#hiddengems We stumbled upon this restaurant while we were in George Town and thought we'd have lunch there. However, they mentioned a reservation was required. So we returned the following month with reservations ready. We didn't know it was included in the Michelin Guide then. So remember to make a reservation before walking in. Food wise, we ordered a few dishes and love the otak otak most. Tomyam was good albeit a slightly small portion. Overall, the food was quite good, and the ambiance is nice. If you're looking for Michelin recommended Thai food, then this is a hidden gem. Location: Thara Penang, 5, Lorong Prangin, George Town, 10300 George Town, Pulau Pinang Opening Days: Friday to Wednesday Closed on Thursdays. #deliciousfood #penang
