Chili Espresso

Pork- and alcohol-free local delights are the order of the day in this airy and colourful joint. Inspiration for the décor comes from Penang’s Heritage City, giving off a pre-war, shophouse alley vibe that reminds one of simpler times where children ate under a frangipani tree. Food-wise, diners can look forward to an assortment of traditional Malaysian dishes that are given a modern and creative twist. Signature dishes include the fried mee mamak and the percik ayam Siam. There’s also a respectable selection of Western dishes, with the char-grilled Aussie beef burger headlining the picks.
