There’s the local franchise OLDTOWN White Coffee and now there’s our Penang’s very own GEORGETOWN White Cofee. No, I’m not kidding. It’s opened in conjuction with the opening of Pacific Mall at KOMTAR and I thought it was OLDTOWN at first because they used the same font for their logo but it’s not, it’s GEORGETOWN!

From the paper, this GEORGETOWN White Coffee cafe is known as the biggest store in Malaysia but then I have yet to know the others franchise or branch store for this. Anyway, the cafe is pretty and I was with KOKahKOK and MX, and we had our lunch thre.

Looking through the menu, I see that food are like OLDTOWN’s but with more Penang’s local food and price is of course not as cheap as at the kopitiam. I ordered a Rendang Chicken Rice and KOKahKOK ordered a Nasi Lemak.

The girl told us that the system in the cafe was down and food maybe served a bit late and they served us these kuih (worth RM4) for free. That’s fine when I heard that but then it took really very long, I even asked how long will it takes but then the waiter never came back to us.

What we really had was just the kuih and our beverages. 2 GEORGETOWN White Cofee and a GEORGETOWN Chocolate. White Coffee tasted like there’s a lot of milk, not that bad for it but then I didn’t try on the chocolate.

We were fed up with the long waiting time, they were not prepared for something like this,  maybe it’s new to them but they have to train their staff well. They were like walking slowly, everything was so relax. We canceled our food, paid for the drinks and walked away. Others did this too, because it was too long already.

KOK then wondered, what if we did not order any drinks but food, then they serve the kuih for free, we eat it, cancel our food, and run! Haha.

Hopefully, they will improve on everything, perhaps price too! I’ll apologize them for giving us free kuih. Another thing was, there’s no wifi provided in store.

UPDATE: The cafe improves a lot since opening.

I love coffee, do you like coffee? The Coffee Bean at Pavilion, KL is different from the rest in Malaysia. It’s situated on the lowest ground floor and in the middle of the mall. The good part of it is you need not to walk to the counter as you usually do and order your favourite brewed coffee.

You just need to pick a seat, sit down and the waiter will bring you a menu and serve you.

The bad part is, there’s no free Wifi, and no free self-service drinking water. You have to pay for the mineral water if you need some water. Usually, at other The Coffee Bean, there’s a jar filled with ice cold water for drinking purpose, it’s free though.

Brother ordered the dark hot chocolate that is shown on the first page of the menu, look pretty. There’s marshmallows but it’s just very tiny cubes of it. It’s a big glass of hot chocolate drink and frankly, it’s close to Milo. Maybe I can try Milo with marshmallows too. =)

This is a old cafe hidden in one of the tiny lane in the heart of Georgetown. The specialities of what the cafe serves are the bread with kaya and butter, half boiled egg and kopi. That’s all for the cafe, it’s a local breakfast. Though, I had it for brunch today.

The little cafe is located right opposite this shop lots at the head of Campbell Street.

Toh Soon Cafe is the name. This has already been around for quite some years and this was my first visit to me. Thanks to mom for taking me here.

There’s nothing much you can order. It’s just bread with butter and kaya paste but there’s a variety of bread to choose from. What they have today were hainan bread, chocolate bread and coffee marble bread. It’s either steam or toasted and then put on some kaya paste and butter on it.

Try out some local Kopi Peng (Ice coffee with condensed milk), it’s quite nice.

There’s the half boiled egg. One that they are using just normal eggs instead of Omega3 eggs like in Old Town.

Here comes the bread. First up was Hainan bread, with kaya and butter inside. The bread was steamed so that it’s soft when it’s eaten. It’s not nicely served so the bread in the photo is a little bit ugly but it’s nice to eat.

Then we got chocolate bread and coffee marble bread with the same thing inside.

My personal favourite is still the hainan bread beacuse its softness.

If I’m not mistaken, they sell until mid afternoon. So you can have your afternoon tea there too.

Big Apple Donuts and Coffee is in Penang, one in Aeon Jusco Seberang Prai and another one which is on the island in the basement of Gurney Plaza.

This is just a random photos post showing the donuts that I’ve tried before. So far, I’ve been there once time, at 2 donuts before. There’s so many choices and I can’t remember all the names, I should jot down all the names next time, buy all and try it all. You can ask the staff to pick all the recommended one for you.

I’ve tried the chocolate and cappuccino flavoured. Love them as they are very creamy in the inside. That day, I just ordered 6 for take away because there’s no place to sit already, so I took them to the food court.

One thing I don’t like about the location of the shop being in the basement, I prefer something bright like at the alfresco area of the mall where’s there’s inside and open air.

Anyway, various choice of donuts, some coffee and free wifi, nice.

Additional information for you, Big Apple Donuts and Coffee is Made in Malaysia. Big Apple is a nickname for New York City.
