Penang cuisine restaurant

I don't usually visit the restaurants in my neighbourhood... no particular reason for this but having passed by this small restaurant the other day, I thought I'd give it a go.  The restaurant is "tucked" away in a corner, under some stairs in Rawson Street and below the residential block.  I went there after church one Sunday and it appears that this is also a regular haunt for a few of the church members.

The menu is quite varied.  This is a family owned business, the chef (father) hails from Bukit Mertajam and is assisted by his daughter.  This is only a small restaurant and could comfortably sit about 20 people.

Nasi Lemak

There is a "special" during the weekends and it rotates each weekend.  This weekend, the special was Nasi Lemak which we decided to order. 

I must say the nasi lemak lacked a bit of oomphh... and the sambal prawns was just "so-so". The dish itself was not quite "hot" temperature wise - I thought the rice was a bit lukewarm.  The chicken curry itself lacked a bit of body and the kick.

I then ordered the Wa Tan Hor - which looked appetising but sad to say, it was not very tasty.  I think I'm not used to having "corn" in my Wa Tan Hor...

I think there are other restaurants which tasted better in the vicinity and for the portions I think this place is a bit on the pricey side in terms of value for money.
