The Bacon and Egg Bagel is a beautiful art to look at, with the runny egg yolks surrounded by stripes of bacon, just like the flower petal opened up to unveil its stems. Saltiness from the bacon yields as a natural seasoning for the egg, making a perfect combination that will definitely tantalize your taste buds.
Bacon & Egg RM 12 不得不说,这是我在马来西亚吃过最好吃的Bagel ! 选择的内陷是培根加入口即化的荷包蛋,配上外皮酥脆的贝果 一口咬下去有嚼劲,十分满足!
Apart from bagels, they also provide their handmade yogurt with toppings that you hardly find outside the cafe, we have walnuts and raisins. Our choice of yogurt did not come with honey/gula Melaka that can complements the tartness of the yogurt, it's quite sour every bites we had, that's why we must eat the yogurt together with walnuts or raisins to neutralize it.
Okay, so I had a much nicer time at Junk Cafe this time around. I would consider returning the next time I’m in Penang, maybe even trying their food, but only if the patio is free. I dislike the vibe inside – in such a sunny place like George Town, why sit in a dank room? The prices are also too expensive to be a regular drinking spot, so for me, it would have to be a “once per trip” sort of place.
Enjoyed a good late afternoon here at Junk Cafe.
Meanwhile, Full of Junk burger comes with a juicy and succulent beef patty and served along lettuce, tomato, sauteed mushrooms, caramelized onions and tasty cheese. We thought the patty saltiness level could be tuned down for a more enjoyable eating experience, as every components of the burger worked decently except for the over seasoned patty.
Pinwheel is a nice cafe along Chulia Street that serve western food. They have many different types of western food that range from Pasta, Pizzas, Snacks, Soup and more. They added a little twist of Asian touch to it where you can find food like Tomyam, Rendang and more, making it interesting for your taste buds to explore.
The Chicken Rendang Spaghetti is one good example. We found the Rendang flavor was spot on with strong presence of spices and the Pasta was expertly cooked but a pity that the Chicken was overcooked. Not only that it was overcooked with a rubbery texture, the Chicken pieces were cooked in the Rendang sauce... merely fried version, which we thought it was slightly off the Rendang theme
During our visit to Coffee Lane, we tried 3 different hand dripped coffee brewed using different beans. The barista patiently detailed to us on the taste profile for each of the beans, and did well to manage our expectations. If you are a coffee lover and keen to explore more about coffee, this is a place meant for you. The cozy environment is another plus point, making Coffee Lane an ideal location for a chit chat and rendezvous with friends.
Our favorite in the restaurant will be their Gulai Tumis Nga Wa Hoo (RM 28, small ; RM 52, medium; RM 130, big). It is a savoury dish with Threadfin cooked in a tamarind-flavoured curry with lady's fingers and spiced up with bunga kantan and curry leaves. Best eaten along with rice, otherwise the curry will turn out to be too overwhelming and strong in taste.
Spicy Ikan Bilis RM15.00 This was absolutely spicy
Here's the location.
The Club Sandwich on the other hand, was decent-average. The Bread was nicely buttered and the texture was good. No big issues but things would be better if they could improve on all these small little things.
