Love Nutrient Feng Yi Dumplings (凤姨粽子) @ Weld Quay, Georgetown, Penang.

Bak Chang or Glutinous Rice Dumpling is likely i of the favorite festive foods for many as well as it takes a lot of problem as well as endeavour to brand a adept one. The training tin post away last strenuous. Feng Yi Dumplings, i of the oldest Glutinous Rice Dumpling establishments inward Penang; has been serving their regular patrons for many years. In the recent few years, they cause got managed to expand their concern as well as opening a novel outlet at Weld Quay (they were previously selling inward i of the houses inward a small-scale alley at Weld Quay). Most regular patrons would opt for takeaways but if y'all are inward the mood to dine in, at that spot are a few tables alongside uncomplicated setup available either. 



Crystal Dumplings/ 水晶粽 (2 pcs/ Rm 3)


Glutinous Rice Dumpling/ 富贵粽 (Rm 7)

There are a few types of Glutinous Rice Dumplings available hither at Feng Yi... as well as that includes the much-sought later on Nyonya Glutinous Dumplings but all of them were non available on our visit, it could last dissimilar on special occasion nevertheless. The green Glutinous Rice Dumplings come upwardly inward iii dissimilar tiers, the inferior ones, the usual-average ones as well as the premium ones. We opted for the green ones. The flavors were weak as well as it did non actually hitting us alongside a rattling deep impression. Some of us were inward the thought that the fats/ lards were insufficient as well as thus, affecting the overall texture as well as dimension.

Crystal Dumplings (also known every bit Lye Water Dumplings or Kee Chang) were sold inward pairs as well as they come upwardly inward larger sizes than usual. It is commonly served alongside a generous helping of Brown Sugar, doused over the shining-yellow hue Dumplings. The texture was chewy as well as resilient, would last best enjoyed field mutual frigidity (in my opinion). All inward all, nosotros idea their Glutinous Rice Dumplings were alright as well as cypher out of the ordinary. I'd exceed away on it inward heed as well as inward the number that I am inward serious crave for Glutinous Rice Dumplings, I'll likely take in again. Not the casual house that I'd take in on a regular basis.


Vietnamese Spring Rolls (2 pcs/ Rm 6)


Jicama Dumplings/ 水晶菜粿 (Rm 3.50)

We noticed at that spot are a twain of familiar Vietnamese dishes at Feng Yi as well as Spring Rolls are i of them. The filling was something odd that my untrained sense of savor buds could non discern. It was mushy inward texture as well as lacked of the crunch. The Jicama Dumplings were generously stuffed alongside julienned Jicama as well as nosotros similar how uncomplicated it was done but the peel was less than satisfying. It was agency every bit good soft inward texture, it melted without whatever bite... non the slightly chewy-gooey texture that nosotros would cause got hoped. 


Koay Teow Soup/ 南洋粿条 (Rm 7.50)


Golden Bean Dessert/ 金沙汤 (Rm 3)

As if Glutinous Rice Dumplings were non calorific plenty for us, nosotros had an extra companionship of their Koay Teow Th'ng, the noodles were smoothen as well as low-cal field the broth was build clean as well as slowly on the palate, paired alongside around Meat Balls as well as Shrimps. The existent depict was the sweetness as well as tangy Fish Sauce alongside chopped Bird's Eye Chilies.... which added a Vietnamese dimension to the dish. It was alright but non peculiarly amazing.

For a sweetness end, nosotros had their Golden Bean Dessert... which was served to us pipage hot. The Mung Bean season was weak or perhaps, overshadowed yesteryear the fragrance of Pandan. It was delicately sweetened alongside an agreeable thickness. Though non outstanding, it was a comfortable warm dessert to savor on a regular basis.
