Had an out of town dinner… Literally out of town — Penang.

I was there on a business trip and managed to try out this place called Breeks Cafe at Queensbay Mall. It was a hectic and tiring day. I wasn’t really in the mood for food but was feeling hungry. I was looking around for some place nice when I came across this Breeks Cafe.

To be honest, I can’t resist anything that has got mushroom and the Pasta Mushroom Cream Sauce listed on the signboard outside the outlet just grabbed my attention. Went in, sat down and waited for someone to take my order, which sadly, too a while. Somehow, no one really noticed my until I started waving my hands (almost frantically).

Ordered the pasta and some calamansi drink. I was expecting the calamansi drink to be something like the lime & sour plum juice, so I was kinda surprised that it turned out to be just some green cordial drink. Nothing to shout about.

About 15 minutes after I placed my order, my pasta came. I had to wait for a few minutes before I could dig in… Because no one had set up my table. No fork. No spoon.

Was the pasta worth the wait? Well… Yes.

The mushroom cream sauce is thick… Really thick and creamy. Just the way I like it. I had expected it to be just some watered down cream of mushroom soup added with mushroom bits, so I was surprised when the pasta arrived and the sauce looked really yummy.

Pasta was cooked just nice. It was piping hot. What else can I say…?

Will I go back for another round? Well, if I’m ever in Penang, it’s an affirmative Yes!
