Penang Hill, one of the tourist attraction, always pack with people especially during school holidays. You can see the long queue for the train ride. If you don’t want to wait, you can always opt for the fast lane option. Of course, you will need to pay a little bit more on the ticket. I went up to Penang Hill last month for David Brown’s Christmas Menu and within a month time, I went up again for the upcoming Valentine’s Menu. This time around, the queue is not that scary as it was the last day of the school holiday. The train will take approximately 4 min and 30 seconds to reach the top.
It’s good to have a Coconut Ice Cream in such a hot weather.
Coconut Ice Cream. Although it’s only with peanuts, it’s more than enough for me. I don’t really like to have bread inside. Yum! Try to look for the stall, I don’t think you will miss it.
The Valentine’s Menu will come with starter, soup, 2 main course, dessert and coffee/tea. Each person will get one set of Starter, Soup, 1st Main Course, Dessert and Coffee/Tea. For 2nd Main Course, you can choose 2 out of the 3 choices. Scroll down for more details.
As usual, the bun and butter will kick start the meal. I always like the bun. It’s so nice to eat with the Anchor butter.
STARTER
ROULEAU DE PRINTERMPS.
Cod Fish Paper Roll & Mango Spring Roll. It is quite unique to see 2 different types of roll as starter. I prefer the Cod Fish Paper Roll as it is a more healthy option if compare to the fried Mango Spring Roll. But there is no Mango inside the paper roll, too bad! This is the only difference between these 2 rolls.
SOUP
LOBSTER BISQUE
Lobster Essence & Slipper Lobster Meat. The lobster taste is strong. The soup is good with the additional of Slipper Lobster Meat in it. Maybe it will be nice if I can dip the bun with this soup. It should be a nice one.
1ST MAIN COURSE
CHICKEN ROULADE
Poivrade Sauce & Potato Confit. I like the pistachio nuts in the stuffed chicken. The combination is really a good idea. The white round thing is not a scallop! At first we thought it was. It is a radish instead.
2ND MAIN COURSE
STEAMED CHITEAU COD
Seafood Veloute & Chive Pomme Puree. For those who prefer fish to meat, this will be the choice for you (as the other 2 choices will be beef and lamb). As you can see, the Cod fish is accompany with the fish roes. The Cod fish is fresh and I like the smooth texture. The fish roes are an add on, it will burst in your mouth when you eat it.
PANSEARED GRAIN FED TENDERLOIN
Australia Potato Crisps & Aujus. It’s prepared and served in medium rare. I seldom eat medium rare for beef but this Panseared Grain Fed Tenderloin is so tender. It’s served with the Australian Potato Crisp.
LAMB STEW
Balsamic Portwine & Potato Cornfit. If you are not sure which to choose, beef or lamb, I will recommend you to choose the lamb. The lamb stew is juicy and tender, together with the gravy, will make you to crave for more.
DESSERT
ALWAYS SWEET
Chocolate Strawberry Mousse & Sponge. The dessert comes with a scoop of ice cream and berries. Love the combination.
Coffee I will always ask for Coffee after the meal.
If you make the reservation with full payment for the Valentine’s Dinner on 14 February, you will get a bottle of Red or White House Wine for FREE!
The Valentine’s Menu will start from 12 February to 14 February. The Couple Package is priced at RM338++. For Valentine’s Day, it is not necessary for couples, you can also go with your family members or your BFF. For this, the additional odd one will be charged at RM170++.
There will be 2 sessions for the Valentine’s Dinner on 14 February, 5.30pm-8pm and 8.30pm-10pm. There will be no Hi-Tea available on that day.
Overall, the valentine’s package is really worth the price with all the good dishes served and a free bottle of red/white house wine (with full payment upfront). If you still not plan out your Valentine’s dinner, this will be a good option as you can go up to Penang Hill to see the night view before or after your dinner (depending on which session you are going). It will be a very romantic and memorable experience to you to have your Valentine’s dinner at the top of the hill.

