Malaysia Food Blog, Malaysia Travel Blog

As I read through my blog posts for 2008, I found most of them are restaurant related reviews. I think this is deviating from my original purpose of food blogging, which is to discover and promote local foods, especially hawker fares. If not, it wouldn't be fit to be called "Malaysia Food Blog" So, my main aim of blogging for year 2009 would be to continue to do what I actually enjoyed the most - to travel, discover and promote cheap and tasty food.

Tho Yuen Dim Sum Restaurant

Posted by: vkeong In: Dim Sum| Food and Drink| Penang () (29 views)

The last time I went to Tho Yuen Restaurant for Dim Sum, it was nearly lunch time and all the dim sum were sold out. Because of that we had to settle for their famed chicken rice instead. So this time we went there earlier and lucky for us there were still some dim sum left this time.

Siu-Mai

Besides selling chicken rice and dim sum, Tho Yuen also serves various noodles and porridge (which all look super nice too) Most of the patrons here are the elder generation, all chatting their mornings away while enjoying their favorite cup of tea. And I think Tho Yuen will never run out of tea either because there’s a tea leaves shop directly opposite lol. Talk about strategic location.


Polo-Bun

Pineapple bun (polo bun) on the left and lou pho peng (wintermelon biscuit) on the right. Both are very nice and the pineapple buns have purple yam paste as filling. Many other dim sum (that are left up for grabs) as follow, all are pretty good except the one with mixed vegetable..

Cabbage-Skin-Dim-Sum
Mixed-Vege-Dim-Sum
Fish-Ball-Dim-Sum
Lettuce-Dim-Sum

With all the dim sum we had and a pot of tea (thit kun yam) the total was RM16.20. For me it was reasonable and I’d definitely return earlier next time to try the noodles. Tho Yuen Restaurant is located along Campbell Street beside a big Rolex corner shop, you won’t miss it.
