Nasi Lemak is probably the only main dish available at Sin Boon Kee, but it comes in 2 different variants- Fish and Chicken. We opted for the latter one, it was not the typical battered Fried Chicken but more like Kampung-styled spiced Fried Chicken. It carried a very strong spice flavor and worked well with the Nasi Lemak (with hint of Coconut Milk). A pity that the Sambal was not as spicy as we would have hoped though
Sin Boon Kee (SBK) is the an old and famous coffee specialty store in Penang that sells thousands of bottled coffee and tea every month to all over Malaysia. Their famous Hor Kar Sai (chocolate malt mixes with coffee) is a must-try. Besides serving their famous beverages in store, they serve kaya butter toasts, nasi lemak, polo bun and such too. Currently the store is located in Jalan Jelutong.
If you are looking for a more stomach filling, the only option here will be Nasi Lemak, which you can have additional toppings such as prawns or fried chicken. Nevertheless, it was mediocre in taste and still has a margin to match those simple yet delicious street nasi lemak.
There is a range of main dishes should you need something to fill your stomach and we enjoyed Smoked Duck Creamy Mushroom Linguine (RM 24) much. This dish offers the traits of carbonara, which is a tad creamy and it had the slight briny smoked duck to balance the dish. Whenever you feel like having an extra dose of salt, take the unique parmesan chip and have a small bite of it. It will fill your oral cavity with a pleasant cheese of cheese immediately.
The next time if you're looking for a spot to sit back and relax over coffee or a spot for a delicious meal with family and friends, pop over to Coffee Signature, Penang.
环境装潢也很时尚高雅，用餐舒适且舒服。 是与好友一起来聊八卦是个不错的选择。
The signature at Genki Canteen is Hokkien Mee and Nasi Lemak. The cafe offers Signature Hokkien Mee at RM 9.90 (which is about double of usual hawker price), while addition of pork rib and prawns to the noodle have the price tag of RM 15.90 and RM 16.90 respectively. Genki Canteen's Hokkien Mee are nicely presented, although it did not differ much in terms of the ingredients offerings and portion. The taste is good though, brimming with nice and rich prawn scent and sleek in taste.
The Signature Hokkien Mee is probably one of the best sellers on the menu. We had the basic one at Rm 9.90 per bowl and it was.... basic. While we must agree that it was a decent Hokkien Mee (discernible Prawn flavor with a hint of Porky notes), the portion was small.
A very well prepared Fried Chicken Nasi Lemak !
Another new dish is Oven Grilled Squid (RM 28) that best reflects Malaysian cuisine culture. The squid is cooked to perfection - firm and chewy, but not rubbery, which is easily sliced with a light touch of knife. It is coated with sweet sauce with a hint of spiciness which is soothing to the palate.
D' Fat Mona Lisa primarily serves coffee and Western dishes.
The large premises can accommodate over 100 guests. Food can be served in a buffet setting.
One of the food court that provide many delicious local food, there are Hokkien Mee, Lam Mee, Wan Tan Mee and etc...
Here's the location.
Peri-Peri Chicken (RM 18.80) immediately caught our attention. It is not that type of fiery and hot peri-peri sauce, but more a mild spicy sauce that drenched over a nicely roasted chicken with tender meat. The sauce blends well with the chicken and elevated its taste. Served with a baked corn and some fries, this set provides a balance of nutritional needs in terms of carbohydrate, protein and fat.
Spaghetti Aglio Olio – RM15.80 Vege, RM20.80 Seafood. Spaghetti sauteed with olive oil, chili flakes, olives, broccoli, squids and lots of garlic. There is a choice of either vegetarian or seafood for different tastebad. To me the simplest dish is the most challenging dish. This is because everyone knows how to cook it and the taste can easily be compared. Therefore, to determine a good cook, I usually will order Aglio Olio. At Papilicious Olivia’s Pasta & Pizza, the aglio olio tasted exciting and spicy. It had the right balance of saltiness, spiciness and garlic taste. I would definitely go back for this again.
Olivia's Cajun Seafood Pasta did not disappoint. The cream-based sauce was multi-dimensional and carefully seasoned on the dot. It carried a hint of spiciness and backed by a handful of Pepper, Seafood was great but we thought the Fettuccine could be more al-dente
I personally love the desks by the windows. The air conditioning is kept comfortable so it was neither too warm or freezing. Very conducive for long hours of work or study I’ll say. 🙂
This is on the 1st floor where the Reading Zone, Brainstorm Rooms and Virtual Rooms are. Does it not remind you of an office?
