From Malaysia - Wiki Street Food

HOT WOK has been operating in and around Tanjung Tokong district as early as in 1994. After more than a decade in the Nyonya food industry, the restaurant recently had decided to relocate into two adjoining double storey pre-war houses along Jalan Burma, Penang to grace the heritage of the Peranakans (Straits Chinese). Easily accessible, Hot Wok makes an excellent venue for corporate entertaining and dining with the intricate Peranakan decor, burnished marble top tables, sepia furniture and a series of historic photo collections.

Hot Wok’s concept that is deceptively simple but involves a complex balance of Nyonya food and local hawker favourites has something for every diner to enjoy. The restaurant not only offers their dining guests traditional Penang Nyonya cuisine such as the timeless Jiu Hoo Char, tasty Gulai Tumis Fish, all time favorite Inche Kabin and the appetizing Assam Prawns, but also provides local delights like the Hokkien Prawn Mee, Assam Laksa and Or Kuih with a delicate blend of many special herbs and spices. You have the options to dine with comfort in the air-conditioned area or the Kopitiam setting while enjoying your legendary Curry Kapitan, Perut Ikan and Assam Prawns.

For dessert, they serve special Cendol (Chilled Green Pea Jelly with Red Kidney Beans, topped with Gula Melaka and Coconut Cream), Sago Nangka (Chilled Sago with Fresh Jackfruit in Coconut Cream) or even our Sago Honeydew. They also have home brewed Chestnut Cane Juice (Ma Tai Tek Chia) and Nutmeg Juice (Lau Hau).

Local food critics such as Criz Bon Appetite and international travel guides websites such as Concierge and Frommer’s for The New York Times, have consistently reviewed Hot Wok as amongst the rare and good quality dining experiences in Malaysia. Despite the widespread popularity of our cuisine, Hot Wok is still within the affordability level of most people compared to other high priced restaurants in Penang. Hot Wok was also awarded Best Restaurant by Malaysian Tatler Magazine in 1998 and 2004 and featured in TVB Hong Kong food channel in 2007.
