Penang


Located at the top of Penang Hill, this restaurant has an open-air terrace that's probably the island's most atmospheric destination for colonial-style high tea (3pm to 6pm); the full deal for two people is RM108. It also has a good selection of Western dishes, including chunky sandwiches with fries and beef Wellington.
