7 years later and I found myself walking with SP along the lower floor of the shopping mall. Who would have thunk.
We had dinner at Old Town, a quaint little coffee shop with old style chairs and tables. The ambience would have been really nice had there been walls. Instead the coffee shop is in the middle of the floor, under/beside the escalator.
SP had their famous white coffee. I can't help but suspect they used the same instant 3-in-1 coffee packs that we find in supermarkets. I was not impressed. We also ordered their "famous" kaya and butter toast. Again we were left wanting. The toast was cold with thick chunks of butter and a layer of kaya.
For the main course I had the curry laksa. It looked good but didn't taste as good. It was much too oily and lacked the creamy curry sensation. The yellow noodles were undercooked.
SP had the rendang chicken rice which was basically nasi lemak. It was ok, but nothing exciting.
Our high level of expectation may be because we have another "old town" coffee shop to compare. It's located in Amcorp Mall, KL and their toast and coffee are exceptional.
Would we visit Old Town again? Maybe for some toast and coffee... maybe.

"Queensbay, the largest and longest (why longest when it's already the largest?) shopping mall in Penang."
our nation has a syndrome that i will call 'the most-est syndrome'. the tallest flagpole, the biggest flag, the largest roti canai etc. queensbay is just being patriotic!
