Spanish paella consists of chorizo sausages, paprika, octopus, clams and pink prawns, paired with Rioja Cincuenta Tempranillo 2012 red wine.
β€’
The paella had a pronounced fragrance of paprika, with the rice cooked quite well, still sticky. The capsicum had a burst of sweetness, with the long bean adding some texture. The prawns added a nice burnt briny sweetness, and the octopus and clams a briny chewiness, but the highlight of this dish was really the chorizo which fragrance that was almost intoxicating.

Satay is a traditional Malay dish originating from Indonesian Javanese cuisine made from seasoned skewered meat. Chicken, beef and lamb are the most commonly sold variety, and is seasoned with lemongrass, coriander and chilli powder, but what gives it its colour is actually the key ingredient, turmeric. In Malaysia, satay is cooked over charcoal and served with a side of sliced red onions, cucumber, ketupat (compressed rice), and a sweet peanut sauce for dipping.
β€’
The satay here comes in three varieties, chicken, beef and lamb. The chicken used were from the thighs, cooked perfectly, bouncy to the bite. The were no excess layers of skin, so you’re left with a plump and perfectly cooked skewer. The lamb had a nice aroma to it, and came with a good portion of meat to fat ratio. Hands down one of the best chicken and lamb satay you will find in Kuala Lumpur. Skip the beef.

The Spanish Rabbit Confit consisted of Spanish rabbit cooked in a garlic olive oil confit with rosemary and mashed potatoes paired with Castillo Rodafuerte Arien 2014 white wine.
β€’
The rabbit was cooked in a very low heat for long hours to ensure the flesh tenders well. As rabbit is quite a lean protein, the confit did it justice by the slow cooking. The flesh was perfumed with spices, and came apart with the tug of a fork. The mashed potatoes were fluffy and made a good side to the delicate rabbit. Would order again.

Curry mee is a Malaysian chinese curry noodle dish, made with a curry santan (coconut milk) broth, prawns, chicken, tau pok (beancurd puffs), fuchuk (crispy beancurd skin) fishballs and beansprout.
β€’
The penang variety of curry mee is normally seafood based, which normally includes squid and prawns. Helen’s curry mee however, is a good combination of a chicken based curry with seafood to follow. The broth was very creamy and had sweet overtones to it. The fishballs were a nice addition, with the fuchuk and tau pok adding a nice springy and crunchy texture. Not bad at all.

Char Kway Teow is a teochew-hokkien fried flat rice noodle dish originating from the island of Penang.

β€’
Lorong Selamat char kway teow is one of the most famous versions you can find in Penang, and you can easily see why. The noodles are fried well, with enough wok hei, leaving that charred and burnt umami taste. The use of lard also makes the dish more fragrant, and the highlight of the char kway teow here, really is the giant sized prawns. It's almost like you're having prawns with a side of kway teow. A word of caution: for a great time, only go when its the old aunty frying.

Nasi lemak is a traditional Malay rice dish, cooked in coconut milk and pandan (screwpine) leaves, traditionally served with a side of boiled egg, sambal, peanuts, anchovies and cucumber. Nyonya nasi lemak is a variety found in Penang and Malacca, prepared by the baba and nyonya, also known as the Peranakan.
β€’
The nyonya nasi lemak here is served with a fried fish and asam (tamarind) prawns over a rich coconut rice. The rice has a subtle and fragrant flavour, fluffy and almost silky. The richness of the rice is quite a rare find in itself. The fried fish was crispy and the asam prawns were outstanding, intense sweetness from the sea with a nice tamarind kick. Eat wth shells on to fully absorb the flavours. The sambal also had a nice belacan kick, with every component bringing the dish together in harmony. Simple and unadulterated goodness. One of the best nasi lemak you can find, a must visit when in Penang.

Prawn mee, or colloquially known as Hokkien mee in Penang, is a spicy soup egg noodle dish, served with a spicy prawn stock. The broth is usually made with prawns shells and pork bone and is served with prawns, fish cakes, boiled egg, kangkung (morning glory) and sliced lean pork, garnished with fried shallots and a spoonful of sambal. This dish is also sometimes served with additional toppings including pork ribs, intestines and Chinese sausages.
β€’
The most important part of a good prawn mee is the stock, and this is where Old Green House excels at. The stock has an intense sweetness, yet fragrant with garlic and shallot oil. Old Green House also sells a reputable lor mee which is why their boiled eggs are braised as well, adding a nice sweet flavour. The prawns were small, and could easily been sized up, but didn't take away from the experience. When had with pork ribs, the dish is elevated to a very hearty experience. The stock here has such reputation that other prawn noodle shop buy the stock from them. A little costly but it's definitely worth it.

There is not doubt this is one of, if not, the best char kway teow in Georgetown. The noodles were silky and fragrant. The pork lard were fried burnt wth crispy umami flavours, while the lard oil added a layer of dimension to the dish. The almost fully formed fried egg was fluffy and added a nice texture. Prawns were springy, blood cockles medium rare. You can see why it's so popular. However, the wait of 1 hour was a little much. Be warned.

Nyonya nasi lemak is a variety found in Penang and Malacca, prepared by the baba and nyonya, also known as the Peranakan. This version is usually prepared in a more Chinese style, where the sambal tends to be a little sweeter with the use of more onion, and the rice a little richer.
β€’
The nyonya nasi lemak here is served with a side of chicken curry, an omelette, a small pot of sambal and empingan (belinjo crackers). The rice had a rich and creamy aroma, typical of nyonya style nasi lemak, and the sambal sweet and concentrated, yet had the pronounced scent from the belacan (fermented shrimp paste). The sambal had a certain kick to it. Just tasty.

Nasi berlauk (rice with mixed dishes) is a Kelantanese Malay rice dish, consisting of Siamese white rice, served with a side of coconut turmeric curry known as gulai. This is normally served with a gulai ayam (chicken in coconut turmeric curry) or gulai ikan tongkol (skipjack tuna). The dish is also served with some gulai sayur (vegetables such as long beans and cucumber), sambal belacan, half a boiled egg and a sliver of salted fish. What sets the gulai apart is that its usually fragrant and a bit spicier than other regional gulai.
β€’
The nasi berlauk here is served with a choice of chicken, beef, fish, prawn or squid. The rice portion here is just right, where the Siamese rice is drenched in a rich sweet and savoury curry, which Malaysians will call β€˜cukup lemak’ simply meaning β€œrich enough”. The chicken is cooked thoroughly with the flavour really seeping into its flesh, and the vegetables were sweet from the long cooking. A great way to eat nasi berlauk is for the spicy gulai to be drenched all over the rice for you to experience this dish in all its authenticity.
