Cari Makan @ Penang : Tho Yuen Restaurant
I managed to visit the so call nicest Chicken Rice in downtown Penang according to one of the PenangKia on my last two trip to Penang. We were discussing food in Penang during our last Blogger Gathering @ Yuen two weeks back... we came across this is a nice and old restaurant located @ Campbell Street. Anyone went to this restaurant before?

The restaurant not only selling chicken rice, they also sells dim sum... not sure it is one of the best or not ... I personally was not impressed with the dim sum. It's just okay only.
Siew Mai
Har Kow (Prawn Dumpling)
Traditional card system
How the traditional card system work? The dim sum order will be recorded in the card according to price... when you paid, the cashier will calculate base on how many plate that you have in that category. Some Dim Sum place still maintain this card system...
Hey guess what? My aunt told me they actually not very popular with their chicken rice and Dim Sum. Errrr... so, what actually they are famous for? hehehe... They are actually famous for their Char Tua Ban (Char Keow Teoy with the broader noodles). I'm yet to try out their popular dish...
Anyone tried their Char Tua Ban? Is it good?

The Chicken Meat looks delicious...taste not that great ah? Too bad. Trial and error. Today went to Ipoh Chicken Rice at Jln Gasing. The Kampung chicken meat looked very nice but sad to say also not up to expectation
The new owner Ah Keong used to be a leng chai who drove a Prelude. He must have pissed your aunt? LOL
