Wembrey Park Gurney Plaza

*** Latest update as at 11 Jan 2010 - Wembrey Park has since ceased operation and replaced by another restaurant ***


I have read some reviews about Wembrey Park at the 7th floor of Gurney Plaza and most of the reviews weren't exactly that great.

We happened to be at SenQ, Gurney Plaza so we decided to grab a quick bite at Wembrey Park since it was just next to SenQ.

Wembrey Park is your higher end 'kopitiam', something like Old Town. They serve toast, rice sets, noodles, sandwiches, pasta, some finger food, a variety of coffee and tea, smoothies and shakes etc.

It was 5-ish and it wasn't exactly time for dinner yet so we ordered some drinks, toast and a noodle.

Kon Low Steamed Chicken Koay Teow (Dry) RM6.90

Kaya Butter Coffee Toast RM2.80

Hot Soya Milk with Dumplings RM4.50


Silk Tea (Hot) RM3.50


Spice White Coffee (Cold) RM4.50


We chose the coffee because we were told by the waitress that it is prepared with spices e.g. nutmeg etc. However, the spice was quite subtle and we couldn't quite taste it.

The Silk Tea was definitely better than the coffee and worth a try if you like milk tea.

The Kaya and Butter Coffee Toast was quite a let down. The bread was a bit too thick. I still prefer the toasts from Old Town.

The Soya Milk was served steaming hot and was quite good but the only setback was the peanut dumplings. The peanut filling was not very fresh.

The Kon Low Steamed Chicken Koay Teow was surprisingly quite good. The koay teow was springy and the Kon Low sauce was fragrant with garlic oil, dark soya sauce and sesame oil with a very generous serving of steamed chicken.



The ambiance was quite nice with comfortable leather (or PVC) armchairs etc. They did mix up my tea order but generally service was quite okay. The total bill came to RM24.40 including 10% service charge.

Home's Cafe White Coffee


Orange White Coffee RM3.40
Honey Lemon RM3.20

Home's Cafe is apparently the "off-spring" of Lian Thong coffee shop which is claimed to be one of the oldest coffee shops in Malaysia. Lian Thong's origin is in Ipoh and Home's Cafe has just joined the likes of 'modern' coffee shops which has sprouted in Penang recently (e.g. Old Town, Roti Bakar Kopitiam, Island Red Cafe, Georgetown, White House Coffee, Mainstreet etc.)


It has just opened at the new D'Piazza Mall, a stone throw away from Sunshine Square and Mayang Mall. The ambiance is cozy with marble top round tables normally found at traditional coffee shops.




They serve most of the usual food that you will find at 'modern' coffee shops with some variations e.g. Nasi Lemak, Prawn Mee, Assam Laksa, Curry Mee, Ipoh Hor Fun, Tom Yam Cintan Noodle Soup, Western fares e.g. Chicken Chop, Fish & Chips, Toasts and Eggs etc. They also serve a variety of flavoured white coffee, ice blended drinks etc.

Prawn Mee RM5.90

Ipoh Hor Fun RM5.90

The Prawn Mee was full of flavours and is worth a try. As for the Ipoh Hor Fun, I still prefer the Old Town version.

The Orange White Coffee was a special twist from the normal white coffee. Definitely worth a try.

Home's Cafe signature instant white coffee is also sold at supermarkets.
