Minimalist interior breakfast & brunch restaurant that offers quite a variety of breakfast you could think of. Pretty insta-worthy for those who enjoys taking pictures.
Note: This is a self service restaurant so do remember to collect your orders and clean up your mess after you’ve finished your meal!
Fluffy Kid (RM 17)
Lightly seasoned, not too much wow factors about this but if you don’t feel like having carbs this is a pretty good option to go for.
Scrambled eggs were fluffy as promised however the diced luncheon meat was a little mushy. The side salad was crisp, fresh and delicious!
Like Burger Like Sandwich (RM 20)
One thing I love about this place is that that they don’t use regular white breads in their menu but hearty & healthy ones like this one right here, Purple Chia Seed Toast. The pork loin in the sandwich was pretty juicy.
Multigrain Toast (RM 14)
A simple yet filling choice for vegetarian diners. Generous spread of avocado with a sunny side up.
Didn’t tried any of their drinks because we wanted to go elsewhere for coffee.
Might probably visit this place again but not anytime soon.🤷🏻♀️
The guys who set about making their dream a reality in London is now available in Malaysia! I haven’t been to Genting Highlands for a pretty long time and I was pretty excited on trying what’s good in this restaurant after all the hype.
Chilli Lobster served with Signature Brioche – RM 165
They’re serving fresh Canadian lobster steamed or grilled to our preference with a choice of clarified butter or B&L’s famous lemon & garlic butter.
The sauce was delicious with just the right amount of heat but it was a missed that the lobster was slightly overcooked. We had to order another round of those fluffy buttery brioche to absorb every last drip of the sauce.
The B&L Burger (168g) – RM 130
The B&L Burger, a combination of beef and lobster meat, topped with lettuce and Terragon & Truffle sauce.
Almost everything about this was good! Buns were fluffy and beautifully toasted, lobster was nice and firm however the patty was a little dry but well seasoned. One thing about this burger was the truffle sauce as it gave an extra oomph.
8 Steps To The West – RM 33South Carolina Tea – RM28
Alongside we ordered some cocktails as well. Both were pretty refreshing, but I personally preferred the South Carolina Tea because it wasn’t gassy.
The kitchen is constantly flying out with orders, I hope they’re able to maintain a consistency to it. Overall it was a great dining experience, the service crew was quite attentive and friendly as well.
I wanted a different food experience and perception here in Batu Ferringhi because I’m vexed with people telling me there’s nothing good to eat here and almost everything was overpriced or too touristy which then I decided to do some research on what’s good in Batu Ferringhi and loved by locals. After a few word of mouths and researches, I’ve got a good feeling this was something I’m looking forward on for this trip.
Charlie’s Burgers has been opened for 37 years and they’re also one of the top ten Burger Stalls in Penang! Their stall used to be beside Ferringhi Garden Restaurant until its recent restaurant expansion where they had to relocate further down the road on the left.
Upon arrival, it was just auntie alone at the stall and she asked us what we’d like to order. I told her I’m here for their best-sellers and signatures which she then suggested us to go for the Oblong Lambwith Egg & Cheese and Jumbo Hot Dog with Egg & Cheese.
Note: Order anything with Egg & Cheese!🍳🧀
Oblong Lamb with Egg & Cheese (RM 9)
Though to many it may look like any other regular burgers you could get from other burger stalls BUT here’s the thing, it’s not how it looks like that matters, in the end of the day its all about the flavors. The buns were nicely toasted, there wan’t too much sauce in it and the lamb patty was moist, juicy and barely gamey! The trick was the mint sauce that brings this burger to a whole new level. Coming from a person like me who isn’t too fond with red meat, this was something really enjoyable and I’d highly recommend.
Jumbo Hot Dog with Egg & Cheese (RM 7)
The hotdog has that nice light crisp with a juicy munch to it, beautifully and thinly wrapped with egg and melted cheese hugged in a bun makes it an absolute comfort food.
I really enjoyed the freshly ground black peppers generously sprinkled on giving some nice heat and flavors to it!
To enjoy it even more with some more distinctive flavors, don’t be shy to ask uncle or auntie for a bottle of mustard then squeeze some of these on it!
Uncle, can I have another one please?
Salmon with Egg & Cheese (RM 10)
This burger was really remarkable! But for as weird-sounding as salmon burgers are, they are so extremely good and hearty which was also really nice for anyone who’d like to go for a more lighter yet satisfying alternative. The sauces combination may look crazy but it works! Salmon steak was so nice and tender. Would you ever expect this from a burger stall?
When uncle Charlie arrived, we had a chat on what got him wanting to open a burger stall and shared a little of his background story. After working different types of jobs, he strive to be his own boss as he was tired of working for someone which was why he started his own business.
“If you don’t build your dream, someone will hire you to build theirs!”
Here’s a piece of advice from uncle Charlie: As crappy as what we millennials often struggle or facing with right now, there’s always hope and we have to learn to stand our ground because the future is in our hands. We can beat the system.
Time does flies when you’re with the right company and good food. If you ever drop by Charlie’s Burgers, buy uncle Charlie a beer and have a good conversation with him while having some super burgers.
