Nasi Lemak @ Four Leaves Café at Gama Supermarket Penang

Having a meal at a crowded Coffee Shop with a baby is no fun especially if you also have a toddler around. So this fine day, while shopping my wife say, let have lunch at the Four Leaves Café at the Supermarket, I took the option of going with the flow, so I Said ok.

Now, Four leaves is a bakery at Gama Supermarket in Penang Island. A good but pricy bakery, but my eldest is addicted to their Double Cheese Bun. They also operate a small Café at Gama Supermarket, a bit worn, pricing is ok, food is also ok.

I had their special Nasi Lemak, (good) my wife took the Fish and Chips (nothing Special), and then order another Nasi Lemak. Eldest have a Mushroom Soup (Normal) and Double Cheese Bun, Number 2 have a Sandwich, and Baby have her usual Mum Milk.

The Nasi Lemak which is their signature dish, is serve with 2 pieces of Chicken Curry, 1 piece of Potato, ½ a boil egg, slice of cucumber and fried ikan belis, Per Portion cost around RM7+, if I am not mistake, fairly reasonable price for a aircon café. So if you want to eat in aircon comfort and have a fairly good Nasi Lemak, this is the place for you.

This restaurant which has open around one year ago is a single story semi detach house in the Hillside area of Tanjung Bungah, and is one of the many restaurants that has mushroom up in the area serving Hillside, Concord, Azuria Apartments, and the Boon Siew Flats and New Housing Estate area in the past few years. Patron consits mainly of the locals, as well as customers from the 5 International Hotel along the Main Tg Bungah Road, and the Tunku Abdul Rahman College.

This restaurant has a nicely laid out garden and decoration, think survivor / bali look and you will get the picture.

The food was spicy in general, and adequate, not exceptional and to me pricey, however I could have miss out their specialties or it was the Chef off day. We had the Thai appetizer, Crispy pork knuckle, seafood otak otak, among others. Pictures did not turn out too well, as it was quite dim in the restaurant. Below are the adequate photos. There were around 20 other customer in 3 other tables that night. This Restaurant have limited seating capacity.
