    Update(CNY 2026)... A total disaster and flop. If you have booked yourself to CNY dinner set, cancel immediately. Food is bland, tasteless and not worth to money.

    This is a long-established restaurant in Penang. We visited for lunch the other day, and it was moderately crowded. The staff were friendly, and the environment was bright and comfortable.

    This 4-star Chinese restaurant offers fast, attentive, and sophisticated service, with a VIP room inside for families. They have a wide variety of dishes; I particularly liked the roast goose and the fish cooked with taro.
