[Invited Review] Folks Cafe @ Lebuh Acheh, Georgetown, Penang (12) 5

[Invited Review] Folks Cafe @ Lebuh Acheh, Georgetown, Penang!

There is a new cafe in the heart of Georgetown, the UNESCO Heritage area called Folks Cafe. Folks Cafe is co-operating with Flash Back Guest House to provide the guests with breakfast, lunch & dinner. Folks Cafe is operated by two partners. They currently do not have any signboard yet. So, for the mean time, once you see the Flash Back signboard, you have reached Folks Cafe. As you drive from Cannon Street towards Acheh Street, turn left when you reach the T-junction. Folks Cafe is at your right. Find a parking space as soon as you turn right or you can try to find parking end of Cannon Street. Finding a parking space here is quite a challenge and expect to walk for a short distance if you can’t find parking near it.

Raja Uda Famous Kwong Wah Tom Yam Noodles @ Raja Uda, Butterworth, Penang!

Finally, KayaButter get our chance to taste the famous tom yam noodle in Raja Uda. We have been seeing a lot of this tom yam noodles in Instagram and Facebook. Actually there are two stalls in Raja Uda that are famous for tom yam noodles. We are actually looking for the tom yam soup that are thicker and hotter but we get to Kwong Wah Tom Yam Noodle or some write it as Kwang Wah or Kwong Hwa which is just after the Petronas petrol station and besides Kwong Wah Primary School. The other famous tom yam noodles is at Joo Seng Cafe which KayaButter hope to try next time.

Harvest Times Cafe @ Irrawaddy Road, Georgetown, Penang!

Harvest Times is another branch of Harvest In that has to be opened to accommodate their ever expanding customer base. Harvest Times is just a stone throw away from Harvest In. You will find a lot of similarity between Harvest Times and Harvest In. And this time the parking space in front of their restaurant is bigger and can accommodate more cars. There is more space for al-fresco dining at Harvest Times.

[Invited Review] Edo Ramen @ Gurney Paragon Mall, Penang (6) 6

[Invited Review] Edo Ramen @ Gurney Paragon Mall, Penang!

Goku Raku Ramen has been renamed to Edo Ramen with the introduction of their new menu effective on 7th April 2014. Edo Ramen is still under the same management team of Goku Raku Ramen and their menu has been simplified. Instead of a lot of different kind of foods and choices, the management team decided to streamline their choices in two types of meat served and four kinds of soups to choose from. They wish to be able to serve their famous ramen faster and more efficient, hence, reduced waiting time. And one big positive note is that the price has been adjusted LOWER despite all the increases in their costs. Well done! 🙂
