AMex Mexican Cuisine @ One Precinct, Bayan Baru, Penang.

Mexican Cuisine has been pretty uncommon in Penang ever since then, Habanero was one of them which opened its door few months back. Penangites have more options now with the opening of AMex Mexican Cuisine housed within One Precinct, opposite to Lunarich. One can find a wide variety of Mexican food there at some very affordable prices. The only drawback might be, not too authentic. I could not even find a piece of Jalapeno chilies (one of the soul ingredients for Mexican food) in all the dishes served, I was told that they did include Jalapenos in their menu but due to customers' feed back, they had to reluctantly withdraw the chilies. Well, I guess the restaurateur should stick to the original menu instead of trying to localize all the dishes. I hope to see and try some of their "original" dishes during my next visit though. There are still some improvements needed on the serving speed (probably the restaurant was still new and slow due to lack of manpower) and ambiance of the restaurant. The place was dimly lit and some customers had to use the torch function of their phones to look at the menu. Nevertheless, this place offers some decent Mexican food, Burrito, Arco, Quesadilla, Taco, Fajita, Nachos, Churros, you name it, they have it; do try it out and let me know what do you think in the comment column!

Farmers Cottage (南洋轩) @ One Precinct, Bayan Baru, Penang.

***This place has since ceased its operations.***

Strategically located at a corner unit of One Precinct (right beside I Mum Mum Pan Mee), one can easily spot the place from Suntech or Sunshine Square, Farmers Cottage serves many uncommon South East Asian-Fusion dishes such as Vietnamese Beef Pho and Vietnamese Baguette. In hopes of promoting Nanyang cuisine, Farmers Cottage provides its customers with wide selection of Nanyang dishes at very affordable prices. Despite of the interesting choices, I would say the overall quality of the food was slightly below par... I would not mind heading back but only if they could improve on the food quality....

Lunarich Pasta & Pizza @ One Precinct, Bayan Baru, Penang.

One Precinct is a newly set up commercial hub nearby Sunshine Square and D’ Piazza at Bayan Baru, Penang. Quite an amount of restaurants are mushrooming at this place, Lunarich, Gold Choice, Farmers Cottage, I Mum Mum just to name a few. I have certainly heard of Lunarich since its opening at Gurney Paragon Mall but I was being skeptical in trying this place out considering the prices are not too wallet-friendly, however, I was rather attracted by their Set Lunch promotions (only available on Monday to Friday, 12pm to 3pm) instead. From Rm 18.90+ onwards, diners will be served with Salad, Garlic Bread, Soup of the day, a drink (Tea/ Coffee/ Carbonated Drinks) and a main course. Service was attentive and the place has a very good ambiance. There’s also an al-fresco dining area if that’s what you preferred. You may find ample of parking spaces inside the building too (Rm 1 for first hour). In a nutshell, I would say that the lunch promotion worth every penny spent, do check it out if you are craving for a wallet-friendly Italian lunch.
