Tho Yuen Restaurant (桃園茶樓)

Tho Yuen Restaurant (桃園茶樓) is one of the surviving old restaurants that have been operating in Penang for over 80 years! Restaurants and shops like this is diminishing day by day following rapid urbanization and expansion of the city. Fortunately with George Town being enlisted by UNESCO as world heritage site, many traditional shops like this now have gleam of hope to survive in an intense competitive environment today.

One thing that ensures Tho Yuen’s success is undoubtedly the food they serve. To run a restaurant successfully in Penang is no mean feat as Penangites are spoilt for choices when it comes to food. There are just foods everywhere day and night! Tho Yuen Restaurant (桃園茶樓) specializes in Dim Sum and Cantonese cuisine and they have extensive menu for you to choose from. However, I’m going to share a few dishes that I will order whenever I visit this place.

Fish Ball Soup

Fried Crispy Noodle 炒生麵 with seafood, pork and chicken

Fried Hor Fun and Rice Vermicelli or 番薯: its nickname

Besides delicious Dim Sum and the dishes that I shared above, Tho Yuen Restaurant also serves good Hainanese Chicken Rise. The roast chicken thigh and drumstick is my personal favourite.
