Top Taste Restaurant, Kampung Jawa, Bayan Baru (7 October 2019)


Top Taste Restaurant (GPS: 5.32683, 100.29424) is a coffee shop in Kampung Jawa, Bayan Baru. It occupies the corner shophouse along Lorong Kampung Jawa, at the junction of Solok Kampung Jawa 8. It is quite busy during lunch time, as its catchment includes the factories and offices of the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone.

Top Taste Restaurant has a wide range of hawker fare. This includes curry mee, char koay teow, wantan mee, economy rice, chicken rice, Hokkien mee, mee goreng, mee rebus, and Lor Mee, among others.

I used to go to Top Taste Restaurant for lunch when I was still working at the Bayan Lepas FIZ. But since I went full time writing this website, I have stopped coming here for a long time. It so happens that there's no food at home today, so I decided to go somewhere I haven't been for a while to have my lunch. Since it is still the Nine Emperor Gods Festival season, I wasn't sure whether the coffee shop is open, but I decided to take a chance. And luckily, it was open.

But it was also very crowded. I managed to share a table with someone, and later, when an empty table opened up, I moved over. I decided to order the char koay teow. I couldn't remember the last time I had it, must be years ago already.

Here's how it looks like:

How's the taste? To be honest, just okay. It comes with two big prawns, which I do appreciate, for the price of RM5 only. But the taste isn't particularly outstanding, just good enough to get by. Maybe the fire isn't sufficiently intensive.

About this website

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
