O'Briens Sandwiches @ Queensbay

I love smoked salmon! It's like yummy jelly in your mouth..  and everybody knows that I'll go for IKEA's smoked salmon every single time i'm down in KL.
To satisfy my cravings for smoked salmon back up here in Penang, well I have O'briens to turn too...

They have this salmon sandwiches which costs a bom RM15.50 for 2 slices ie. one square cut into 2 pieces.

But I usually go for the 'make your own sandwich' choice costing RM11 plus RM5 for smoked salmon. Total cost would usually come to RM16++
That way, I got to have my salmon and other meats too! :))

Look at the choice of dressings... and salads... and and and...  fillings... yummmmm

 My sandwich all packed-up nicely..

My salmon sandwich!!

Doesn't it look delicious!!

Piknik @ Nagore Road



I have read about this cafe a few times before and had always wanted to visit this small niche situated along Nagore Rd, Penang. It has opened its doors in one of Penang's heritage buildings (not too sure about the heritage status) ~ point being that the row of now-converted-shops were once a row of town-houses. My grand relatives used to stay in one of these houses a very very long time ago.

 Being in the blogsphere of FOOD and nothing but Food, in Penang, word comes around and goes around about new and up-coming cafes. Piknik was one of the cafes much talked about especially their famous waffles.

 We visited this place after work. It was on the 12th Oct. Yes, I still remember... the moment we all stepped-in, we were greeted by colourful ceiling lights and super comfortable sofa just beside the window.
 

I ordered the smoked salmon waffle and my friend ordered fried rice.

 The salmon was rather a very thin abeit small piece covering a layer of scrambled eggs, sitting together on a piece of waffle. The piece was quite alot for something of this portion. I was abit let-down. 

My friend's fried rice looked pretty simple with a sunny-side up. She wasn't too excited about her plate either. Sigh.
 

But the good news is, this place has cool decor! It has combined creative art with the vintage look to give it a pleasant feel. Kudos on the lights! I must say, using plastic baskets as lamp shades was a great idea! How inspiring...

I suppose the food from the menu selection could taste better, I just hadn't tried the rest yet.
Maybe i'd find something i'd like more... the waffles were ok... nothing to crow about though
