Favourite eating places in Penang

one fine Saturday afternoon , while Ann and I were having lunch at an old retro shop, we wrote this down..


Retro shops


1) Ecco Cafe (Chulia St)
The favourite dish - Cream Brulle (think its just my favourite dish!)

2) Soul Kitchen (Lebuh Muntri)

3) Kopi Cine (Lorong Stewart)
The favourite thing - crayons provided on each table to doodle

4) Amelia (Armenian St)

5) Babylon Beach Cafe
Ann's recommendation : sandwhiches

Chinese Restaurants

1) Paya Terubung Seafood
All our favourites - kam heong crabs, small fried fish with sauce, ladies fingers, soup - with the best PR thanks to Melissa :)

2) Sin Kheng - Authentic Hakka Shop @ Love Lane
The favourite - Asam Fish

3) Goh Teok Chee @ Sg Nibung
The favourite - Teow Chew fish

4) Maxim @ Pekaka
My favourite - Siu Mai

5) Shanghai Dim Sum @ One Stop
Ann's recommendation

6) Authentic Cantonese Food @ Nordin St

7) Yong Tau Fu shop @ Sg Nibung

8) Fatty Loh Chicken Rice
only because they serve kicap pekat with the chicken rice (and if u r from Klang, you would understand why that is very important)

Indian Food

1) Anantha Bhawan @ st perpendicular to Market St
Our all time favourite : chicken peratal, chappati & kadala curry

2) Karaikudi @ Market St
The favourite : Chicken Briyani, bru coffee & ginger tea

3) Little shop with the blue door near market st.
Ann says the chicken peratal is awesome - tried going in but it was full pack at only 12.15pm!

4) Aunty's shop - near kayu
One of the regular affordable decent home cooked indian food

Malay Food :

1) Cargas @ Balik Pulau
Super freaking good kari ikan pari & ayam goreng - stuff that Khairul and PO never says no to

2) Minah @ Gelugor
Definitely above average but perhaps not memorable - the best thing though is that it is so cooling , and if you have been to Penang before, you would know why this is important

3) Pak Hussein @ Sg Ara

4) Nurul Ikan Bakar @ near the Marine, left hand side off the bridge
Siti's recommendation : in her own words, " They have the yummiest Udang butter, Sotong goreng tepung n of course the ikan"

Mamak :

1) Kapitan
Chicken briyani & Tandoori

2) Mee goreng/Mee Jawa @ Jalan Siam

3) Kayu @ Sg Nibung
the best is still the roti kosong & milo ais

Nasi Lemak :

1) Across Kwang Hua school (next to the field) @ Sg Nibung
available from 7am - 8am

2) Kayu Nasi Lemak

3) Agilent cafe 60cents nasi lemak bungkus

International Food :

1) German - Ingulf Kneipe @ Penang Swim Club

2) Sweedish - Edelweiss @ Armenian St

3) Canadian - Strada @ Pulau Tikus
thus far, it has never dissapointed us

4) Italian - Mario's Ristorante @ Ferringhi
this one is definitely memorable - my first Christmas dinner with Melissa when i moved to Penang, my farewell dinner when I left

5) Italian Pizza Place - Bella Italia @ Ferringhi
the one in Feringgi - if you have the patience to wait, has the best pizza in Penang by a mile

Note : After penning this down, i realise almost most of it have been introduced by Ann and Melissa..Terima Kasih!
