Lately I have developed a fondness for the economy rice at this coffee shop. On today's visit, I had the gulai kiamhu kut, otak-otak, fritters and kuah banjir. Today's meal cost RM6.50, and was so satisfying. (On my previous visit, different item, I was charged RM8 but still enjoyed it.)

We visited BB once again, this time without our camera, as we didn't expect to be having lunch outside. It has been a very long time since I last had the chicken rice here, so I ordered it again, asking for a chicken drumstick and a stewed egg (lor1nui33). Meanwhile my wife ordered pan mee.
My chicken rice cost only RM3.80 and is good. It has been a long while since I tasted good chicken rice at such a low price. My wife's pan mee cost RM4.00 but she found it to be less than satisfactory.

It has been such a long time since I visited BB, so my wife and I decided it's time to give it another try. We remember that the Hokkien Mee there was quite popular, but we couldn't well remember the taste anymore.
On this visit, we ordered the Hokkien Mee, popiah and chee cheong fun.
From the look of it, all three items can be described as "not too bad". Taking a look at the photos above, I suppose you can even say that they look quite good. The Hokkien Mee did not disappoint me. However, perhaps my expectation for Hokkien Mee has grown a lot since I last took Hokkien Mee here.
That's because I do not find the BB Hokkien Mee that I had, for this particular visit, to be sufficiently fragrant. The taste is also okay, not isn't at the top three of my favorite Penang Hokkien Mee. I like it that it has a fair amount of prawns. Perhaps I am now spoilt, but I wish it also has spare ribs. Perhaps I went a little too late? I am not sure.
At the moment, the top three Hokkien Mee stalls for me, is Ah Soon Kor, Seng Lee Cafe and Sin Yin Nam Cafe. Will I return to try BB's Hokkien Mee again. I sure would. As I've said, it's not bad. But I need to return to it again, to find a reason if it could pose a challenge to the three favorite stalls.
As for the popiah and chee cheong fun, there is nothing much to say. In other words, they are okay but not particularly outstanding and would cause me to rave. It's of the expected taste. Here are the three items:

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
