Taking Penang dining to a chic new level, <a href="https://www.blacklinen.com.my/?destinasian">Blacklinen</a> offers a new dining experience to locals and visitors alike. Romantically lit and cozily inviting, the restaurant promises a feast from the flame. Forget farm to table, this is farm to fire with chefs taming the flames to create an interesting menu that highlights the ingredients. Open Tuesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner, diners can choose to sit at the counter and watch the flames, or chill at well-spaced tables in the main dining area. A well executed nicoise salad with sea fresh tuna was the ideal pre-cursor to the main course. Meat lovers will be spoiled for choice, whether fans of steak, lamb or duck. The beef offering is memorable in itself coming from different cattle breeds, and a choice of wet or dry aged. Staff bring an enormous board with the different cuts of meat for diners to peruse, from chianina (an Italian breed that’s bred specially for its beef) to Wagyu from closer to home. Roasted corn ribs and crispy fries hit the spot as accompaniments;  but proved too filling to make space for dessert. It was a decision we regretted later, talking about the basque cheesecake or tiramisu we could have had. We will know better next time! —Alison Marshall
