This is my first visit to Gasoline Cafe at Penang Times Square. If you drive past Penang Times Square on Jalan Dato Keramat, for sure you will see the big signboard of Gasoline Cafe. It’s a cafe that offers a wide variety of food and it’s more like a fast food restaurant because the food served were really fast.
I didn’t intend to write about it as I didn’t bring my big camera along. I was not in a “feels like writing about it” mood too, but then I realised that I got a point and shoot camera in my pocket, so why not just taking some photos and share with what I’ve eaten there. =)
Gasoline Cafe is not only available in Penang but there’s a few outlets of it in Kuala Lumpur. The one in Penang Times Square is first in Penang though.
The cafe has a mediocre design, very weird and there’s dining area in a little cave.
They offer a wide variety of food, from local to western food, a lot of chicken and rices, a lot of local apertizers, a lot of very special beverage and more. There’s quite a lot of food in their menu and the food feels local too.
Check out the mineral water/sky juice, it’s RM3/RM1 and additional RM1 for lemon slice. That’s a stupid and I don’t like about this.
Brother ordered Thai Chicken (and) Rice, it’s just chicken cutlets with Thai chilli sauce. A very simple dish at RM6.90 per plate. Brother says it’s better to go for McDonald’s. Haha.
I got myself a plate of Portugese Chicken (and) Rice, RM6.90 too. This one is different a bit with more vegetable compare to the Thai Chicken Rice. I like the sauce, it’s not plain Thai chilli sauce but taste a bit like barbeque and Satay sauce. Not bad.
Here is a plate of Vietnamese Coke Fried Chicken. RM9.90 for 4 chicken wings. It sounds expensive, but then I like it. I don’t know how a Coke taste like, smells like roasted chicken but taste different with those hawker stall roasted chicken.
Gonna visit this place again in other time to try other food. Moreover, the pricing is not very expensive, so it’s a place for student like us.

Do you like Chicken Cordon Blu? Yes, I do a lot and in fact most of the time when I will order this when I came across this in the food menu.
One of the best (to me) Chicken Cordon Blu here in Penang is James Foo’s which is the western food at Fettes Park. Delicious! Do ask for extra cheese and it will be cheesy creamy when you cut open the chicken wrapping.
Two weeks ago, I went hiking with a bunch of schoolmates. When we reached the top of Penang Hill after 2 hours of hiking from Botanical Garden as the starting point, we had our breakfast at the food stalls there.
I ordered Ais Kacang (or known as Ice Kacang/ABC), it’s good to have something cold and cool after a long walk and it’s hot out there. There’s 3 stall of Ice Kacang, I recommend eating the one that the Malay sells, it’s nice. However, ask for less syrup because they put a lot into it which makes it very sweet.
I did not have any breakfast before hiking so I was very hungry when I got up there. I ordered a Nasi Goreng Kampung (Fried Rice in Malay Kampung style) from a Malay stall and this is good. It’s fried with ikan bilis (anchovy( and some vegetables. Delicious, or maybe I was hungry that time, but I still like it.
This was my first time eating the koay teow thng at Lebuh Kimberley a few days night ago. Dad says the stall at the corner of junction of Lebuh Kimberley and Lebuh Chulia existed there a long time ago. It sounds famous so we went to try it out.
It’s called Ah Hai’s Instant Cooked Kaoy Teow Thng. I got to know about this name from the little signboard at the corner of the five foot path.
It’s not duck meat like at 7 Road but it’s pork. There’s also tur kua (pig’s liver) in it which I dislike it a lot. I did actually ask for extra ingredient but I didn’t know that it’s so many. It’s a big bowl of koay teow thng and I felt so full after eating everything. Not to mention the extra fish ball soup that dad’s ordered.
The soup is clearer than the one at 7 Road but I prefer duck meat more. This is not a bad one too but the fish ball lose out a little bit comparing to the one at Armenian Street.
