Penang Place Restaurant - Quality Penang Food

ABBEY: Our first NEM meetup is at Penang Place (Suntec). I tried their fried rice set. It comes with crispy fried chicken wing, slices of cucumber, baby tomatoes, and pickled carrot, cucumber, ginger and radish. 

The rice is a whole meal in itself. It has shrimps, egg, and vegetables. All the elements in my plate are complementing each other. I enjoyed the meal.

MENU

WILL: It's a meetup! NEMSG meets NEMPH! Wohoo! We celebrated over food at Penang Place at Suntec City. 

I went for Asam Laksa. This taste is pretty near on the the one we ate at Kuala Lumpur. The aroma of delectable fish sauce heightens the taste of its thick soup. Yum! Noodles were firm and not overcooked. 

If a bowl is not enough for you? They are offering a buffet.

Binagoongang Baboy (Pork in Shrimp Paste)

WILL: Papa RS brought us his famous bagoong (shrimp paste) and what such a good meal to do with it? Of course, BINAGOONGANG BABOY. 

First, be careful to put a right amount of shrimp paste or else it will end it to a disaster. Abbey found the perfect amount that make my appetite blast upward. I made three rounds of rice on this. Haha. 

Pork is tender and shrimp paste gives a bearable salty kick on it. Yum!
