Our private dining room seats up to 12 guests around a traditional tong tok table — a communal setting designed for unhurried, family-style gatherings. Perfect for intimate anniversaries, corporate luncheons, milestone celebrations, and media dinners.
Private bookings are handled personally by the team. A bespoke menu can be arranged with advance notice. All enquiries are handled with complete discretion and care.
We recommend booking at least 3–7 days in advance. For weekend dinners and public holidays, popular dates can book out 2–4 weeks ahead. If you're visiting Penang specifically to dine with us, please book as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
The RM 200 deposit is fully refundable if you cancel with at least 48 hours notice. Cancellations with less than 48 hours notice will forfeit the deposit. We understand that plans change — please let us know as soon as possible if you need to reschedule.
