Almost perfect... At our hotel we search for a restaurant where our family will have brunch before we fly back to Auckland. A restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary and my birthday. There are so many within 10 minutes walk and I chose to Little Penang on the terrace. There was another Asian cuisines nearby however, the reviews were not that great. Penang food has always been very dear to my heart as I have many wonderful memories of that beautiful Island. Plus, I have so many dear friends which I miss so much in Penang. People in Penang are different, most of them I met are down to earth, generous and friendly. Therefore, on this day, for this special occasion we chose Little Penang. I tried to call the place for reservations but I was told that they don't take reservations. When we were there, the place was crowded with so many people of different ethnicity and therefore I concluded that this place must have good food that draws the crowd. We nearly couldn't find a place for 6 of us and I was about to look for the lady that assured me that is no need to make any reservations. This place is more like an eateries, open kitchen concept, king clank of the wok, order at the counter and quick meal kind of restaurant. It is noisy but exciting and have to raise the voice a little to order food. Therefore, we were prepared not to expect much service and attention. Everything on the menu looks fantastic and many of my Penang favourite is on it. Sadly, some special food like the Hainanese Chicken Rice, Bah kut Teh, Assam Laksa, and Hokkien Mee only happened on certain weekdays. Anyway, there were more than enough favourites of mine to satisfy my gang of 6. This is what we order; 3 different kinds of Nasi Lemak, Char Kway Teow, Hokkien Char, Otak Otak, Lor Bah, Clay pot Rice, Char Siew Bun and Lemon Chicken Wings. The Nasi Lemak was great, Kapitan Chicken, Nyonya Chicken and Masak Merah Chicken. But my daughter's and mine opinion, the Masak Merah Chicken came in first. Chicken drum stick soak with spicy sweet chilli...sedap! The other both curries are just as good, though the chicken is a little tough but edible. Otak Otak was not really up to the standard and some how the fish meat inside is tough. The Claypot rice could have been better if not for the rice is a little too wet and the back sauce... does not taste like the special Malaysian black sauce - Cheong Chan Thick Caramel black sauce. best! However, the highlight of my brunch was really the Char Kway Teow and Hokkien Char. True authentic Penang style and I was really satisfied! When I bite into the crispy pork lard, the most important ingredients in a stir fried noodles. And of course, the skill of the chef must be also very good as I can taste the sweet aroma and fragrance of the wok hey! Lastly, a little disappointed with the Lor Bah, as it is not really fresh. But when I highlight to the manager, she was kind to offer to give me a new o e but I turn her down. I just want this eateries to keep up the good work and uphold the reputation of authentic Penang Cuisines. Would I come back for more even though I had my colon cleansed? Sure, why not! Hehehe...
The food was excellent in serving, seasoning and appearance. Even though it was not yet noon, the restaurant was still crowded with customers and the atmosphere was lively and good.Food: 5/5
I ordered char kuey teow takeaway, my always go to option when I’m visiting. I think it was their last order before kitchen closes as I was not allowed to dine in. I specifically requested no pork, no lard, 100% halal please. Cashier even confirmed that with me before my payment. Got home and opened box, I didn’t notice it initially, as soon as I started to eat, I saw pork in there! Total shock!!! And more and more pork in there, as well as lard! Seriously this is not acceptable, people don’t take pork for religious reason and you offer halal version for some of items on your menu to accommodate people’s diet requirements. I don’t see how I’m gonna visit again given this horrible experience I’ve had! You can’t expect people to open box to check if the order is right before they leave!
Food served quick and efficient. We didn’t have to wait for too long. I ordered cha kway tiao, prata with pedas curry, and their Tuesday only menu, bak kut teh. I also ordered, one of the dessert, sri muka. Everything is just soooo good. You can feel the char on char kway tiao, i would love to come back just for the char kway tiao.
Trust me when I say that their Char Koey Teow is gooood. I’m a Penangnite and we take CKT very very seriously and this plate of goodness did not disappoint. Highly recommend! For ppl who like spice, do remember to order it with extra spice. Taste exactly like the ones we have back home.
Came in for dinner and tried their vegetarian menu and it was superb! The fried tofu and veggies were amazing, had generous portions and easily fed a party of 6. Good value for money and food doesn't cost an arm and leg. It was quite busy but food was served quickly. Staff were friendly and even took the time to have a chat with us.
A nice place for good food. They serve good quantity so it's quiet filling. Usually a very busy place. Long queue to order food. And a big wait to follow. But the food was good. Staff are quiet nice. So I would be going there again. Definitely recommend it if you want to eat Malaysian and you are near Terrace. I wish they had a way to order food ahead of time. So that I do not have to wait...
Went here for a team lunch! It was so good! We ordered in advance and the food arrived quickly.Food: 5/5
This branch on the Terrace is less busy than the Dixon St store. The food is just as good as the Dixon St store. Price is reasonable. The service is a bit off: 1. With a half empty shop I was shown to a table next to the toilet at the back of the shop. 2. Waitress gave me three menu including the lunch menu at dinner time. 3. I have my feedback about point 1 and was given reasons on why the waitress might have shown me that particular table. Recommend for the food but not really about the service.
Good clean place for dining. Ambience is good. Food portions are pretty big and the service is good. Can’t complain about the food but it’s not the best Malaysian food I have had.
