Main Street Cafe (GPS: 5.42135, 100.33285) is a 24-hour restaurant at Cititel Penang. It is located at the far end of the hotel lobby. The restaurant offers a continuous selection of buffet meals throughout the day, with a wide array of dishes from breakfast through lunch and to dinner. The restaurant is equipped with 24-hour broadband Internet access, enabling diners the freedom to surf the web when they dine at the restaurant.

Main Street Cafe is one of the hotel restaurants in Penang that I have featured on my "Tim Introduces" food series. We did the photoshoot on 26 June, 2016, when I have the opportunity to observe the restaurant team working together to showcase what Main Street Cafe has to offer. I am gratified to see the meticulous attention to detail, and am pleased to say that the food at Main Street Cafe is as soon as it looks.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
