Penang Times Square - Haven Delights

I had never step into Penang Times Square before this. Invited by my colleagues, I decided to go for this together with a few of them through the Groupon's deal. From most of the review I could get online, it seems like it is another nice place to go for buffet style other than Tao. It is never harm to try something new and we are in the mood. So, go for it!

Fortunately my colleague is with me in the car, or else I'll be having trouble to find the parking area. :P lol.....not really go to Jalan Datuk Keramat's area often. :)

Well, with the guidance, it is easy to find the restaurant. 

The restaurant is located at Level 1, besides the upcoming Tao restaurant. We noticed Tao is under renovation when we are on the way to the restaurant, which is exactly just beside it.

The restaurant is opened daily from 10.30am until 11.00pm. Which means they served lunch and dinner.

There are some nice decoration near the entrance. Most of it are Chinese related statue.

There are also some figurines around the corner...

The seat arrangement are neat and comfy, not bad.

As usual, I'll look at the ceiling after sitting down at the table. The deco lighting is really interesting. The place is pretty well lit, but I'll still like it to be a little bit brighter.

Restaurant view from the other side. There are few kinds of seating arrangement which suit from 2 persons to 8 persons. So, no worries about how many companions you bring to the restaurant. :)

If you called earlier to reserve the seat, this is basically what they'll place on your table. :P

The menu cover is made of PU, has a leather like feel. The restaurant logo is printed in gold. Looks pretty classy.

Inside the menu, there are plenty of foods to order. But becareful with your choice, some are not worth to try out.

The order sheets on the table. Fill it up and hand it to the waitress for the order.

This is what you get in returns. An order sheet which can be as long as it gets. :P

After hand in the food order, the next thing to do is definitely go for the starter and drinks. The drinks counter is at the most inside of the restaurant.

There are 3 types of drink served: green tea, mango and orange. I just test out the mango and orange. The color of the green tea is a bit too much for me. The drink is typical, nothing special about it.

The salmon salad, which is the appertizer. It is self-service, so you might want to grab it fast or needs to wait for the next refill. We are there pretty early, not all the self-service food are ready yet. At first we thought there are really too small portion prepared. Later on there are more of it appear on the table. :)

The fruit served is watermelon, forgot if there are other types of food. Usually I go for watermelon anyway. :P

Nice decoration at the bar area......

The sashimi, not bad...I prefer Tao's sashimi. :P

The wasabi comes with the sashimi, it doesn't has the strong taste of wasabi.

Forgot what is this already. :P

Shishamu Karaage, not good. Not recommend to order.

Dragon fruit pork, the looks is really different from what is shown in the menu. The taste also ok only.

Tempura, not to say bad, just ok.

One of the dishes which taste ok - Edamame.

The octopus, I had never like this. So didn't try it.

Abalone, taste good.

The green mussel grilled with cheese! My favorite! This is good. :)

Hmm.....what is this dish already? Lol, really too many types of food. Can't really remember all. Next time need to note down properly. :P

Another dish which I can't remember the name, but it doesn't taste good.

Grilled scallop with cheese. Best! We ordered this dishes more than 3 times. :)

Chawan mushi, avoid it at all times. We regretted to order this......

Tried another type, still the same......not good...

Grilled lamb.......can't believe it can be like that. There is really a need to improve on the food quality.

Overall, for RM28.00 Groupon deal, I'll say it worth a try, but don't expect much on the service and the food quality.

I think I won't step into this restaurant again unless I got the news that the food quality had improve. Well, it has been sometime since I visit this restaurant, it might be better now. :)
