Cinnamon Asian Kitchen at PARKROYAL Penang Resort in Penang

"We enjoyed the breakfast each morning . They offer a huge variety across different cuisines. The coffee is quite good, having different tastes. Some items stay the same though a number of dishes are switched each day. The staff is very accommodating and friendly! Thank you - We haven't eaten anything besides breakfast at this location. For the breakfast I can definitely give an recommendation!"

"Grilled tamarind fish at Cinnamon Asian Kitchen is one of those dishes that immediately tells you the kitchen knows what it’s doing. The fish arrives with a caramelised edge and a smoky char that doesn’t overpower — the tamarind gives it a bright, slightly tangy lift that keeps the richness in check. It’s balanced in a way that feels thoughtful rather than loud: the acidity plays off the natural sweetness of the fish, and every bite lands with texture and flavour that carry through to the last forkful. The setting itself is understated, letting the food take centre stage, and the overall execution feels confident without unnecessary flourish. This isn’t “fusion for the sake of novelty” — it’s calibrated Southeast Asian fare done with care. A great choice if you want something that feels both familiar and elevated on the plate, and one of those dishes that makes you glad you ordered it."

"I had breakfast daily at Cinnamon Asian Kitchen at PARKROYAL Penang Resort, and it was a fantastic start to my day. The restaurant is clean and well-maintained, with both indoor and outdoor seating options. The servers are efficient, observant, and always helpful. The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of local and Western dishes, and I especially enjoyed their freshly made omelettes, yogurt, fresh fruit juices, and local kopi susu. The bread, sweet pastries, and pancakes with maple syrup were also a highlight. I usually visited between 6:30-7:30am to avoid crowds. Five stars for the excellent food and experience!"

"Had an awesome breakfast here! So spoilt for choice by the many Asian and Western dishes. Very happy with the healthy choices of fruits and vegetables juices, and the many ways to make eggs. The kitchen prepares different Chef’s Breakfast Choice for each day of the week. Service was great and very friendly, especially from Zafina, thanks!"

"I had the local Penang curry and it may have been the best curry I’ve ever had"

"While staying at Park Royal, we had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast and couple of dinners at Cinnamon Asian Kitchen. The food selection was amazing which was only exceeded by the great service of the wonderful team, especially Hidayah! Highly recommended."

"The buffet is mainly grilled seafoods and local cuisines. Also provides international foods like steaks and lamb. The desserts have ice cream and ice kacang. Kids are free which are quite generous, we had a wonderful dinner, thanks!"
