on Citysearch Dec 05, 2006I've actually never been to this one, but I wanted to know if this is the same "chain" as the ones that I've been to in NYC and/or Washington, DC? I've frequented these spots when I lived out East, and they were very "chic"... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 27, 2006I've eaten in dozens of Malaysian restaurants and stalls in the U.S. and in Malaysia, and Penang BY FAR has the worst food of them all. Perhaps they've cut costs since the glowing reviews from 2003 and 2005. The beef... (more)
