As a Malaysian who has resided in Bukit Mertajam for over a decade, I can confidently say that this Penang Char Kway Teow is, by far, the most authentic I have ever tasted in Singapore.
I sincerely hope that they will one day consider adding siham to it. It would be an incredible addition! 🥺

We stumbled upon this little gem by chance and had our dinner here. A quiet and cozy spot. It's perfect for unwinding and enjoying a peaceful meal

Recommended: Penang Char Kway Teow
A delightful accidental find in a quiet corner of an ancient relic of a shopping mall :-)
If you like wok hei, then the SGD10 char kway teow is a must order. It has right rare balance of wok hei and a bit of char. Love the generous portion of Chinese sausage (Lup Cheong).
Kueh Pie Tees were decent. Serving them in Peranakan (Straits Chinese) tea cups is a nice touch.
Penang Asam Laksa was fragrant and had an 'old style taste' - right balance mint and prawn paste umami. If the gravy had more minced sardines, it would have been perfect.

A return visit to Penang Kitchen 3 weeks later
Food was good!
Dishes were individually prepared with finesse.
Ordered my first visit favourite char kway teow.
It was packed with old style wok-hei goodness and a generous portion of lup cheong.
The penang prawn noodle soup was good and not as spicy as I expected.
Soup was not overpowering and it packed a solid 'prawn punch'
The seafood hor fun, served in a claypot, was tasty accentuated with a bit of the burnt hor fun taste.
Fried kangkong was fresh. The sambal wasn't too spicy, nicely balanced with a faint belachan fragrance.

Not my first visit to this Penang restaurant, their Assam laska and rojak is one of my favourite, but realised that the prices have increased by quite a bit since my last visit almost a year ago. For two noodles, a sample r, rojak and two drinks it cost $56.
It will be nice if they provide menu with prices instead of just showing the food menu on the table.
