I've travelled around the whole of Asia and I normally have breakfast at my hotel but for once thought that I'd have breakfast outside of my hotel as i assumed wrongly that it would be easy to find a place for breakfast in Batu Ferringhi. Unfortunately Batu Ferringhi doesn't have that many places open in the morning but we did... More

Food here was very good and service quick, despite being pretty busy. Good vfm at £6-£8 per head including beers. Having eaten elsewhere in Penang and KL, I dont understand comments about being overpriced - value is good compared to similar establishments in the area. More
