Vegetarian Corner : Brown Poodle Restaurant at Persiaran Midlands,Pulau Tikus, Penang

Brown Poodle, a vegetarian restaurant located behind Midlands One Stop shopping mall at Pulau Tikus, Penang, is another great place to explore for vegans and vegetarian lovers. The place could be easily found using Waze. That was how we managed to find the place after hearing about it from friends.

As the printing on the door implies, the restaurant does not serve meat dishes. They are all vegetarian meals.

Cute and adorable poodle plushies as decoration with dim lighting.

There are several set meals available which include a main course, soup, and a cup of hot drink. The prices shown in the menu are inclusive of all taxes, the net amount that we need to pay. Add-ons are available as well with a little top up.

Leaves decoration on each table which gives a relaxing feeling.

One of the main course set meals that we had was Tonkatsu rice set. The taste is great but the portion is a little big for a normal eater. 

Set E : Tonkatsu rice set RM21.90 nett

Another main course that we had was brown poodle burger platter.For burger lovers, this is a great meal. It is served with fries and salads with fruits and vegetables in it.

Set B : Brown Poodle Burger Platter RM22.90 nett

Third course meal was a charcoal looked type of burger. Black poodle burger platter, the given name for this dish, is similar to the dish above except that this burger is black while the other is brown. The plates are different too. The brown poodle burger platter was served in a square plate while the black poodle burger platter was served in a rectangular one. French fries and salad wise, they were the same. Content inside the burger were similar too.

The final main course that we had was classic fish & chips. The set came with a few pieces of vegetarian fish, fries, vegetables, and salad.

Set D : Classic Fish & Chips RM21.90

Inclusive in the set meal is tomato soup. Initially, we thought it was a mushroom or pumpkin soup. To our surprise, the soup is actually really nice and tasty. Not too sour which is something that we really liked about this soup. It comes with some small cheese sticks or was it small pieces of bread?

Lastly, the drinks that came with the set meal that we had were green tea and hot americano. The green tea came with free refill where the staffs will offer to refill if they spotted only little water left. Good and polite gesture from them. Also, note the spoon used. It was a long wooden spoon, something different from others.

The other drink was hot Americano which came with a smiley cookie. We had a choice to either have the Americano served before or after meal.

Smiley cookie to brighten up our days :)

There are a few bottles of plain water at the counter which customers can have them for free. There are also cups and glass at the counter. Just get the bottle to your table and pour it into a glass. Nice and cute bottle, really.

The utensils such as spoons and forks were put in a wooden box with their shop logo. Looks nice, tidy and clean.

Some of the menu and pricing written on the blackboard with chalk hung at the restaurant.

There are also desserts, snacks, and cakes available in the restaurant.

Some of the seatings available in the restaurant. Recommended to make a booking prior to visiting as the seats are pretty limited.

 The restaurant only accepts cash. That means no credit card service available.

Plants outside the restaurant. Nice to see the greens.

There are a few parking lots in front of the shop compound that are reserved for customers parking. So, no worry on the parking issue.

On a side note, I actually saw them on Groupon whereby the deals were really attractive. But unfortunately, when we decided to buy, the deals had already all sold out. Try to catch the deal for more bargains if you really would like to try this out at a great price. :)
