It's easy to locate this place, just drive along the main road of Jalan Pintu Sepuluh and you will find this place right next to Starcity Hotel. Food-wise, they offer a variety of Western foods with desserts and gelato. Probably due to the first few days' jitters, the service quality is below par and has room for improvements.

Sulb Cafe @ Simpang Kuala, Alor Setar, Kedah

Sulb opened its doors on the easy-to-remember date of 3 March 2022, has quickly risen through the ranks, and appeared as one of the most popular cafes in Alor Setar. The cafe adopts minimalist interior decor in shades of grey and white, with pebble stone flooring, polished cement seats, and tall trees to make the space even more charming and comfy. It makes me feel that I've returned to one of the popular cafes in Penang - Norm Micro. The foods offered here are quite attractive as those foods are rare to be seen in Alor Setar. Such as Egg Benedict, Croque Madame, Turkish Egg, Beef Quesadillas, Wiener Schnitzel, Chicken Cacciatore, and so on. Prices may be on the high side and wait times will be longer but given the cozy atmosphere and attractive menu, the place is worth checking out.

Located at opposite night market Jalan Putra, the same row with the well-known stir-fried fish restaurant - Chin Venlin, Chan Kee is the Hong Kong-style roasted meat restaurant that opened in Alor Setar a year ago. The main selling point of Chan Kee is it provides the choices of noodles or rice for the diners because it's the only restaurant that serves noodles with roasted meat in Alor Setar. During my first visit, I thought that the foods here do not suit my liking because those foods are just normal and taste lighter... do not worth a shoutout. Nevertheless, during my visit recently, I found the foods here have much improved.

Summer Dessert Bakery Cafe @ Alor Setar, Kedah [GPS]

Summer Dessert Bakery which is a Penang based bakery had finally opened its first in Alor Setar today (01 October 2019), which named Summer Dessert Bakery Cafe. What I like about this Summer Dessert Bakery Cafe is that it’s the one-stop cafe where you could get almost anything from freshly baked bread to cake, sandwich, pastry, dessert, pie, coffee, breakfast, lunch, and dinner under one roof. It's also one of my favourite bakeries in Penang because of its wide variety of choices and its strategic location.

位于槟城的Summer Dessert Bakery面包店终于在今天（2019年10月1日）在亚罗士打开设了第一家店，名为Summer Dessert Bakery Cafe。 我喜欢Summer Dessert Bakery Cafe，因为它是一家一站式的咖啡馆，一应俱全。从新鲜出炉的面包到蛋糕，三明治，糕点，甜点，派，咖啡，早餐，午餐和晚餐等。它也是我在槟城最爱的面包店之一，因为它的选择范围很广，地理位置优越。

[Revisit] Oiso Korean Traditional Cuisine & Cafe @ Aman Central, Alor Setar [GPS]

Revisit Oiso Korean Traditional Cuisine & Cafe at Aman Central, Alor Setar after half year since my first visit. Oiso Korean Traditional Cuisine & Cafe can be considered as a good spot to fix your craving for Korean Foods in Alor Setar because there are only a few Korean Cuisines in the town. Instead of specialising in a certain Korean local dishes, Oiso provides a wide range of home-cooked Korean dishes in the restaurant. Hence, all the meals are provided in a set. Since I've been tried Korea Black Bean Noodles (짜장면) and Tteokbokki (떡볶이) during my first visit, so I decided to try something else.

自从半年前Oiso刚开张的时候第一次试过以后，这是我第二次访问Oiso。Oiso Korean Traditional Cuisine & Cafe在亚罗士打可以被认为是一间能够解决你对韩国美食渴望的地方，因为在亚罗士打的韩国餐馆少之又少。Oiso提供各种家常韩国料理，而不是专门供应某韩国当地菜肴。 因此，所有的餐点都是属于套餐。 在我第一次访问Oiso是，我已试过韩国炸酱面（짜장면）和辣炒年糕（떡볶이），所以我决定尝试别的菜肴。
