Hainan Western — Restaurant in George Town

Food: nothing extraordinary, just eat once to taste & try, wouldn't head out of the way kind. Saw many comments about the mushroom soup so avoided it. Grilled pork chop portion was big but meat taste stiff. Added 50cents for sweet tasting blackpepper gravy. Service: order food and drinks at counter, young man boss is not the most friendly kind, will just get your order and move along. Burmese waiters serving food will inform the food served but in heavy accent or in hokkien. Parking: very limited, around 5/6 bays next to the stall. Had to park down the lorong and walk a little. Environment: outdoor is spacious and cooling in the evening, have indoor seating too. Pricing: RM14 for the pork chop and 2+ for herbal tea Verdict: not the kind of stall to cater to foreigners/foodie/critics, but just to fill your tummy if you're in the neighbourhood. Please do not expect too much from them,...

So, nice thing about this place is that you get to sit by the roadside and inhale the smoke from the passing vehicles...lovely. oh but actually it's nice on a windy night. Foodwise, i had the chicken cacciatore. It was decent,but....but.....the fries.....why!!!!! And the bread.....half a slice of massimo,hi-5,mighty white bread....ahhh but it was sliced diagonally hence a beautiful isosceles triangle, instead of plain ole rectangle. The one thing this place has that might make me go again....the sauces,well the tomato and chili that is, are set on each table n not dispensed into miserable tiny saucers like most local western food eateries do. Used to love the food here, it's not too shabby, but the fries....the fries....and the bread....oh and the coleslaw....is it even coleslaw????? Just have the main n leave the rest. And no, no pictures for you. Go try...

Have been to this restaurant since I was a kid - at least 25 years. I missed the flavorful taste when I was young. The chefs changed in a period of time and the taste was disappointing.

Today, we approached another time, hoping for better results. The restaurant’s price is very affordable even many places have been increasing their prices.

The steak was fine, not really medium well as requested. But with the price we don’t expect 3,4,5 stars fine dining experience. The cafe de paris tasted quite good. Chicken Maryland tasted fine. Fish Cordon Bleu’s cheese was good and stringy enough. The mushroom soup was OK. Though we missed the thick fries and the garlic bread that we had in past.

With 2 steaks, 2 chickens, 1 fish, 2 mushroom soups and 2 drinks that feed 5 persons cost only RM109. I am sure this price is a good deal for...
