Penang Hawker Restaurant

Sam Au

Look no further for authentic Malaysian dishes. The salted fish pork belly dish is one the few ones I have tasted that actually puts salted fish in the dish, giving the dish the extra dimension where it derives its name, a must try I would say! The hot plate egg tofu is one the best I've tasted in Sydney, you can taste the egg and the egg tofu distinctively, yet the pork gravy binds it together so well, perfect for a little drama before you dig in too! Who says dramatic is only meant for hatted and Michelin-stared dishes? I will definitely be back to try other dishes, then I'll decide if I will give it the 5th star!

Absolutely blown away by this food at Penang Hawker! Been meaning to try for a long time instead of Viet or Chinese cuisines. Nice and comfortable inside and the Waitress was very helpful and friendly us being not Malay. Of course we over ordered as per usual lol but we started with a fantastic nasi Goreng, a first for me outside of Bali and it was very tasty with a nice spice hit! Wrapped in omelette. Next sticky pork ribs with Marmite which was so savoury but superb and totally filling. We also got the crispiest chicken with crispy pork and it was the bomb, served with rice and broth and two delicious sambal. The dry fried beans with pork was good but too oily for me and the Chinese version is also too oily when I've had it at other restaurants. Also got two curry with roti. The chicken curry was devine and the roti nice and buttery. The rendang was good too but again a bit oily for me but I realised when I put it in container the curry sauce was under the oil lol and it was good but the chicken less oily and more flavour. Overall it was fantastic and we will be back again. Thanks for the great service too! Cash only!
