Hillside Ah Soon Char Koay Teow, Tanjung Bungah, Penang.

AH SOON CAFE

If you are not familiar with the Hillside at Tanjung Bungah then this would be another "makan" place for afternoon session. As this place operates from 11am to 7pm except Tuesday (Closed).

This has became one of the tea break or late lunch places whenever we are nearby this area. They offer some varieties of food such as :

Toasted bread with butter and kaya

Sometime we will order this as the bread always toasted to crunchy texture. 

 Half boiled eggs

 Char Mee

Char Instant Noodles

Char Koay Teow

You can opt for no egg in your char mee, char instant noodles or char koay teow which will cost you RM4.50 only. If with egg, it will cost you RM5 per plate and for the big served, it will cost RM7.50 per plate.

Koay Teow Thn'g - RM4

Sometime I will choose to have the Koay Teow Th'ng which has a generous of fish balls, fish cake slice and also pork slice and vegetables. However, the soup base is a bit mild in tastes. If you like the thickening soup base of person then this might not be your choice.

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict:

It is quite a nice place for a quick grab. However, sometime you might face full house normally over the weekend. It is operated as a family business. All the family members are very friendly. All of the char koay teow, char mee and char instant noodles are using charcoal fire to cook. And cook will change from time to time. 

The Hillside Cafe Bar and Restaurant @ Hillside, Penang.

During a rainy morning, we decided to step into this cafe for our late breakfast cum lunch. You can park your car in front of the restaurant but during our visit its all fully occupied so we have to park opposite the road. 

Service was very fast and efficient. We were welcome by the waitress and chose our favour table and seated. Then we were being told that they served breakfast and lunch from the menu. So we browsed through the menu for sometime and proceed with our orders.

Menu

After order our food, I just have the chance to look around the environment of the cafe. It was quite a nice place. Cosy I would said with the soft music played all the time during our dining there. Both my gal and I quite enjoy it. We felt its quite relaxing. Apart from that both side of their walls of hang lots of photos that took from Siem Reap and China. Which recall our Siem Reap two years back. 

Following were some of the photos of the cafe:

Hubby loves the lightning design.

While waiting for the food being served, you could read some magazines provided by the cafe. There also have free wifi if you need it.

Cappuccino and flat white - RM9 (each)

We ordered cappuccino and flat white as our drink. 

The Works - RM22.50

Basically it's a big breakfast to me. This is my gal meal. She has been pestering me for a home cooked western breaky for quite some time but still did not have the chance to make her favourite so I asked her to try The Works which consisted of two sunny eggs, strip of bacon, a toast bread, baked beans, sausages, grilled tomatoes and butter.

Half way through her meal, she is like Ms. Santa, giving away some food for hubby and me. She told us that this was a big breakfast and she was too full! 

Cafe Burger - RM16

Hubby opted for the cafe pork burger. It served with the side dish like fries, tomato sauce and salad. 

Hubby commented that the pork burger is tender and juicy. 

Breakfast Bap - RM 15.50

Basically it is a toasted English muffins with bacon, lettuce, tomatoes and sauces served with salad on the side. Love the toasted muffins. Very crunchy toast. That goes well with the ingredients inside.
