Kwong Sang House 廣生洋服 and Behind 50 @ Penang

After our lok lok dinner at Pulau Tikus, our tummy couldn't handle anymore food. Stephy suggested to check out Kwong Sang House :)

Downstairs was packed so we headed upstairs

Cute decorations on the outside wall and also their dinner set!

Their interior upstairs is really nice :D

Bookshelves filled with books for you to read

Vintage decorations and old school items on display.

That night, we only ordered drinks are we were too full. Saw people having pasta and pizza which looked good and made a mental note to come by here next time for their food. The lady boss took our order. The service was great and friendly :) It left a great impression on us because of the friendly service.

However on our third day in Penang, most of the cafes were closed. We ended up in Kwong Sang House for lunch. However, the service had almost an 180 degrees turn from our first visit. There were two teenagers attending to customers that afternoon. Service was slow. Took a long time for the menu to reach us. Waited almost 5-10 minutes to call them every single time. I would understand if they stated that 'sorry we are busy, could you please hold for a moment', but there was no such courtesy. They practically just ignored us most of the time. The guy was mostly blur. The girl was quite rude. We actually ordered white wine but in the end red wine came -.- We said that we ordered white wine and we gave up at the lack of answer given by the waitress.

Nonetheless, here's pictures of our set lunch!

Red Wine

This place has good food unfortunately the mood can be spoiled by the service. When the bosses are here, service is fantastic. However, left unsupervised by inexperience waiters, it can just spoil your whole dining experience.

It went along something like this....

She kindly asked the pair of customers who are willing to change tables with us and secured us with more chairs as customers from the other table left. She was friendly, had a smile on her face and was patient while taking our orders. Our mood got better after that.

Overall, the food, environment and atmosphere in Kwong Sang House and Behind 50 is good. Most blogs I came by have great reviews about the food too. But for me, the service definitely needs to be improved. I even saw some people leaving tips on Foursquare saying that they experienced rude service as well. I would definitely visit this places again for their food and when the bosses are there!
