Скачать или смотреть Eating delicious Malaysian Chinese Food at Tek Sen Restaurant in Georgetown - Penang, Malaysia

To satisfy our most recent cravings, we headed over to a popular local Malaysian Chinese restaurant (Tek Sen) to sample crispy chicken saturated in plum sauce, mapo tofu, Chinese fried rice and lime juice for lunch in George Town, Penang, Malaysia. Tek Sen, is a restaurant I've been wanting to try for several years. When I was in George Town, back in 2011, I tried searching for the restaurant on foot without any success. Luckily this time around, with a little help from Trip Advisor maps and an updated Lonely Planet guide, we were able to spot this gem of an eatery that is massively popular with locals.

On the menu, which was rather extensive, specialty dishes were highlighted with a little star next to them. One of the dishes most highly recommended in reviews, and with a star in the menu, was the crispy chicken with plum sauce. Another one of my personal favorite Chinese dishes (and one Audrey had yet to sample) was Mapo Tofu, considered one of the house specialties as well. We needed rice or noodles to go with these two dishes so we selected Chinese style fried rice. Given that it was such a hot and humid day (honestly, when is it ever not in George Town) we also ordered some refreshing lime juice drinks to help was down our meal.

When our dishes finally arrived I was a little bit surprised that the portions weren't larger. I've come to expect big sized dishes from my previous experiences eating Chinese food in Canada and abroad; however, what was lacking in size was certainly recovered in terms of quality. First we tried the Mapo Tofu (a Chinese dish from Sichuan region with a tofu base situated in a bean based sauce garnished with chili) and it compared favorably to other times I've tried it elsewhere. Next up was the crispy chicken drowning in plum sauce. I have to admit, this was by far my favorite (also Audrey's favorite). The chicken strips just melted in our mouths and the sweet plum sauce with a hint of chili really added an explosion of flavor. The fried rice, although quite standard, was a nice compliment to our two main dishes. The lime juice, served in a generous sized mug, really helped keep us cool during the meal.

Overall, the meal was fantastic (and considering I'm on a diet) the portion sizes were just right. We left feeling satisfied but not stuffed. For those interested in visiting this restaurant it's just off of Chulia street nearby the Chinatown district of George Town.

The meal was an affordable 33 Ringgits (roughly $11 USD) which we thought was great value for three dishes, two drinks and a water. This restaurant ranks as one of favorites in Penang and we highly recommend you check it out for yourself:

Tek Sen, adalah sebuah restoran Saya telah mahu untuk mencuba selama beberapa tahun. Apabila saya berada di George Town, kembali pada tahun 2011, saya cuba mencari restoran di kaki tanpa apa-apa kejayaan. Nasib baik kali ini, dengan sedikit bantuan dari peta Penasihat lawatan dan panduan Lonely Planet dikemas kini, kita dapat melihat permata ini mengenai sebuah premis makanan yang secara besar-besaran popular dengan penduduk tempatan.

Pada menu, yang agak luas, hidangan istimewa telah diketengahkan dengan bintang kecil di sebelah mereka. Salah satu hidangan yang paling sangat disyorkan dalam ulasan, dan dengan bintang dalam menu, adalah ayam rangup dengan sos plum. Satu lagi salah satu hidangan kegemaran peribadi saya Cina (dan satu Audrey belum sampel) Mapo Tauhu, yang dianggap sebagai salah satu keistimewaan rumah juga. Kami memerlukan nasi atau mi untuk pergi dengan kedua-dua hidangan supaya kita dipilih gaya Cina nasi goreng. Memandangkan ia adalah seperti hari yang panas dan lembap (jujur, bilakah ia pernah tidak di George Town), kita juga mengarahkan beberapa minuman jus menyegarkan limau untuk membantu turun makan kita.
