Penang Star Choice

#Hedonistic Traveler Like to eat and drink around, accumulated, Hong Kong, Macao, Japan, Korea star Thai, so that the European car wheel people star shop have eaten a lot, but 22 years at the end of the Michelin guide Malaysia, has not seen. There are only two star restaurants in Penang, both of which are one star, namely Au Jardin, a French restaurant, and Auntie Gaik Lean's Old School Eatery. Although the author likes to eat French cuisine fine dining, but a come to Penang, and no reason not to eat Nyonya cuisine, so I chose the latter. It doesn't matter if you book a table online in advance and have to drop a little Deposit, this is normal practice. Let's start with some drinks, barley water and rose specialty drinks are not expensive, but the taste is bland. Seeing that there is a Nyonya platter on the menu, you can try several things at once, so you have to try it. The fried shrimp cake is somewhat like tempura, but it is not crispy enough and there is not much shrimp meat. The salad of wild vegetables and carrots is spicy and quite appetizing. The crispy sticks in the golden cup are done quite well, crispy enough, the fillings such as scallions and shrimp meat are plentiful, and they are also slightly spicy and refreshing. The texture and taste of the spiced bean curd skin rolls are to my liking. I didn't plan to order fried rice, but the shopkeeper strongly recommended it, so I'll give it a try! Refreshing, and a lot of spices feel, quite special, but not to love at first try. Then order a squid salad, the texture is not tough, sour and spicy, a little like Thai products. I have to have some dessert to be complete, but there are only three choices here, not even Nyonya pastries. As a result, I chose a traditional sweet soup Pengat, which is full of bananas, taro, etc. in coconut milk ingredients, but the taste is very sweet, which may not be acceptable to everyone. But authentic enough, I, as an overdone sweet devil, naturally have to clear it. It's finally a pretty special star experience~ Restaurant information: Auntie Gaik Lean's Old School Eatery 1, Bishop St, Georgetown, Penang
