For us, dining in a Western restaurant with dim environment usually mean one thing – the owner doesn’t want you to look at your wallet clearly, so that you will be less painful when paying the bill. Similar environment can be found in The Cruises Steak House. Luckily, their set lunch menu works well as a “painkiller” for cheap labor like us.

Red Hott, Bayan Lepas, Penang
Red Hott (formerly Red Hot) at The One (opposite of Mayang Mall/D’Piazza), Bayan Baru, Penang is the only hot dog specialist in Penang and perhaps in Malaysia as well. Our first visit was back in April 2013.
DCOVA, George Town, Penang
DCOVA recently launched its new menu. For us, everything is new as this is our first visit to the cafe. We seldom travel down to George Town for a cup of coffee as some of them have their coffee bean outsourced, making it lack of uniqueness. However, DCOVA has proven that having a cup of coffee can be both unique and authentic.
Tree Bar, Gurney Drive, Penang
Note: FREE chicken wing voucher inside
Opened since 19-June-2014, Tree Bar is the new hangout spot in Penang under the management of G Hotel. Our first thought before visiting it was that it might be just a bar with some commercial snacks and beverages but it turned out that we were wrong. Not only they serve one of the best beers in town, but also some homemade bites and buns.

Barista @ Vistana Hotel Penang
Located at Bukit Jambul, Vistana Hotel recently went through a major revamp to attract more guests. Many people, including locals, missed this business hotel probably due to location issue. Some even thought that it is an office or apartment when passing by. For me, I had been there for few times such as wedding dinner and the recent Barista coffee bar review.
