Suffolk House, Penang

On my birthday this year, Hubby took me to a nice restaurant here in Penang which many people may not know about. It's an old heritage house which part of it has been turned into a fine dining restaurant. The place itself is called Suffolk House and the location is just behind Methodist Boys' School.

My parents were so kind as to look after Hannah so we could go and have a nice lunch. We both took off from work on the day so we could spend more time together. It was supposed to be dinner, but Hubby was called to a late meeting at the last minute so we did lunch instead.

When he called to book and enquire, he was told that it would be between RM85 to RM120 per person, however, when we came for lunch, we were pleasantly surprised to see that the prices were very affordable, ranging from between 30 something to 50 something plus plus per set. The price he was quoted was probably for their dinner sets which are more elaborate.

See the happy faces of people who didn't need to pay as much as expected :) Okay, okay, I guess we were happy to be there and enjoying each other's company too! :)



For starters, I had the salad which was very delicious. I am not a food blogger so I am not that good in describing the food, therefore I will let the pictures do the talking.



Hubby had the soup which was a strange mixture of peas and mint, but it tasted very good!



For the main course we had chicken and salmon. Hubby's chicken was really good with the orange flavour being infused into the chicken. My salmon was also very fresh and the mash potatoes which came with it were scrumptious!



For dessert it was chocolate brownies with ice cream. The brownies were warm and soft and chocolatey, just the way I like it! And the ice cream was chock-full of nuts, chocolate chips and cherries (probably made by the chef himself and not bought from the store).



We then took the opportunity to take lots of photos around the house and the grounds. Here are some of them:





This is what greeted us at the entrance:



Now you can see the whole banner:



Bridge over troubled waters - nice!



Thanks Hubby for a wonderful afternoon! I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys eating, drinking and taking in a wonderful view! :)
