Ko Fu Loft @ Penang Gurney Plaza

Ko Fu Loft has a big banner in the main hall of Gurney Plaza. If you are taking the escalator, you will be able to see it. I have the chance to go for a food review together with all the food bloggers, thanks to Jian and Criz. If I am not mistaken, we have more than 20 people.

Let’s start with the Appetizers.

Ko Fu Sesame Seed Ball (RM10.90)
Taste normal. The minced meat is mixed with mushroom.

Crystal Spring Roll Skin Stuff with Vege & Chicken Meat (RM6.90)
If you just eat it without the sauce, it is tasteless. With the sauce, it makes it better. This appetizer can get in most of the restaurant. One of them that I can remember is the Miss Saigon in Egate.

Main Course

Fried Seafood Emperor Noodle (RM12.90)
The noodle looks tempting. However, it is just for the look. The noodle is tasteless. I never think of adding soy sauce and test it out. Maybe with soy sauce, it will be better?

Deep Fried Homemade Bean Curd (RM12.90)
Normal dish. A bit oily but not bad.

Deep Fried Five Spices Calamari (RM13.90)
Another normal dish. Nothing special.

Jindo Pork Ribs (RM14.90)
I like this Pork Ribs. Taste good due to the pepper? Anyway, nice!

Szechuan Aromatic Duck (RM18.90)
Many felt that the meat is a bit dry. It is OK to me. I recommended to put some sauce and wrapped with the egg slices before you put into your mouth.

All in 1 Roasted Meat with Vegetables
This is the so call “Pun Choi”. The taste is weird. But, on other tables, it seems to be great since some of them like it. I would suggest to have the same serving for all diners. If not, some table will not like it (like ME) and some table will like it (Allie and Steven).

The prawn is not fresh and the abalone is too dry. Luckily, the presentation looks nice.

Dim Sum

Steamed Fresh Prawn Dumpling – Har Kau (RM5.50)
It has 3 prawns. Oh…. I love it.

img_8163

Minced Squid with Crab Claw Meat (RM6.90)
This dim sum is a bit not fresh. Many of us are having the same perception.

img_8169

Pork Dumpling with Fish Roes – Siew Mai (RM5.50)
Siew Mai in Ko Fu Loft is a bit special to me. From the look, it is exactly the same as what we find in other dim sum restaurant. However, if you bite on it, you will notice that the Siew Mai has prawn and mushroom, on top of the pork. Nice.

img_8174

Signature Steamed Custard Creamy Bun (RM5.50)
Another nice dim sum. The Custard Creamy Bun is really creamy. I’m loving it.

img_8167

Deep Fried Pandan Lotus Paste Dumpling (RM4.50)
One word, nice.

img_8194

Deep Fried Yam Paste with Minced Pork (RM4.50)
From the outside to the inside, it is same from other restaurant. However, another thumbs up dim sum from Ko Fu Loft.

Dessert

Dessert of the Day (RM3.50)
If you were there, you can see Cariso’s expression when she first drink this dessert. In fact, everyone is also having the same expression on the first taste. It tastes weird. Inside the dessert, it contains water chestnut and sago. If you continue eating, it becomes better.

After the food eating session, the chefs post in front of the restaurant and let us take the photos.

img_8284

Every food blogger is getting one RM5 Voucher, valid till 30th June. Maybe I will use it to get the Signature Steamed Custard Creamy Bun. LOL.

img_8252

Overall, the dim sum is definitely the best among all dishes that we tried. I like them! For the main course, improvement is needed. This is only applicable to me. Maybe you will like those dishes, since all of us have different taste bud. Furthermore, there are still a lot of dishes in the menu that we never tried. So, if you like Chinese cuisine, you can try it out yourself.

2,028 thoughts on “Ko Fu Loft @ Penang Gurney Plaza

  1. Came back to this twice now in the same week which is unusual for me, and a look at purefashionchoice suggested I will keep coming back, the kind of post that earns repeated visits rather than one and done reading is the gold standard for content quality and this site clearly hit that standard.

