Great penang food.
Love the laksa.

Service is however very slow.

The penang food in penang kitchen is thus far as close as i can get to penang style food. My family swears that it is 1 of the places which actually serves something close to the real thing.

The duck soup mee sua and the fried kway teo and 2 of the items which when i think of them makes my saliva drip and my tummy go hungry.

the only thing is the price, if the price was not that high, i would have most prob down 3 plates of the kway teow and 2 bowls of the mee sua.

the drinks and dessert are also quite refreshing and unique to the shop, thus far not been able to find similar tastes anywhere.

As much as i like the food, which i like very much, its location and pricing is 1 of those "boutique food places " which i would frequent only if i am in the area.

BUT IF I AM in the area, i will most defintely go there to eat, other than the MAC donalds down the road at serene centre.

You will find standard Penang fare here: Char Kway Teow, Hokkien Mee, Laksa, Herbal Duck Mee Sua, Rojak etc but I found the taste to be very average and hence, expensive, for the low satisfaction quotient. What you'll leave this eatery with is, only the smell of Penang Kitchen on your clothes and hair.

How come no one mentioned the mee sua (swa??)Actually am not a big fan of mee sua usually - it kind of falls into the category of sick pple food.. like porridge and macaroni...

BUT the one here is really yummy. They have 2 versions - one soupier and the other more starchy, bit like horfun style. Both served in claypot. Very comfort food... (= Yummy!

Aside from the must try CKT and Rojak.. give this simple dish a chance ;)

I've never been to Penang, but to be honest, I always cannot differentiate Malaysian food from Singaporean food, except for some seasoning differences.

You can only tell that no mater how u cook a hokkien mee in Perth, it will never taste like hokkien mee in Singapore, that's all I know.

Anyway, me and my boi always like to find out about new food. So we walked past the place once and thought to return to try the food. We originally thought to try the Curry Wok, but it was packed, so we went over to Penang Kitchen.

This is not bad. a bit noisy cos there was a family with a toddler. Obviously the toddler is the love of their life, but not mine (life anyway), so it was really irritating to have the little thing screaming and shouting when its parents find that endearing.

Spoils my mood to eat really, so if anyone can open a place strictly for adults only, do let me know. *bliss*

Back to my food. We both decided to order the prawn noodles cos it look delicious on the picture (we are visual creatures) and order the sampler, which has the lor bak and something else. We both like the lor bak.

When the noodles came, it was covered with chilli, so my boi scooped his into my bowl and gave me a huge grin. :D

Turns out to be pretty spicy but I like the spicy soup and I think it's really good! one of the best prawn noodles I've ever tasted.

The place however can do with better hygiene and ventilation cos my long silky glossy hair taste like prawn noodles after. whahahahahahhaahah~

For $8.50 a bowl and $12 for the sampler, don't expect hawker prices. I don't mind cos I wasn't the one footing the bill.
