Yup, with an authentic British heritage and garden ambience, as well as a bird's eye view of Penang's landmarks and its city skyline, David Brown's Restaurant & Tea Terraces stands tall (literally!) as the perfect, memorable dining spot in Penang
It took us approximately 15 minutes to get up to the peak of Penang Hill via the funicular train
When we arrived, we were buzzing around – just like everyone else – taking in the picturesque scenery of the entire Penang island and mainland.
Our tummies got the better of us so, we adjourned to the elegant, British-styled restaurant for lunch + tea time.
It was not only beautifully appointed, it was baronial – the historical British interior design was lovely!
The dining area was spick and span, spacious impeccably furnished with rustic wooden furniture and a brick-built mantelpiece as well
But being the al-fresco enthusiast I am, we moved out into the terrace; on the porch overlooking the garden.
A little bit of sunshine does everyone good!
French Onion Soup as the starter
It was amazing! The buttery hint and rich aroma of onions was to die for. If you're a fan of onions just like us, that is.
We also loved the texture, so thick and chunky not too creamy at all. Crisp croutons came as an accompaniment.
Mine : Roast Lamb Shank
I loved this in its entirety! It was such a delicious and hearty meal.
The meat had just the right tenderness. It was definitely simmered to perfection, thus juicy and succulent as you sink your teeth into it.
Its rich and flavoursome gravy alongside baby carrots, onions, cauliflower, celery, mushrooms did a magnificent job in complementing the meaty taste. It came with Mashed Potatoes as a side too.
His : Oxtail Soup & Dumplings
Despite the flavourful tomato and meaty taste, most of the oxtail chunks had very little meat on it.
It was so difficult to gnaw into whatever little meat that clung onto the bone! Must be a very skinny ox, with an equally bony tail, methinks. Don't order Oxtail before reading how to eat it properly lest you end up looking like a Neanderthal.
Wanting to make the best out of this visit (and being the sweet tooths we are), we ended up ordering some chocolatey dessert!
When I came back to the table, the dessert was waiting on the table for me!
Tempting.. tempting..Chocolate Crepe served with Chocolate Ice-Cream & Strawberries
What can I say? We both love chocolate. This sweet and simple dish suited our tastebuds well
Fork a swatch of the crepe, dip it with the ice-cream and poke into a strawberry – and that's the way to go!
We took a light stroll around the cottage garden after our meal
Well fed by David Brown's Restaurant & Tea Terraces, it's no wonder we had to walk around a little bit to ease our over-filled tummies!
Pretty sights amongst nature and walking along the gravel path – count me in!
Great times and great memories atop Penang Hill
