They renovated the old Penang and renamed it to Pasar Malam. The new owner did a good job with the renovation. The interior atmosphere and decor is way better than the old Penang. The food and service is also much better! We had delicious Roti Telur for appetizer, Thai Basil Noodle (Pad Kee Mai) and Kari Mee with Redang Chicken for dinner. Every meal was very delicious! Will definitely come back for more!

The food here is so authentic and delicious! The staff are so kind and every dish was so good! I would highly recommend the plain roti prata with curry and the char kuay teow!

Pasar Malam means night market, and the menu is extensive, not limited only to fried noodles and rice (although these options are wonderful and what my family went for). They also have a great drinks menu with milk teas and fruity iced drinks, the flavors will be new and interesting if you are only used to Chinese/Taiwan franchises. They also have a good dessert selection with both hot and cold desserts. Portions are generous, the dining space is well-lit and spacious, the food is bursting with flavor as expected of these two cuisines. Their curry is especially wonderful, if you do not want a full bowl I recommend ordering roti telur or canai which is served with a small curry for dipping. Fried noodles were perfect, well-sauced but retaining chewy texture and with that distinctive smoky taste of good stir fry. Will be back here for sure when I am in the area!

We were there yesterday for Mother’s Day and are so glad we chose this place to celebrate! We came mainly for the cute kitten pudding and Thai tea shaved ice the kids saw on Instagram and wanted, but all the food turned out to be surprisingly good. Since it was Mother’s Day, we expected a long wait, but they managed everything really well! We were seated right away and received all our food in about 45 minutes. It was so cool that they have an open kitchen, and we were seated at one of the round tables, which gave us a great view how the food was prepared and served. If you are reading this, please make sure to try their Curry Jumbo Shrimp, it was probably the best curry we have ever had!

We last came to this location a few times when it was Penang. There new management, chef and menu and service standards are a lot different. Excellent menu, service and atmosphere. Try their Chicken Satay, Fried Egg Plant-Cilantro, Veg Fried Rice, Kari Sayur and Ginger Scallion Chicken. Loved it.

A nice and spacious place, perfect for gathering with family and enjoying delicious food. The interior is beautiful and cute. Our server was amazing, friendly, and helpful, and the food came out quickly. All the food was amazing, and I can say my favorites are the Golden Pork Chop, Black Pepper Beef, Kangkung Balacan, and Mango Shaved Ice
