Recently, we noticed that some restaurants, including The Bungalow in Lone Pine Hotel, like to pour seafood freshly stir-fried from kitchen onto customer’s dining table and ask the customers to eat them using bare hands. No, they are not crazy but this is a new trend to share and enjoy seafood without any cutlery. Just hands.

Meet In Style @ G Hotel Gurney
G Hotel Gurney has been a popular venue for wedding functions and corporate meeting events. Recently, the hotel has extended additional five function rooms. We were invited to experience their new function/conference rooms and more…
Sunday Roast @ E&O Hotel
Chicken, lamb and beef – if you like all these, then you should visit Farquhar’s Bar in Eastern & Oriental Hotel, George Town, Penang for its Sunday Roast Eat-All-You-Can buffet.
Waffle Factory (Groupon with cashback from ShopBack)
Salted Caramel Matcha Waflle (RM15.90) – one of the best waffles in town. Salted Caramel is the recommended homemade gelato in which we have no regret ordering it as it works well as the “balancer” for the sweet waffle dressing. As for the waffle, we selected the matcha flavor. You can get this premium waffle at Waffle Factory.
Chai Diam Ma art space & cafe
After reviewing some restaurants, we found out that there are two types of person who open a restaurant – the first one is an individual who like to cook. The second one being an investor who usually works in group and only focus on ROI (Some of them even don’t know how to cook). There is no absolute answer on who is better but today, we re-visit Chai Diam Ma art space & cafe in George Town, Penang in which the owner not only is a cook, but also an art lover.
Menya Miyabi Hokkaido Ramen @ Queensbay Mall & Sunway Pyramid
We visit Queensbay Mall at Bayan Lepas, Penang almost every month and this is our first time visiting Menya Miyabi since they open for business on December 2013. The shop is located at the first floor toward the wing where Daiso and Maybank are located. We regret that we only visited this ramen shop recently as it is one of the best ramen shops in the region.
Tex-Mex Friday Night Buffet @ G Hotel Gurney
Looking for best smoked duck in Penang? Then you should visit Taste Café in G Hotel Gurney, Penang. Traditionally marinated with seasonings and spices before cold smoking the meat and preserve for about a good 17 months long, the chef brings you the same taste by cold smoke the duck using apple wood and then keep in the chiller to marinate for one day before serving. Eat to believe!
Western Galore Buffet Dinner @ Copthorne Orchid Hotel
It has been 5 years since our last visit to Terrace Bay restaurant in Copthorne Orchid Hotel. Recently, we visited this well-known hotel at Tanjung Bungah, Penang for newly launched buffet theme – Western Galore.
Hai Nan Town
Is this a food presentation in a cooking show? No, this is Gulai Tumis Ikan served daily in Hai Nan Town, Penang. Topped with onions, mints, tomatoes, ladyfingers, and torch ginger flower, the curry may look spicy but it tastes more like an appetizing sweet and sour gravy with mild spiciness.
Bistro Tang @ Ren I Tang Heritage Inn
Previously, we introduced a warehouse-converted cafe in George Town, Penang. Today, we bring you to another restaurant which was converted from a Chinese Medical Hall – Bistro Tang in Ren I Tang Heritage Inn at Gat Penang Street (toward the end of Little India), George Town.
