  • For Thai cuisine -
    ----------------------
    Try Baan Chiang Puak ( White Elephant ) at Burma Road ...well this restaurant is more classy type compared to earlier hawkers food I mentioned

    nice Thai setting and music...

    Also there is one Thai restaurant called Yellow Light ( near Tanjung Tokong and Island Plaza ).

    so just try the Green Curry (yu can choose to go with Prawn, or meat etc etc ) and Otak otak will be good enough ( be warned that the Green Curry is quite spicy ...so you may want to ask them to make it not so hot ) ...well as for me the hotter the better ...

    This is a restaurant on top of one of the mountains in Penang. It serve Thai cuisine, but i must say the dishes are normal not fantastic but the scenery is superb. Try going up in the evening, and you get the nicest sunset ever. I think the sun set about 6 45pm. Therefore tried to reach the top around 630pm ordered your food and also a couple of beer and just sit back relax and enjoy the sunset.

    The dish is normal Thai cuisine, but can try the Tom Yam soup.

  • Directions: It is not very easy to find the place as it is located on the top of the mountain. You need a car to drive up and it is on a muddy winding road up. Contact a local if you are interested.

    You an also eat steamboat in the VIP hut with your family. The hut is situated at the edge of the road overlooking the whole Penang.

    Oh ya the opening time is from 1130pm till 10 00pm. Becareful if you are driving down in the night, as it can be qute a challenge to drive down the hill during the night with no road lamp.

    This hillside restaurant located about 10 minutes drive from Bayan Lepas town. And it is located in a remote area and quite difficult to find. You gotta watch out for some roadsigns to bring you to the top. The road is pretty steep and narrow, I suggest you to get a decent car--say, 1.5 and above. Well, you don't really need a 4x4. For visitors, I would advice that to arrange with your tour guide or hotel for transportation. I don't think taxi would be able to bring you up there. Anyway, it is worth the trip for all the hassle to this spectacular and stunning hillside retreat with unique individual dinning "house" and the alfresco is also very pleasing to your eyes. It also offers a boatlike accommodation if you like to stay overnight.
    The restaurant serves Thai cuisine. The delicious and spicy food is among the best in Penang and also priced reasonably. Famous with their kerabu, green curries, plad padprik, pud pet chicken, lemon squids and of course the best is still Tomyam. Get some cool drinks if you can't take spicy food, as they are really cooked with those red hot small chillies.

    Dining in such a great place is just wondeful. What can I say more ! Just take the spicy food slowly and enjoy the breathtaking views and the fresh air. Stay a little longer with your love one. Enjoy the dark blue sky till you see the stars. No rush! They close at 10pm, I think.
