During
a
rainy
day
when
my
wife
and
I
found
ourselves
at
a
loose
end,
we
decided
to
seek
refuge
at
Starbucks
Penang
Sentral.
Having
spotted
this
establishment
during
our
recent
arrival
in
Butterworth
via
ferry,
we
thought
it
a
fitting
place
to
while
away
the
time.
Positioned
on
the
3rd
floor
of
Penang
Sentral,
the
coffee
shop
shares
the
same
level
as
the
lobby,
making
it
the
bustling
hub
of
the
building.
What
truly
stands
out
is
its
panoramic
view,
encompassing
the
Butterworth
jetty,
Penang
Port,
and
even
the
distant
Penang
Island.
This
scenic
backdrop
adds
a
unique
charm
to
the
café.
Celebrating
her
birthday,
my
wife
indulged
in
a
slice
of
hazelnut
chocolate
cake,
while
I
stuck
to
my
usual
choice
of
iced
americano.
The
cake
garnered
an
okay
verdict,
though
curiously,
my
iced
americano
seemed
to
carry
a
slightly
bitter
undertone,
an
anomaly
that
might
be
attributed
to
my
own
taste
buds.
The
café's
main
selling
point,
undoubtedly,
is
the
stunning
view
it
provides
of
the
straits.
On
the
customer
service
front,
staff
member
Qiu
added
a
personal
touch
with
his
friendly
and
welcoming
demeanor.
While
the
café's
coffee
and
cakes
might
not
have
been
exceptional
on
this
particular
visit,
the
captivating
scenery,
along
with
the
amiable
service,
certainly
made
our
experience
at
Starbucks
Penang
Sentral
a
pleasant
one.
