Chips & Chops - Batu Lanchang

Holar! THis is another new western food outlet... and believe it or not, the owner also owns Salsa restaurant...   :)

This is a more modest western food outlet, whose prices are more pocket-friendly and economical.

The ambiance is modern chic...with portraits of famous artists hanging on the white walls

 They also have an out-door area for smokers...

As mentioned, their prices are cheaper than the parent restaurant Salsa. Their set lunches are only RM10 nett!!!

 

We ordered two sets

 

 The set was the beef spaghetti Bolognese... which came with soup and drink

And the chicken chop

The main thing about this restaurant is that it's prices are kept affordable and economical. They even have a card programme going-on, where for every set lunch you order, you get a stamp. After collecting 20 stamps, you get a free set lunch/dinner.

For me, I am a true Salsa fan. I prefer dining at Salsa Restaurant anyday :) It's the best so far...

Coffee Lane

Thanks to foursquare, I've discovered a bunch of places in Penang I never knew existed and am itching to try out. Today, I managed to literally drag some people to accompany me on this quest to 'discover' new / old places in Penang.

It brought me to Coffee Lane at King's street. Once u step through these doors the smell of coffee just hits you like a waft of perfume at the perfume counter. Nice!
I proceed to order the Triple Decker club sandwich while my companions have already ordered Chicken chop and nasi lemak respectively.

They did this while I was looking for parking space, which is a huge problem!! Be forwarned that the parking limitations here is ridiculous. It's a wonder how this place can survive without parking availability here. Probably because those that patronize this place work around here. And they only need to make it there on foot.

Left: Ice-cream coffee      Right: Vanila ice-cream in my coffee

Anyway the owner comes over and add to my order a cup of ice-cream coffee as suggested by one of the comments on foursquare. Moments later, it shows up ... my Ice-cream coffee. Literally there's vanila ice-cream in my cup of coffee (RM8.50). The sweet vanila ice creams compliments the bitter taste of the aromatic coffee. But I would have liked a straw in my cup! And I needed to add sugar to the coffee for my liking.

The food arrives and it's ok.

Tripple Decker Club - one of the shop's specialty (RM9.90)

Nasi Lemak - also their specialty & Oriental Chicken Chop (top right)

Take a look :)


I would have liked a receipt from the guy who told me my total bill to pay. I suppose I was taken-a-back by him calculating on the calculator the amount I owed him. SHould have asked for a receipt.

Probably my first and my last time there, since parking is crazy-difficult and it closes at 8pm, and I've
settled my curiousity of the place, because i've been there already :)

Nice place, though.

Little Cottage - Cozy and inviting

I've been going to this restaurant called "Little Cottage Cafe" since i first discovered it in 2008/2009 (if i Remember correctly). It has since opened two outlets on the island. I frequent the Little Cottage 2 more than the original one due to parking constraints.

The one thing that's got me coming back each time is their lovely interior! Of course the food as well is the other main attraction. They're most popular for their set lunches :)

What I like about the menu is their chicken chop gravy....

Each set comes with soup of the day and bun roll with choice of tea or coffee and dessert. The dessert's usually a small cup of jelly/pudding of the day, hence the 5 set course....

Whether it's just for lunch or for a company function, this place offers food at affordable prices
