    Avoid Pearl Island Vacation travel agency in Penang at all cost. Charged me extra and refused to refund me. The owner even resorted to threats and behaved in a very aggressive manner. I'll never go there again

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.

Located along the old world charm of Armenian Street is a Chinese restaurant that serves a combination of Hainanese and Nyonya delicacies.

Ah Khoon Loh Mee

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).
