A fine dining in the heartlands of Batu
Ferringhi.
It was partially impromptu that we landed
ourselves at the Ferringhi Garden restaurant. It was recommended by a close
friend of Mummy Mae that this would be a nice dining option to consider. We
initially planned to visit Gurney for their wide array of local delights, but
due to limited time we decided to settle our dinner somewhere nearby. Ferringhi
Garden Restaurant did not quite catch our eyes at first. Its modest entrance
was hiding amidst potteries of plants and flowers. We took a stroll along
various eateries while glancing through their menus; this is when we notice
from the menu labels that we have reached the place which we are searching for.
When we entered Ferringhi Garden, we were
greeted by a Balinese alfresco setting. Wooden furniture resting peacefully,
laid with fine dining cutleries and the oil lamp on each table lits your way
through the restaurant. We chose a table at the indoor area and were glad to
find that they do provide high chairs for babies. When Mummy Mae and Daddy Pok
each took turns to survey the venue, we were surprised to find that the area of
the restaurant was quite big. The building was extended to the back towards
their private car park area. There is a stretch of tables at the outdoor for
nature lovers, a bar in the middle and another dining room which houses a mini
bar and dining tables with an authentic Nyonya touch.
Ferringi Garden Restaurants serves an array
of western and local delights. We ordered a salad, a set of satay, roasted
chicken and cabonara pasta. The boys loved the chicken and satay. We find that
the dishes were quite palatable except for the satay. The price of the food was
somewhat steep, and the local dish was not comparable to the street delights in
Penang.
Well, overall we give thumbs up to the
ambience of the restaurant but we believe we could find more yummy food
elsewhere in Penang. If you are on a date and wanting to impress your partner,
then this will be a perfect place for you to visit; But if you are looking for
cheap and yummy food to satisfy your palate, this place may not be on the top
of your list. Of course, we have yet to try their high-end Angus Beef steak and
such, it probably may have given us another round of surprise.
