One month had passed and we still missed The Black Spot – a coffee stout created by The Best Brew, Four Points by Sheraton Penang. It tasted just like coffee even a teetotaler can easily fall in love with it.

Tree Bar 2016 New Menu
Time flies and it has been two years since we first reviewed Tree Bar at G Hotel Gurney al fresco. Recently, we re-visited it again for its new menu.
Sushi YA 寿司屋@ Raja Uda
Last year, we could still enjoy a plate of Kappa Maki (Cucumber Roll) at the price of RM2.00 at Japanese chain restaurants. Thanks to currency depreciation, it is now a history. Either the same color plate had increased price, or the Maki was “promoted” to the ext color. Sushi YA appears to be our pocket saver.
Jiapapa Hometown Delight 呷饱饱
Craving for Laksa one afternoon, we were told by our friend that there was a new restaurant in Taman Lip Sin offering the local delicacy along with other dishes during lunch hour. Without further ado, we visited it on the same day as well.
Shen Food & Beverages 陞卤味专卖店
Shen Food & Beverages 陞陞卤味专卖店 is a new food outlet opened on 9-Sep-2016 at i-Avenue, Bayan Lepas, Penang. We stumbled upon this new shop offering braised delicacy when we were planning to visit Grand Yong Tofu on the same shop lot (Yes, it was closed and replaced with Shen).
Thibaut Pouplard Debuts as Chef de Cuisine at Feringgi Grill
Grilled Lamb Cutlets topped with eggplant caviar, dressed with garlic cream and sesame sauce. So soft and pleasing that it melts in your mouth. This is probably the best lamb we’ve ever tried and you can grab it at Feringgi Grill in Shangri-La’s Rasa Sayang Resort & SPA in Penang.

文记怡保芽菜鸡 Chicken Rice @ Relau, Penang
Chicken rice is a type of hawker food so common that you will find it in almost all coffee shops. The birds can be either roasted to deep golden brown or boiled to retain tenderness. Today, we bring you to a stall selling boiled chicken 白切鸡 which is probably the best in Bayan Lepas, Penang area.
Relau Bamboo Cafe 竹轩小食馆
Looking for a “Choo Char” restaurant in Relau, Penang area? There are few options along the main road but if you are looking for one with air-conditioned environment yet not breaking your bank, try Relau Bamboo Cafe 竹轩小食馆 at Golden Triangle.
Creameal
Located next to Kai Curry Bar at Jalan Phuah Hin Leong, Creameal is a small cafe specialized in all-day breakfast, waffle and homemade ice cream. Similar to other restaurants in the same street, parking is a bit difficult here but it does not stopping us from trying out their homemade ice cream in one evening.