A thoughtful piece that did not strain to be thoughtful, and a look at boldtrendmarket continued that effortless quality, when thinking shows up in writing without the writer drawing attention to it you know you are reading something genuinely considered rather than something performing the appearance of consideration which is also common online.
If I were grading sites on this topic this one would receive high marks, and a stop at echogrovecollective continued earning those high marks, the informal grading I do mentally for content sources is something I take seriously even though it is informal and this site has been receiving consistent high marks across multiple sessions today.
Thanks for not padding this with the usual filler intros and outros that every other blog seems to require, and a quick visit to silkduneemporium continued that lean approach across more posts, content stripped of waste is content that respects you and I will always come back to that kind of approach.
Honestly this hits the sweet spot between detail and brevity, no rambling and no shortcuts, and a quick visit to windcrestcollective kept that going across the related pages, the kind of place that respects your attention without trying to grab it through cheap tactics or attention seeking design choices that get tired fast.
Now appreciating that the post left me with enough to say in a follow up conversation, and a look at epictrendcorner added more material for those follow ups, content that prepares me for related conversations rather than just informing me alone is content with social utility and this site provides that social armament reliably for me.
Liked how the post handled an objection I was forming as I read, and a stop at besttrendstation similarly anticipated where my thinking was going next, the rare writer who can predict reader concerns and address them in advance is doing something most online content fails to do despite that being basic editorial work.
A piece that read as if the writer was thinking carefully rather than just typing fluently, and a look at stylishcartarena continued that considered quality, the difference between fluent typing and careful thinking shows up in writing and this site reads as the product of thought rather than just the product of language fluency apparently.
Reading this confirmed that my time researching the topic in other places had not been wasted, and a stop at frostdunemarket extended the confirmation, when independent sources agree that is a useful signal and this site is one of the more reliable sources I have found for cross checking what I read elsewhere on similar subjects.
Came back to this twice now in the same week which is unusual for me, and a look at frostedenclavegoods suggested I will keep coming back, the kind of post that earns repeated visits rather than one and done reading is the gold standard for content quality and this site clearly hit that standard.
Considered as a whole this site has developed a coherent point of view that comes through in individual pieces, and a look at mysticthreadstore continued displaying that coherence, sites with a unified perspective rather than a grab bag of takes are sites with editorial maturity and this one has clearly developed that maturity through years of work.
Now appreciating that the post did not try to imitate any other style I might recognise, and a stop at quickshoppingcorner continued that distinct voice, content with its own register rather than borrowed from elsewhere is content with real authorial presence and this site has clearly developed that presence through what feels like patient editorial work.
A clean read with no irritations, and a look at brightcartfusion continued that frictionless quality, the absence of small irritations is something I notice only when present elsewhere and this site is one of the rare places where everything just works and lets me focus on the substance rather than fighting the format.
Solid quality, the kind of work that holds up to a careful read rather than a quick skim, and a quick look at urbancrestemporium kept that standard going strong, content that rewards attention rather than punishing it is something I appreciate more and more these days online across nearly every topic I follow.
However many similar pages I have read this one taught me something new, and a stop at goldenshorestore added more new material, content that contributes genuinely fresh information rather than recycling what is already widely available is content with real informational value and this site is providing that informational freshness at a notable rate.
A piece that earned its conclusions through the body rather than asserting them at the end, and a look at goldenharvestlane maintained the same earned quality, conclusions that follow from what came before are more persuasive than declarations and this site has clearly internalised that principle in how it constructs arguments throughout pieces.
Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at neonbuycenter maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.
Reading this in a relaxed evening setting was a small pleasure, and a stop at urbanharborcollective extended the pleasant evening reading, content that fits the tone of relaxed time without becoming forgettable is what I look for in evening reading and this site has the right tone for that particular slot in my daily reading routine.
Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to moderntrendcenter confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.
