Fu Er Dai – Dim Sum in Georgetown, Penang

If you talk about dim sum restaurants in Georgetown, Penang that you would like to recommend trying at least once, Fu Er Dai is the one. This restaurant is located on Sultan Ahmad Shah Road, not far from the city center. The atmosphere of the restaurant is quite simple, spacious, and airy, suitable for eating dim sum in the morning or late morning without rushing. What makes this restaurant stand out is the freshness and quality of the ingredients used in each menu, as well as the flavors that are cooked to be very rich and well-balanced. Starting with the classic menu, “Shrimp Dumplings” (Siew Mai), the dumplings have a thin dough that is filled to the brim with filling, and on top, there are large fresh shrimps, adding even more premiumness. This is one of the menus that you really have to order every time. In addition, this restaurant’s “Har Gao” (Har Gao) is no ordinary dish. The dumpling dough is thin and slightly transparent, allowing you to clearly see the shrimp filling inside. The natural sweet flavor of the fresh shrimp is crispy when you bite into it, full of freshness. A must-try menu item is the “Exploding Salted Egg Yolk Custard Bun”, which has very soft bread and the warm salted egg filling oozes out when you bite into it. The salted egg cream is sweet and creamy, giving you a super satisfying feeling. This is a menu that dim sum and dessert lovers shouldn't miss. Another thing I like is the "Fried Taro Pastry" (Woo Kok), which is crispy on the outside but soft and sweet on the inside, not too greasy. It is a snack that can complete your meal very well. The ordering system of the shop is convenient. Customers will receive a queue card and walk to the counter to choose dim sum. Whether it is steamed or fried, you will see the staff making it fresh right there. After choosing, take the card to pay at the counter in front, so you don't have to wait long for your food and you can see your order clearly. The service here is friendly and fast. The staff are smiling and helpful in recommending menus, making you feel warm and comfortable like you are eating at your regular restaurant. Overall, Fu Er Dai is a dim sum shop that meets the needs of those who love freshness, newness, and authentic Cantonese flavors in a comfortable atmosphere that is not too luxurious. It is suitable for breakfast or late morning when you want to recharge before going out to explore Penang. If you visit Penang and want to try traditional dim sum with good flavor and lots of ingredients, this shop is a must-try. I guarantee that you will be impressed and want to come back again for sure! #Travel plan giveaway#trip
