Penang:Hong Kong Gourmet Kitchen

From Malaysia - Wiki Street Food

Within Penang Bayan Lepas area, there are a few restaurants which claim to be specialists in Hong Kong cuisine, this includes Kim Gary Restaurant, MAX Restaurant (美食之家茶餐楼) and Canton-i. Anyway all these restaurants are either high or medium class, with nice dining environment and slightly above average price.

For people who prefer a Hong Kong local delight that is similar to what Hong Kong people will usually dine in, H.K Gourmet Kitchen(金牌香港粥面小厨) at Bukit Jambul, Penang is one of the options. The restaurant is at a corner shop lot that located exactly opposite Bukit Jambul Complex.

The interior design of this restaurant is exactly same with most of the shop lots in the street of Hong Kong city. The kitchen is transparent to customer, where they can see how the chefs prepare their food. Some roasted duck/chicken/pork are hanging on the shelf in front of kitchen, menus are all over the wall etc. All these creates the feeling of dining in a Hong Kong restaurant.

While for the food, they are also serving some of the most representative Hong Kong cuisine. For example dumpling noodle, roasted duck/chicken/pork rice, porridge and others. Besides quite a number of soups are serving here, like pork soup, salted vegetable duck soup, lotus soup, abalone soup, etc. Although the taste of their food is not as good as some of the popular Hong Kong style restaurant, it is still a place that worth to try out. Due to the price is much cheaper and able to create a dining environment that similar to usual Hong Kong street side restaurant. Anyway the speed of serving might be slower compare to a real Hong Kong restaurant.
