♥ Bear paw bun at 熊鱼食Kumamono, Queensbay Mall, Georgetown, Penang.

Date: 26 December 2014

Calling all the bear paw bun fans. Kumamono finally has their first outlet now in Penang, located at Queensbay Mall. For your information, they have another two outlets in Malaysia located at Sungei Wang Plaza, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur.

Kumanono had launched its official opening on 25th of December 2014. We were lucky enough to drop by the next day when we go for window shopping in Queensbay Mall. 

It is located at LG-87A in Queensbay Mall at the opposite of Jusco. It is situated next to Kenny Rogers and Taste Better, so in case you can't find it in the directory board you can search for these two shops. 

Only three super value combos are available:

Combo 1: Kuma's chicken + coca cola + curry fish ball/ cheezy wedges (RM 10.90)

Combo 2: Karage crispy chicken/ spicy chicken + coca cola + curry fish ball/ cheezy wedges (RM 13.90)

Combo 3: Oishii fish fillet + coca cola + curry fish ball/ cheezy wedges (RM 13.90)

If you don't want to opt for combo value set, you can order only the KumaBun. How to make your order?

Step 1: Select your favorite KumaBun: Milk/ Brown sugar/ Whole Grain

Step 2: Select your choice of meat: Kuma's chicken/ Karage crispy chicken/ Karage spicy chicken/ Oishii fish fillet

Step 3: Select a sauce: Tarta sauce/ cheese sauce/ sesame sauce/ black pepper sauce

Then, you are done! You can also order side orders or drinks at your own preference. All the prices are stated and shown below.

We ordered a combo 3, oishii fish fillet with brown sugar KumaBun and cheese sauce. As for the side order, we decided to go for curry fish ball instead of cheezy wedges. 

They steamed the KumaBun and fried the fish fillet only after we placed the order. And so some waiting time is expected but we like it this way. The brown sugar KumaBun is really soft and filled with brown sugar aroma. We are so in love with this bun. 

Look at the generous amount of cheese sauce. It goes super well with brown sugar KumaBun and fish fillet.

The oishii fish fillet, however, a little bit crispy at the outside and tender in the inside. It would be perfect if the outer crispy skin isn't too oily. But in overall, we still like this and will definitely come back for more. 

The curry fish balls are not too spicy. However, they are not as bouncy as what we expected. 

Before we left, the staff informed us that there will be new flavor of KumaBun, such as yam and strawberry KumaBun launch in the future. And we also received a 20% discount voucher for our next purchase, valid until 15/1/2015. So kind of him.

Total damage: RM 13.90. A very pleasant dining experience. Not to forget to mention, seats are very limited. Hence, the concept of Kumamono more for take aways order.
