Elds 22 @ Gurney Paragon, Gurney Drive, Penang (15) 1

Eld’s 22 @ Gurney Paragon, Gurney Drive, Penang!

Eld’s 22 is the latest new old restaurant in Gurney Paragon, Penang. You might wonder why KayaButter say that Eld’s 22 is a new old restaurant. Previously, this restaurant is called as Jarvie’s and the restaurant changed owner and the new owner decides to retain the same old restaurant but renamed it over his son’s name with Eld’s 22. Of course, the name is short-formed. 🙂 Fret not as the famous ramen burger introduced by Jarvie’s is still in the menu.

By now, KayaButter believe that many people have already known Tree Bar by G Hotel, the current most ‘in’ hangout place for people to unwind after a hard day’s work. KayaButter have always adored and loved the G brand. The G Hotel is super chic and contemporary. How we wish we can get to do a #staycation at G Hotel. 🙂 We love their buffet also (Check it out here and here also) The G brand does not disappoint with their Tree Bar also and offers the best drinks and bites in Penang.

The Famous Economy Rice Sa Kak Eng @ Jalan Air Itam, Air Itam (5) 3

The Famous Economy Rice ‘Sa Kak Eng’ @ Jalan Air Itam, Air Itam!

This is a very famous economy rice in Air Itam. It is also very popular among the Chung Ling students. They also do home catering.

The place is very packed during lunch hours. It will be quite hard to find parking spaces also. Many of them do illegal parking in front of the shop. There are some legal parking lots behind the shop. You need to drive further around 500m and make a U turn and drive into the morning market area.

The first impression that we have for Makan Kitchen is that it is a very grand and spacious restaurant.

The Oldest Nasi Kandar in Penang @ Hameediyah Restaurant, Campbell Street, Georgetown, Penang!

Coming back with a bang after being closed for a month for renovation, Hameediyah is set to redefine and raise the bar of Indian Muslim food and the ambience. On the outside, Hameediyah Restaurant still maintains its rustic and heritage feel but make no mistake, the whole restaurant is now brighter, cleaner, neater and smarter now! The floors, the walls, the toilets and the kitchens are way cleaner than last time.
