My Recreation Time: Toh Soon Cafe

Lately, we's like to search for Penang eateries and I found a famous cafe online, it was introduced by my friends few months ago but I forgot, this cafe visited by our Penang CM Lim Guan Eng, I think this is the reason makes it famous.

The shop should hard to find, it is located at a small lane along of Campell Street, when you are walking/driving along Campbell Street from the entrance gate, you just need to keep on looking to your left hand side. It should be on the first small lane on left, and there you can find a lot of people waiting to serve or standing by the table for their turn.

We arrived to the cafe at around 9:15am and there were a lot of people standing in queue to wait for their seat. Seeing so many people, SL asked me to decide whether wait or leave (I know he doesn't want to wait), and I choose to wait, it took about 30 minutes to wait for a table available for us, and there were people to come, their customers seem never stop.

Due to too many customers, waitress didn't really notice us and we waved to her for about 10 minutes until our order get placed, then there was another waiting period for our order served. While waiting for our order, we decided to have a pack of Nasi Lemak on table because YY recommended it, but I asked SL to choose the spoon carefully because I witnessed those spoons dropped by waitress accidentally to dirty land and she picked them up again to place on the table for customers collection. Anyways, I don't like their Nasi Lemak because it is too spicy to me.

After about 15 minutes wait, our order served but they forgot my drink, I saw tables around us all were having steamed bread but I remembered YY told me they famous with toasted bread, I don't know what's happened with their toasted bread, but I had no complain since everyone takes steamed bread as well. We ordered a peanut butter and a kaya bread with two eggs, I think their peanut butter is quite special which is different with normal peanut butter. Their bread reminded me my young time because it is old time bread, it is not replacible by Gardiner or Hi-5. However, I don't really enjoy steamed bread because it tasted weird to me, I still prefer toasted bread.

In conclusion, we think their bread is just normal and we can't find any reason that makes them famous except it visited by CM Lim before.
