First morning in Penang and the starting meal must be a traditional Southeast Asia breakfast! Based on the recommendation from a colleague who is from Penang, let's proceed to OO White Coffee Carnarvon Plus!
Do note that there is another nearby branch which is non-air-conditioned but without the plus name. Prices would be cheaper but also a lot more crowded with customers.
Interior of OO White Coffee Carnarvon Plus; spacious!
Our order list - I shall share the menu later. Aside from coffee, one thing I can't resist ordering for breakfast in Malaysia would be their traditional toast.
Classic picture of a traditional breakfast set in Malaysia and Singapore! Of course, lazy Alex was super pleased to find soft-boiled eggs that had already been peeled.
White Coffee - what better way to start the day than a hot cup of coffee! This hand brewed white coffee is the signature drink and it sure didn't disappoint; thick, frothy and definitely one of the best coffee I have had in recent years!
Soft Boiled Eggs - Alex said very good and you have to believe him as he orders soft boiled eggs very often. I don't really have them often as I am afraid they would give me the runs, given my stomach's sensitivity.
Signature Toast - spread with kaya and butter, it wasn't as crispy as expected, despite the look, although I did discern a nice, fluffy breadiness to the taste. Personally, the toast was just average given that the spread of both kaya and butter was a tad stingy. A pity.
Hokkien Mee - we decided to check out the hokkien mee which to us Singaporeans, would be considered as prawn noodle soup as hokkien mee to us means fried noodles.
Honestly, this bowl of soupy hokkien mee was very good; soup was rich but tasted more pork than prawns and the decision to have bee hoon was perfect as the strands of bee hoon effectively soaked up the flavor of the delicious broth!
And for a bowl that cost RM 11.0 (roughly about S$3.50), there were so many slices of pork! Please don't belittle the tiny prawns; it packed a punch of seafood goodness. Alex was so impressed; he started ordering hokkien mee when we visited other dining outlets in Penang.
