Four Leaves Cafe
I drove down to town to pickup Fred who came over from the mainland at the
jetty. We would later meet a bunch of friends at night to see off Junjie who
was going back to another state.
It was 2.30pm. The weather was extremely hot. 10 minutes later,we find
ourselves at the Four Leaves Cafe at the Gama Complex for a late lunch.
Entrance.
The entrance of the place is located
beside the main entrance of the
complex itself. From its look, one
can tell it's one of those many
localized 'cafes' serving the usual
local food with a higher price in
exchange for a better presentation
and yes, air conditioned environment.
Interior.
Nothing in particular to point out
about the decor.

Quite a nice shot, too bad the back
lighting spoiled the photo.
Me
This is my 5th shot. People around me
was starting to look.
Fried Garlic Rice w Spicy Chicken.
Price : RM6.90
It was today's special, so each of us had one of these. The rice is fried mildly
with garlic, it's not so heavy in the taste, but it's enough to make a decent
garlic rice. The chicken is fried and soaked with some spicy and sourish sauce.
Kinda goes well with the rice. Not too spicy but a bit sourish.
Hokkien Char
Price : RM6.90
Your typical Hokkien Char from the
hawkers served in a mini wok. It
tastes utterly average and it may
have more meat than a usual plate
from the hawker, but the whopping
price of RM6.90 do not do justice at
all.In addition to that, it comes with
some disgusting sauce.
Disgusting Sauce
(comes with Hokkien Char)
On the left would be soy sauce. On
the right would be disgusting sauce.
Common sense tells me it's sambal,
but after tasting it, it's disgusting
sauce to me.
Jelly / Agar-agar Thingy
Price : Free
I am not into jelly or agar-agar. So I
have no comment on it. After all, it is
free. Still, it looks like frozen urine to
me.
Overall, Four Leaves Cafe has been around for quite sometime. Its rice dishes
(fried rice + chicken, garlic rice, nasi lemak) are not bad and it only costs less
than RM10.00 to enjoy a no-sweat meal. However, keep away from the
western food and the hokkien char. They are just average. And yes, keep
away from the disgusting sauce as well.

Introduction from Frederick Sim
Hello, This is Frederick Sim here, you may refer to me as Fred, Freddy, Sim or you may prefer my another nick, Diaz. I am quite surprised that JC invited me to this Sex Blog... i mean Food Blog.
Of course, i accept it. I mean i am not the professional food journalism type that appear on The Star or other magazines, but i enjoy eating, eating it's 1 of my hobby, just like having hot fetish sex with food. You will get what i mean!
Well most of the time i will be accompanied by JC to taste the food and give comment/review on it, i do also cover the mainland part. We will take picture for reference and post it on the blog, talk about pictures, eh i also lack of DC (Digital Camera), so i gonna use my Nokia 7610, the first megapixel phone to capture.

Look at that, ain't that phone looks so classy and cool? i leave that question to you. I do also got another backup phone for better photo quality: The Nokia N70. But i need to get it from my sister. In the nut shell, that's much about myself on The Glutton Monkeys and i will start to share our food review/comment to the blog.

Introduction from JC
Yo, wassup. Jermaine or JC here, whichever you wanna call me. This blog is about my opinions on food that I find and eat all over Penang, Malaysia. This is not a food review blog cause I do not think I have the experience or qualifications to do so, but it's pretty much like it.
And food preferences varies from individuals, therefore there's never a definite answer to one.
But, I do obsess about food and that's why this blog is created to record my experience and opinions on the food I take. I don't have a working digital camera (my nikon is dead) but I would be using my n70 to snap up photos. After all, I think it would be awkward if I started photographing the food with an actual camera...so a camera phone would do fine, I guess.
