Whenever I want to have something simple and wholesome, Sawara Restaurant at Burmah Road comes to mind. They started out as a humble lil restaurant serving mainly yong tao foo items made with 100% mackerel fish and some noodle dishes. Since then, the menu has flourished to include many other items like fresh fish slices,… Continue reading Sawara Yong Tao Foo @ Pulau Tikus Penang

Hakka Connexion @ Jalan Bawasah
I have unintentionally blogged about two foodie places along Jalan Bawasah back to back it seems, what with my earlier post. 🙂 Hakka Connexion is a quaint comfy lil’ restaurant in a lovely colonial house. Narrow and long, with high ceilings. Upon entering the restaurant, there are photos of a typical Hakka village in China… Continue reading Hakka Connexion @ Jalan Bawasah
Zi Wei Yuan Steamboat @ Raja Uda, Butterworth
At the last minute, a group of friends and I decided to meet up for dinner last Saturday since we were all too busy to meet over Chinese New Year. Since it was a weekend, we decided to go a bit further than we usually do for food – across the Penang Bridge to Raja… Continue reading Zi Wei Yuan Steamboat @ Raja Uda, Butterworth
Tian Tian (Everyday Supreme) Restaurant @ Red Rock Hotel
Red Rock Hotel is the ex Agora Hotel along Macalister Road that had undergone a recent renovation and facelift. And it is home to this delightful Chinese Restaurant – Tian Tian (Everyday Supreme)!

Nyonya Breeze @ Abu Siti Lane
Nyonya Breeze used to be located next to Naza Hotel in Tanjung Bungah. But recently, they moved to Abu Siti Lane, off Macalister Road. Located opposite Choo Plaza, its bright green signboard is hard to miss. My family is always in search of good nyonya food, as my late grandma was a fantastic cook who… Continue reading Nyonya Breeze @ Abu Siti Lane
Pang (Hainan) Seafood @ Tanjung Bungah
Pang (Hainan) Seafood, located opposite the Chinese Swimming Club is hard to miss. The place is just along the busy main road. Therefore it has always puzzled me as to why this premise has changed owners so many times over the years. My first memory of this place was when it was home to the… Continue reading Pang (Hainan) Seafood @ Tanjung Bungah
Shanghai Ding House of Dumpling @ New World Park, Penang
This is the second outlet of Shanghai Ding House of Dumpling. The first being the one at Bayan Bay next to Queensbay Mall. I have not had the chance to try the outlet there, but when it opened at New World Park, I managed to go on their 5th day of business. Once again I… Continue reading Shanghai Ding House of Dumpling @ New World Park, Penang
Young Heart Restaurant @ Cantonment Road
I have been meaning to blog about this place for quite some time. One of my favourite places for a quiet meal when I need to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Getting there may still require you to battle some traffic, but once you get inside… it’s just peaceful! Even… Continue reading Young Heart Restaurant @ Cantonment Road
Buck Cafe @ Phileo Damansara
My recent trip to KL turned out to be a ‘visiting-friend’s-shops/restaurant/cafe’ trip. Somehow, a friend or a friend of a friend etc.. are all entrepreneurs now, which is great! One such friend of a friend had recently started a cafe business at Phileo Damansara 1 called Buck Cafe. And so we dropped by one evening… Continue reading Buck Cafe @ Phileo Damansara
LAKSAnia along Burmah Road
Spotted LAKSAnia along Burmah Road when it first opened, but had my doubts. I thought it would be just another one of those Laksa Shack copy cats… So I never thought much of it, until I read a glowing review about it in The Star. My interests piqued, I insisted we drop by for lunch… Continue reading LAKSAnia along Burmah Road
