Oh, how we miss Penang food! Finding authentic Penang food in Singapore is a never-ending quest, and we managed to come by one in Clementi West, just around the corner from the Vietnam Pho we previously visited. Island Penang Kitchen is quite well-known among locals, so we had to try the three most iconic Penang dishes which so love and crave for whenever we visit the "Pearl of the Orient".

| Now, where is this corner in Georgetown? (See below!) |
The ambience is simple, with Penang street scenes decorating the wall and of course Ernest Zaharevic's famous mural of two kids on a bicycle. You simple cannot miss that now iconic Armenian Street vista. Of course, this is Singapore and you get Singapore prices, not in Ringgit Malaysia. Whatever it is, this place does satisfy the palate yearning for Penang taste, and the photos look as delicious as reality. Good news is that CDC vouchers are accepted for payment, which means we can come back several more times this year.
