Chinese New Year @New World Park

Posted by: CK Lam in Cafe, Georgetown, Hawker, Nyonya, Penang Restaurant, Peranakan, Western

New World Park located in the heart of Georgetown has been billed as a everything-under-one-roof project. It currently houses a number of restaurants, a couple of franchise eateries, a performance pavilion, boutiques and last but not least, the Hawker Center! Food crawling is a good idea as there are plenty of dining options and you can move from one outlet to the other sampling the food Penang has to offer. With the Chinese New Year around the corner, this entertainment outlet, decorated in red has a number of exciting events all lined-up.

The events to usher in the Year of the Ox :

1) Lion Dance – 17th, 31st January & 3rd February (2pm, 8.30pm & 2pm)

Dinning with Rasa Malaysia @ Crab Village Restaurant, Penang

Posted by: CK Lam in Chinese, Gathering, Penang Restaurant, Seafood, Tanjung Bungah

Do you like to know how does the editor of Rasa Malaysia looks like? A few of us bloggers got the privilege to meet up with this famous food blogger who was back in Penang for the holidays. We not only get to meet her but also dine with her at the Crab Village Restaurant which is just a stone throw away from the Floating Mosque in Tanjung Bungah. Thanks to Lingzie for arranging this meeting for us.

This restaurant has a sheltered open air seating area and a fully air-conditioned dining hall. They offered a variety of fresh seafood selection. This first dish of kappa (clams) is fried with sweet and sour sauce, which is very appetizing and good for a starter.

Penang Nyonya Food

Posted by: CK Lam in Nyonya, Penang, Penang Restaurant, Peranakan, Tanjung Tokong

Found a cosy cafe serving authentic Nyonya cuisine at Tanjung Tokong situated behind The Penang Chinese Swimming Club (next to Naza Hotel). It’s “NYONYA CAFE”.

The place is fully air-conditioned and is nicely decorated with many antiques. We spend some of the time taking these photographs while waiting for the dishes.

We had (from clockwise) the Black Vinegar Pork Trotter (tu-car chor), Nasi Ulam, Perut Ikan and Acar Fish (photo below). The Pork Trotter in Vinegar was a bit oily and had too much of the black soya sauce. Still the gravy as a whole was delicious.

The Nasi Ulam (rice dish) uses a variety of fresh herbs. The herbs and rice were blended together with grated coconut and served cold. The herbs gave out a strong and pungent aroma.

The Ikan Perut was good. It is not very spicy but very lemak because they used a lot of the coconut milk (santan). Fish stomach is the main ingredient of this dish and we wish they could have added more of this.

The Acar Fish (fish pickle) was equally as good as the rest. The ginger and garlic was well seasoned as a pickle.

The dessert of the day that we ordered was very very good. It is a gravy of rich coconut milk, sugar and shaved ice, topped up with jackfruit. The ice was shaved very fine and smooth (like the shaved ice cendol that can be found in Melaka).

All the dishes that we ordered surely did whet our appetite.
