Indian Mee Goreng In Penang Village
Ok. I am not a super cook. I am just a pretty, good one. I eat out sometimes too. In my recent search for spicy food, I was introduced to Penang Village - Malaysian Food.
Picture above shows Indian Mee Goreng - an Indian style stir fried egg noodle with tofu, potato, shrimp, chicken, calamari, egg and bean sprouts added with shrimp sauce.
This tasted very much like the Mee Goreng from Punggol Choon Seng Seafood Restaurant in Singapore. Very authentic, spicy and tasty.
I think I can live in the Bay Area for the long term, provided my favorite restaurants stay open. I say this because one of my favorite sushi restaurants (they serve large pieces of salmon and unagi) had a change in management. The new management is renovating the restaurant now and I won’t be surprised if they increase their menu prices.
Then there was this Chinese restaurant which served Peking Duck with the egg wrapper, not the bun. They closed down and the new Chinese restaurant took Peking Duck off their menu. Grrrr…
And yet another tragedy happened to another Chinese restaurant which sold roasted duck and soy sauce chicken. At their door is a sign saying they have sewage problems and they are currently fixing it. Come on! It has been almost a year!
So, Penang Village, please stay open!
I like your food, is that a bad omen?
I don’t know, cos the rest of my favorites…
They closed down, and left me in the lurch.
Penang Village oh Penang Village!
I like your website’s Hotpot Curry Beef Image.
Please wait for me to go there again,
Don’t make me crave for you in vain!
Bite This!

It’s OK you’re not a super good cook like me. Heehee. We use to go to restaurants…before we had kids. It’s not bad with just one kid, but it’s really hard to eat and enjoy yourself with 3 kids.

Do you like it, do you like it ? Oh man, hope they stay open till I try all the dishes I want to!! They lose to that “kite” place in terms of location, and marketing. What 2 Chinese restaurants are these ?

Tigerfish: The Peking Duck restaurant has closed down, the soy sauce chicken one has sewage problems… what else would you like to know about the two Chinese restaurants I mentioned?!?!?

Wanted to know the names(though I know they’ve closed down), just in case some “clones” or a new store of the same name pop out somewhere :) heeeheeee…

Sorry Dudette, I got no idea. But if you want Peking Duck, there is an upscale Chinese restaurant called Tai Pan, located in Palo Alto. Their Peking Duck is quite nice, just that they serve it with the pao skin rather than the egg wrapper.
