Coconut Palms Delicious Seafood @ Jalan Burma, Pulau Tikus

Coconut Palms Delicious Seafood opened its doors about 2 months ago, taking over the large bungalow house that was previously Audees Cuisine (and before that I think it was some restaurant serving Australian cuisine?).

At first we had our reservations about Coconut Palms, but having drove past the place and seeing it’s car park packed to [...]

Green Pea Cookies Recipe for Chinese New Year

With Chinese New Year just a week away, Penang is a hustle and bustle. Roads are packed with people out and about running errands, preparing for the new year. While the heat wave that we’re experiencing of late is causing trees to shed leaves, making Penang feel like autumn!

Chin Bee Tea Restaurant @ Noordin Street – More than Just Tea

I had first read about Chin Bee Tea Restaurant from Criz, who sang high praises for the place. Intrigued, I subsequently have brought my family along to dine at Chin Bee and we have all fallen in love with the food served at this place! Don’t be fooled by the name ‘tea house’. Usually, one [...]

Edo Ichi Japanese Cuisine @ Island Plaza, Tanjung Tokong

When I spotted Edo Ichi a few weeks back, the first thought that crossed my mind was ‘Do we really need another Japanese restaurant?’
Therefore I felt no real urgency to dine there. But dad being dad, went ahead to try the new place and discovered that Edo Ichi is operated by the same owners [...]

Klang Bak Kut Teh @ GohTong Jaya, Genting Highlands

It’s rather odd to find Klang Bak Kut Teh at Genting Highlands. And even odder still that we chose to eat there. Perhaps the cold weather made us crave some hot soup, and perhaps it stood out amongst the sea of seafood restaurants lined up in front of us at Taman Gohtong Jaya, Genting Highlands [...]
