Usually my first stop on any trip to Penang, this Georgetown royalty serves excellent banana leaf's to hallways jammed with smiles. If you're in the mood for something else they do a great masala dosa, but it's not the best in town. Super cheap, super delicious and always packed with revellers, this is a MUST SEE spot in Penang. continue reading

We reached Penang in the evening and this was our first stop for tea. The place is packed so some patience is needed before getting a table. Service I would say is rather crappy due to perhaps the crowd. What draws people to this place must be the food which was awesome. We had mostly tea time stuff like pulut, vaade, currypuff, kesari and baaji. Judging from the quality and taste I can imagine the rest would be just as good. They also make good tea to wash down all the food.In terms of cleanliness I would rate this place similar like most indian restaurants around Penang. Not dirty but not clean as well. Do note it does get noisy due to being a closed restaurant however in my opinion that is half the charm. If you want a quiet fine dining place then obviously this isn't it but doubt you would get as good a selection of food and taste. continue reading

Naan cheese with tandoori chickenNaan cheese served with tandoori chicken is one of my all time favourite dish at Sri Ananda Bahwan Restaurant. The naan is filled with melted cheese which complements the smokiness of the tandoori chicken. The tandoori chicken itself is juicy and packed with flavour. continue reading
