Nice Hong Kong style restaurant located in a Rhodes central. There’s always a line for it. It was busy by the time we got there.

They had a wide variety of food and drinks options on the menu and the omurice caught my eye. I ordered tornado omurice with curry pork chops and it was served pretty quick. The portion was quite huge for me. I liked how the curry sauce was well complemented with the pork chops and the egg was nicely done to my liking. I didn’t finish the rice though as the curry was a tad too heavy for me.

As I had the tornado omurice as meal set, I had iced milk tea with additional $2 charge. It was too sweet to my liking but I was thirsty hence I finished it anyway. The whole meal left my stomach pretty full from it.

Overall I enjoyed my dining experience here. The place was clean and nicely decorated. I’m happy to go back again to try other food on the menu.

We came here because the line for Yeodongsik was too long and we didn’t wanna wait. We got a table pretty quick once we got here.

There’s plenty of options on their menu and they all looked very tempting. We decided to go for bulgogi beef hotpot, kimchi pancake and stirred fried pork rice for sharing.

Food was served pretty quick and the server was attentive to us. We were amazed at how big the portion of the hotpot was. We could barely finish it as the portion of the other two dishes was huge too.

Kimchi pancake was my favorite as it wasn’t spicy at all! However, I found it less flavorful if I didn’t dip it in the sauce that came with it. It’s got the nice texture but they could improve on the taste.

I liked the stirred fried pork better compared with bulgogi beef. The pork was more flavorful with its sauce. Bulgogi beef was dull in comparison as it didn’t have much taste to it. Moreover, I didn’t like overcooked beef in hotpot. The good thing about the hotpot was it came with heaps of veggie which I liked.

We were all disappointed with the bulgogi beef and we had a lot of leftover for takeaway. Overall it’s a not bad experience for me and the price was decent given the portion.

Came here on a rainy Saturday noon and the place was busy. We wanted to get a good view of the harbor bridge and opera house but outdoor seatings were full.

The server didn’t take long to get us a table inside and we were seated near the corner of the cafe which could get us the opera house view too. Overall not a bad experience.

They have a pretty standard list of food and beverages on their menu. You could either place the order online by scanning their QR code or pay at the counter. I faced some technical issue of the system when I was about to check out using Apple Pay though. It took me some time to fill up my card details and check out to place my order. Not a very clever system to me.

Eventually I ordered an açaí bowl and my friend had Ploughman’s Platter and iced mocha. The server served our food and drinks pretty quick despite the busy hour.

I enjoyed my friend’s company with the opera house view here even though the weather was gloomy.
I had the combination of roasted duck and chicken rice for dinner with friends. I had to say taste wise it didn’t disappoint. For the pricing it was average considered it’s in Haymarket area.

However, the server tried to force an additional dish that we didn’t order on us. We told the restaurant that we didn’t order that and she kept coming back to us insisting that we ordered it even though we stressed on multiple times that we didn’t order it. We even told her each of us had gotten our order already and she could obviously see that.

It’s pretty annoying to have to face this kind of service. It’s just an additional duck rice which costs $20 and it costs nothing to a place like that in Haymarket.
Saw the rave reviews about the pastries of this place and decided to buy some pastries here before I left Penang. Was instantly attracted by the old school interior decor of this place.

They had a wide selection of pastries at the display counter and they all looked tempting to me. The shop owner was courteous enough to give me a briefing about their products and pricing.

Was tempted to buy them all but decided to buy each of the them to give it a try. I couldn’t resist the temptation to try the pastries once I got into the car. Each of them tasted so good. The crust was crunchy to my favorite and the filling was rich and flavorsome.

Would love to come back to buy more of their pastries for souvenirs if I visit Penang again!
