Borbie Cheese Potato and Snack at Gurney Plaza, Penang

She always walked past this stall and always wanted to give it a try but we never actually stood outside and order. Why? Because for a potato baked kind of food, she felt that it was a bit too pricey. So, we always just walked past it.

Then, one day when we were heading towards Old Town for just some snacks and coffee time, she decided that she wanted to try this time. "Do it for food blog sake!" Yeah.. the reason that always wins. Hahaha. At first, we waited like a good 30 minutes because the lady apparently went to the "toilet"! So okay.. Determination must be there if you want to eat something. Haha!

We finally ordered. And when it came (which was surprisingly fast), we were also given a cup of Iced Lemon Tea. So, it's like Buy 1, Free 1 Iced Lemon Tea. Let's see what we think of it.

The many flavors of Borbie. 

Borbie Special (RM8.50)
He says: Hmmmmmmmmm... Like the pineapples, sausages and brocolli but the corn + weird cheesy sauce made it a bit of a funny taste. Just okay for me.=S
She says: The moment I laid my eyes on the food, I straight speechless. It doesn't look appetizing at all. Hah. The potato feels like its just made of powder instant kind. The gravy to it was a bit too cheesy and creamy for me. After a few mouthful, I felt so "jelak" with it. Don't like it, sorry. Too expensive also for a piece of potato snack.

Wan Tan Mee at Swee Kong Coffee Shop at Pulau Tikus, Penang

Brunch time is always best. 

This means we both woke up at that kind of time where eating lunch is too early and a bit too late for breakfast. Syiok la this lifestyle. Though we only get to do this over the weekends. 

Anyways, we were figuring out where to eat and what to eat. He suggested that we linger around Pulau Tikus since we were gonna do something later on. So, in the end we came here!

Very difficult to find free parking space around this area so we parked our car at quite a distance! But this is Penang! Walking makes it more fun! :D

Master Chef at work. 

An extra point for chefs that are extra friendly to people who takes photos of their stalls and their "secret recipe"! :)


Wan Tan Mee (S) - RM3.50
He says: Its kinda rare to find wan tan mee with "lor" on top of it. And the combination of it is just so special. Like it =)
She says: It's a typical wan tan mee. The "gravy" supposed to make it special but I feel it tasted rather bland to me. Nothing unique and I didn't really like it. The noodles however is very springy, which is a good thing! Oh and the fried wantons are super yummmmeh!
