SUSU Vegan Mylk Bar Penang — Restaurant in George Town

Oh my, oh MY!! SUSU exemplifies why I adore Penang and why Penang is my foodie paradise! Their beet burger is a true masterpiece…. flavours and textures balanced to absolute perfection…. the BEST veg burger I’ve discovered in all my global wanderings (and better than my own homemade version!). On presentation of this black bun stacked with inches of filling: smashed avocado, pickled red cabbage, beet/mushroom patty topped with cashew cream cheese and sprinkled with salty/peppery seasoning, I was momentarily perplexed about how I was going to actually eat it; but after the first chomp I was all in…. it certainly takes two hands to tackle, but all held together surprisingly well. Every morsel was savoured. It takes confidence to offer such a limited menu, but I’d want for nothing more from SUSU… SUSU is Beet Burger! Actually, SUSU is more than beet burger….it’s intriguing interactive decor is charming and quirky. There are vintage knick knacks to play with, 70’s magazines to wonder at…. and endless stacks of vinyls and cassettes to select your “tunes” from. I chose a nostalgic album, an old fav of my Mum’s, and when seated in furnishings of my childhood, the atmosphere comfortably connected me to long gone times. Ken, our cheerful host gave time to explain the food, the artefacts, the art and history… it was overall a fabulous experience that we will revisit time and time again…...

The vegan burgers are to die for. One of the best I've ever had. Drinks are surprised and mine was really tasty. Atmosphere is relaxing and we loved old music playing in the background.

Added later : I changed the rating from 5 stars to 3 because on our third visit, both drinks we were served were awful and completely undrinkable. Mine was just cold oat milk with a flower that smelled like fish in it. My husband ordered what was supposed to be oolong tea, but it had some grass on top and smelled like seaweed. When the manager asked if we liked our drinks, we told him we didn’t, but he did nothing to improve the situation. He didn’t offer us a replacement, nor did he offer to remove the drinks from our bill. It felt strange—why ask for feedback if you don’t plan to do anything about it? As loyal customers who love the burgers, we’re disappointed and, unfortunately, won’t...

I stumbled upon this place randomly. At first, we were unsure about the nature of this establishment, as it stood out significantly from other cafes. While walking by, curiosity struck both my friend and me.

Upon entering the cafe to peruse the menu, we were surprised to learn from the owner that each drink is tailored to our emotions which we have described. Intrigued by this concept, we decided to give the place a try. The experience was splendid, I never imagined finding such a relaxed cafe. I rarely get to read outdoors due to noise and crowd, but this place offered a comfortable environment.

The owner's crafted beverages were truly special, boasting unique flavors. Overall, this cafe provides a laid-back setting to hang out with friends, though keep note that seating...
