Willing to pay premium price for a decent meals is an idea adopted by local communities as their lifestyle is catching up with developed country.

By checking out their Facebook page targeted on Malaysia, they have poured sizable fund into effort making a successful marketing effort,Johnny Rockets MY Facebook Page


If it was not because of it heavily marketed on Facebook, author would not be able to learn newly opened restaurant at Gurney Paragon mall. Came to know about Johnny Rockets through Facebook's sponsored post while scrolling the News Feeds.
Smoked House Single


Offer much complex flavors and bun types. Burger lovers definitely must try.



I wonder why drinks was not included in a package that cost RM27.00 ? Ordered an average size smoke house single burger.

It was a surprising experience acknowledging that there are few other restaurants rather than just Johnny Rockets. It was not just about Johnny Rockets restaurants,




Inside Urban Food Hall, Johnny Rockets are one of the restaurant operating under one name. 




Was not fancy about taking away, dining in with friends ordered a pizza package carrying the brand name Quiznos Cafe. The package contains a cold coke and cost not more than RM18.00 .

Classic Italian


The order was taken by selecting it at an ipad . While selecting, the staff were dancing with loud music turned on. It was a pleasant dinner.





First try Johnny Rockets burger, definitely using some juicy and quality ingredients. a memorable experience indeed. Saliva was all over the table till the floor.

Embark a trip from Sunway Carnival Mall Bus Stop to Penang's Gurney Plaza



Penang Rapid Bus Ticket

Public Transportation is always the ideal choice as to keep all the cash on the food expenses. There is a nice bus stop located just nearby Billion store and Sunway Carnival Mall. Many buses stopped here , take the bus showing " Jetty" . Ask the driver they know best ! From this point, the bus will take you to various bus stops before heading to Jetty. One of the bus stop is Hospital Seberang Jaya.



Rapid Bus from Sunway Carnival Mall to Jetty
Inside the rapid bus

Comfortable seats and air-condition equipped. One should always prepare enough coins before boarding as the bus driver would not have any spare money for big bank notes. 

Penang Jetty Walkway
On the way to Penang Jetty Waiting Place


It took one hour more or less depend on the traffic condition. As soon as one arrived the last bus checkpoint "Jetty", there are lots of buses parked at there. Follow the crowd to a passage and head to Jetty area. It was an amazing up and down route crossing sky bridge to get to the Jetty waiting place.



RM1.20 ferry ride to Penang
Pay for a ferry ride to Penang Island

Get your coins ready before entering to "Jetty's waiting place". The gate is not functioning well so put more coins. I have inserted more than RM 1.20 worth of coins. Queue up to get some old coins as the staff said the gate recognize old coins rather than the new coin. 



Ample seats for passengers waiting for next ferry. Rushing in once the yellow gate opened. Feeling nervous there would not be enough ferry seats being forced to wait another ferry. Relieved, the ferry able to get loads of passengers on board.

Glimpse on the other side of the land, Peneng here I come! (Actually Penang Laksa)

Toilets, eateries stall are available. The ferry transporting peoples and automobile.



Penang Bus 101


The most favorite bus of all the tourists. Rapid bus no. 101. Take you from the jetty all the way to Teluk Bahang. In the route, it pass Chulia Street, Komtar and Gurney Plaza. It takes more or less RM2.00 per trip.

Penang Beef Noodle

Walking down a short distance from the Weld Quey jetty to Chulia Street. There is a stall serving Beef Noodle and Fried Oyster with Egg.


Fried Oyster with Egg


Fairly easy and inexpensive one-day trip. Thank God and all the peoples. Spent RM 5.00 for a overwhelmingly fun trip. There is no fee taking ferry back to Butterworth / Mainland. Considering it was RM0.60 for a ferry return trip

Review Maggi Royale Penang Seafood Curry Flavor

Robert's Google+


The most advertised Maggi instant noodle flavor in Malaysia 2014



Maggi Royale Penang Seafood Curry Malaysia



They get it what Malaysian like to eat. Penang curry flavor instant noodle grows like a mushroom in a rain. Maggi, one of the oldest, top and most recognized instant noodle brand in Malaysia introduced not-so-surprised "Penang Seafood Curry flavor"


Everything has a beginning they could have get the inspiration from Mykuali Penang White Curry noodle. It was not saying they copy it from them but Mykuali in my opnion could be one of the pioneer in this flavor. Reminiscing the desire to taste what it like Penang curry flavor because not everyone has traveled to Penang and eat it iconic food.


Besides, unlike the common packaging by Maggi which is always 5 x 75g, they adopted the same packaging as Mykuali to use only 4 x91g instead. You would notice it slightly larger in size but the quantity has been reduced to 4 packets only.


I do not know you guys appetite but I had cooked two packets in order to satisfy my hungry. In this case, I would think twice to have two packets because they has increased 20 grams than normal 75g per packet.

Generally, I would say Maggi does have greater taste. Previously, they rolled out the Maggi goreng flavor, one of the best could outperform any other Maggi goreng in Malaysia. Now, they took initiative to get people buying their new flavor which is Penang Seafood curry flavor I guess to compete and retains some market share in instant noodle business. It worth to mention that they seem to have upgraded its instant noodle quality. It called "Maggi Royale" What a blessing day indeed !!


You will regret if you did not try this. As for the price for one big packet contains 4, it sells over RM7 definitely. I bought it at RM 7.99. It has been launched several months ago now it reached to East Malaysia where I have enjoyed it myself.
