Nice mash potatoes (Salad Bowl Cafe)

I am someone who loves mash potatoes a lot. If you think KFC mash potatoes is nice then you should try this. This cafe is located at Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling. If you plan to head over there, you better pray for a parking space available because it would be quite a nuisance looking for parking over that area. According to its Facebook page, it is an Asian Fusion restaurant. So why they name it Salad Bowl? Maybe because their signature dish is their salad. They offer a wide range of salad so if you are a salad lover, you can head down there and give it a try too.

Clam chowder (RM5)

First up is the clam chowder. The price of the clam chowder is just RM5 which I feel its cheap. The soup is tasty and not too thick, so just nice. The chef is also very generous with the clams. Next, I ordered the bangers and mash. Basically, its sausage and mash potatoes. I forgot the price for the rest because I forgot to take a picture of the menu.

Bangers and Mash

This is my favourite because I really like the mash potatoes. If you like KFC's mash, for me, they are too soft for a real mash. So I personally do not consider KFC's as a real mash potatoes. This mash is quite smooth and creamy. The mash is not lumpy and the creamy taste is very tasty. This is the mash that you can eat without any gravy. 

Carbonara Fettucine

 For main course, I ordered a Carbonara Fettucine. The fettucine is not as springy as I expected. The sauce is creamy enough but a little bit too greasy to my liking. I could not quite remember the price for the bangers n mash and the pasta but the total is under RM40. Overall, I would say you can get good food with extremely reasonable price over at Salad Bowl.

Burger craving at Two Buns

The burger scene in Penang has quieten down since 2014 I would say. There is not so much hype like it used to be. So, i came across this burger joint while i was travelling along carnarvon street, The name of this burger joint is  "two buns". It is located at carnarvon street which is heading to prangin mall.

Two Buns

It is quite a small place but the interior is quite nice. It is a very hippy place i would say. The beverage menu is hangin on the wall while the food menu is on the counter. Their choices are not many so it is relatively easy for me to choose.  As it was my first time, so i chose the most basic burger which was the "classic beef".

The menu

Thankfully, during my visit it was not too crowded hence i just waited for like 10 mins. Oh btw, i forgot to mention that this was actually my 2nd visit because my 1st time there, they have too many orders and the waiting time was too long for me but kudos for the cashier for informing ahead. The classic beef is RM13 and i also opted for the set which is add on just RM5 and you can get fries plus a can of soft drink.

A closer look

 So now lets move to the burger. The bun is fresh, from the texture, it is not too hard and it was made just nice. For the classic beef, there are of course beef patty, lettuce, cheddar, tomato, pickles, ketchup and mustard. As a basic, the beef patty was not too dry so it was good. Maybe because i ordered the most basic so the sauces are only mustard and ketchup so it is nothing too special but overall it was quite good. One thing i like about two buns is they mustard for you to use. So i ate the fries with mustard cause mustard is my favourite. I would definitely come back again to try their others and hopefully their signature.
