Invited Review at Tree Monkey

It was a Sunday and i get to dine with the monkeys at Tree Monkey. :) Before i proceed explaining about this place, i would like to thank Mr. Warren for the food review invitation. The place is located right next to the Penang Spice Garden, which is a little pass Hard Rock Hotel, Batu Feringghi. Anyway, there was no monkeys during the entire dining session, instead i spotted a few squirrels. :)

Tree Monkey adapts a serene and relax concept with all its tables and chairs made of wood imported from Indonesia.
Sitting on the deck allows you an overview of sea. They hire all Thai chefs and thus they serve Thai cuisine. As the bloggers were invited for a food review, we were hence served some of their popular dishes.
Thai tapas which comes with a choice of 8 pieces (RM30), 12 pieces (RM45) and 16 pieces (RM60)
Asian tapas which comes with a choice of 8 pieces (RM60) and 12 pieces (RM90)
tomyam soup (comes with Asian tapas)-not spicy enough
tumeric rice(to be eaten with Asian tapas)-RM14.80
sunset paradise (only available between 6-7pm)-RM10
coconut ice cream

Workers there are really friendly, not sure if that was because they knew we are bloggers. Honestly, i would say that the food there is a little pricey. You rather convince yourself that you are paying for the ambiance instead. Also, the distance of the place would make you think twice. Besides that, you don't have to worry about parking as there are abundance along the road. They also provide free insect repellents just in case you notice the existence of the little creatures. :)
