Ming Garden Restaurant at Penang Times Square

There is a new Chinese restaurant in town. Recently opened at the Penang Times Square, Ming Garden Restaurant is undoubtedly one of the largest restaurants on the island. Built in 20,000 square feet of space, Ming Garden can accommodate up to 100 banquet tables or 1000 pax.

The restaurant has an impressive décor, most notably for the colourful and modern lantern-shaped pendant lamps adorning the ceilings of the restaurant. Those who opt to dine in private will also not be disappointed because it has an abundance of elegantly designed private dining rooms, equipped with AV or karaoke systems for their singing pleasure.

We were impressed with the food. The cooking style was simple yet creative and the ingredients used were fresh, to note a few. This is definitely one Chinese restaurant to watch out for in Penang.

The restaurant offers set menus which are reasonably priced including birthday set menus starting from RM398++ and wedding packages starting from RM378+.

Swens Homemade Cake

Swens Homemade Cake makes some of the most beautiful wedding cakes in Penang. The man behind all these beautiful cakes is Swens Wong who has been in this business, together with his wife, for 10 years now. He operates from his home at Taman Sin Chor Chit Apartment, Block 10-G-2.

Check out Swens' blog at http://swenscake.blogspot.com/ and you will be overwhelmed by the variety of cakes that Swens and his wife have created over the years. Their specialty is wedding cakes but they are also famous for their 'Creativity" range of cakes and their fruit cakes.

According to Swens, they can customize the wedding cakes based on your request and fancy so just let your imagination and creativity decide .

Recently, I ordered a "Black & White" cake from their "Creativity" range. Swens highly recommended this sellout cake of his. The cake may look small for a 1kg and sound expensive at RM90 but it is definitely worth it because it was very compact and full of chocolate. The chocolate brownie cake was very moist and the flower petals are made from white chocolate. The blue chocolate at the side are coloured with natural food coloring. The result was a beautiful and chic cake that was also yummy at the same time.

They are currently renovating their new showroom next to their house so customers can view their work and they can discuss about the design of the cake they want in a nice and comfortable setting.
