Restaurant Nyonya Batik @ New World Park, Penang

I like nyonya food since young, probably my grandma often cook dishes like loh bak, jiu hu char, acar, periuk ikan, etc. I really miss her cooking. Anyway, we decided to try out this restaurant at New World Park. The price was reasonable like most of the nyonya restaurant in town. This restaurant has a nice authentic ambience with batik cloths for all the tables, old-style chinese lanterns, pottery, etc. As for the food, overall i found it reasonably good, just a little on the salty side.

                  

Batik cloth on each dining table; I order a hot nutmeg drink and it's quite nice as well, not at all diluted like others that I've tried

Interior with chinese nyonya decor

jiu hu char - aromatic but a bit salty. If it is slightly softer and less salty, then i think it would be perfect

Loh Bak (pork) - it's very flavorful and meaty with the correct amount of 5 spice powder--quite satisfying :-)

stir-fry potato leaves with garlic

Ayam Pongteh - braised chicken with shallots and herbs - reasonably good :)

Restoran Kim Seng @ Kampung Benggali

Initially plan to go to Restoran May Fong @ Kampung Benggali for breakfast but found that they didn't open for breakfast hence just settle at this Restoran Kim Seng which is a few door away, which also served koay teow noodles. There was quite some business that morning, not sure if it was the only restaurant opened for business that morning along the Kampung benggali road. Price wise was reasonable hawker fare while the koay teow noodles was abit lack compare to Restoran May Foong. It was a bit too soft but I found it's fish ball still reasonable good.

Dried koay teow



Koay teow soup




Bean sprouts with Roasted pork - the meat a bit cold and the pork skin not crispy
