 If you are a big fan of 'Bak Chang' (Rice Dumplings) and 'Or Kuih' (Yam Cake), Cintra Food Corner is definitely a perfect place for you.

 Recommended by a good friend of ours, we decided to try the Spice and Rice Restaurant on His Birthday! Sandwiched between Light Street Convent and Green Hall Road, Spice and Rice Restaurant & Bar is in a British colonial building opposite Penang High Court. It is open for lunch and dinner. Parking lot is limited but there are plenty near the vicinity of Dewan Sri Pinang. That night, we made a convenience stroll from Dewan Sri Pinang heading for gastronomical adventure at Spice and Rice. |

Historically for Chinese in … |
