Top Kitchen Penang Cuisine, Manjalara Kepong - Next to New Tesco Kepong Village Mall

I love Penang Tuapan aka Wat Tan Hor (Braised fried flat noodles) and would be on the lookout for it all the time. KL type wat tan hor doesn't go down well with me. I still prefer Penang style tuapan (wide flat noodles), so I was quite happy to chance upon Top Kitchen restaurant which is located next to the new Tesco Kepong Village Mall. Many restaurants moved over to this location once there were news that Tesco construction was about to complete. This once quiet place is now teaming with diners during peak hours!

I found out from the lady boss that she is from Raja Uda Butterworth.......and her brother has a very popular restaurant back home, selling Tuapan. Raja Uda is famous for reasonably priced and tasty food. The total cost for 3 plates of noodles and rice plus drinks came out to be RM17. A good price for such a comfortable dining environment.

This is my tuapan, Penang Style, just the way I like it!

As usual, my son would go for Penang Hokkien Mee (Prawn noodles, har mien) which is very flavourful.

My daughter wanted fired rice, so I ordered egg wrap fried rice for her. The fried rice is very tasty! I recomend this dish!

After a nice lunch of Penang food at Top Kitchen Penang Cuisine, we bought back some nice chocolate and cheese from the counter inside the shop (RM11.10 for 3 pcs). Very creamy and nice!

Wat tan Hor is my all time favourite, their Hokkien mee looks really different from what we have here leh, it's normally 'black' over here!

The last picture, those are cakes? Or just simply chocolate and cheese?

Pete said...

Alice : The Hokkien mee is actually har mee. We call it Hokkien mee in Penang. The last picture are cakes.

So many of the foods you highlight in your posts looks like the kind of foods I would enjoy too. The tuapan, Penang Style looks delicious! Strong, fishy flavors are not my favorite but all of the pork and chicken dishes sound good. Especially the ones on the sweeter side.

Fun visiting these exciting places via your blog!

Sending Merry Christmas wishes to you too! Happy New Year :)
