Clove Hall
Penang, Malaysia
Eating
Breakfast is taken in the hall on the airy ground floor or
the terrace of the Main House, adjacent to the pool area. A plate
of fruit is followed by a choice of eggs, bacon and toast, French
toast or muesli, with coffee or tea - all served on delicate blue
and white china. A delicious Asian breakfast can be ordered in
advance; any request can be catered for.
There’s also afternoon tea, should you want it, but
that’s it - although you can expressly arrange a dinner party
with fine cuisine served on period china at the long antique dining
table, or arrange for a takeaway to be delivered to eat in one
night (for an additional charge).
Instead, and wisely, the owners have drawn their environment into
the operation by providing a map of surrounding restaurants,
none more than 10 minutes’ walk away, and can make helpful
recommendations. While the neighbourhood lies well beyond the
Heritage Site and the buffer zone, it still has plenty of lanes of
pre-war shophouses, with interesting places to eat in almost every
other one, many of them catering to the local middle class and
therefore the best in town.
