Love Nutrient Izakaya Yesteryear Sango @ Noordin Road, Georgetown, Penang.

Set inwards a bar setting, Izakaya By Sango is the latest improver to Penang's Japanese dining scene. The barely signposted spot is difficult to honour together with does non propose Japanese hospitality. But every bit the advert suggests, the identify runs every bit an "Izakaya"... a casual Japanese Pub, the multifariousness of liquor is a thing, the identify offers worth-looking modern Japanese menu. We could nation that the identify serves practiced Donburi every bit the multifariousness suggests but at that spot are also approximately Japanese delights uncommonly flora inwards classic Japanese spots. The setting is suitable for a drinkable over approximately Japas "Japanese Tapas" or a quick Japanese repast inwards lieu of proper identify unit of measurement dining; produce non hold off things to hold out lowly priced hither but non to the extent that it volition interruption the bank.

Unagi Tamago Donburi (Rm 45)

Hiyamugi Pasta (Rm 18)

Ikura & Foie Gras Chawanmushi (Rm 18)

We were definitely pleased to watch the aesthetically presented Hiyamugi Pasta... mutual depression temperature Noodles served amongst Ebiko, thinly sliced Beetroot, Deep Fried Garlic flakes together with Sesame dip. Though simple, it was virtually refreshing; every bit though nosotros were having Salad... the Sesame dip was nicely done... non also creamy nor heavy to become amongst the Noodles. Equally practiced was Unagi Tamago Donburi... grilled Unagi served on Japanese Rice amongst Onsen Tamago. It does come across our expectation (but non mind-blowing) but for that division (with Miso Soup), nosotros idea it was overpriced. We accept had the exact affair at another Japanese eating seat (in Penang) for slightly lower rate.

Love Nutrient Whatsaeb Thai Boat Noodles @ Carnavon Street, Georgetown, Penang.

WhatSaeb Thai Boat Noodles made its get-go debut inwards The Saw Emporium before this year, the Boat Noodle specialist is well-established inwards Klang Valley but has late relocated to Penang. The novel location tin last found at Carnavon Street in addition to the house offers an array of Thai delights; await to come across roughly authentic, robust Thai Noodles, Rice dishes in addition to sides. Prices are standard-average but the serving portions are smaller than our expectations.... to a greater extent than similar a house to gustation the variety (of flavors) than a house for filling meal.

Dry Chicken Thai Boat Noodles (Rm 13.80)

Shrimp Pad Thai (Rm 13.80)

Som Tum (Rm 10.80)

Giaw Tod Dumplings (Rm 8.80)

It's a must to endeavour their signature Thai Boat Noodles... WhatSaeb's rendition comes amongst either Dry or Soup version.... served amongst a Chicken Drumstick, Meatballs in addition to Herbs. The serving constituent was pretty minor in addition to was no where well-nigh to a filling meal. The texture of the Noodles was alright but it was a picayune over-seasoned inwards our opinion. We needed to add together a dash of Chili sauce to neutralizes the salinity.

The Shrimp Pad Thai on the other hand, fared improve than the Boat Noodle inwards our opinion. The flavors were peachy in addition to the texture was amazing. If at that spot was i affair that nosotros promise they could improve... it would last the Sugar served aside. Though it's a customary to serve Sugar amongst Pad Thai but this is definitely non the agency nosotros locals bask it. The star dish of the level was Som Tum... addictively crunchy amongst robust flavors... spicy, sweet, salty in addition to sour, all blended inwards a unmarried dish.
