trendy bakery and a boutique café. Their pastry display is what first caught my attention—everything looked picture-perfect. I tried the croissant and their signature strawberry shortcake, and both were delicious. The croissant was buttery and flaky, while the cake was light, not overly sweet, and full of fresh flavor. You can tell they pay attention to quality and presentation. It’s also a nice spot if you want a quick lunch or coffee catch-up. They’ve got a variety of baked goods, sandwiches, and drinks, including good coffee and fruit teas.
