It is worth checking out the Mushroom Chicken Pie (RM9.80). Tony serves the mushroom chicken pie on a plate with mushroom carrot soup.  Topped with golden brown crust garnished with pastry stars, the pie with a bechamel base comes with a filling of chicken, shitake mushroom, carrot and herbs.

You can also enjoy the pie alongside a portion of salad, and the combination is priced at RM12.80.

Another dish to accompany the meal is the Mushroom Carrot Soup. Many love the flavor and creamy texture of the soup prepared with mushroom, carrot and celery. There is a breadstick to nibble along with the soup.

If pasta is on your mind, then check out the Spaghetti Bolognese, Fettuccine Carbonara, Penne with Clams and the tomato-rich Linguine Napoletana.

The hearty Linguine Napoletana is prepared with beef, mushroom, and hint of garlic and bay leaves. It comes with a spoon of grated parmesan cheese, and two pieces of baguette which could easily been toasted with more crispiness. If you don’t take beef, go for the chicken version.

Don’t miss the Potato and Green Salad with cucumber, tomatoes, creamy potatoes, assorted mixed greens and umbra fruit. In Penang, one can find the sour umbra in the rojak (fruit salad) but rarely in a vegetable salad.

Surprisingly, the combination of ingredients and the creamy sauce turns out very refreshing.

If you have a sweet tooth, you can find some varieties displayed in the fridge. From Russia with love is the Napoleon Cake, a buttery and creamy creation. The moist and soft cake with several lightly browned layers and cream comes out fine even prepared without the usage of alcohol.
