" Penang Malaysian Cuisine is a delightful surprise!! I had the Hainanese Chicken Rice, and it hit the spot. The chicken was perfectly steamed, super tender, and the accompanying chili sauce was fantastic. While the food was amazing, I felt the service could be faster. The restaurant had a nice tropical atmosphere that added to the experience. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to lovers of Malaysian flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Penang Malaysian Cuisine is a treasure! I ordered the mixed vegetable belacan and it was deliciously authentic. The environment was quaint; just perfect for a casual dinner. Service was on the slower side, but I believe it was due to the crowd. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for true Malaysian fare! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time dining at Penang, and I must say that the food was fantastic! The dishes truly reflected authentic Malaysian cuisine. I had the roti telur and it was served warm and full of flavor! The ambiance was pleasant, though the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed during peak hours. Overall, a lovely experience and I would love to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful place for Malaysian food! The Roti Canai we had was soft and paired perfectly with the curry. I had the seafood chow fun, and it was simply delectable! The restaurant had a warm feel to it, though the staff were a bit slow. I do recommend trying the Mango Shrimp for a refreshing change! Overall, a solid dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things about Penang Malaysian Cuisine, I decided to try it for myself. The flavors were simply superb! I had the Nasi Lemak and the chicken was crispy on the outside and tender inside. The sambal was the right amount of spicy for me. The ambiance was welcoming, and the staff were friendly, though they seemed a bit overwhelmed on a Saturday evening. Nonetheless, I would definitely return to explore more of the menu!

" I was excited to dine here after hearing about its authenticity, and it lived up to expectations! The flavors of the curry laksa were rich and vibrant, truly homely! The service was a bit slow, but it was worth the wait. We also tried the Roti Canai, which was flaky and delicious! The decor of the restaurant was a bit simple but cozy nonetheless. I plan to come back to explore their menu further. " (*Curated Review*)

" My wife and I tried Penang Malaysian for the first time after hearing rave reviews about their Hainanese Chicken Rice. I must say, it did not disappoint! The chicken was perfectly cooked and the chili sauce added just the right kick. The service was friendly, but we had to wait a little longer than expected for our food. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a great date night spot. We can't wait to go back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
