Straits City Café

My wife and I at Straits City Café (27 August 2016)


Straits City Café (GPS: 5.4268, 100.32175) is a restaurant in George Town, Penang. It is located within Straits City Beauty Spa in the MBf Tower, along Northam Road. The restaurant serves a fusion of Japanese and Italian cuisine which includes various pasta dishes as well as baked rice. One of its signature dishes is the Hokkaido Honey Toast.

My wife and I had the pleasure of having our lunch here, where we visited Straits City to try out its spa program. If you are on a Couples Package at Straits City spa, you enjoy one free set of meal here. Most items come with the option of a là carte or set, which also includes a soup, a salad and a detox water.

During our visit, we had a chance to try the Baked Rice with Salmon & Mushrooms (RM24.80 a là carte/RM28.80 set), the Japanese Neapolitan Spaghetti (RM20.80/RM25.80), the Omu Rice Tori Tomato (RM22.80/RM26.80), the Wafu Spaghetti with Vegetable (RM21.80/RM26.80), and the restaurant's signature item, the Hokkaido Honey Toast. Everything was delicious (maybe also because we were so hungry after going to the spa), in particular the Baked Rice with Salmon & Mushrooms, the Japanese Neopolitan Spaghetti and the Hokkaido Honey Toast.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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