US Pizza at Greenlane, Penang was one of the restaurants we blogged at early stage. The name sounds like a pizza franchise from United States but actually it is a restaurant opened by Malaysian, for Malaysian.

Little Cottage at Burmah Road, Penang was one of the cafes we blogged at early stage and we actually celebrated many events there. Recently, we noticed that both Burmah Road and Waterfall outlets were renamed, probably due to the change of ownership.

The newly opened Ren Ren Tea House 人人茶馆 is located at Jalan Phuah Hin Leong, Penang. If the road name sounds unfamiliar to you, it is the same road with Kai Curry Bar, off Burmah Road after Penang Plaza. We visited it one evening as we heard that they got some kick-ass Tom Yam.
We can’t really remember when is our last time visiting Fort Cornwallis – a historical site nearby ferry terminal in Penang island. Recently, we had a chance to visit it, not for the sake of visiting cannons there, but a cafe hidden inside the park – namely Kota Dine & Coffee.
It was one evening when our plan to have our dinner at open air Pulau Tikus Wet Market was spoiled by the drizzle weather. We noticed a new cafe called Moulmein Gourmet (MG) at the same row with Anna Thai Kitchen so we decided to give it a try.
Our first review on G Hotel Kelawai is during its topping off ceremony by Chief Minister of Penang back in year 2014. The ceremony was conducted on the highest floor – 24th floor in which the only thing available there is – cement.

Once again, it is another year of Nine Emperor Gods Festival. The festival starts from the first day of ninth lunar month and ends on the ninth day of the same lunar month.

This is probably the freshest Salmon Fillet we’ve ever tried. It comes with pommes puree (another fancy name for mashed potato), asparagus, dill cream (a tangy sauce), and surrounded by tarragon oil. The salmon fillet is crispy-outside, soft-inside and hardly has any fishy taste commonly found in frozen seafood product. This is one of the set lunch‘s main courses in The O’lives at Pulau Tikus, Penang.
In Penang, there are two types of hot pot (or commonly known as steamboat) – buffet or set meal. While buffet style is usually value for money (provided you are big eater), it usually lacking of premium seafood such as crab and big prawns. Even some set meals only offer medium size prawns at most. The steamboat in E&O Hotel is, however, the most luxurious steamboat we have ever tried.
It was one weekday evening when we were in the rush to visit Logos Hope – a cruise with floating book fair in it at Swettenham Pier. Before reaching there, we decided to have our dinner nearby and surprisingly, we stumbled upon this newly opened Sumo-Sumo Japanese fast food restaurant at Bishop Street, Penang (near Route 9/GohKaki).
