2024 Simpang Ampat Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)

🍜 Dining at Pek Kong Cheng, Bukit Mertajam

#wecreate #foodie #penang Address: Jalan Pasar, 14000 Bukit Mertajam, Pulau Pinang Ambiance: The newly renovated food court was situated just beside the Tua Pek Kong temple. It had a good mix of modern and old interior, and it managed to capture the retro chinese vibes they were looking for! To be honest, there weren't much food stalls available yet so there weren't plenty of choices available for us to try. Some food we ordered wasn't as tasty as well but we are sure it'll be better as time goes by! Pricing: Slightly higher than the usual hawker centres, but still not bad. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Japanese Dinner Night@Manzen Izakaya, Penang

Manzen Izakaya is a popular Japanese restaurant, styled after a traditional izakaya—a casual Japanese bar where people gather for drinks and small plates. Known for its relaxed atmosphere and authentic Japanese offerings, Manzen Izakaya typically provides a cozy space for people to enjoy sake, beer, and an extensive menu of Japanese comfort food. The restaurant’s interior often resembles a classic Japanese izakaya with dim lighting, wooden furnishings, and sometimes lanterns or decor that brings out a cozy, intimate vibe. It’s a great spot for unwinding, either solo or with friends, and has a welcoming environment that feels both casual and vibrant. Manzen Izakaya offers a range of traditional Japanese dishes, including yakitori (grilled skewers), tempura, sashimi, and takoyaki (octopus balls). Small plates are the focus, allowing guests to sample a variety of flavors. Their grilled skewers, especially those of meat and vegetables, are popular choices, often seasoned with unique marinades. As with traditional izakayas, Manzen Izakaya has a robust drinks menu featuring Japanese sake, shochu, and beer. They may also offer sake-tasting flights or unique cocktails to pair with the food, providing an authentic Japanese drinking experience. Beyond the small plates, Manzen Izakaya might also offer heartier Japanese dishes like ramen, udon, or rice bowls. These are often comforting, filling, and flavorful, making the restaurant suitable for both light bites and more substantial meals. If you enjoy a mix of flavorful Japanese food in a laid-back environment, Manzen Izakaya would be an ideal choice for a relaxing night out. The izakaya atmosphere gives it a distinct charm that many diners appreciate. #coupletravel #couplestrip #travelwithgeo #myitinerary #foodie

Coffee Time at Coffee Bean Design Village

#malaysiatrip 📍Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Design Village, Penang Visited Coffee Bean and tea leaf in Design Village while doing some shopping there and we had a good time here! The café is huge with multiple seatings and tables, great place for small talks, dates and also work on laptops! The ambiance of the coffee store was lively and happening with chatters and laughters of visiting patrons. We were immediately greeted by strong coffee aroma as soon as we stepped into the store! Service from the staff was great and friendly. Lovely coffee selections with top tier coffee beans selection. We ordered iced blended mocha and flat white which were really nice! Great place to hang out and chill while visiting Design Village.

🥖 Rustic Minimalist Bakery Cafe 🍰

#foodie #deliciousfood #cafe if you just want to kick and and relax from the scorching sun while at Simpang Ampat, Penang, head over to 65c Ondo Bakery Cafe. Located at Eco Bloom, this Japanese inspired rustic bakery cafe gives off an eclectic and cosy vibe. They have a selection of cakes and bread, as well as a small menu selection of hot food. We tried the Creamy Pasta with Chicken Bacon which we loved. The creaminess and the taste of the bacon bits goes very well. We also sampled the Fried Chicken Chop, but this was nothing to shout about. It came served with a side of salad dressed in kewpie sesame mayonnaise, BBQ sauce and fries. The pastries, especially the croissants are simply delicious. Flaky on the outside and soft on the inside. Simply what you'll be looking for in a good croissant.

🍣🍤 Sashimi & Unagi at Penang Izakaya 🍣🍤

Located at the new lifestyle hub at Iconic Point, Simpang Ampat, this Japanese Izakaya dishes up surprisingly good quality and tasty food. The sashimi was fresh and sliced thickly which was well appreciated, and the sushi roll was good. We ordered a few bento boxes each with the unagi set that came with a bowl of udon. Price wise, it is worth the price point for the freshness, quality and portion. Service was also attentive. Location: Manzen Izakaya Japanese Cuisine 9-1&11-1, Jalan Iconic Point, 14100 Simpang Ampat, Pulau Pinang Opens Daily: 11.30am-3.00pm, 6.00pm -10.00pm

Very nice place for food. Variety of choices for you to chooose. Worth visiting, it’s just right beside a temple. The curry mee is nice, make sure to try it, but the parking and traffic is crazy, so if you are driving, try to car pool or take grab. Else jus haad to stuck at the jam and rounding few rounds for parking. Go there early to avoid the jam if possible! Overall, worth visiting

Flavourful Claypot Flower Crab

If you're around the area, I'd recommend trying out the claypot flower crab herbal soup which is very flavorful and fresh. The roasted pork knuckle was also good - tender and not chewy. We also enjoyed the simple stir fried french beans with pickled radish and sea asparagus with ginko and mixed vegetables. Address - Restaurant Tai Thong, Juru, Kampung Tersusun, 14000 Simpang Ampat, Pulau Pinang Ambiance/Facilities - Typical coffee shop setting. Highlights - Claypot flower crab in herbal soup is fresh and delicious. Pork knuckle is tender with the right amount of fat and lean meat. Avg.
