MAS: David Brown's Restaurant & Tea Terrace

July 28, 2020

Not so often you'll get a main course with curly fries as a side! Perched on Strawberry Hill, one of the peaks of Penang Hill in Malaysia, is a cosy place to have a meal and/or sip a cup of tea in a British colonial building. There are also some seats outside for those who prefer to enjoy the view of the lush greenery surrounding the restaurant. My group went there to celebrate my mother's birthday during the trip.

{MAS - Malaysia: Penang} Chinese

Could it be the best 'chendol' in Penang? On the Malaysian island with the same name, Penang Road is a major road in George Town. Don't forget to drop by one of the smaller streets called Lebuh Keng Kwee for a nice bowl of chendol , they say. Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul has been around since 1936, and it currently operates multiple branches across the country, including Sabah and Sarawak.

{MAS - Malaysia: Penang} Chinese

There was a long queue for 'char koay teow', but... Gurney Drive is a popular promenade within George Town in Penang, Malaysia that's well known for its street food. The seafront hawker centre has been listed as one of the 25 best street cuisine worldwide by The Traveler, an Australian travel magazine. I sampled four dishes from four different stalls when I was there.

{MAS - Malaysia: Penang} Chinese Indian Vegetarian

Mostly Chinese dishes, but lovely Indian curry! My family and I, as well as my friend and his mother, started exploring Penang, Malaysia on the second day after arrival. First things first, we went to Kek Lok Si Temple, which is the largest Buddhist temple complex in Malaysia that was built from 1890 to 1930. We had lunch at a vegetarian restaurant within the complex.

Need more cherry tomatoes and onions for the salad! Kimberley Hotel Georgetown (3*) is a heritage hotel that's strategically located in the heart of Georgetown in Penang, Malaysia, which historical core has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008. Buffet breakfast is served at the hotel, but there isn't much variety of food and drinks offered.

{Airline Meals}

Grateful for the snacks onboard the short flights! I've been wanting to write about my little adventure in Penang, Malaysia a while ago before the COVID-19 pandemic as part of my mother's birthday celebration, and the opportunity has finally come. Let's begin by looking at the Economy Class snacks and drinks offered onboard Silk Air MI354 and MI347 from Singapore to Penang and vice versa respectively.

SIN: The Market Grill

July 08, 2020

{SIN - Singapore: Central} Western

Lobster or beef? Or perhaps both? Tucked in the vicinity of Telok Ayer is The Market Grill, a bistro offering quality seafood and meat. The interior features a whimsical mix of old style butchery and diner, coupled with a light industrial touch. That evening, I enjoyed my dinner with my dining partner at the counter seat directly facing the lobster tank.

{SIN - Singapore: Central} Indonesian Western

Tasty sea bass grilled with lots of 'kecap manis'! We've now transitioned to the second half of 2020, and we continue to hope that the COVID-19 pandemic would be over soon. During the Circuit Breaker period here in Singapore, our term for partial lockdown that lasted from 7 April to 1 June, there was no way we could dine outside. On one of the days, I had a yummy dinner at home from Cajun on Wheels.
