Starview Restaurant has always been equated to good Chinese food and the place to go to for dinners and Chinese weddings. Their weekends are always fully booked and don’t hope to get a table if you don’t have a prior reservation! This long established restaurant has recently moved to a spanking new premise in New… Continue reading Starview Restaurant @ New World Park, Penang

Breakfast @ Pulau Tikus
One of my favourite places to go to for Sunday morning breakfast is Pulau Tikus market area.

Passions of Kerala Banana Leaf Rice
Whenever I’m in the mood for banana leaf rice, my mind inadvertently wonders to… Passions of Kerala. The original restaurant in Gelugor was called Innira’s, while the restaurant in Service Road (off Burmah Road) was called Passions of Kerala. They now no longer carry the name Innira’s, having changed all the outlets’ name to Passions… Continue reading Passions of Kerala Banana Leaf Rice
