Yoshinoya Hanamaru – a Japanese casual fast food restaurant well known of its beef bowl and udon. Its self-service concept has attracted many customers looking for a quick meal yet not sacrificing on the quality of the food. It has few outlets in Malaysia with the recent one at the basement of Gurney Plaza, Penang.
Time flies and it has been two years since DCOVA opens its door at Bishop Street, George Town, Penang. Recently, we revisited it for some new dishes preview.

What’s making Suleiman – the Director of Communications in Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa so excited about? It is nothing more than June’s Spice Market Cafe special – Northern Thai Food Promotion presented by two guest chefs – Chef Damrongsak Khammonghon (left) and Chef Pratthung Taka (right).
Kerang Rebus (Boiled Clams) – a local seafood cuisine with delicious crisp succulence which is commonly found in rural area or fisherman village. Now, you can get it at Vistana Hotel of Penang, Kuantan and Kuala Lumpur. This is just one of Tok Wan 101 Recipes buffet items during the blessed month of Ramadhan.
When you see Buah Kurma (Date Palm), you know that something is coming, that is, month of Ramadan. Last year, we visited Eastern & Oriental Hotel for its Buka Puasa buffet. This year is not exception as well.
“Izakaya” means Japanese gastropub, or 居酒屋 in Chinese. It is a casual place for after-work drinking. Ichiban – The Izakaya is the Japanese restaurant and bar with currently five outlets in Malaysia:
We recently visited the newly opened Alora Hotel‘s outlet.
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.
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.
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.
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.
