What’s for Lunch? – Black Kettle

Black Kettle is another café cum bakery located within Georgetown Heritage Site. I was always curious whenever we drove pass this shop as it was just around the corner of the fire station in Beach Street. We finally had the chance to step into the café on a lazy Saturday morning. Parking was still okay at that hour (around 11am) and we parked right beside their side door.

We ordered egg benedicts (RM24), soft shell crab burger (RM28), Matcha Latte (RM11) and Choco Freddo (RM12) before going off to take a look at their bakery section. They have varieties of pastry and bun and surprisingly the price was considered quite normal – same range like “Love a Loaf”.

We did not order anything from the bakery but ended up ordering Tiramisu (RM14) at their cake section. The cake was quite pricey and small in size though. Strangely the tiramisu was kind of dry at the Italian lady finger part. I think perhaps it was left too long there?

Finally our egg benedicts was served – it was really scrumptious with the runny egg yolk and thick layer of spinach underneath the egg & salmon. The only downside was the meagre amount of salmon provided in the layer. =P

Egg Benedicts!

Look at the Runny Egg Yolk!

And Thick Layer of Spinach!

The soft shell crab burger was next and we were pleasantly surprised at the size of the crab. It was huge and we could see the thick layer of meat when we cut it in half. Not to mention it was really juicy as well. DA YUM!!! The fries served together was delish as well with a hint of garlic flavor.

Look at how big this crab is!

Look at how thick the meat is!!!

As for the drinks, the Matcha latte had a strong Matcha taste rather than milky taste whereas the Choco Freddo was just okay.

One thing to note was prices in the menu are entitled for 10% service charge + 6% GST thus making the already high price even steeper. Our total bill came in at around RM104 with 2 main courses, 2 drinks and a cake. I guess this place was better suited for occasional indulgence.

Black Kettle is located at Beach Street, Penang.
