咖啡馆在槟城不再是什么新鲜事，每一家持有各自的经营理念，声称独一无二的风格，但这毕竟是主观的。网路常流传类似「槟岛十大特色咖啡馆」的标题和内容，但是这里的「多」意味泛滥，咖啡和料理品质的减低，所谓的独特装潢，餐饮特点，到头来也造成人们的审美疲劳。开张或倒闭，或持久经营，并不是靠几个供人贪新鲜拍照打卡的角落，想获得人心，还是得靠餐饮的质量和氛围的气息，真正让人留下深刻印象深刻，愿意再度光顾的，还属于少数。
后来，想找个满意的地方聚会，还是得花点心思。周日这一天，来到PLATES，上午时段提供西式餐点，到了黄昏便换成了INCH，提供酒精饮品和泰式小食。这一间老屋分隔成三个不同的风格，前半部空间的铁线艺术的现代装置挺然人耳目一新，中半部是吧台，后半部则是在漆脱落的墙上刷上粉色系，玩味休闲（我们第一眼选择了这里的座位，可惜上午时段不开放）。PLATES供应的食物饮料价格合理，食材处理也不错。值得一提的是，当时厨房忘记了我们的一份餐点，提醒后，服务生送来一小桶薯条让我们在等候时段享用，让人觉得用心。
If you stay at Penang, you surely know that new café opened is nothing new or as excited. Every café have to own so called unique style and run their business in their own way. You had seen lots of post at social media such as Facebook talk about 10 café that you need to visit in Penang. Does it mean Penang was overload with café? Lack in creativity or quality? Lots of café had been open up but in the other side lots of café was closed. To be honest, how many café you will pay another visit after that? Only café with good dishes, quality coffee, great atmosphere can survive in this competition.
Last Sunday, we had decided to pay a visit to PLATES which serves western cuisine that you can have a great brunch there. At night, it will change to INCH where they serve Thai snacks and alcohol. The environment was divided into 3 different designs. The entrance part was covered with steel pipes which make it feel modern and edgy. The center part was a bar that has a classic yet sophisticated feel on it. The back part was painted with colorful pastel color which adds some fun to it. PLATES overall served very delicious food with reasonable price. The entire ingredient was well prepared. Still remember their waiter forget to drop an order to the food that we had ordered. They are sweet enough that served us some fries while we waiting for our food to be served. This makes us feel that they really respect their customer and run the business with their heart.
