Hidden in a corner of one of the streets of Georgetown, in the hustle and bustle is Bistro Tang.

A cafe in one of the many mushrooming boutique hotels, you will experience the old town feel.

Baa Baa Black Sheep @ Tanjung Bungah

If you are a coffee person or looking for a place to relax and chit chat with a couple of friends, this is the place to be.  Many coffee outlets mushrooming in old Georgetown, here's one you can visit in Tanjung Bungah opposite the Copthorne Hotel.

Coffee and ice blended drinks are pretty standard.  Just one thing with the long black the little milk that comes with it is not warm ... Fussy Foodie, yes, minor point :-)

Very friendly and accommodating staff, young girls, service with a smile at all times, how pleasant ...

Menu is short and sweet, tried the waffle, base was nice and crispy.

Free wifi good for tourist, there were plenty of tourists when we were there.  Nice ambience, air con nice and cool for a hot afternoon.

Looking for a place to chill, this one is not too bad, have a visit this weekend :-)

Closed on Mondays folks.

My Voice Cafe Hits The NO GO List

Maybe someone can tell me why this place is packed all the time cause I just can't seem to figure it out ...

Just for laughs ...

Anyway there Foodie heard of the recent crowding at My Voice @ Bay Avenue and decided to check it out.  

This mango fusion roll was recommended by the very enthusiastic waiter.  Unfortunately it was a disaster, tasted neither savoury nor dessert like.  The rice was not properly cooked and chilli flakes on some sweet mango sauce ??? Fusion??? No thanks, worst roll ever, two words, Don't Order !

So we ordered the all famous ramen supposedly comes in a huge bowl.

Besides the gimmick of eating from a really huge bowl ... Really ...

Nothing great ... 

Jelly like dessert with ice cream so-so.

Ok let's talk about these flower tea

What ??? Tea ??? Huh ??? Where ???

OMG !!! Unlimited refill but it's so blend even with refill No. 1 :-(

We also had the gyoza but it was soggy and nothing great, really.

Enough said ... 

First and last visit for Foodie

Money not well spent ...

MyArte Cafe - Musetti Coffee

Artsy Fartsy Penang ...

Here I come :-)

We Penangites are enjoying loads of goodies with the sudden cultural awareness.

It is all well and good, gives us good reason to sit back, enjoy and relax ...

Hmmm ... all the time.

 Here we are featuring one of the smaller cafes in the old city.

Nice place to sit and relax while in between the sticky hot weather looking at all the street and wire art.

Why not sit down and have a coffee.

They serve Musetti coffee here, not local coffee.

 Nice and cosy with friendly staff

Free wifi if you need a quick update.

 Even has a special corner promoting hand made baby shoes.

So many around, just gotta go around and look for the one you like most.

I try to go to the ones which are not so crowded.

This is a nice one if you wanna do some catching up with friends.

On a weekday, you may have difficulty looking for a car park,

the trick is too go a few more rounds ...

Remember FREE parking till 15th of February 2014 !

Oyster Shots @ Summer Garden

 While we are still in the school holidays and festive mood, Foodie has decided to keep this month for 'good food' reviews and take a break from the Street Food ...

Have you ever craved for raw oysters but do not feel like buffet ?

This will be the place to go for you when you are in that kind of mood :-)

Cozily located at the corner of Lembah Permai 3, the ambience is nice for a semi formal but relaxing dinner.

Best part is you can

BYO

 Starting off with a crisp Caeser salad, followed by this 'to die for' oyster shots.

No alcohol in it, but very nice concoction of soy sauce, caviar and a touch of secret I guess...

you have just got to taste it

according to lady boss, oysters are imported from Japan, so limited stock available each day ...

 Seafood marinara

 Grilled salmon

 This chicken looks pretty ordinary but the lemon grass sauce that comes with it is very unique ... similar to the lemongrass cake as well for dessert.

 Steaks are rather thin cut, but the good thing about this place is they take your orders seriously so if you ordered medium rare, it will come medium rare, unlike most steak places in Penang.

 This is the braised lamb ... highly recommended by Foodie

try this one

don't forget to bring along a nice bottle of red wine to go with it

... aah ... and start off first with some sparkling wine to go with the yummy oysters

 continue on with a wide selection of freshly home made cakes to go with coffee or tea

 that brings us to total satisfaction

sit down, relax and have small chat with friends and relatives

 Here are the operating hours

They are closed on Tuesdays ...

 also a different selection for those who do not want to have Western food
