Food Recommendations:

​

1.Penang Signature Assam Laksa

  • A bowl of this tangy goodness sets you back $3.50. The broth is boldly flavoured, with a terrific agreement of sweet, sour, and spicy notes. Coupled with shrimp paste and the slightly tart tamarind that complements the strong taste of the sardines atop the noodles, it makes for a light and refreshing dish.

  • Opening hours: Daily 2pm to 9:30pm

​

2.Xie Kee Hokkien Mee

  • This Hokkien mee is more gooey and saucy than dry, and the yellow noodles used are flat instead of the usual rounded ones. Mix a generous amount of chilli in to add a fiery kick to the noodles that have been touched by the ‘breath of the wok’.

  • Opening hours: Tue-Sun 11am to 10pm

​

3.Yong Seng Satay

  • Its fat-to-meat ratio is on point, making it juicy and tender. Dunk your satay into their peanut sauce that comes with a dollop of pineapple puree. The puree is sweet and slightly tangy, adding a hint of delicious summer sweetness to the sauce.

  • Opening hours: Wed-Mon 11:30pm to 8pm

​

4.He Zhong Carrot Cake

  • Each bite is firm on the outside and moist in the middle, providing a contrast in texture. There is also a good scattering of chye poh, adding a slight crunch and burst of umami saltiness.

  • Opening hours: Daily 7am to 10pm

​

5.Nyonya Chendol

  • Nyonya Chendol offers their chendol four ways, and what sets Nyonya Chendol’s dessert apart from the rest is the deliciously gao gula melaka sauce and thick coconut milk they heavy-handedly drizzle on top of shaved ice.

  • Opening hours: Fri-Wed 10am to 9pm
