♥Verdict: Definitely a place that worthy to put into your Penang food hunting list!
[Non-halal] Kheng Pin Cafe is known for their Lobak - and it is truly one of the best we’ve had. The char kuey teow is good too!
Really good springy noodles with a balance of sweet and savoury sauces that brought the noodles to life.
I am immensely impressed with the rich taste of Seafood Bisque.
One of the affordable venue that allows you to enjoy high tea in style without causing a haemorrhage in your wallet will be Top View Restaurant at The Top Penang. For RM 38/pax, you get to enjoy the most strategic and unblocked panoramic view of Penang standing high at 59th floor of Komtar
Churros were served as part of the afternoon tea set. This is something different compared to others. The churros came with caramel dipping sauce and it tasted sweet and filling. This is dedicated to churros-lovers.
Although the crust looked a little pale, the savory pies are greatly enjoyed by the young and elderly. The colonial pork pie and the curry chicken pie with a little bit of spicy heat are popular choices.
The noodle dish has the quintessential flavor, as well as heaps of ingredients like Shrimps, Vege, Pork and loads of Deep Fried Pork Lard. Together with Sambal, the dish was tummy-filling and satisfying at the same time. Not that it was outstanding but more than decent enough for a usual lunch fix.
We decided to go for the classic Cantonese dish - Char Hor Fun (RM 7.90) after saw it is being put as one of the recommended dish. It was a good choice indeed. The Char Hor Fun comes with a decent wok scent along with an aromatic egg in the starchy gravy. If we were to give a rating, it would be one of the above average taste Char Hor Fun we tasted in Penang.
The Christmas Eve Buffet at Cititel Hotel Penang is priced at RM 118 nett (adult) and RM 59 nett (child).
Besides à la carte dishes, Main Street Cafe also serves buffet lunch and dinner on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Seafood and Japanese cuisine are the theme on Friday, while seafood and roasts take the center stage on Saturday.
Char Koay Teow This plate is very yummy, with good wok hei (wok heat), tasty and with cockles! Cockles definitely add flavor and aroma to a plate of Char Koay Teow.
I like the Laksa, it taste good and i also tried Kek Seng Coffee Shop signature Ice Kacang, their Ice Kacang taste normal but with lots of ingredient inside it.
The popiah is the best I've tasted in Penang - tasty with a good balance of fillings. The chilli paste actually makes a presence so there's an oomph to the popiah! I'm not used to the soggy-ness of the popiah but the taste and texture was good enough for me to completely disregard it.

They are a long-standing stall with almost 40 years of operations. Situated within a coffee shop alongside other stalls, we opted for both the regular char kway teow and the version featuring duck eggs.
One of it is the Famous Penang Road Laksa.
We were most pleased with the coffee beans and drip kettle. They also make perfect gifts for those who enjoy coffee and home-brewing.

Here's the location.
The Toast however, was light and fluffy but we thought the accompanying dips were slightly off the track
I order what is call as their Savory Soulmate set meal, which is recommended for two person but i can finish it by myself.
Tokyo Yakitori is a new Japanese restaurant in town, sister restaurant to one of the oldest Japanese joints in Penang- Kirishima Japanese Restaurant (at Cititel Penang) but both are geographically near to each other. Though Tokyo Yakitori is just a few shops away from Kirishima, both are targeting different segments- Kirishima's offering is more superior in terms of ingredients and price points while Tokyo Yakitori is more wallet-friendly. Notwithstanding, Tokyo Yakitori still offers decent Japanese delights- from the standard Japanese appetizers to Yakitori (Japanese Skewers) to Sushi, Ramen and Bento Sets. In the evening, the place is turned into a restaurant cum bar that offers a vast selection of Japanese Sake to pair over their range of Skewers. Nevertheless, the place is still suitable for all age-range of diners and that includes both teetotalers and drinkers. Tokyo Yakitori can be found at the T-junction of Sri Bahari Road and Penang Road (next to Kheng Pin Cafe).
All in all, Dear Dino Cafe is a must-visit place in Penang if you’re looking for a chill cafe to bask in their laidback ambience.
We had a Ballin' On A Budget (RM 18), a steamed potatoes stuffed with broccoli, corn, ham and melted cheese topped with sour cream onion. It is freshly made upon ordered, considering we waited for about 20 minutes before the food arrives. The potato served was soft but we thought it could be made slightly mushier for a better overall texture. Seasoning could be improved as well as the potatoes tasted a little bold. The overall dish make senses when you have the potatoes together with the ham and sour cream onion, otherwise it tasted odd when individual elements are consumed separately. The cheese used, which we supposed to be raclette did not impress as it ended up as a separate layer on top of the potatoes
We picked Let's Avocuddle.... Ham, Lettuce, Tomato served over Avocado-spread Toasts. It tasted as straight forward as it was... pretty bland and nothing out of the ordinary. A relief that the Toasts were not too dry
西班牙猪大排 Spanish Iberico Ribs – RM14/100g Iberico pork, also known as black pigs are imported from Spain and it feeds naturally on oak tree acorns. The texture of the meat will be a bit chewy indeed. The well marination of the meat with the herbs and sauces gave this dish an aromatic and delicious feel.
Overall my dining experience is awesome.
Hong Kong Style Seafood Congee (港式海鲜艇仔粥; RM 388/10 pax) is one of the dish that demonstrated the shrewdness of food preparation. The soup is double boiled for long hours with pork ribs to harness its essence prior cooking with seafood, and resulted in a final product with sleek sensation of the seafood. It hits the quality of not being overly stout with seafood taste.
Zhonghua Gourmet has been operating for 20 years, making it one of the longest-running tenant restaurants in any Penang hotel.
I am not sure what's the best Char Koay Teow taste like, but I like this one here!
In sum, we’re glad to have Ho Ping Kopitiam situated in the heart of the city.
