My dearest wife and I went there this evening for a quick meal before an appointment. Parking is in Coronation Plaza as there's no street parking nearby. We got there at around 7.30pm and managed to snag the last table (two subsequent groups were turned away). We ordered the assam laksa, chow kuey teow and the Penang Sampler, while for drinks, we had the ice barley with lime, and a hot barley.

The assam laksa came quite quickly - I guess it should be quick given that it probably just consists of chucking the ingredients into a bowl, ladling soup over said ingredients and there you go ... The taste was great and being Malaysian (for what it's worth), I think it is 99% close to being genuine. I would have liked more of the broken up fish in the soup but otherwise it was spicy, sour and piquant enough to be considered a great assam laksa in my view.

Next up, the CKT and the Penang Sampler arrived. The CKT had good (not great) "wok hei" and looked good to boot. The bean sprouts were crunchy and this offset the softness of the kuey teow. There were five prawns mixed in and my wife pointed out that they were not de-veined and thus only ate three of them. If there's one criticism of the dish, it's that it's not oily enough so that by the time you get to the last few spoonfuls, the kuey teow has kinda congealed into little lumps. Meanwhile the loh bak and sambal chicken wings in the Penang Sampler were delicious enough.

Then dessert: I had the sago gula melaka while my wife had the bubur hitam. Both were great so no complaints here.

We'll be back for sure!

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 ;)
