Flower Mulan Nyonya Cafe - Michelin Star 2023


Flower Mulan Nyonya Cafe is located at 268, Jalan Burmah, Pulau Tikus, Penang. At the entrance with people at every corner.  A Michelin Star cafe with pretty good food.


The Chinese decor is superfluous.  Red lanterns all over. 





Each dinner table has its own theme.  


Countless art pieces. 


Mr Mark and John are the flower designers.  


Traditional Chinese art.  Not sure where Mulan is.


The best is the food. 


And the dishes must go with lots of rice.  





The Michelin Award prominently displayed on the wall.
Congratulations to the owner.

Purple Cane Tea House


The Purple Cane Tea House is a branch from Kuala Lumpur.  Has been in Ipoh for the last 14 years and is located at the Perak Chinese Amateur Dramatic Association building.  Jalan Dato Tahwil Azar (Osborne Street) has a canopy cover now.  The "pasar malam" tents are up and business is beginning soon.  


Lots of tea products for sale.  Even potted tea sets.  A typical Chinese restaurant set up but no Chinese music in the air though!


Sit on a chair or on a wooden floor depending on your agility. 


Hard to go by without a selfie nowadays.  Hehe. 


Chicken noodle with a taste of tea.


Tea jelly.


Bak Kut Teh with Tea too!

Pretty good experience for the evening.

Tropicana at Jalan Lee Kwee Foh


This former single storey building has now become two after the extensive renovation.  I thought it was going to be an eatery but it turned out to be a koi retail shop!  Fishes not for eating. 


Well designed and renovated with high insulated metal roof decks. 


The high side cladding allows light into the fish ponds and advert boards to be displayed. 


Good ventilation and lighting.  This place is very clean without any water collection on the floor.  There is even a balcony on the first floor.  The owner will probably admire the koi fish from high above, and from this vantage view is exactly how koi fish should be appreciated. 


The retail store has water pumps and lots of fish food for sale.


Koi fish everywhere.  Small, medium, large and very large!


There are seats for koi enthusiasts to sit whole day just to admire the fish swimming


The very large koi pond behind.  Will dream of this being my lap pool at home!


Just keep on dreaming.  Splash, splash ........
