This was our last meal after being away from home for four weeks having travelled to Penang via langkawi and Borneo. It was the worst meal of our holiday. The first course was ceviche king prawn and chicken liver pâté. The prawns were nearly noticeable and the chicken liver had a curious smell. Mains was vanilla salmon and seabass -... More

I was invited by business friends for a Sunday lunch. The restaurant is very beautiful inside: nice tables and atmosphere. Air-conditioning was perfect, but we decided to eat outside and enjoy the seas breeze. Breeze was fresh and the sea view quite nice. I had a delicious sea bass with thym sauce and a mango/potatoes purea. Recommended desert, was average.... More

Dear Milord48. Thank you very much for your review. I understand what you mean about the condition of the dehors. Rest assured that since your visit we have made improvements and cleaned up. This was because at that time we were supposed to have moved out of the premises. However we are happy to note that we have been granted... More

A recent Saturday night visit to Mansion 32 was only spoiled by their lack of understanding of the need for vegetarian food. When eating cheap or local, you might expect to have little meat free choice. When at a "fine dining" establishment, to be offered only Aglio Olio is disappointing. The response from the waiter, when asked for an alternative,... More

Locals and foreigners...Do we look different? I believe we do. And it is clear that the staff there see that too. Why can't people see beyond the colour and the 'pocket'? I do hope an experience there is different for you as it was definitely different for me as I am different. Food is generally good but the desserts are... More

This was the tastiest meal we had on our month long honeymoon in Malaysia. We had Laksa, Mee Goreng and all of which were stunning. The waiter asked us how hot we liked our food and when we said hot a worried look crossed his face, we back tracked and said hot for the UK so maybe just make it... More

We walked around the top few recommendations and weren't that impressed, until we spotted this place. Our meals were great, full of flavour and brilliant value for money. There aren't too many options on the menu, but what there was was great. Very friendly, they could not have done more for us.

Our hotel conceirge recommended this restaurant and we made the effort to find it for lunch break. The restaurant sits right beside a quiet little beach with shady trees and wonderful breezes. Cool refreshing drinks and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Well worth a visit
