Double Good Restaurant Almost everyone goes to this restaurant for the Indonesian curry prawn (RM15). Other than that, we also ordered 3-cup chicken (RM8), the signature bean curd (RM8), fried mix vegetables (RM7) and steamed red snapper – Thai style (RM35).
The Sire Museum Restaurant This restaurant cum museum is the former home of the late Yeap Chor Ee, a prominent businessman and philanthropist in Penang. In 2008, the place was converted into a gallery by his grandson displaying antiques from the owner’s collection.
The interior of the restaurant itself is something to be marvel. Entering the restaurant is like going [...]
David Brown’s Restaurant & Tea Terraces The perfect place to have English tea and fine British cuisine on a well manicured garden under the clear blue sky on Sunday afternoon without breaking a sweat in the hot tropical climate of Penang is at David Brown’s Restaurant located on top of Penang Hill.
Tucked away on top of Penang Hill lies a distant [...]
Colonial Restaurant Located along the old world charm of Armenian Street is a Chinese restaurant that serves a combination of Hainanese and Nyonya delicacies. The interior of the restaurant is tastefully decorated to maintain the nostalgic feel of 19th century. Like most pre-ware shop houses built during the period, it has an air well in the middle [...]
Ocean-Green Restaurant & Seafood Hidden from the main road is a well known seafood restaurant own by Paramount Hotel. However weird it may seems, I always prefer having seafood beside the sea because it gives me the sense of freshness no where else can offer. The restaurant not only offer a great view of the sea but also seafood [...]
Old Town Kitchen Hokkien Mee Locating not far from the Kim Seng Restaurant Koay Teow Soup is another coffee shop competing for the appetite of the breakfast-goers. The specialties of this coffee shop is Hokkien Mee; one of my favorite hawker fare and they have been selling it since my parents’ time. You can bet nothing can go wrong with [...]
Golden Claypot Restaurant This is a new restaurant (open this year) and I decided to give it a try. It is located beside Teow Chew Meng restaurant. The place is comfortably air-conditioned and well lit with rows of marble tables. Even though the restaurant looks like a modern coffee shop a.k.a. Old Town type with free Wifi, but [...]
Ah Khoon Loh Mee I’m not so much of a loh mee’s fan. However due to recommendation from a friend, I decided to give it a try. To my delight, it tasted better than I expected. That explain the crowd in the place. I have to wait for few moments before a seat is available. The thick gravy is [...]
Plus 2 Restaurant The signature dish of this air-conditioned restaurant is Marmite Chicken. Yes, the sauce is made from Marmite; the thick and dark paste I used to had when I was a child. It is served with fried “man tau” bread; a great combination for the sauce. Other than the Marmite Chicken, it also serves many types [...]
Lemon Koay Teow Soup This is a unique variation of koay teow soup. The soup has strong lemon taste and for extra kick, add some chili paste into the soup. It comes with sizable portion of mince pork.
It opens everyday except Monday for breakfast (7am ~ 11am).
