So one fine evening, we decided to go for a light dinner.

Woodlands Vegetarian Restaurant @ Penang Street

I had read about Woodlands Vegetarian Restaurant from Malaysia Best a long long time ago. But since both my dad and grandfather are ferocius meat eaters and balk at the mere mention of ‘vegetarian food’,  my chances of eating here are greatly diminished.

However, my love for Indian food (vegetarian or otherwise) has kept this place [...]

By Invitation: Bravo Italiana @ I-Avenue

Dim Sum Food Restaurant at Macalister Road Gets Thumbs Up!

As much as I love my dim sum, I do shudder at the thought of doing a post on dim sum eating places. Because it would mean lots and lots of photos of decadent delicate morsels of popping flavour!

However, since I also lament on the lack of decent dim sum in Penang, I just knew [...]

Kek Seng Kopitiam – Still Cheap and Good!

The iconic Kek Seng kopitiam is definitely no stranger to local Penangites. Having been in business since the early 1900s, Kek Seng kopitiam has consistently served cheap and good food.

It’s been years since I last visited Kek Seng. It used to be my grandfather’s favourite eating place. And I remember that I hated going there [...]
