The reason why we think it is atmospheric is because you can get a view of the penguins as they swim past at the transparent glass pillars near by.
The restaurant has a cosy atmosphere, mimicking the underwater world of the penguins.

To dine at the Penguin Cove Restaurant, you will need to place your food order at the counter at the entrance of the restaurant.

One of the signature dishes that attracted our attention was the Penguin Bao. These adorable looking buns were made to look like penguins earnestly looking up at us.
We almost felt bad when we broke it apart to eat it.
The Penguin Cove Restaurant also has a small digital screen where kids and adults can learn facts about penguins. We wished that it was a more interactive game instead.
In addition to the Penguin Cove Restaurant on Level 1, you can also find a small Penguin Cove Cafe on Level 2.
