(Latest Update: This Place Had Stopped Operation on (12/01/10) Due to Some Business Issue.)
Looking for a place which serves more than just Penang food and which is less crowded yet with plentiful of parking space? A place which is romantic enough to spend some quality time with your special ones and where the food is great and price is affordable?
It is not easy to find such place with all the requirement above. However, this time I managed to discover this place which is Brown House. The location of Brown House is very easy to be spotted. It is located just opposite 1-stop Midlands Park Complex in Pulau Tikus.
The building is a big mansion with huge parking space.
Ground floor, the common dining area which is fully air-conditioned.
First floor, with private rooms as well as open-space dining area.
Main Courses:
Pork Chop – RM17.90, this is one of my favorites. Although it may have the plain Jane look, but the taste was definitely not plain. The pork chop was marinated with lemon grass and spices. It was than deep-fried and served with fries and salad. The crust was very crunchy while the meat was very soft and juicy. Therefore, never judge a book by its cover.

Laksa, one of the top food to be hunted if you are in Penang. There are a lot of places in Penang which have great laksa. These include Balik Pulau Laksa and Air Itam Laksa. However, you need to take the hassle to drive through the winding road or even pack with tourists for the bowl of laksa.
If you are at the town area and hoping to avoid these 2 tourist-packed places, a good suggestion will be at Taman Emas Coffee Shop at Gottlieb Road, Pulau Tikus. This coffee shop is located at the Gottlieb Road, opposite Penang Chinese Girl High School.
The stall of Laksa is just in front of the coffee shop.

I used to complain that the Korean food in Penang is not as authentic as those in KL and other places. However, this shut my mouth after I tried out the Korean food at Sa Rang Chae Korean BBQ and Korean cuisine restaurant.
First of all, I need to thank CK Lam for the arrangement of this review and also enable us to have the chance to try out this delicious Korean cuisine.
It is not hard to locate this restaurant, if you are driving to Gottlieb road from Greenlane, you will see “Peng Hwa” Penang Chinese Girl High School on your left and there is a row of shops on your right and that place is called New Bob Center. At the left corner of New Bob Center, you will see the Korean restaurant called Sa Rang Chae. I remember there was a Korean restaurant (Arirang) here before and it has been taken over by Sa Rang Chae.
As soon as we arrived, our table was full with all the side dishes. There wasn’t even an empty space to place our rice bowl also. It looked just like a feast which will last for 3 days and 3 nights.

“Sawadeecup”, this is the few Thai language that I know how to speak. Although, I am not the expert for Thai language but for Thai food, I have more than sufficient knowledge to tell what is good and what is not. I had been told by friends that this is a great place to try out Thai food, however I haven’t been here until a recent family outing. The place is not too hard to be located as it is a stone’s throw from BORR (Butterworth Outer Ring Road.)
If you are going from Penang bridge to this place via North South Expressway, follow the way to Permatang Pauh, do not exit at Permatang Pauh. Use the next exit after Permatang Pauh which is to Bagan Ajam and Sungai Dua. Once out keep to you left which is on Butterworth Outter Ring Road. After the second flyover keep left and make a U-turn to Jalan Raja Uda. Move forward for another 50 meters and you will see Khuntai Restaurant on your right hand side. For the GPS location, please refer to the end of this post.
By the way, the car park here is free. As you can see, not only the food here is authentic, the ambience is also in a very classical and traditional Thai mood. It gives you the “return to nature” feeling.

Harwicke House has always been an urge for me to drop by for dinner after work. In fact this place is so near to my office by walking distance. However, I was not so sure about the taste and the price of this place until now. Thanks to Jason and Gill from Gourmet Garden for organizing this fantastic review.
Hardwicke House is always the perfect location for social functions, reunion dinners, press conferences, weddings, wedding engagements and parties. The look from outside this building is elegant with high-rise tower resounding this heritage building.
Most people will be attracted to reasonably-priced buffets.
The salad bar serves a wide array of salad, it is a haven for vegans.
