Seriously, you have no worries if you are starving in this island – The Pearl of Orient. Well, guess nobody will care for what am going to explain why… reason is just so simple, you can find food anywhere in the island, and you can have it around the clock.Now that Wi-Fi has become many households’ requirements, and certain bistro & café also get it fix due to customers’ requests. And you’ll see more of these people eating at these outlets too.
Not sure is this the first outlet that serving 24 hours food for gluttons and surfers, but this is one of the hot spot for us who wants food and surfing at the same time.
Let’s cut the craps, … it was late afternoon after running the weekly errands, hubby and I running out of idea what to have for lunch, in fact a late lunch.
It’s just happened that we drove passed this place and have never ever thought of trying. But this time, it was so spontaneous, we both just parked our car outside the outlet and walked in with starving belly.
Though late lunch, we didn’t want to torture ourselves by having something miserable. So, we have 1 Wantan Hor (滑蛋河) for myself and, Hokkien Char (福建炒) for hubby.We both were impressed with the food taste, and it’s full of Wok Hei (鑊氣). And the amount of food that serving isn’t miserable too.
Well, since it’s late lunch we also have an extra toast to keep us fill up, otherwise, as you know a hungry person is an angry person.
A toast with a cup of Mr Pot’s White Coffee, something to keep your mind occupy by enjoying the coffee aroma.
I wasn’t in the mood for coffee that afternoon, but a glass of Mango Juice instead. Well, isn’t that bad at all after all, it does help in cooling you down on a hot weather!
I’ve not been the Gurney Drive outlet, but this outlet will definitely not easy to miss, just check out these babies on top of the wall. Got that?Other Review

In fact, it’s a big group of us having lunch down here, thus, we didn’t order any of their Ala Carte food, but to go for their Set Lunch instead. In fact, their Set Lunch is satisfying, the food that serves are reasonable good, price is reasonable!
Soup of the Day – Broccoli Soup, the soup is creamy and fragrant.
Again, we have something extra, the Garlic Bread. Well, I gotta admit that the Garlic Bread is definitely can’t beat 
Main Course is either Aglio Olio Pasta with BBQ Chicken or Grilled Chicken with Thai Salad. But this Aglio Olio pasta is absolutely drooling, the serving is big… the BBQ Chicken is tender and juicy! Just fantastic!
Others are having BBQ Chicken with Thai Salad. They commented the BBQ Chicken is just too good to have it in the tummy. The meat is tender and juicy, and the time that they have marinated must be the key factor of making this BBQ Chicken so delicious.
After all that, what was served was the dessert – The Panna Cotta with Strawberry Sauce. I never know what is that, but only know this is good, nice and you can wacked it all out! Well, am a dessert person, what else could you ask for, right? By the way, from what I know 
Last… either Tea or Sprite. Well, some of us op for coffee, that’s something should have after a nice, satisfying meal, isn’t it??

You know what, normally before I write something, I’ll normally Google the Restaurant or the food name whatsoever… then I can put that in as other review, so that reader could also have a cross reference check.
And guess what, think this is one of the most reviewed places by many bloggers, whether it’s in 1-Utama, The Garden or The Sunway Pyramid… and now it’s right here in the Pearl of Orient – Penang.
I had a Fish Porridge (
Sis had Pork Intestines Porridge (
My brother-in-law was skeptical with the food that we ordered, so the safest is to have a plate of Hong Kong Wantan Noodle (
Claypot Chicken Dice (
Not to forget their famous Crispy Roasted Pork Belly (
If you realize it comes with mustard and sugar. Isn’t it typical Cantonese style of eating Roasted Pork??
Many people had tried this stall, and many had commented it’s good. The only thing that put a stop for visiting is the waiting time. Unless, you are willing to be there early like 7am, which I did.
Waited for about 20 minutes, and here comes our noodle.
The serving was generous, especially the shrimps that given. And this bowl of noodle making you feel so good especially on a cold morning. It’s like warmth that heat up your belly.
Hubby said, this stall was originally from Rangoon Road where Super Burmah Road used to be. Now they are here in One Corner Café (和喜茶室), which is located at Bawasah Road, right behind Penang Plaza. This corner shop used to be fish aquarium, where people buy fishes, and so on.
Why this place? Well, … whoever had dined in 32 Mansion or 68 Kelawai (those days), they will surely know the owner will revamp the place in a very cozy manner and the food serving is superb!
Before we went thru the menu, hubby straight away orders their garlic bread. No doubt about it, their garlic bread is the best among the restaurants in Penang.
I have their famous Piquant salad with tangy Chinese preserved plum dressing. If you like their Piquant sauce, if am not mistaken you can purchase that in 32 Mansion at about RM12 per bottle.
Leek Cream Soup that’s what hubby has ordered for himself. He said it was marvelous and creamy. It’s excellent when you have the soup with their garlic bread. He said it’s like floating in the heaven.
Of course, with a glass of white wine, that could unwind any problems that he has for the day.
As for the main entrée, I have something simple. The Angel Hair in Chili Tomato Concasse with Crabmeat & Ginger Flower was my choice and it claims to be their signature dish too. It’s something unique to me, cuz, it’s garnishing with some ginger flowers in it and generous crabmeat too.
The birthday boy had Pan Seared Cod with Sherry Wine Capsicum Cream Sauce & Crispy Julienne Leek. He didn’t really like it neither does he unhappy about it. Probably hubby was benchmarking 32 Mansion standards.
That night was a quiet night and I managed to take a few shots of the restaurants.
In fact, I like the Clear Soup Noodle (
Many Ipohan prefers Ipoh way of curry mee. To them, Ipoh Curry Mee (
On this hungry morning, we have actually ordered a lot of food. Even the not so impressive Wanton Mee (
Since it’s a raining morning, we have something extra, the Pork Intestine Soup (
And, an extra plate of Toast Bread too. It was nothing to shout about, but when you’re in the mood of grabbing every food in the shop, who cares about that!
The only disappointment is this, Ipoh Char Koay Teow. It didn’t have the ‘Wok Hei’ (
