Cheng Zheng Dim Sum 丞蒸点心 is one of the latest Dim Sum joints in town; it has modern decor, clean-accommodating and the place is air-conditioned. The fact that the place offers a cozy dining atmosphere is to attract local young crowd and by far, they are doing a great job. The food offering is not as extensive as compared to some long-established Dim Sum joints in Penang but most of the classic Dim Sum dishes are available, with some special ones (like their signature Portuguese Tarts which are quite good and comparable to Oriental Kopi's). Interestingly, the Dim Sum dishes are reasonably price ..read more

FOOJI serves a "kopitiam" style menu, featuring Malaysian delights like Kaya Butter Toast, Chinese Rice dishes, Noodles, Fried Rice etc. The seats are well-spaced and the place is air-conditioned, offering a comfortable space for a quick, casual meal.

A new Thai food joint in Georgetown- Rangoon Road (few doors away from White Bowl Curry Mee): Bann Thai, serves a big Thai menu featuring the classic Thai delights; the standard Tom Yum, Som Tam, Pad Kra Pao etc are all on the list. Nothing spectacular about the exterior and interior decor, pretty much a standard air-conditioned restaurant. The prices are fair and reasonable given that their serving portions are big. Quality-wise, some hits and misses. Sambal Petai Prawns (Rm 23.90) Thai Papaya Salad (Rm 12.90) Steamed Otak-Otak with Seafood (Rm 29.90) Pad Thai (Rm 12.90) Tha ..read more

1M Specialty Coffee House is the latest addition to Hillside Tanjung Tokong (next to Domino's Pizza and a few doors away from Guardian Pharmacy). It is easy to spot 1M Specialty Coffee House, thanks to its welcoming entrance painted in bright colors. The menu is not big- featuring some classic Western dishes as well as some modern, playful Asian delights (we were there in early February and they were still in soft launch stage so there might be some changes to the menu) with prices slightly on the higher side. Not everything we had was good but given that they were still very new, the place is ..read more
