Little Penang Kafé - KLCC

I was in KLCC last Saturday for some shopping. When I was about to go home after shopping ,it was almost dinner time. I was thinking what to eat for dinner when I came across this Penang Cafe. It was a long time since I ate Penang Nyonya food. I had a sort of craving for Penang food. So I glanced at the menu on the display board placed outside the cafe. So many types of tantalizing Nyonya food. Quite difficult to choose. Finally I ordered a pax of char koay teow, a pax of Siamese lemak laksa n one set of acar fish set . The latter is always my favorite dish. While they were preparing my take away, I sat down n saw many diners of all races enjoying the food they had ordered. The place was cozy n the ambience was good. This is a good place for family n friends to gather for a hearty meal. Would recommend this place to my relatives n friends. I went home n shared the food with my family. Everybody enjoyed the meal.

I had asam laksa and it didn’t disappoint. The soup was flavorful with the ingredients and the portion of the noodles was decent given the price. I couldn’t finish it though as I wasn’t hungry enough to finish it all. My mum and sis and char kuey teow and they liked it. It tasted as good as it looked. It was flavorsome and the portion was generous. We had red ruby chestnut as dessert too and I liked how refreshing it tasted and not overly sweet.

2025.1.28 We lived in the vicinity with our local friends and they highly recommended this eatery (over Mdm Kwan’s). It’s sooooooo good. Masala Tea : best ever. Full of spices ans so fragrant Fruit rojak: excellent Penang prawn Mee: very authentic and flavourful Chicken Lorbak: fresh and crunchy Signature stuffed crab: yummy but not sure if Penang actually have such stuffed crab with cheese! Love the traditional decor. Service is fast. Come early. The entire place gets filled by 11:30am … on a weekday ! Unbelievable. Our total “damage” was RM110.45. This is a good Penang fix if you are in KL and not heading up there. Come to think of it, it’s darn good for halal food! I would come back here again.

Was quite busy on a Saturday night; food was very good; we had Balachqn Fried Chicken was was very tasty; Char Quay Teoh was good too; I asked for non seafood version and they said “yes”, but brought me chicken satay 🤷🏽‍♂️

Came back for their Kerabu Pucuk and Pie Tee . Taste good but serving too small. Tried their Jawa Mee. It was not up to expectations Ju Hu Char is also not as good Fruits rojak was the worse , tasteless and fruits too riped Price on a high side, but for the location, we expect to pay more.

Delicious chinese mix nyonya cuisine in an old timer design restaurant. It's has been a while since I last ate at Little Penang Cafe. The taste still remains the same, delicious as always, but the price changes a lot. People are still queueing like before. I love their signature cha kuew tiow and prawn meehoon. A must try! Good job to the owner and the team.

Thought we’d try this place after seeing the decent reviews and menu on Google maps. We both had Nasi Lemak Fried Chicken Penang. For us, as Europeans, we found it dry with the accompanying sauce. The Chicken was decent and it certainly represented value for money. Cleanliness was good with handwashing observed, but 2or 3 of the staff wore their masks below the nose and one had his mask under his chin.

Coming during dinner time, the restaurant is quite packed at that time. Intrigued to try their food after accidentally saw their ad which tells about a chef who had worked with them for a long time, who is also expert in cooking Penang Char Koay Teow. After we tried it, actually it was a very bland char koay teow. Barely can taste something on it, sadly. We are not sure whether it is just us which is unlucky at that time, or the authentic Penang Char Koay Teow is really that way. We also tried their Kari Hantu set, which I think is not bad, especially because it comes with Lorbak which taste really good. Service was okay, meals are served within 15minutes after order is placed. But overall I am quite dissapointed with the char koay teow, and still curious, how does the Penang Char Koay Teow really taste.

My mom and I were walking around Suria KLCC and came across Little Penang Cafe while browsing the 4th level. It was our first day in KL, so we were looking for some traditional Malaysian food. Little Penang Cafe appeared to provide just that. The place was packed around noon during a Monday. Not sure if that was a normal thing or if the national holiday brought in more guests than usual. Regardless, we were able to get seated right away. Little Penang Cafe was not the type of restaurant you'd want to hang around for hours. You sit in for a meal and then head on your merry way when finished. The customer service, as a result, was more transactional than anything else because of the quick customer turnaround. Also our food came out really fast. We waited up to 5 min for our food to be served. My mom ordered the Assam Laksa. This appeared to be a very traditional Malaysian noodle soup dish, and posters around the restaurant claimed that it was voted the best at Little Penang Cafe. Personally I didn't care much for it at all. It was way too sour and fishy for my liking. I had the Penang Hokkien Prawn Mee. I liked the broth of my soup way better than the Assam Laksa. It was slightly fishy, but it had a tomato base and more peppery taste. The fried garlic in the soup was a nice touch. I did think that the soup skimped on the prawns. I got 2 tiny shrimp in the entire dish.

Whoa! My prawn mee (noodle) soup was delicious! I was craving for this noodle soup for months! Penang is an island up north located in East Malaysia. The cafe is trying to bring the Penang taste to customers in this KL region or to the tourists. I loved my prawn noodle soup and I finished the entire plate, no leftover! My sister ordered an appetizer salad roll. The cut up rolls tasted like pasembur (Malaysian salad). We also had cendol, a Malaysian ice sweet dessert consists of coconut milk, rice flour jelly and palm sugar. This is hard to explain but the taste was really good! We were served by some great staff too, polite and friendly. After all that we continued walking around the complex. Next we decided to head down to KLCC Park and for me to continue taking more pictures.

Food here is fairly good. It's a little pricier than many of the other places, but it's in a nice air conditioned mall. The laksa was really interesting and different to other laksas that I've had. It hard a fairly strong fish taste. Char kuey teow was really good. The noodles were tasty as was the seafood. Note we did pay a surcharge for extra seafood but there wasn't a lot at all. Nasi lemak was ok. The coconut was extremely good. At 8rng, it was more expensive than other places. But it was really sweet. Accept credit card over 30.

Excellent food. Been here several times over the years but tonight they had Siamese Lemak Laksa on the menu. Had to give it a try. Wow!! I've had similar laksa up north near Alor Setar. But this is the best I've had.

This is a nice, open restaurant on Suria KLCC's upper floor, off the central area. The menu is a decent size, and the prices are good, with most entrees around the RM15 mark. The food was pretty good -- definitely rich with flavor. The tables are a little close together, so be prepared to have every conversation clearly heard by the neighbors. The service was the one area that left a lot to be desired. It was very slow, despite the large number of staff and relatively few diners when I was there. Even waving down waiters took numerous attempts.

I've always enjoyed the food at Little Penang but have one big issue that upsets me. It's the black vein of the prawns that they never remove. When you bite into the prawn you get that horrible flavor and it's also sandy. It's the prawn shit. Please please do devein the prawns. Thank you.
