Happy Garden

Happy Garden, Batu Ferringhi, Penang (16 March 2021)


Happy Garden (GPS: 5.46874, 100.24455) is a Hainanese restaurant in Batu Ferringhi, Penang. It occupies a single-storey bungalow on the hillside, surrounded by a big garden. The restaurant has been operating since January 1985. The restaurant has served legends of guests to the beach hotels, many of whom have become frequent visitors.

Happy Garden is famed for the authenticity of its local Hainanese cuisine, which is a fusion created by Hainanese chefs to serve their colonial masters in the early 20th century. This is reflected in its menu, which include hors-d'œuvres, soups, seafood, grills and Chinese cuisine.

My wife and I enjoyed the pleasure of an invitation to Happy Garden on 16 March 2021. We were there at the invitation of its owner Sherine Lim. Our dinner started with springrolls which are crispy and delicious.

The next item we enjoyed was chicken chop. This was done in the Hainanese style, with a generous amount of onions and green peas. Next came fried noodle topped with sliced fried eggs and red chilli. After we finished all that, Sherine added one more item, the sizzling hot plate pork chop.

I enjoyed all the food very much and look forward to future visits.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
