Penang Kitchen is a small cozy restaurant located along Tanjong Katong Road which serves authentic Penang fare at wallet friendly prices.The interior of the restaurant is cozy & welcoming with a seating capacity of only about 30. A great place to have a small family gathering but maybe due to the place being small, chatters of neighbouring diners seems rather loud throughout the meal.We started off the meal with a refreshing classic Penang drink but rarely seen in Singapore - Nutmeg Lime ($3.20)

We started off the meal with a refreshing classic Penang drink but rarely seen in Singapore - Nutmeg Lime ($3.20). This is the first i had ever tried Nutmeg and I would say it's a rather interesting experience. The Nutmeg lime is kind of like Sour Plum drink without the sourness and with a hint of cinammony taste.
One of the must have starter you must have at Penang Kitchen is the Penang Sampler ($13) which consist of their Homemade Penang Lor Bak and Belacan Chicken Wings. Their Lor Bak is not your usual Lor Bak but more like our Wu Xiang.. something you must try at Penang Kitchen! Their Belacan Chicken Wings are nice & crispy, though a little salty, but delicious nonetheless.
I am a big fan of Assam Laksa and I must say the Assam Laksa here is really good! Spicy and Sour but not over the top for both. Definitely one of the best I have tried, I cant help sipping at the soup even after I have finished the noodles.
Another one of my favourite dish is their Penang Char Kway Teow which unlike our usual Singaporean Char Kway Teow, have thin Kway Teows and a generous amout of ingredients like chinese sausages, beanspouts and prawns.One thing I really like about this Char Kway Teow is that they dont have the greasy uncomfortable feeling that you sometimes get when you eat a plate of oily Char Kway Teow. The Penang Char Kway Teow here is light but still bursting of flavours. very nice!
For dessert, we had Hot Almond with Tang Yuan ($4.80) which is outstanding as well. The Almond paste is super smooth and the star for me is the Tang Yuan itself.. Soft, chewy and bursting with black sesame paste. Super Yums!
Overall, Penang Kitchen left a great impression on me with their delicious dishes, wallet friendly prices and fantastic service. I will definitely bring my friends here for some authentic Penang food again.
