Souper Tang Restaurant — Restaurant in George Town

I recently had the pleasure of trying some Chinese food from a local restaurant and I must say, it was absolutely delicious!

The first thing that struck me was the authentic flavors. Each dish had its unique taste that was reminiscent of the traditional Chinese cuisine. The sweet and sour chicken had a perfect balance of tanginess and sweetness, and the General Tso's chicken had just the right amount of spice. The variety of flavors in the dishes was impressive, showcasing the rich and diverse culinary culture of China.

Another aspect that impressed me was the quality of the ingredients used. The vegetables were fresh and crisp, and the meat was tender and flavorful. It was evident that great care had been taken in selecting the ingredients, resulting in high-quality dishes.

The presentation of the food was also visually appealing. Each dish was beautifully arranged and garnished, adding to the overall dining experience. The attention to detail was commendable, as it demonstrated the restaurant's dedication to providing not only great-tasting food but also an aesthetically pleasing dining experience.

The portion sizes were generous, making it a great value for money. The dishes were abundant, ensuring that we left the restaurant feeling satisfied and content. The prices were reasonable, considering the quality and quantity of the food.

The service at the restaurant was friendly and prompt. The staff was attentive, catering to our needs and making sure we were enjoying our meal. They were knowledgeable about the menu and able to provide recommendations, which added to the overall dining experience.

Overall, I highly recommend trying the Chinese food from this restaurant. The authentic flavors, quality ingredients, pleasing presentation, generous portions, and excellent service make it a standout choice for anyone craving delicious...

It was a letdown. Which is a shame. Because the place is designed beautifully. Spacious with good amount of distance in between the tables. Comfortable seating. Pleasant to the eye colour theme of the decor. Nice sturdy menu that's easy to navigate.

However, it's the food that made the experience go downhill. Wasn't sure if the chef was having a bad day, I ordered the wrong food or it was the chef's day off. Let's start with the soup. Very lightly flavoured. Flavour combination unexciting. Aroma unenticing. Also came not boiling hot.

The dishes came one after the other fairly quick except the last dish. The only dish I enjoyed was the stone pot steamed rice with pork. Now that had a great aroma with well balanced delicious flavours. The others were average at best. These 4 dishes look about the same colour wise. The lack of colour differences made it visually look as if I was eating the same dishes. Of course you could say that we ordered the wrong dishes but the hallmark of a good restaurant is the ability to suggest a good combination dish or to correct a wrong combination dish. We should have been advised about it but wasn't. But most importantly they don't look like the pictures in the menu. I know that illustration is just a guide but the discrepancy is notable here.

Stir fried pork belly was quite generous tbh, the meat was succulent but I couldn't really feel the pu er taste advertised in the dish's name. The rest, meat roll, sautéed barramundi, sautéed mushroom and soychip were pretty standard and really nothing to shout about. You can give them a miss and order the other myriad of dishes they have on their menu.

In short, nice decor and environment but food unfortunately...

my family of 5 visited during the third day of cny. the food was pretty good, slightly oily and tad bit bland but always room for improvement. service on the other hand was average to bad. i understand that it is the festive season and some staff are also chinese, but we were all treated with bad customer service and staff answered our enquiries matter-of-factly, as if we were stupid. i did feel quite offended by their service, we requested for our plates to be cleared and we had a bad judgemental attitude in return. once again, it is understandable that it is the festive season right now but we didn’t come during the peak hour and it wasn’t even a full house. staff dragged their feet when they walked and was rather slow-paced, i couldn’t imagine when it was a full house and they remained this sort of service. not sure if they didn’t notice either but the bottom of our seats were full of crushed biscuits too, from a previous customer maybe.

update: can’t believe that service tax and charge came up to rm80! we had to refill hot water for teas ourselves, we ordered a JUG of lemonade and staff gave us an empty jug (misheard?). the lemonade never arrived in the end. they even raised their voices when we requested for some of the dishes for takeaway. i was very disappointed already but the outrageous tax was too much. would...
