The newly renovated Sigi's is back to serve us all, with a wide variety of fine cuisine and beverage.

Exuding a combination of rustic and nautical charm, Sigi's Bar and Grill On The Beach at Golden Sands Resort, Penang is set for a relaunch on 10 March 2010 after an extreme makeover.


Replacing the former Sigi's by the Sea dining restaurant, Sigi's Bar & Grill includes a spacious, air-conditioned dining hall and a signature upper deck dining area with an amazing surrounding view of the beachfront and sea.


The priority of Sigi is to serve the freshest food in their remodeled menu that includes contemporary Western cuisines, local delights along with grilled specialties.

Appointing Executive Sous Chef, John Brock to head this new beach front restaurant, we were honored to savor their newly culinary creations.

The following are the culinary creations which we have tasted.


Under the list of ‘Green Things’ by Sigi’s, there are extensive range of up to 10 salads which suit the vegetables-lovers’ taste bud. We had Crab Salad which includes a mixture of swimmer crab with salmon, cornichons, capers and shaved pumpernickel.


Out of the list in ‘Light Things’ by Sigi’s, we ordered Chef Brock's recommendation, Salt and Pepper Calamari. The strips of calamari was well deep-fried and was nicely presented with the red chili, coriander, onion jam and nahm jim.


This mouthwatering appetizer is nice when it was served hot. It consists of tiger prawns wrapped in kataifi pastry with aioli and gremolata.


We love the juicy scallops for its freshness and specialty. This appetizing dish was nicely balanced with the green olive tapenade, chive crème and potato galette.


If your are looking for a light meal, try Braised Oxtail Fettuccine from ‘Pastas’ by Sigi’s with a generous helping of parmesan, broccoli and basil.


From the series of ‘Signature Dishes’ by Sigi’s, we had the Pan-fried Cod which was also highly recommended by the Chef Brock. This dish was presented on the crushed potatoes spread together with pistachio aioli, fennel and caper salad.


The Stinco d’Agnello ala Peppino’s was made up of braised lamb shank with port wine and minced vegetables served with capellini pasta and shaved parmesan. This dish is really value for money as it was served in large portion.


From the ‘Sweet Things’ by Sigi’s, we enjoyed The Bombe mango sorbet served along with white chocolate parfait, Italian meringue and pine nuts. We enjoyed this dessert very much.


Each of us was delighted to taste out the Shortbread which was nicely stack with citrus cream and poached berries.

Besides to the food, the restaurant’s bar offers a wide selection of alcoholic to non-alcoholic beverages. The emphasis is on New World wines.

For those elderly or health conscious people, the restaurant actually provides the selection of healthy fruit juices healthy fresh juices and smoothies.



At the outdoor section of Sigi's, there is a BBQ pit where you can enjoy the preparation of the food by the chef or even take over the grilling themselves.

Besides, this casual dining restaurant provides the live band performance 6 nights a week with Jazz session on Sundays.


Last but not least, special thanks were dedicated to Golden Sands Resort for hosting the pleasant dinner.
