Too bad we were unable to attend the preview although we just live a stone’s throw away. Anyway, it was kind of FP to invite us.

Life for Beginners

Was this the garden-themed restaurant you mentioned during my earlier trips to Penang? Or a new place, judging that it hasn’t been named yet?

Either way, looks exciting!
