Fu Er Dai 富二代

On my first day in Penang, I came straight to Fu Er Dai for a meal. The restaurant was full of customers, and every dish I tried was delicious. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. Before flying home, I even came back a second time to buy some food to take away — that’s how much I liked it! I especially loved their salted egg yolk custard — super tasty and addictive!

Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Fu Er Dai is a dimsum restaurant which opens early in the morning at 6.30 and closes at 14.00, Monday to Sunday. It provides a good breakfast option for early risers. The crowd during weekdays in the morning was good. We were the first person there and only a few tables were occupied while we were there. Get your table, order your drink/tea, and get your own dimsum at the counter. It has good varieties to choose from. There are also bapau, fried options, and you can order cooked food like kuetiaw etc from the menu. Recommendation: salted egg pau. Warning: it drips when you bite. There are plenty of parking outside and it can get crowded during busy hours. The dimsums were delicious, good tea (we chose Chrysanthemum tea) with free refill (add tea/hot water), the staffs were friendly, sitting area was comfortable and cool although it only has natural ventilation (it was early but there were many big fans). The dimsum cost around 6.90-9.40, depends on the type. Tea is counted per person at 2.90. Total bill has 6% tax added.

Went during lunch time 12pm and the crowd was manageable. There was a queue, but it moved relatively quickly. Dim sum was amazing! You could pick and choose alacarte. Though I would recommend to skip the hor fun. Just go for the dim sums and you’re good. Prices are not exactly cheap, but reasonable for some items.

Tried this popular dim sum place after hearing many good reviews, but it didn’t quite live up to expectations. The dim sum variety was decent, but most dishes were average in taste — only the char siew pau was worth mentioning. It gets very busy on weekend mornings, so do come early, preferably before 9am, to get a table. There are separate counters for steamed and fried dim sum, and you can also order fried noodles or beehoon from the staff. Overall, an okay experience, but the food quality could definitely be improved.

The name of the restaurant and dim sum didn't quite sync. Nonetheless, saw the number of good reviews and decided to try. There was a queue when we arrived. Fortunately, the queue moved quite fast and we got our table after a 20 mins wait. You then place your order for drinks and the fried carrot cake or fried noodles (the fried noodles were great). You can proceed to the dim sum counter with the order card that they gave. Simply inform the staff what you want, pick up your orders and pass them the card for recording. That's it! The food was generally pretty good. And try their iced white coffee too!!

This is definitely one of the best dim sum spots in Penang! You can tell how popular it is from the crowd — both locals and tourists love it. The dim sum here is made with quality ingredients and comes in generous portions. Highly recommended!

Good place for breakfast, nice environment but slightly hot with ventilation fan only. My wife and I been there for breakfast and the dim sum is average and slightly expensive. There are lots of staff but not much to serve you. You have to queue to order and take your own dim sum. Unless you order special made or fried item, If not, you will take some time only you can start to eat. Average experience. *Tips - Go there early to avoid long queue of people during peak hour.

I was so shocked that there's have employees who's fluent in Thai! (Probably Thai person lol) Foods so great! They gave advice about drinks, teas and more for your decision. Taste so good, queue were called with Chinese language though. (But in rest area, there were have a screen to show a current queue) Recommended! I like Dim sum the most. Well, with seafood, there's no fishy smells (my bf so sensitive on the smelly things and he didn't budge!).
