Kumamono @ Queensbay Mall, Penang

Kumamono is FINALLY in Queensbay Mall, Penang! *excited x 999* I believe everyone of you would have seen this before, especially if you have been to Taiwan! Yes, I am talking about the super duper famous Kumamono (熊鱼食)! Fortunately for Penang people, we, no longer need to go all the way to Taiwan to eat this!

Kuma actually means Bear (熊) and Mono means Thing (物) in Japanese, so altogether would means "Bear's Thing". But I am not sure how the word - fish would ended up in there! Maybe it's like bear catching a fish! XD *wild imagination*

Kumamono - 熊鱼食 - 熊の食 - 熊手刈包

6 Different Types of KumaBun - Milk, Brown Sugar, Whole Grain, Yam, Strawberry, Squid Ink

 Currently, there are only Milk, Brown Sugar and Whole Grain available. The other 3 types of KumaBun will only appear during special occasion! Oh Wait, did I just mentioned Squid Ink?!

Kumamono Drinks

 Soft drinks, Refresh & Healthy series of drinks and Mango Tango drinks are among the choices of drinks. I think Kumamono is thoughtful enough to provides refreshing juice after such a luxurious meal! (Hey, we are talking about fish and bear paws you know! How luxury is that! LOL)

Just like their advertisement...

谁说鱼与熊掌不可兼得？？

(Chinese Proverb: You can't get Fish and Bear Paws together)

在 Kumamono 就可以两者兼得啦!

(You can get it in Kumamono!!)

Kumamono Menu

Basically you can get all the information in the menu. I think it is quite a simple and straightforward menu, which is easy for us to select. Sometimes too many options can be quite a headache too! Simplicity is the best!

Kumamono Kitchen

Kumamono is actually just a small shop that barely enough for the kitchen and a few seats. Their concept probably more towards those "Grab and Go", just like how they do it in the night market of Taiwan. Just wondering if they would consider to open one in our night market here? Haha

Kumamono - In Wrapping

This is how it looks in wrapping. It would be better if you could just eat on the spot as the wrapping tends to capture the vapor even though it is made with holes. You would not want to eat a soggy hamburger! As Kumamono is all mainly about the KumaBun, where it is way softer than mantou!

Kumamono - KumaBun imported from Taiwan

Ignore Jennifer from Silly Epiphany, she's local! XD

So yeah, you can tell that KumaBun is the main selling point. 

Centralized system from Taiwan that controls and maintains the quality of their KumaBun.

Kumamono - Thanks to Rachael Chin for the explanation

Kumamono - Thanks Darling Gwendolyn for accompanying me! HEHE!

Well, talking about globalization huh?
We can get almost get everything from any part of the world.

So go grab one for yourself now!