The beauty of Injeolmi Bingsu is its simplicity... milk flavored shaved Ice topped with Mung Bean Flour, Mochi, Nuts and evaporated Milk. The shaved Ice was fine, soft and milky-sweet but the sweetness was of comfortable level, it was subtle and not saccharine sweet. The evaporated Milk increased the smoothness and milkiness of the sweet treat; overall, we thought it was quite delicious
Red Bean Ice Top (RM 23) was served in generous portion and topped up with Azuki beans and almond flakes. We enjoyed the well balanced sweetness introduced by the condensed milk and the sleek shaved ice that gentle to the tongue. Usage of Azuki beans did make the difference and reflect its Korean descent. It is best shared among 2 people to prevent fatigue arising from having too big bowl at one go.
If you are tired of the usual franchise cafes around, it's high time that you pay a visit to Cafe Droptop, a Korean-franchise brand that has recently landed on Penang. Cafe Droptop has heavy presence in Korea and in recent years, it has expanded its business operations to other Asian countries. Its first outlet in Penang can be found at Maritime Piazza. Like most franchise brands, Cafe Droptop offers a standard cafe menu with a Korean touch. The menu has a delicious mix of beverages and sweet treat; notable items include Maple Honey Toast, Bingsu (Korean Shaved Ice) and Sweet Potato Latte. Prices are on the higher side but the modern-chic atmosphere is comfortable and cozy, definitely a place where you can spend some leisure time with your friends or family.
We liked the Salmon Quinoa Salad (RM 25). It offers a refreshing and tangy sensation with its unique combination of quinoa, salmon, tomatoes, onions, black sesame, red radish, edible flowers and topped with a poached egg. Somehow, it taste has similarity with local Kerabu.
Chicken Breast on Toast The former one was pan fried Chicken Breast served atop of Toast and mashed Potatoes, fresh greens in a touch of Pesto sauce. The flavor combo was as straight-forward as it can be but what we did not like was the Toast... which became too soggy as a result of soaking it together with the mashed Potatoes. Other than that, we thought it was quite a contenting yet, healthy dish.
We had a Tiramisu Mousse Cake (RM 14) and a cup of Cappuccino (RM 9). Tiramisu is okay with soft texture but the tiramisu scent was not strong enough to give me a wow expression. Not a bad choice to harp over at the cafe for a sweet treat considering the affordable dessert choices.
Swens' Blueberry Cheese Cake was okay... it was creamy, cheesy but lacked the 'wow' factor. Sweetness was well-balanced though. Not too bad but did not really shake me. When the fresh out-of-oven Honey Strawberry Waffle was served to us, we were delighted to see the crisp edges but half way through, it turned soggy-soft; so eat it lest it turned back into a sloppy dough. It was lightly drizzled with Honey but we thought they could have served more, it was not as sweet as expected; would be even better if they could serve with a scoop of Ice Cream. Unlike what the name suggested, the Strawberry factor was in fact, weak.
Will definitely come back here for their Crispy Pork Sandwich.
Harlequin Combo and Crab Combo are both the most-ordered meals here. The former one comes with a concoction of Clams, Mussels, Yabbies, Prawns, Sausages and Corns while the latter choice has Crabs, Sausages and Corns. Both were dressed in a spicy, sweet-savory sauce. Both possessed strong smokiness; the flavor-combo was attractive at first but we thought it was too monotonous towards the end. The boldly seasoned Seafood was too hefty on the palate. Seafood was fresh and the fact that Mud Crabs with Roe were served, we thought the prices were well-justified. Good for novelty experience but not the type of food that I would want to eat on a regular basis.
他的酱料还蛮特别的，和一般吃到的不太一样哟。
On the other hand, the Nyonya Dumpling (RM 6.80) is not bad. It offers a fair balanced of sweet and savoury taste. It has been some time we did not see Nyonya dumpling on restaurant menu.
Leaving this new cafe with very little chance to show the public what they are made of.
Unlike any other places that serve Western Breakfast, AM Noshery serves breakfast differently. The 'Breakfast in a Cup' concept is popular in other countries but not in Penang but that is exactly what makes AM Noshery stands out amongst the rest. Leveraged on the brilliant idea of combining Bacon with Egg, the unassuming cafe within the neighborhood of Island Glades has proven to be one of the favorite spots for the parents to convince their young children eating breakfast. Those with stubborn Asian palate are not forsaken here, AM Noshery offers Asian staples like Rice and Noodles but ironically, we found the noodle dish out-shined its signature AM cups.
US Cowboy Cafe is a Western theme restaurant at Promenade 28.
