Since the new Fernicular Train (click here)  is up and running, alot of tourist have flock this place to take an opportunity to head to Penang Hill as one of the main tourist attractions. After a short walk from the station, then as we walk pass by, we saw this unique hut that mention David Brown’s Restaurant, but the restaurant is no where to be seen.

If you seated futher out at the edge of the restaurant, this is the view you going to enjoy, Marvelous view over Penang. That is why, its not cheap . .Well, you pay for the ambiance and view. .

I would say, if you are looking for something more relax and something different for meal or afternoon tea, this would be a good place to hang out once in a blue blue moon . .

*have not actually tried the food as came here for light meals only.

What I we do get a chance to dine in a big open space green field with flowers blooming and cool wind towards us and enjoying our afternoon tea or lunch? That would be a chance that I do not want to miss. A new concept had been build upon for people like us, city dwellers that seldom got a chance to expose ourselves in those natural environment but something similar would be available to enjoy at The Garden Lifestyle Store and café which is located at The Curve with one of their originals at lower ground, 1-Utama.

Comes to think of it, this would be one of my longest food post so far. So hopefully you don read this during before lunch or dinner time.

Garden

They have the idea trying to bring the ambiance as relaxing as possible by decorating the whole place green with fan ceiling on the top, big bird cage a pianist to play for a relaxing moment.

In the restaurant they have two dining area, one would be open garden concept which would suits those who love air or smokers especially to be seated in this section but only one scenario that you guys should fear is rain!

Garden (3)

A big cage decorated as the place to make it a bit english style.

Garden (12)

When you feel that you are lonely or waiting for friends to arrive, a pianist that actually playing there with relaxing music (a bit of classical) to cheer up your mood.

Garden (4)

According to some of the girls, he is consider cute and with a guy able to play piano for them on certain occasions, they consider that as romantic, which I nod my head and agree. 🙂

For those who do not like to be in outdoor by maintain fairer skin or prefer to be somewhere chill, indoor section would be a good choice after all, as it is decorated with lots of flowers, mini tress and pots to stir up the indoor ambiance.

Garden (7)

Looks more like a tree style cafe dining.

 With all this, we could not thank more to Tracy for being one of the best host whom are very friendly, warm, down to earth person type and also she do focus alot on food management of the restaurant especially on food quality control.
