Red Chopstick

Know that huge, long building, i-avenue?

Red Chopstick1-1-5, i-avenue, Jalan Tun Dr. Awang, 11900 Bayan Lepas, Penang.

If you can't locate it with the address, look for something that looks like this :

Serves : Local, Chinese, Baba/Nyonya

I rate : 7 out of 10

I ordered their Tomato Fried Rice with Vegetable Po Piah (TR4) : RM8.90++ and my favourite dessert Peanut Tang Yuen in Ginger Soup (TYG2) : RM3.70++.

The tomato rice is fried till perfection with chopped salted duck eggs and herbs, spices in it. The po piah, on the other hand is fried and stuffed with bangkuangs, sengkuangs and carrot, all sliced. But it tasted a bit bland and raw, the vege po piah didn't come with any sauce at all.

The peanut tang yuen sounds a bit weird, doesn't it? They're actually huge, peanut stuffed tang yuens in ginger soup just like the normal seasonal tang yuen the Chinese usually eat. The price is quite reasonable, though. Three tang yuens in a bowl for around RM3.50. And it is so good! Yum... writing about it makes me even crave for it now.

For those who haven't tried Red Chopstick before : go go go! Just order anything that looks good on the menu.

For those who have gone to Red Chopstick but have never tried the TR4 or TYG2 : go try it the next time.

For those who have tried the TR4 or TYG2, you should try their Mo Mo Cha Cha. I'm not sure what it's coded as, though. My friend tried it and she highly recommends it. It looks good, anyway. :)

oh, and they actually make you use red chopsticks, hence the name of the place.
