Breakfast with Hubs

I have been craving for the roti bakar in Bayan Lepas area. I couldn't make it on weekdays due to working and massive traffic jam. But weekend was not a good idea either cause hubs too lazy to come all the way here to eat breakfast. I've been dwelling with the idea for so long I don't know when it will come true. But thank god my prayer was answered this morning. This morning was the second time hubs and I had our breakfast together on a weekday morning. I've told him the idea last night and he's ok with it. So he came a lil earlier than usual to fetch me to work. You must be wondering why he has to come earlier, what more to fetch me. No, we are not married yet and No we are not leaving together.

Which coffee shop do I refer to? None other than the old famous coffee shop selling roti bakar in the morning and fish head noodle in the evening. It's situated along the highway opposite Phase1. The coffee shop will not be obvious as its land is slightly lower than the roads. Furthermore, with so many cars park in along the road and some in front of the shops, you'll have to be on the look out.

Here's a picture I crop from their website


"Joo Leong Cafe, is well known by Penangites for its servings of delicious breakfast at reasonable prices for over 50 years. Its famous toasted bread, wipped with butter and served together with half-boiled eggs are the favourites among its patrons."

And so the menu for my breakfast today is as follow:
1 Milo ice
2 half-boiled eggs
2 slices of toasted bread, wipped with butter
1 pack of nasi lemak

A very hearty breakfast with hubs. While he has the same menu, the only different was he opted for a hot Milo. Here's the breakfast we had and tapao-ed for friends, a total of RM19.60.

1 hot Milo
1 Milo ice
4 half-boiled eggs
12 roti bakar
5 pack of fried noodles
1 pack of nasi lemak

At the evening, patrons can enjoy their famous seafood porridge / noodles at Joo Leong Cafe. A wide variety of fresh seafood can be hand picked by patrons to cook their desired bowls of seafood porridge / noodles.


You have a choice of fish, prawns, "water frog", meatball, fishball, pig intestines, fish maw, jelly fish, squid, and many other seafood with I couldn't recall anymore. We had personally tried the seafood noodles quite a number of time. Each time we went home with a satisfied stomach. I think the price is reasonable, around RM10+ per bowl . I believe it can go up to RM20+ per bowl, depending on the 'ingredient' you choose but I'm not so sure bout the exact price. I have yet to pay for the meals we had there, thanks to hubs.
