The restaurant has been in business for more than 10 years. The main attraction is the strong and rich curry sauce. Chicken lovers can ask for chicken to be added, and the meaty curry sauce blends well, making it very delicious.

The recently launched Fuhu Shengwei New Year Roasted Platter at Yuyuan is so attractive, every bite is a treat for your taste buds!! It’s all hard goods, a whole crispy roasted spring chicken, super large lamb chops, pork ribs, absolutely amazing.
Fried kueh teow and fried oysters are delicious, but the others are not recommended. The red bean ice has a weird taste. I don't know why it is so famous. I bought it after seeing the first love red bean ice, but I really can't get used to it. There are a lot of people, so you have to wait for a seat, but the turnover is fast.
Yuyuan Tea House Address: 475 Penang Road, George Town (near the famous Teochew Cendol at Penang Road) A time-honored shop in Penang. There are really many coffee shops and tea houses in Penang. People here like to go to tea houses The signature red bean Cendol is really good. A bowl is not expensive, only 3 yuan. The red beans in it are very sweet and soft. I love it. The brown sugar is super rich. You can tell that it is the kind that you make yourself. It tastes great after adding ice. I feel that after drinking a bowl, it not only relieves the heat, but also makes your words sweeter. Haha. Kee noodles are added with shrimps, bean sprouts, sweet sausages, and eggs. After frying, it feels like eating dry fried beef noodles. However, it is a combination of meat and vegetables, and there are not too many seasonings. It is actually quite refreshing. Oyster omelette actually tastes good in itself, but oysters are something that you will really get sick of if you eat two more bites in this way. The eggs are very tender. They are still tender even after being fried like this. This skill is also great. Overall, red bean desserts are highly recommended.
The famous Cendol is near this teahouse. The so-called teahouse is a hodgepodge. It is like a big canteen, with many stalls selling different things. What is amazing is that the store can find people who order food in the crowd. The curry noodles are delicious, different from the thick curry in China. There are shrimps in it, which is fresh~ Mochi is like mochi, and it is also delicious. Rojak is too unpalatable, not recommended. Whale fried is delicious, much better than fried rice. The most recommended is Cendol, you must try it.
The most popular Cendol in Penang is right outside the teahouse. You can order it and ask the waiter to bring it in. Summer desserts are a must-have for cooling off. The fried kway teow, laksa, and oyster omelette in the restaurant are all very authentic and well-known locally.
It's really delicious. The environment is simple and there are many people. You have to wait for a seat. There are 5 stalls in total, bread, oyster omelette, fried rice noodles, and a snack stall. The three in the middle are recommended. I didn't order bread because it was noon. The last snack stall was made by foreigners and was not delicious. Everyone paid for their own money. There is no need to queue for the most famous Cendol next to his restaurant. The Cendol tastes slightly salty, which is actually similar to the one I ate at 88 Jonker Street, Malacca. But the price is really cheap. I also ordered red bean ice, which is really not delicious, with a strange spice smell.
It's just at a corner, inside the famous red bean cream stall. It's not a restaurant but a combination of many small stalls. It's a bit confusing inside. Actually, you just need to find a good seat and sit down. Go to each stall and tell the owner what you want. They will magically remember your face and bring it to you. Just pay when it's delivered. Although sometimes I don't understand it very well and don't know what I want, just pay obediently. Everything is not too expensive. You can try it. Fried Kway Teow is dry fried beef noodles with some ingredients. The taste of Laksa is completely different from what I had in Kuala Lumpur before. It tastes more like Thai Tom Yum Goong. The noodles inside are like sweet potato noodles. The vegetable cake is written as 1 yuan per piece, but after ordering one, a plate of 6 pieces was served. Anyway, it's 6 yuan. The white one tastes better, but I don't know what's in it. The green one is chives and not very delicious. The seafood pancake is 5 yuan each. It seems to have something similar to crab and the contents are similar to the white vegetable cake. Brush it with a layer of sweet and salty sauce (it tastes a bit like potato shreds burrito QAQ) My friend doesn't like it but I think it's pretty good. I went there around 5pm and the oyster omelette was sold out, which was a bit disappointing. Anyway, the environment is not very good and it's also very hot. Ordering and paying are also a mess. The taste is actually just so-so, but it can be regarded as a check-in at an Internet celebrity place. It's okay to try every snack.
