“ Located at a not too obvious location for a restaurant, but apparently it is well known for its food, by word of mouth. The char kway teow is just great, very filling and good comfort food. Other dishes are fried chicken with chili isa just tasty and bean sprout with dried salty fish. ”
“ we were looking for comfort food, and end up at Penang Restaurang Muara Karang. could not remember when was the last time we ate here. we ordered Yong Tofu Curry and very surprise to find out that the real food they served looks much better compare to the picture on the menu ”
“ Decent Penang food in North Jakarta. The Kwe Teow Goreng was good and the portion was big, it tasted naturally sweet from the fresh ingredients, wasn't too salty nor greasy. The Prawn Noodles contains coconut milk, which I don't prefer usually, but this one didn't taste overwhelming. The noodles amount were not as big as I thought, though. The Roti Canai Kuah Kari was okay, a little bit greasy but still tasted decent. ”
“ I haven't been here for like years. Suddenly I feel like I need to go there cause I missed the restaurant, and the experiences was (nearly) flawless I must say, all of my order was blazing fast (like 7 minutes) And taste was amazing. Here's the breakdown of the food rating Best was the Satay I must say, as a restaurant type of satay, this is one of the most delicious I ever had. Well seasoned and very tender The Mie udang penang was decent in terms of taste, but the shrimp wow, they are very generous, fluffy and fresh Next was the nasi ayam panggang hainam. The chicken was tender and seasoned the hainam rice was delicious. No complain However the nasi goreng kepiting was "meh" at best. There was nothing to brag, but nothing was wrong. The worst food was udang goreng mayonnaise. It's not because of the shrimp. The shrimp was great. But the mayo and seasoning was.. Weird for my taste, probably the first time that my kid didn't really dig eating the shrimp mayo The roti tissue was notbad, but took quite a long time to make, probably almost 30 minutes. I recommend people to order earlier during dining and not when finish eating. ”
