Obanhmi
Last but not least I have to make the disclaimer that I have never been to Vietnam and I have certainly not tasted any of the original banh mi on the streets of Vietnam.

Siam Road Char Koay Teow
Nicest Char Koay Teow in Penang. One can either 'ta-pau' or eat at the coffee shop opposite the stall.
I don’t mean to say that it’s terrible, but rather that it is not to my liking. I’m sure the long queue and uncle’s ever-growing popularity can attest to its taste.
Johor Road Hawker Food
The stall sells varieties of deep fried lorbak, tau kua, pig ears, sausages like any other lorbak stall in Penang but it stands out in its hae jie with fresh big prawns.
I didn’t like it very much. For one this is the blackish type; not the reddish kind that I prefer. The flavour is pretty mild and on the first 3 bites you would actually find it a bit bland.

Overall, the dining experience in Red Bean Bag had been positive. I loved the ambiance and the vibe but the food could be inconsistent.
Favola
FAVOLA, offers hearty Italian specialties such as pastas, pizzas and Venetian seafood specialties that create culinary experience that begins as diner walks through the open galleries into a rustic Italian settings.
Service can be a bit slow, even during non-peak (not full house) hours. You will get service, if you can get the wait staff’s attention.
That Latte Place
At That Latte Place, the eggs are poached using a specialized poaching equipment (I googled and I think it’s the The Calphalon Egg Poacher based on what I saw fleetingly while standing at the cashier) and hence the shape.

Just enjoy it as it is, and I trust that you will actually find it well, enjoyable!
Thai Express
Personally I thought that the prices paid were not bad for the taste, portion and location.
Ninja Joe
I do eat Ninja Joe burgers occasionally but with the recent explosion of gourmet burger joints in town I have found better satisfaction for my pork burger cravings.
