Deluxcious Spa Cuisine & Café

If you’re a Spa person, please do not hesitate to drop by this place which had been operated for almost 5 years in this beautiful island.

Currently they are doing some kind of promotion that is 2hour Spa at RM165 with footbath, 45mins of massage scrub and Jacuzzi with Herbal Bath, on top of that a 5 course set dinner is inclusive. Apart from this, they are also having a promotion if you order a glass of their fruit juice, another glass for free. It’s like buy 1 free 1.

The person in charge was wondering why are we keep taking photo shots when we were there, and he was kind enough to explain to me this place has been for around for 5 years. The Chef is very particular about their food standard and their customer’s satisfaction. They are not only serving Western Cuisine but also Fusion.

In fact, what we had for today is more of Fusion feel than Western. They have variety of main course for their customers to choose, from RM13-90 to RM75-00 range from spaghetti to Wagyu Beef.

Set Lunch which started from either Soup of the Day or Salad to Main Course, follow by Dessert and end with either a cup of Coffee or Tea.

Hubby chose Salad as starter.

And I chose their Soup of The Day which is Tomato Soup.

Both serves with 2 hot bun.

Follow by our main course, which is Lily Curry Rice with Unagi. I kept asking the supervisor, why would you call it Lily? He was smiling at me and explained that it’s only a name. You can name it anything you like, Annie, Amy, Catherine, etc.

Hubby have Cilantro Chicken with Wasabi Potato Puree & Vine Tomato Vinaigrette. What an impressive name to name this dish isn’t it?? First bite of the chicken was tender and juicy. It has those slightly sweet, then we realize they actually used teriyaki sauce to marinate the chicken and then grill it.

After the main course, the supervisor was very nice to take me around and allow me to take some pictures. While I was doing so, he also explained to me that they also cater for private functions. They can arrange the setting as per customers’ request or their preference. He told me that the owner of this place has very particular request, which is every corner of this restaurant has to have essential oil light up. Even the washroom is not avoidable. I have taken a few shots, and also the bar counter… it was indeed beautifully set up.

Apart from that, if you are a music lover, there’s a band here on every Friday and Saturday, from 8pm to 11pm. They will all choice of music for their customers, ranging from Mandarin songs to English songs.

They even have a private room for customers that likes to have some fun on Karaoke, RM250 per night to enjoy all sorts of songs that they like.

After all these, my dessert is served.

A cup of coffee that ends the lunch and the photo shootings.

Opera


Have you ever have a gigantic salad bowl for a Mee Udang (Prawn Mee)?? Oh well, I have one tonight. And it was a pleasant dinner that hubby and I had; we both were extremely enjoying the environment and the surrounding atmosphere. Not to forget the service was absolutely satisfying!

Opera has opened for business for almost 3 years and it’s well known by the tourists but not the locals. It’s serving Oriental Food, but it’s more of Fusion food to me. It also awarded the Market Source Publishing Best Restaurant in Penang for Fusion Cuisine in year 2007.

This place has become happening since 6 to 7 years ago. Before that, it was a 2-way street where the shops are old and nobody wants to rent. Since government had closed down the road and revamped the stretch of shop houses, this place has become a new tourist spot.

Opposite this row of shop houses, you will have Garage where it has Slippery Sonority discotheque and Momo. This row of shop houses had turned out to be eatery shops too, some are now under renovation.

Anyway, I can’t recall where I read about Opera in Upper Penang Road and I told hubby let’s try out this place. Before we enter, we saw a couple of foreigners occupied the tables. Just like the person told us, this place is well known by the tourist but not the local. First we thought this is a western food restaurant, and we never expect it’s an oriental food.

Both of us were excited about this place, and honestly we scrutinized the menu that they handed to us.

The food that they offer is merely Fusion, for example for a Starter they have Mango Wanton, Pupadum Minty Dip.

They recommended the Oriental Spring Roll (RM16) for our Starter. The presentation was absolutely marvellous and beautiful. Hubby loves the spring roll, but I find it a bit oily. Taste wise, nothing to complain.

While we were waiting for our food, they are kind enough to tell us that upstairs is the washroom, and they also have things for sale too. Things like plates, cutleries, statues, etc.

As for the washroom, I was never expected it was actually upstairs of the restaurant and it’s nicely decorated too. Don’t believe me, check this out then.

When we came down, our drinks are being served. They recommended Coffee Tarik (RM10) if we would like to have a cup of coffee for the dinner. Well, hubby has op for it and he likes it very much. Though is local coffee, but it’s something different claimed from him.

As for our Main Entrée, hubby had Spicy Chicken with Cashew Nuts (RM24).

And I chose the Penang Best Prawn Mee aka Local Mee Udang (RM22).

I was stunned with the food was served and presented, especially for my Mee Udang basically is served in a gigantic bowl. 4 big prawns and 1 hard boiled egg, soup base is very much tomato taste.

And hubby is telling me that the portion that they served is huge. For a big eater like him, he really finds it big.

Total damage is RM83.60 for both of us. I know it’s kind of pricey, I think that’s the price that we gotta pay for the service and the environment.
