[ Penang ] Golden Shower by ChinChin | The Pink Bar

There are plenty of speakeasy or hidden bars mushrooming in this lovely island.

I have no intention to visit any of it until one of them caught my sight.

It offers a more welcoming vibe compare to others with its pink and gold interior.

When I mentioned pink here, I think most of you already know which bar I’m talking about,it is Golden Shower by ChinChin.

BF don’t really like to go fine dining place that cost a bomb with small plates,
so I went there with my friends instead, who also wanted to have Insta-worthy picture here.

It’s just located opposite of Public Bank along the Bishop Street,

but you will not know this is it when you are there, as you can’t even find sign board around the bar.

You will first welcomed by the luxe bathroom decorated entrance,

and it becomes the first photo spot at the bar, people like to take photos with the bathtub especially.

We were there quite early, we thought to get nice photos before the crowd, or without other diners as our background.

There is good and bad to go there early, good is we can take our own swee time to take photo,

bad is the sunlight make our photo taken in the entrance doesn't seems right, so we took it again after sunset.

After the entrance, before the bar, there is another area for you to take photo and you finally got to see their 'signboard'.

With the dim light, photos taken here look quite cool. 

I don't really like pink, but I can accept this kind of pastel pink, of course the gold does make it looks perfect and grand here.

As you can see, we are the first group of diners here, the first thing we did was to take photos instead of order.

Even the bartender also asked us to take nice photos of the bar and share it through social media.

You can choose to sit at bartender table or the couch area. 

At first, we find it quite difficult to eat at couch area, so we opt for the former one; but I think we made the wrong decision,

sitting at the couch will make us more comfortable, and bartenders will not focus on us that often.

But sitting at bartender table, we can see what they are preparing here and there; our drink and food are come from here.

Apple XX Cocktail | RM39 . Prosecco | RM22

I forgot what my friends ordered, but it was some kind of cocktail with the name started with 'Apple', it looks nicer compare to my Procescco; they can't finished the cocktail so it was my pleasure to help them on it.

It is like liquor with citrus kind of taste; Prosecco (white wine) is good as well but the serving size is quite small.

Crostini with Mushroom & Parmesan dip and Bacon & Onion dip | RM32 each

We visited the bar during Shower Time (5.30pm to 8pm), the menu is pretty limited as they only serve snacks.

We can't wait for the dinner as we had other plan that night, so we ordered crostini instead.

There are multiple choices of dips to choose from the menu, each dip comes with 12 pieces of crostini (I think so).

The crostini is crispy like biscuit, I prefer Mushroom & Parmesan which come with a thicker texture that goes well with crostini.

So happy that I got plenty of nice photos here, till then. xoxo
