A memorable time at 'The Top'

SOME 200 children from Pusat Jagaan Permata Kasih were thrilled to bits having been invited to attend a breaking of fast dinner at Penang Island's tallest building — the Top View Restaurant and Lounge.
The restaurant is located on Level 59 of the famed and historical Komtar building, now a modern day skyscraper with lots of tourist attractions under one roof.
Little ones were excited on the spectacular bird's eye view they had of Penang's heritage enclave, even the promenade on the mainland.
They were further awed on seeing the sumptuous buka puasa buffet spread prepared by award winning chefs of the restaurant, and were wonderstruck on their experiential tour of The Top.
Only World Group Holdings Bhd (OWG) founder and CEO Tan Sri Richard Koh said of the spectacle: "The treat was part of the group's corporate social responsibility efforts where the unfortunate are accorded special attention."
And so they were as The Top is a new "hotspot" in Penang attracting many tourists to its one-stop centre of entertainment.
From an educational boutique aquarium; to the Penang State Gallery featuring an exhibition on durians (the king of fruits) and another on Tongkat Ali (a root); a fabulous amusement park; a "Dino Gym"; and a variety of food outlets; including the state's tallest private social club, complete with a gymnasium and a spectacular view; not forgetting the observatory deck and "Rainbow Skywalk"; plus bistros and bars at the rooftop.
Indeed, visitors are spoilt for choice.
