“ this is great place for dinner. i have been here for dinner since few years. the food is really nice, and we have a mix of western and oriental food on the menu too. the atmosphere is good too. we can get the traditional restaurant feel. love that they still have physical menu unse glass of each table and we can place order in traditional way. personally i hate those new restaurants with Scan QR To Order system. parking is available at the church compound, but with charges. alternatively customer can park at MBPP parking lot available along the roads nearby. only one complain is their operating hours are too early. so its impossible to get late dinner here. overall is a very good place and we will continue to come. ”

“ The Hainan Pork Chop came beautifully plated in true Hainanese style—a golden-brown pork chop, lightly battered and pan-fried until crispy on the outside, yet still juicy and tender inside. What really made it special was the nostalgic, slightly tangy tomato-based gravy ladled generously over the meat. It reminded me of home-cooked meals from a bygone era—simple, hearty, and full of character. Everything on the plate worked together to deliver that familiar yet hard-to-find comfort of an old-school Hainanese Western meal. ”

“ If you’re a fan of hearty, flavorful dishes cooked with that irresistible wok hei, The Lighthouse Cafe in Georgetown, Penang, is an absolute gem. This place is a haven for noodle and fried rice lovers, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best spots in town for a satisfying meal. The noodles here are a masterpiece—perfectly charred, smoky, and packed with flavor. Every bite delivers that signature wok hei aroma that makes you feel like you’re eating at a top-notch street food stall, but with the comfort of a cozy restaurant setting. The fried rice is equally impressive, with each grain distinct yet coated in a delicious, savory flavor that keeps you coming back for more. What really stood out to me was the generous portion sizes. You definitely get your money’s worth here—every dish is served in big, hearty portions that are perfect for sharing or for those with a big appetite. ”

“ Lovely hidden gem located in a church compound with plenty of parking (only RM2!). There’s a small café and a restaurant side by side – both serve the same menu and you can order from either one. The food is old-school, hearty, and reasonably priced. Great value for money! It can get quite busy during lunch and dinner, so go early if you want a seat. A cosy, no-frills spot for a satisfying meal. ”

“ Pork Chop - 6.1/10 Normal for me. Sauce Fried Rice - 8.8 work hey, very flavorful without sambal. Add extra egg. Recommended Under RM10 Char Hor Fan - 8.4 work hey, also recommended Under Rm10 Overall, go for the Chinese food and western food try avoid the hainan ones. Hot place if not raining, great if cool. Come back: Yes ”

Everything come in big portion. Hidden menu kopi O ice with ice cream if you got chance to be there. Overall price vs quality definitely must try when u travel in Penang. ”

“ This area used to be my primary school about 40 years ago. Now it’s transformed into a huge three-section café selling all sorts of food, from Western to Chinese, pizza to stir-fry. According to my brother, it’s almost always packed, and I can see why. The place keeps its old-school indoor décor, giving off that “olden days” vibe, and serves big portions at low prices — a rare combination these days when everything seems expensive. It’s a smart strategy that keeps people coming back. Fast service and turnovers. Flavour-wise, it’s not the most mind-blowing food you’ll ever have, but honestly, it’s exactly what you’d expect for the price you pay. Big plates, full stomach, small bill — sometimes that’s all you need. ”

“ Great combination of good food, vibe and reasonable prices. Another hidden gem situated at the top end of Penang Rd. Favourites to try include Fried hor fun, hokkien and hainan mee, Hainan chicken chop, pork chop and their signature bacon fried rice. Really tasty food and great service. Good vfm for generous helpings. Also offering pizzas, burgers, pies and small selection of pasta dishes. ”
