With near to 10 years of experience in the food & beverage industry, BRFNC Food Services (same management as Blue Reef Fish N Chips) takes over the management of Loke Thye Kee, an iconic heritage building that sits right smack in central Georgetown. The 88 year old building stays as it is, the only change made was the newly rolled out menu. It is a space dedicated to marry history with good food. Loke Thye Kee was once famed as one of the first established Hainanese restaurants in Georgetown in the olden days; with that in mind, the new management decided to preserve the Hainanese element as well as introducing some Nyonya dishes to the menu. The old school atmosphere is a reminiscent of the past- the interior decoration suggests evocative memories on the Hainanese Kopitiam. The restaurant opens as early as 8:30 am and expect to see an intimate variety of Hainanese Coffee with Toast for breakfast; full-fledged Hainanese-Nyonya menu will be served starting from noon. If you are on the lookout for Pork-Free caterer, Loke Thye Kee provides catering services as well.
Loke Thye Kee building is the place you find yourself passing by every time you drive down Burma Road from Penang Road. A distinctive landmark, this building with a cafe, restaurant and bar has ceased operations for a few months. It has since re-opened under new management – by the people that runs Blue Reef Fish & Chips.
这个与好吃或不好吃应该没有太大的关系，只是我还吃不习惯越菜。
Penangites have professed their love for Vietnamese food and there's an increase in new Vietnamese restaurants to keep up with the burgeoning demand. Mekong Vietnamese Restaurant is one of the few newly opened Vietnamese joints in Penang. Unlike most Vietnamese restaurants, Mekong takes on a more sophisticated approach. The restaurant has a proper setting sans the Vietnamese frills, it did not create a very "Vietnamese" atmosphere but the Vietnamese-focused menu proven otherwise (we believe the restaurant is manned by Vietnamese). It has all the signature Vietnamese dishes that any Malaysian can possibly name; price points are however, higher than expected. Also, the restaurant is still new and do expect some delays with the food orders.
