Thoughts: Hidden along a row of renovated old shops on Mutri Street is "Mews Cafe", the Café offers western breakfast with Coffee AND was told different menu for lunch and dinner sessions. The Cafe is at the entrance to "Muntri Mews" which is a 4-Star Hotel with room prices of around rm$450 to rm$900! 
For early breakfast today is a rm$25 "煙燻鮭魚炒蛋 Smoked Salmon Scrambled Egg" that comes with lightly toasted sourdough breads, sautéed tomato, smoked salmon and scrambled egg plus a mediocre cup of rm$13 "卡布奇諾 Cappuccino". Food and Service is OK, but the homey heritage dining area decoration is quite and comfortable. Lunch and Dinner menu are local favourites like 沙嗲 Satay, 蝦菜煎餅 Cucur Udang, 咖哩麵 Curry Mee, and Nyonya Nasi Lemak BUT it is more comprehensive then this few items (see below). AND Netizens raved about the must-try "Helen's Curry Mee" offered by Mews Cafe.
Mews Cafe does offer a rather extensive choice of Malaysian street food delights:
  • Breakfast offerings includes 椰漿飯 Nasi Lemak, 印度煎餅 Roti Prata, 羊角麵包 Croissant, 日出法式吐司 Sunrise French Toast, Bircher Mewsli, 吐司 Mews Toasties and 雞蛋料理選擇 Egg prepared in several variants.
  • Light Bites offerings includes 蝦菜煎餅 Cucur Udang, 沙嗲 Satay, 水果羅惹 Fruit Rojak,  娘惹小金杯 Deconstructed Kerabu Pie Tee and 綠碗 The Green Bowl.
  • Main Course menu includes 娘惹椰漿飯 Nyonya Nasi Lemak, 仁當牛肉 Beef Rendang, 叁巴魚 Ikan Sambal, 馬來烤雞 Ayam Percik, 咖哩麵  Helen’s Curry Mee, 爪哇麵 Mews Java Mee and many more.
  • Dessert menu offers tempting choices such as cakes of the day, 印度奶茶焦糖布丁 Chai Creme Brulee, 法式吐司 French Toast, 百香果慕斯 Mews Passionfruit Mousse, 焦糖香蕉餡餅 Caramelised Banana Fritters and 椰糖西米露 Sago Gula Melaka.
Mews Cafe is a small 半露天咖啡館 semi- al fresco cafe at Muntri Mews with outdoor tables and indoor tables in a 19th-century 馬厩改建的精品飯店 horse stables-turned-boutique hotel along George Town’s historic Muntri Street.

Thoughts: One of the most popular 扁擔飯 Nasi Kandar location in Penang is this one called "Nasi Kandar Line Clear" which is located in a narrow alleyway along 檳城路 Jalan Penang, opposite the luxurious 5-star "George Penang Hotel". This Nasi Kandar is in an "outdoor setting" in a roof covered alley between 2 buildings, with long wooden tables and chairs for community dining. 
There are at least 5 known Line Clear Nasi Kandar Restaurant (with 2 more locations opening soon in 霹靂州太平 Taiping and 巴生北港 Klang North Port): 
Line Clear @ Penang International Airport (Penang Bayan Lepas)
The most basic recommended Nasi Kandar is a plate of 白飯 nasi puteh (white rice), 炸雞 ayam goreng (fried chicken), 煎蛋 telur dadar (omelets), 炒白菜 fried cabbage and 混合幾種咖哩醬 kuah banjir (the signature mix of gravies of this Nasi Kandar dish). Nasi Kandar Line Clear also offers other meat choices of 牛肉 beef, 羊肉 lamb, 魚 fish, 魷魚 squid, 巨型魚卵 giant fish eggs, and 羊腿 lamb shank, plus fresh 魚頭配秋葵 fish head with okra which is available from Breakfast to mid-night Supper. The restaurant is known its thick and flavorful curry sauce but a plate of 扁擔飯 Nasi Kandar with 2 or 3 meats can quickly go up to rm$40 or rm$50++. 
The word 扁擔飯 Nasi Kandar is literally translated as (飯 Nasi = Rice, 攜帶 Kandar = Carried OR Carried Rice), as the dish originated as a quick meal for 泰米爾穆斯林攤販 Tamil Muslim vendors who balanced containers of rice and curries on a 扁擔桿 Kandar pole. In the old days on the roads of Penang island, the Indian muslim vendors would carry (kandar) food on wooden poles to sell in the streets. AND over time, these vendors set up shop, and their humble stalls became the now-famous Nasi Kandar restaurants. 
Nasi Kandar Line Clear was founded in 1930's during the British occupation by 2 brothers Mr S. N. Sekandar and Mr S. N. Seeni Pakir, the shop has flourished over the years, despite its location in an alleyway and the prices staying unchanged for "almost" over a decade. The family business is now run by Seeni Pakir’s son, Mr Zainul Halam and his own children and nephews. 
Today's rm$21.50 Line Clear Nasi Kandar comes with 白飯 half-white rice, 炒白菜 fried cabbage, 煎蛋 fried egg plus a 魷魚 squid and interesting large 魚卵 fish eggs which looks nice and tidy on the plate but immediately became messy after topping with the mixed of thick curry and gravy! Choice of 鹹蛋 salted egg probably is a better choice than the omelets. BUT too bad did not try the "Line Clear Susu Lembu (新鮮牛奶 Fresh Cow Milk)" which is highly recommended by some Netizens.
