CRIZ BON APPETITE

Chinese New Year 2011 would be here barely 2 weeks from now. Have you ever wondered if you should let your loving mother go on vacation during this festive period since she has been slogging all these years in the kitchen? Well you should. It’s about time you pamper her to some of the great restaurants in town for all the sacrifices she had given to you all these years. It’s also ideal to hold a company dinner during this time to appreciate the hard work your staff had put in throughout the year. Let’s look at some of the possible venues in Penang. Please ensure that you call up to the respective restaurant to make a reservation as it could be rather packed during this season.

If you love food just like the way your Mother or Grandmother would cook them, why don’t you try out Ivy’s Kitchen? They do serve one of the tastiest Nyonya cuisines in town. The food served here are more towards home cooked style and I’m sure your family members, friends and colleagues would be impressed.

Availability For booking: 2 February 2011 – 17 February 2011

If you think your loved ones deserved to get the best there is in Penang, you can try out Chin Bee Tea Restaurant, my most recommended restaurant in Penang. You would surely not regret having dined in this personalized dining restaurant (私房餐廳). Not only are the ingredients the freshest and of high quality, you would experience dishes that are personally cooked in ways that you would not get elsewhere.
