Last nite I was digging my photo album, knowing that I'm running out of food reviews, haha...luckily I still have a few food pix taken from this Little Penang Kafe.
So...two weeks ago we were at KLCC, for the Isetan Grand Sale of course (thats why 'mo-mo' money lor). Gotta admit that I feel a tad boring about KLCC's food, not many varieties to choose from unless you are willing to spend more on those over priced restaurants.
As usual, I had got to fix my craving for shaved ice dessert and so we settled at this Little Penang Kafe. Actually I think I'm getting pretty crazy over ice kacang, chendol and fruit 'loh' recently. Must control my sugar intake 0_o Aiyor...so many things to cut down...
Char siew bao went for a bowl of ice kacang (RM4.50). The aching sweetness of syrup and sarsi is contemplated but we luv the crunchy peanuts sprinkled on top which went so well with the shaved ice.
My bowl of Penang cendol (RM4.20) came with palm sugar, different from the usual Malaccan version which is drizzled with fragant gula melaka.
Still can't get enough of Penang specialties? You can have Penang Lobak, Penang otak-otak (huh?), Penang char kuey tiao or Penang curry nudles here. We chose to have a plate of Penang rojak (RM6.50) that came with sliced brown squids, mango, jambu, yambean, cucumber etc served with a generous amount of sticky gooey rojak sauce. This is triable, on par with Penang's authentic rojak buah.
And lastly, we must have rice! Char siew bao chose the most filling main in the menu--nasi lemak (RM9). The rice was good, flavourful and fluffy but the serving was stingy, with one small piece of curry fish, a dollop of sambal and 2 small prawns. Madam Kwan fares better in terms of serving.
The bill came up to Rm27, overall the food is not bad, a good place to fix your hankering for penang food.
LOCATION: 4th Floor of Suria KLCC.

I used to work opposite of KLCC and i also got your problem, waiting for salary at the end of everymonth cos can't resist the temptation to stop by Isetan every now and then for clothes. Now that I work in Plaza Mont' Kiara, i spent all money on food. Bad, really bad. Need to work in factory with lunch provided oledi. LOL!
When they first started in Mid Valley some years back it was havoc when people jump q to get in ! KLites then were stunned by the beauty of those Pg sexy delights. nowsadays well...
food was very good back then (@ mv branch) but not now anymore... :(
rojaaak nice~~ the rest er so so only
Tot palm sugar is gula melaka?
All ur cravings....must be because of the previous post on nyonya kuih lar...teehehehe
xiu long bao,
I never saw ice kacang topped with crunchy peanuts before! Wow! Seems very special to me. :)
Rest of the food there okay only wor...the rojak is probably one of the best thing to order from them.
precious pea:
haha...working nearby shopping centre is so dangerous. Luckily my working place is neither near shopping centre nor good eateries.
teambsg & meiyen:
Yahor, i recalled dat the food was better when it started @ mid valley, now they changed the menu?
poonky:

jian:
maybe i shud use the term 'brown sugar' ah?
jackson:

kok:
sarawak got no ice kacang meh? We dun often get ice kacang topped with kacang dat often. But the combination was gud!
wmw:
Didn't know that their rojak is dat gud till u guys commented. Lucky me!
Little Penang is still a posh place. Faster follow me go eat at hawker stalls!
tankiasu:
Goin later lar? U come fetch us ah?
xiu long bao,
Sarawak has ice kacang lah. But then, topped with peanuts, NONE! haha! I'll try to bring a packet of peanuts the next time I had ice kacang. :P
I love Little Penang - must have is the achar fish set as most places don't serve that type of fish and the lorbak. Had their Siamese Lemak Laksa last Sat at the Curve which was also good.
Since payday is just round the corner, what do u plan to spend it on? Lots more sales around so better keep eating hawker food.
yeah...food standard drop abit:(
btw, i read on mei yen's blog abt getting old at her age...all this while i thought mei yen were in her mid 30s...after reading her bio..omg, she'll only 25++? that's like still very young leh but looked really mature lor...better do something like facial etc cos she really looked like mid 30s *no offence* i'm much older but look and think much younger than she leh....kekkeke
