The reconstructed in addition to refurbished edifice of the Penang Chinese Chamber of Commerce (PCCC) is in conclusion ready in addition to a novel spade of tenants accept moved inward the century-old building. One of the notable ones would hold upwardly none other than The Chambers, a hotel amongst a eatery nestled within. The entrance to the eatery tin dismiss hold upwardly constitute on Penang Street, instead of Light Street or King Street. Traipse yourself upwardly to the mo flooring in addition to yous volition larn inward at a seemingly placidity in addition to curious place. The eatery has a classy setting- Chinese ornament amongst Chandelier, inward shades of wooden beam. Traces of antique cabinets, chairs, fifty-fifty Mahjong tabular array tin dismiss too hold upwardly seen. On the menu, it gives diners an watch that The Chambers proffers modern fusion dishes, amongst a Nyonya touch, plainly seen from dishes similar Tu Tor Th'ng/ Pig Stomach Soup, Joo Hoo Char/ Stir Fried Cuttlefish amongst Jicama etc. On the overstep floor, there's an al-fresco dining expanse overlooking Padang Kota Lama, in addition to is particularly suitable for gatherings on evenings.
We were introduced to Chef Jo's special- Stewed Oxtail amongst Dark Beer in addition to Tomatoes served on Mashed (Rm 28), 1 of the signature dishes at The Chambers. The presentation was somewhat dissimilar to what I was expecting. I was anticipating the entire deboned Stewed Oxtail to serve on a bed of Mashed but it turned out to hold upwardly bits of Stewed Oxtail instead of 1 whole piece. The flavors were good, sweetness from the Vege in addition to Red Meat, boozy unique odor from the Beer; well-balanced amongst Spices in addition to Herbs. The Mashed was delectable in addition to it worked perfectly good amongst the Stewed Oxtail, dovetailing each other perfectly. If I were to nitpick, I would prefer Chef to brighten the peppery flavor of the dish, giving the dish a to a greater extent than layered dimension.
We were to a greater extent than than excited to crusade 1 of the famous dishes from Hong Kong- "Kon Chau Ngau Hor"/ Stir Fried Flat Rice Noodles amongst Beef (Rm 18.90). It comes inward a hearty portion, evenly coated amongst a nighttime Brown hue. Inevitably greasy but the Hor Fun possessed the quintessential "wok hei" in addition to was reasonably seasoned. Beef slices were tender in addition to they were really generous amongst the serving. However, nosotros were non quite impressed amongst the "messy" Lettuce-Tomato presentation.
Pumpkin lovers volition hold upwardly amazed past times Roasted Pumpkin Ginger Cream Soup (Rm 10), a sleek of Pumpkin-sweetness underlies every gulp on the rich in addition to thick concoction. Together on the serving was 2 slices of fresh in addition to fluffy Sourdough. However, nosotros watch the pungent characteristics of Ginger were rather soft in addition to quiet, every bit though it never existed. Still a practiced starter to boot off the repast nevertheless.
