Recently, there is a type of cafe caught my attention – a type of cafe which looks like gift/handicraft shop with many cute decoration items, such as Eighty Tree cafe which I am going to introduce to you in this post. I couldn’t find its origin nor give it a name until I did some studies on Internet.
Sushi Zanmai is not new in Malaysia. It has 7 outlets in PJ/KL area. For Penang, however, the first outlet is just opened in July 2013 at Gurney Paragon Mall – the new mall in Penang. Like Chinese said, “Sin Jamban Ho Pangsai (New toilet bowl nice to poo)”. People will queue up as early as 11.30am just to try out this new restaurant in Penang. Is it worth the effort? Let’s see.
The One is a new township project in Bayan Baru opposite of Mayang Mall/D’Piazza. At first, I was quite excited as there were many restaurants opened at that area. After few visits, it quickly became one of the area I tried to avoid due to one major issue – parking problem.
Back in March, I introduced New York Pizza’s charcoal burger. It was just released that time and there was only one New York Pizza outlet at Sungai Dua, Penang. In the blink of eye, New York Pizza has three outlets in Penang now. Since its burger business is getting popular, the owner even registered another company under the name of “New York Burger“.
It was raining day. Imaging driving a water-leaking 21 years old car, all the way from Bayan Lepas area to Gurney Drive (not to mention after gas increased 20 cents), one hand holding a big Pasar Tani umbrella, one hand holding camera. All these hassles are just to introduce you all a new burger stall – Street Grill Burger at Kompleks Makanan Persiaran Gurney.
In conjunction with 13th Anniversary, 32 at the Mansion is pleased to offer you a series of promotion from 1-September to 30-September 2013.
Recently, Penang has quite a number of new western food restaurants opened in George Town area. Dicken Street Cafe, for example, is another western cafe at Lebuh Dickens, George Town so new that it does not have a signboard when we visited it at the end of August 2013. The cafe opened since May 2013.
Each time I passed by Lexus showroom in George Town, there are two things I noticed – one is my dream car Lexus CT200H which is out of my league, another one is this 32 Mansion fine dining restaurant which is also out of my reach. Fortunately, I had a chance to visit 32 Mansion recently.
Restaurants in shopping malls usually share the same characteristic – they are restaurant chains and can be found across different malls and states. In other words, they are lack of uniqueness especially if you are travelling to a new place and looking for authentic local food. Tian Ding Xiang 天鼎香 at Gurney Plaza, however, is an exception and can easily overlooked by diners.
In conjunction with the upcoming September promotion, Eastin Hotel Penang is pleased to offer you a variety of international delicacies. Come and enjoy their unique dishes from German, Japanese, Mexican, Thai and many other exotic cuisine from around the globe.
