Subway, Sandwich Restaurant Chain From U.S is Now in Penang Malaysia

I tried roast beef sandwich, quite disappointed when seeing a few thinly sliced super dry roast beef. Though green veggies was quite fresh.
Subway located at ground floor E-Gate, directly across from Tesco. It's in a good location, you can't miss the sign.

There are also a few popular restaurants along the ground floor row E-Gate. Like Tao Restaurant, Hongkie Kopitiam Restaurant, Sushi King, Secret Recipe, Starbucks, FLIX Restaurant & Pub...

Tao Restaurant is another U.S chain restaurant, which is quite popular in New York and Las Vegas. It serves Asian style Japanese food, I suppose can classify as fusion food. Food is just okay there, I still prefer typical Japanese style food or else typical Chinese food. Weekends and nites serving sushi buffet. Crowds are there, for sure need to go early. http://www.taorestaurant.com/

Hongkie Kopitiam Restaurant at E-Gate is serving western style Hong Kong food. Food is just okay to me. You may find 99 cents food items on their morning breakfast menu, like french toast, toasted bread, nasi lemak, fried noodles, eggs, chicken porridge. It's worth the price to enjoy morning breakfast there during weekdays.

If you are craving for Hong Kong style western food, I would also suggest you to go Kim Gary Hong Kong Restaurant on the 3rd floor at Gurney Plaza, same floor as ToysRUs.

Well, now I am waiting for Burger King, Taco Bell in Penang..
