Love Nutrient Lao Jie Fang Java Terrace @ Gurney Drive, Georgetown, Penang.

Lao Jie Fang, a familiar construct mention inward the traditional confectioneries in addition to native local products inward Penang has ventured out of its park concern scope... opening a Coffee Shop (otherwise known every bit Kopitiam) at Sunrise Gurney, a novel commercial edifice correct side yesteryear side to Jalan Birch in addition to Gurney Drive. It serves upwards to a greater extent than or less Malaysian/ Singaporean staples such every bit Kaya Butter Toast, Nyonya Kuih, Nasi Lemak etc. It sure as shooting reminds us of establishments similar Old Town in addition to Papa Rich except that it offers slightly dissimilar diverseness every bit compared to the duo. Might move skillful house for a quick afternoon tea but the dishes were a tad also mutual amongst elusive character for us.



Golden Curry Chicken amongst Crispy Toast (Rm 12.90)


Signature Egg Nest on Toast (Rm 7.80)

The server recommended us to endeavor their signature Golden Curry Chicken amongst Crispy Toast but ironically, the Toast was non crispy at all; it was to a greater extent than of the soft-fluffy type inward the middle amongst difficult crust. But the Curry was alright in addition to the Chicken was fork-tender.... still.... simply an ordinary Curry Chicken amongst okay-average Toast. 

Signature Egg Nest on Toast has the potential, peculiarly on the gimmicky appearance; Eggs were served on a "nest" made of pastry skins in addition to baked to the electrical flow shape. We expected the Yolk to period of time out at the nudge of the fork but it did non happen. The Egg was overcooked in addition to the texture (together amongst the Toast) was a tad also dry out to our liking. The olfactory holding was in that place but it sure as shooting lacked the "X" factor.
