Edoichi Japanese Cuisine

My Ratings: 3 Stars

Cuisine: Japanese
Location: Ground floor, Island Plaza, Penang (next to Coffee Bean)

Non Halal

RM30 - 45 per person

"Edo" which was renamed to "Tokyo" in 1868. Edo was the capital city of the Tokugawa Shogunate before the Meiji Restoration

The modern term "Japanese Cuisine" aka Nihon ryori or washoku means traditional styled Japanese food. Japanese cuisine is known for its emphasis on seasonality of the food (shun), quality of the ingredients and presentation.

Edoichi JC just opened about a month and a half ago and has been enjoying a steady stream of customers. The menu is beautifully pictured and the restaurant has a sushi bar with pleasant seating arrangement and private rooms,

The service is courteous and the staffs are always eager to check with the customers on their needs to make the dinning experience more comfortable. Each table has a service call button adds to the service factor

We ordered some lunch sets and Katsu curry. The sets ordered chicken teriyaki, beef teriyaki, Tofu steak and tempura set. For drinks we ordered Cola Fizz, Vanilla Banana shake and green tea (ocha). The taste was OK but we found the teriyakis slightly salty.

The ambiance is pleasant and a good escape from the heat of the day. Great sushi bar and a nice aquarium. Overall the price is slightly above average. They charge RM1 per pax for ocha. No government tax but service charge is included.

Daore Korean Premium BBQ

My Ratings: 5 Stars

Cuisine: Korean BBQ

Location: Jalan Tanjung Tokong (next to Petronas Station), 10470 Penang

Non-halal

RM40-80 per person

The sudden popularity of Korean cuisine fuels an explosion of Korean restaurants on the Island.....and Daore Korean Premium BBQ suddenly opened with two restaurant within a year. The first was in Bayan Point and the lastest project is in Tanjung Tokong.

The setup is impressive. No money is spared in designing its decor, equipment and hiring their service staffs.

As expected, you get great service. Order a minimum of two BBQ dishes and their cook it right in front for you. The dining experience comes with lots of extra side dishes like Kim-Chi, pickled vegetables, seaweed soup, desserts and a lot more assortments of tit-bits. Some items changes daily.

All you have to do is to order your main course/dishes and all the rest is taken care of. If you order the BBQ, there is a method to eat the BBQ meats. Get a piece of green salad, dip the meat in sesame oil, then their special chili bean paste and combine with a piece of garlic and shallots and wrap it up and chew it all in one mouthful. Gastronomic Heaven!!

We ordered Dak-gal-bi (lean skinless chicken marinated in hot chili sauce) RM27, Hanbang Dweji Wang Galbi (Choice pork ribs marinated in Korean Ginseng and herbs extract with sweet soy sauce) RM35, Unagi Galbi (eel) RM40

There are choice of seating arrangements you can request the restaurants. there is the standard chair and table, then there Tatami style and lastly tatami style in private rooms that looked like a village of many traditional Korean houses.

The Chief Chef is a Korean and he takes time to meet the restaurant customers. ......Great customer service!!! The Manager is also Korean and the staffs is not locals too (definitely not Koreans)

Ample parking with valet service. Great food and quality ingredients. Good ambiance makes the overall dining experience great. But be warned, you come out of the restaurant after meals smelling like BBQ on your body, attire and hair (despite lots of suction ventilation). So don't plan on going on another date after dinner....just straight to shower and a fresh change of attire

Goh Huat Seng

My Ratings: 4 Stars

Cuisine: Chinese/Teo Chew
Location: 59A Kimberly Street (junction with Jalan Pintal Tali), Georgetown, Penang
Non Halal
RM15-25 per person

Talk about stepping back in history. This restaurant must be one of the few remaining that have not changed its facade since business started there. It's historic looking.

Started in 1953, this restaurant is one of the oldest and most popular Teo Chew restaurant on the island. Now, run by Mr. Sew Boo who took over this business from his father Goh Eng Poh in 1977 and moved to its current location.

The restaurant serves typical Teo Chew delicacies like Oh Chien (Oyster Omelette), Lor Ark (Brasied Duck with Five Spices), Chim Bak Kean (Crab Roll), Heh Bak Kean (Prawn Roll) and of course Or Knee for dessert. All are house specialty and pictured.

Apart from Chinese dishes, dinner can also order their steamboat set from RM60. But these are not your typical modern day steamboat cooked over an electric or gas stove. This steamboat is over red hot charcoal fire using a traiditional steamboat apparatus. Wow! this certainly up the historic value/points of the place and experience. But this steamboat apparatus had the help of modern technology. Its owners provide a mini battery operated fans to help fan the hot ambered fire

We ordered all of its house specialties and more. We ordered their fish ball soup with sea weed floss, long beans, pork with preserved vegetables, Chinese Chai Sim and steamed fish Teo Chew style.

Delicious. Taste is balanced. Not too salty nor oily as with typical Teo Chew cooking style. The only twist was the Or Knee. Normally this traditional dessert is Yam is covered with rice sheet and steamed until the rice sheet is almost translucent. Here the Or Knee is deep fried using flour sheets

Parking is limited along the busy streets in that area. So being there early to avoid walking a distance from you car and back. Also be there early as it can get pretty pack with customers especially during the weekend.

Cash term only. For reservation, call+604 2615811. Opens 11:00am - 3:00pm for lunch and 5:30pm - 9:30pm. Closed on alternate Mondays.
