There’s a new gathering place in town for Penangites, the Gasoline Penang branch! Long before we visited the latest outlet operating in Penang island, we have heard lots of stories about this special comic-themed cafe, which were visited by teenagers around Kuala Lumpur. We were told that, it’s fun to be there hangging out with friends, sharing the latest news and filling the stomach too. Well since there’s an official website with all the stories behind the company, you can check them out by clicking this.
Having engaged by the management for capture the Penang branch’s photographically. We were thrilled and were anticipating the shooting date since then. Gasoline choosed to has its outlet in Times Square, Penang. Chances are, you may have noticed their catchy signboard when you travel along Dato Keramat Road having no idea what’s the shop about.
While the brand name sounds more like “Gas Online” to us, it’s certainly not another cyber-cafe like the one in your neighborhood. There was a lot of rain forest themed “animals” hangged around the lower floor of the cafe alongside with a few in-cave dining area.
Going up to second level revealed additional two dining areas, namely the bright & dark room. So what is the bright and dark room anyway?
The bright room has a few Japanese-tatami-mat seatings seperated with customized curtain, illuminated by warm tungsten bulb! So, what’s next?
The dark room is having the same seats arrangement but is mainly illuminated by UV bulbs that introduced the blue tint in the photo and a few tiny tungsten bulb to make sure you are still able to move around. White colored cloth work best in this room, as they will glow nicely under UV lights!
There are plenty of oriental & western food options at affordable rates and served in big portion!
If you are going for a sip, there are plenty of funky-named beverages available too!
Lastly, we have selected a few interesting shots to share here, click to view.
