8AM Hainanese Cafe at Kimberley Street, Georgetown, Penang

8AM Hainanese Cafe at Kimberley Street, Georgetown, Penang is a new breakfast and lunch venue offering a menu that blends elements of Hainanese and Thai. This simple, casual little cafe occupies both the ground and upper floor.

As for the menu, the cafe does not have a large one, just two pages featuring dishes nicely curated with freshness and flavor. For those looking for bread, there are several to choose from – butter & kaya toast, polo bun, Thai-style steamed bread, and sandwiches. There is also a special variation called the charcoal toast, served with Thai tea kaya.

For a breakfast dish, definitely go for the Thai Pan Eggs (Khai Krata), prepared with two eggs, minced meat, and two types of sausages. Served piping-hot at the table, this is a wholesome and tasty dish. You will probably want some toast bread to go with it.

The cafe offers a set menu for this Thai Pan Eggs dish, and for an additional RM2, you can treat yourself to a choice of drink (Hainanese Kopi / Thai Milk Tea.).

Mixing everything together with the accompanying chili sauce can be quite enjoyable.
