Best and Unique Tom Yum Noodle Soup in Penang

This kind of Tom Yum you can only get it in Penang and not other places. I will say this is one of the must try food in Penang. First impression, it doesn't smell good. It smells like a pee indeed  :) But after you get used to it, it is really tasty and spicy. If you enjoy spicy food, this is for you! If it is not hot enough, you can add more chilies which you can get it directly from the stall.

Food/Overall - 8/10

It is a hawker food style. There are only 2 places that you can get this type of Tom Yum which I find the best in Penang. First one is the Food Court at Sunshine Square and second one is the Sunshine Market which is also very nearby, the other side of Jalan Mayang Pasir (see map below).

These 2 owners are brothers. You can order pork meat or fish meat or mixed pork and fish meats. I usually order the mix one. Yummy!

Very Bad Food at Starview Restaurant at New World Park Penang

I was asking around and was told that Starview Restaurant is one of the top high-class Chinese restaurants especially if you want to have celebrate something big but it was a disappointment when I went there few weeks ago for my parents birthday celebration/ Thus, I do not understand why it is so famous? It is probably my problem or I ordered the wrong dishes.

Food / Price - 4/10

Food here is really suck and it doesn't not reflect to high-class or high-end Chinese restaurant. In my opinion, normal Chinese hawker store is a lot more better than this.

By the way, I find that the food picture cannot really reflects to how delicious of the food is. For example, these food pictures look pretty good also right? But it tastes really not good. E.g.: the soup above has very plain taste...

Tasteless fish head soup...

Normal fried noodle at the end and not taste very good too...

I think this small dish is the best dish and special among the rest but it is not a main dish. If memory serves me right, it is used for eat together with the fish head soup.

Again as I said, I may probably ordered the wrong dishes and I really do not enjoy the food here. Given the poor food quality there, the price is unreasonable. It is not worth it!


Environment - 7/10

Environment is okay like many other restaurants but if the food is not nice, let's don't talk about it.

 
Overall - 4/10

I will not recommend to come here or having any celebration here although it is famous. :)
