Kurtos Spiroll is a shop in Penang that sells a unique Hungarian popular snack called Kurtos Kalacs.

The Safe Room has become one of the most talked about restaurants on social media lately. It is the first restaurant in Penang that specializes in liquid nitrogen desserts.

Another highlight is the nitrogen ice cream, which is creamy and meltingly soft.
This Western restaurant in Penang makes you feel at home with its simple and unpretentious interior design and decorations.

It is paired with cheese and ham and baked until the toast is slightly crispy on the outside. A must-try popular snack if you visit this nice little eatery.
Bittersweet Café is a popular dessert house in Penang that is famous for snow ice and waffles. We highly recommend their durian flavored snow ice, which is served with layers of ice that is extremely soft and rich in durian flavors. A terrific dessert to cool down on a hot day!
Located at Chulia Street, this café in Penang is very popular among tourists and locals. Although a wide variety of dishes are available on the menu, their bagels are the major crowd-pullers. The cafe's signature Cream Cheese Smoke Salmon is a savory bagel with raw salmon and cheese. The bagel is baked to perfection with a texture that is just right, not too soft or hard. An ideal place to visit for breakfast and snack!
One of the best places in Penang for mouth-watering waffles! Brown Pocket offers limited choices of foods, but every single item is unique and delicious.

Don't miss this café when you visit Penang!
Bake & Brew is transformed from a café into a restaurant. Now, they offer a wide range of Western delights, including main dishes, cakes, toasts, puffs and sandwiches. A chef recommended dish here is the Wild Mushroom Cappuccino. It is not a coffee, but a mushroom soup that is prepared using mushroom that is ground into a fine powder, so that the soup can maintain the fragrance and nutrition of the mushroom. A creative and delicious mushroom soup that looks like a Cappuccino!
