Gurney Delight | Kuchai Lama — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

First time here, excited to try the food as it says “Gurney Delight / Penang delight” , just nice wish to crave some Penang food

Ordered Penang must eat “ Cha kuay Teow”, Very salty and dry, the side dish such as “fish cake, lap cheong, sprouts(Taugeh) are too much, kuay teow only small portion , I would say 1/3 is kuay teow while 2/3 is the side dish. Out of 10, this dish I would only rate 3.5/10

Nasi Lemak Curry Rendang Rice is soggy wet, all rice sticky to the spoon. no anchovies which I think a bit out of expectation, curry chicken actually taste not bad and acceptable , just the chicken thigh a bit hard, feels overcooked or overnight, but taste is ok Rate - 4.5/10

Ice Lemon Tea The most disappointed drink. Tea got No tea taste, lemon got no lemon taste, the whole drink is like normal ice water with coloring.

The whole experience is not so bad because of the environment is quite ok. Price wise is acceptable. Service wise is...

The review here is overrated.

A true Penang CKT will not put fish cake, the ingredients seemed to be cooked separately then put together as a dish. Very sad amount of leeks and taugeh, there is no freshness in the dish. Generous amount of lapcheong but it didnt blend well together. There’s sand in the overcooked cockles too.

As for the white curry mee, the soup is just tasteless, if it’s not because of the BURNT BITTER chilli paste, it will be even worse. The prawn was just petty, the size of 1cm from frozen packages.

Please improve the quality of your food before you market it as Penang food. It is a disgrace towards Penang.

Drop by for a quick lunch while waiting for the nearby hardware shop to reopen after lunch. Surprisingly good fried rice. Fried rice was not oily, not too dry, quite delicious with almost the right texture. Skillful chef, I'd say. Hailam Cha (mixed of milk tea and coffee) was quite good too.

Place was not too crowded for lunch on this particular Monday. Lucky for me. Place was neat and clean, a woman's touch was at work I think.

For this MCO period, they would be closed on Sunday. They shall do business again on Sunday once the church next door is allowed to reopen.

Oh yes, reasonably priced too.

Definitely...
