Tho Yuen 桃園茶樓

If you want to try their dim sum you need to come much much earlier, probably before 9am since they open at 6am. I came at 1pm and there's not a morsel of dim sum left. Haha. If you have choice, try to order from a local waitress. We ordered from a non local waitress and she couldn't fully understand us and got our orders wrong. I asked for crab fried rice but she didn't understand me. Pointed at the menu and gave me their standard fried rice. It's delicious, don't get me wrong, just that it wasn't what I wanted to order, which was a bummer. However that doesn't detract from the fact that this was an incredible fried rice. Oily, yet not swimming in it. Rice wasn't clumped. Individual rice pieces well coated with flavour and oil. I am sure it would've been better if it was the crab version which I wanted. The prawn crispy noodle and the stir fried noodle vermicelli both came piping hot. With different base taste which was good to have as you can order both without worrying that they taste the same. The fact that they come with fresh ingredients was a happy bonus. Sadly I found the fish (grouper) tough. The ginger and green onion gave the dish a refreshing taste. If only the meat was less tough, it would've been perfect. In general I enjoyed the meal especially in a nostalgic environment that you don't find much anymore. Just a few blips that need ironing out.

Old place which is famous for dim sum and Cantonese cuisine. Has been able to maintain a bit of its old world charm despite some upgrades. Went with a local friend who loves the place. We liked most of the food. Some of the dim sum was outstanding, others not so much. Service was sketchy and the whole place had the ambience of a busy market. Some of it caused by really loud groups that frequent the place. This old institution has received the Michelin Bib Gourmand mention and some of the dishes showed us why. For my wife and me it was good, not great.... the lack of consistency can be a bummer.

Went before 8:30AM and plenty of seats. Popular with both locals and tourists. Carrot cake is good. Rest are okay. Order dimsum from push cart. Love the old house atmosphere.

Got to know this place from FB. Came here to try. Order few dim sum, char siew pao and ying yang kuey teow noodles. The noodles is good. Dim sum are more like local taste if compare with KL, no sweet source available.

This dim sum place is old. Actually tried to eat nearby at another dim sum shop but it was so crowded and decided to eat here 😅 Not all selections are good though. Avoid the egg tarts. Trust me. The ang tho mee is quite good but the black vinegar is not up to standard making the whole thing taste so so ordinary sadly. This will inspire me to cook it myself 😅. On the whole, I would give it 3.5 stars but I don't have that option so it has to be 4 stars. Parking wise I came by bike so no issues there. If you use a car, let's hope you're lucky to find parking. My advice is better take Grab unless you keep winning the lottery 😁

Food. Taste wise were good. Although some of it I expect to be served hot, but I had 1 dish that was not hot. For drink I ordered pu er tea. Was good but honestly I expect more. Overall I would say the food taste OK and enjoyable. Service. Good and attentive. Staffs were smiling and friendly. They mingled around with the food cart. You can choose which menu you would like to try. A traditional way but to me this is what makes it felt special. Price. Reasonable. Place. Clean tables. Parking. Can be a challenge. Located at a busy area. You would park at roadside, then might take a walk to this place.

One of the best options if want to have breakfast in Penang Island. Their ‘fried fan shu’ has very good wok hei, king prawn fried cripsy noodles has special sauce which is tempting. Dim sum is good enough. Very comfortable eating space.

Traditional mooncake wooden molds were put as decorative items on the stair wall. I returned for the fried noodle and wantan mee. Small portion of their fried noodle is enough for one person and there are many varieties of dim sum from the kitchen which are always above standard.
