Penang Street

 If you are ever in NUH to visit relatives or friends, you won't have to worry about having nothing to eat. Besides being a world-class hospital and medical centre, the National University Hospital also features many food options such as a big Kopitiam at the ground floor of the inpatient wards. The opening of the Kent Ridge Station on the Circle Line exposed the basement of the National University Hospital Medical Centre where many tantalizing treats await.

 
Today I would like to introduce you to Penang Street, a restaurant that specialises in Penang cuisine.
 

The restaurant is decorated in traditional Peranakan tiles. Even the cutleries are held in old-school cutlery holders.
 
 

 

 

 

The menu features signature Penang dishes such as Assam Laksa and Penang Char Koay Teow, hawker fare such as Chicken/Beef/Mutton Satay and Curry Noodle and desserts such as Penang Cendol and Sago Gula Melaka.

 

 
I wanted something to nibble on while waiting for my main course so I ordered Honey Chicken Wing. It tastes surprisingly similar to Saigon Baguette's Chicken Wings where marinated chicken wings are deep fried and served with a coating of honey glaze.
 
 
 
Penang Char Koay Teow is one of the most iconic dish of Penang cuisine and it also happens to be one of the restaurant's Top 6 Signature Dish. Unlike the Hokkien char kway teow commonly found in Singapore which is cooked with sweet soya sauce, Penang Char Koay Teow is cooked without the sweet soya sauce but the ingredients of eggs, bean sprouts, sliced fish cake, prawns and fresh clams are basically the same. I personally prefer the Penang Char Koay Teow because it is lighter on the palate.

 

 
Penang Cendol is one of the most iconic dessert in Penang cuisine. Shaved ice is sweetened with gula melaka (palm sugar) and coconut milk, served with green pandan-flavored jelly, black jelly and red kidney beans. Sweet, cold and creamy, it is loved by people residing in topical countries such as Singapore and Malaysia.

Penang Street is halal-certified so Muslims can enjoy the food with peace of mind. Although GST and service charge is charged here, the reasonable prices makes it affordable for all.

Addresses, telephone numbers and opening hours of all 3 outlets can be found here.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
