Penang Village Malaysian Delights — Restaurant in East Victoria Park

Located in the heart of East Victoria Park, Penang Village Malaysian Delights is a culinary gem that attract diners who crave for authentic Malaysia foods. I came here for Sunday lunch, and I would like to share my thoughts on some of their signature dishes.

Nasi Lemak (4/5): Starting with the national dish of Malaysia, the Nasi Lemak at Penang Village is a delight for the senses. The fragrant coconut rice, served with a perfectly fried egg, sambal, crunchy peanuts, and crispy anchovies, is a symphony of flavours and textures. The curry chicken is tender with the right spiciness.

Special Telur Tofu (4.5/5): The Tofu Telur is a remarkable appetizer that combines the softness of tofu with the crispiness of the omelet. The savory peanut sauce drizzled generously over the top takes this dish to another level. It's a wonderful balance of flavours and textures, making it a standout dish on the menu.

Sambal Anchovies Fried Rice (4/5): If you're a fan of fried rice, Penang Village's Special Fried Rice with Sambal Anchovies won't disappoint. Packed with a variety of ingredients such as shrimp, fish cake, and squid. It is a hearty and satisfying choice. The rice is well-seasoned and cooked to perfection, the home-made sambal anchovies paste is unique and delicious.

Ice Kacang (4/5): You couldn't resist trying the Ice Kacang, a delightful shaved ice dessert topped with colourful sweet toppings, red beans and corns. Don't forget to enjoy the attap chee, the chewy jelly. The portion size is generous and good for sharing.

Teh Tarik (4/5): It was the perfect complement to the spicy and savory flavours of the meal. The aroma of the tea, sweetness of the milk is near to perfection.

In addition to the food, the service at Penang Village Malaysian Delights was friendly and attentive. The Malay lady waitress has very welcoming attitude who make your dining experience memorable.

In summary, Penang Village Malaysian Delights offers an authentic Malaysian dining experience in East Victoria Park. I will definitely be coming back to try other foods...

Small and authentic restaurant. All the dishes that I saw going to other tables looked delicious and my own were also delicious. Everything was cooked fresh and well seasoned. The food was hot, spiced and fragrant but no dish was overly spiced since the air inside the restaurant was pleasant. Restaurant was recommended and my first time, I ordered the kway teo, curry laksa, special telur tofu tower, golden floss prawn and due to miscommunication I thought I had ordered the kerabu barramundi but didn't. Everything was delicious and cooked well. Nothing was overly oily and I was super impressed with the kway teo since it didn't leave an oily residue on the plate or my mouth. It wasn't too saucy nor burnt but had that beautiful wok smell and flavour.. So delicious. The curry laksa broth was delicious too - creamy but not too much, just right. It was perfectly seasoned and fragrant. The best laksa I've had. I know it's the best because I could eat more than one without getting bored. Some places the broth is well seasoned but no creamy or creamy but too heavy and not smooth. This one was just perfect. I liked the tofu tower and the floss prawn too but I had eaten a lot so had packed some to take home. If you order these dish, you would need to order rice or something else since it doesn't come with it. I didn't because I needed to make room.

Only down side is that this restaurant is over 30 mins for me to drive to otherwise I would know their menu...

My recent experience with their staff was miserable. I am one of the regular customer of this restaurant i called them on Wednesday (2 days prior to my booking) to book a table for 15 people. They told me that they can reserve a table but for little earlier time which i said i dont have issue with that, then suddenly they come up with a new policy which i never heard in last 2 years that perhead of $25 will be charged. I mentioned i am happy to pay for adults but i have 3-4 children which include infants and toddlers do i need to pay for them as well, they mentioned its PER HEAD chargec age doesn’t matter. I was not happy with this and requested to talk to manager. Manager called me after an hour and when i explained this he said as you’re our regular customer we will not charge you with this per head for children. And mentioned i will confirm your booking in next 5 mins. Since then they did not call back. I called them 11 times on Wednesday and Thursday as well nobody is answering when i sent a text on Thursday to confirm my booking they replied we are fully booked. Thats a shame!! I tried calling again nobody answered. Thats how you treat with your regular customers? Poor...
