China House

Very nice atmosphere, good food, great variety of drinks, both alco and non. But special award goes to the dessert counter. Those cakes, pies and tarts are to die for!

Classic casual vibes. I LOVE THEIR CAKES! Tho it's too much for me to eat one slice by myself. Tbh the drink was pricey for me, but the cake was okay (because the slice was big). Overall a good place!

This restaurant has a different vibe to it altogether. It is a restaurant with multiple personalities. Very narrow but runs through the whole block. Tagged as the longest restaurant or maybe it should be given that title. Please do check it out if in the area. Ordered the beef burger, which if you look closely has a pineapple slice too. I am the last individual to eat pineapple but somehow this combination worked out. I liked it. They are also known for their many desserts and cakes.

We are very enthusiastic about the styling of this place and the ability to explore the different spaces within this building. It is such a great alternative and creative atmosphere. You, as guest, are also stimulated to be creative by being able to draw on a blanc paper that lays on your table. We tried the yogurt granola bowl and came back for to try the tiramisu and the salted caramel cheesecake. We liked both of them. The service was nice. The place is a bit more expensive we paid around 90-100 RM for breakfast including drinks.

The only thing we did not enjoyed was the smell of the dogs in the garden. They pied in the garden while we were eating our cakes, which made it feel less hygiene. Also, we felt like we were bitten by some insects, so we moved to a table inside of the restaurant.

All in all, we would recommend to check this place out.

The place is well hidden inside a ridiculously long shop lot. The place is packed with people, and filled with an odd mix of decor, from paintings and books to old stuffs that you would find at your grandpa's house. They have a nice selection of cakes and drinks which were good enough for me. Did not try any of their savory dishes. It's a good place to get away from the heat and humidity outside and chill out for a while.

I went to this place twice while in Penang. The first time, the staff, including the cashier, weren’t very welcoming. None of them seemed eager to take our drink orders, so I ended up ordering them at the counter along with the cakes. The guy at the counter was pretty arrogant, and after taking my order, it almost felt like he rushed me back to my seat – not a great experience. To top it off, he forgot our cakes, and we had to wait ages. It was actually a woman, who I think was the boss, who came to apologize.

Now for the food part 😂. The matcha was alright; they use Niko Neko Matcha powder. The tiramisu’s sponge cake was too dry for my taste, and I couldn’t really detect any alcohol. It was just average, didn’t live up to the hype.

On my second visit, the service was better. I was intrigued by the croissant pudding and gave it a try. It was decent, though oddly, one side was dry and the other wet – can’t figure out why.

Overall, the cake prices were a bit high. I don't think they’re really worth it.

Heavily interested for this shop long long time ago and now finally got chance to try this out. Not sure is it my expectation too high and cause the cakes feels under average. Of course, i'm order their signature tiramisu with alcohol, but the cake like (dipping in the water after baked) and make the texture weird (not cold enough too). The nuts and cream layer not bad just the cake layer...

But I really like this kind of theme cafe, can explore make your own arts and really comfortable and good experience.

The best place to get cake in Penang, try their best seller cake Tiramisu Cake. The cake is not overpowered, this cake contain alcohol. Fragrant. The nut leaves nice texture, the cream perfect. Place is unique, vintage house, instagenic! Must try if you visit to Penang
