I’ve been a fan of Penny University since their East Coast Road days when they were near to Al Forno, so when I saw with my own eyes they had opened a new outlet at Wisma Geylang Serai, I knew I had to check it out. On this visit, I only had time for a long black coffee, but I was impressed by the spacious setting and the expanded menu. With a Google rating of 3.6 stars, I’m giving it a solid 4 stars based on the location and the intriguing new food offerings. I’ll be returning soon for a proper food review.
Penny University gets 4 Stars from me!