  2. A thoughtful read in a week that has been mostly noisy, and a look at meritmarina carried that thoughtful quality across more pages, finding pockets of considered writing in a week of distractions is one of the small wins of careful curation and this site is providing those pockets at a sustainable rate.

  3. Felt the writer did the homework before publishing, the references hold up, and a look at bestdailycorner continued that documented care, content with traceable claims rather than vague assertions is the kind I trust and the lack of bald assertion in this post is one of its quietly impressive qualities for me.

  4. Now planning to write about the topic myself eventually using this post as a reference, and a look at creativefindsmarket would also serve in that future piece, content that becomes raw material for my own writing rather than just informing my reading is content with multiplicative value and this site is generating that multiplicative effect.

  5. Reading this site over the past week has changed how I evaluate content in this space, and a look at dreamcrestridge extended that recalibration, the standards I bring to reading on the topic have shifted upward as a direct result of regular exposure to this kind of work and that shift will outlast any single reading session.

  6. Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at cozytimberoutlet continued that respect for the reader, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people to be hand held through every paragraph is something I notice and value highly across the open internet today.

  7. Once you start reading carefully here it is hard to go back to lower quality alternatives, and a stop at uniquegiftoutlet reinforced that ratchet effect, the way good content raises standards is real over time and this site has clearly contributed to raising my expectations for what is possible in writing on the topic generally.

  8. Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements, and a stop at creativehomeoutlet continued the above average performance, the calibration of judgement against potential overstatement is something I take seriously and this site clears the higher bar even after that calibration applies.

  9. Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at frostorchard confirmed the same standard runs across the rest of the site, definitely the kind of place I will be coming back to when this topic comes up in conversation later again over the weeks ahead.

  10. Reading this in pieces over a coffee break and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at lakeblossom extended that into related material I will return to later, the kind of site that fits naturally into small reading windows without requiring a long uninterrupted block is genuinely useful for how I actually browse.

  11. Closed my email tab so I could read this without interruption, and a stop at dreamcrestridge earned the same protected attention, when content is good enough to defend against the usual digital distractions you know it deserves better than the half attention most online reading gets in a typical busy day.

  12. Considered as a whole this site has developed a coherent point of view that comes through in individual pieces, and a look at flareinlet continued displaying that coherence, sites with a unified perspective rather than a grab bag of takes are sites with editorial maturity and this one has clearly developed that maturity through years of work.

  13. Appreciated how the post felt complete without overstaying its welcome, and a stop at brighttimbermarket confirmed that economical approach runs across the site, knowing when to stop is a skill many writers never develop but here the discipline is obvious and welcome from the perspective of a busy reader trying to learn things efficiently.

  14. Felt the writer did the homework before publishing, the references hold up, and a look at bestdailycorner continued that documented care, content with traceable claims rather than vague assertions is the kind I trust and the lack of bald assertion in this post is one of its quietly impressive qualities for me.

  15. Now feeling the post has earned a proper recommendation rather than a casual mention, and a stop at purefashionchoice reinforced the recommendation strength, the difference between mentioning and recommending is a small editorial distinction I observe in my own conversations and this site has earned the upgraded recommendation level from me confidently today.

  16. The use of plain language without dumbing down the topic was really well done, and a look at lunarbranchstore continued in that same accessible style, this is something many technical writers fail at because they either confuse their readers or condescend to them but here neither problem appears at all which is impressive really.

  17. Liked the natural conversational tone throughout, never stiff and never overly casual either, and a stop at urbanmeadowboutique kept that comfortable middle ground going, finding a tone that respects the reader without becoming distant or overly familiar is harder than it sounds and this site nails that balance consistently across many different pieces.

  18. Now setting this aside as a model of how to write thoughtfully on the topic, and a stop at creativefindsmarket extended that model status, content that becomes a reference for how a kind of writing should be done is content with influence beyond its own readership and this site is reaching that level for me clearly today.

  19. Just wanted to drop a quick note saying this was a useful read on a topic I have been circling, no fluff, and a stop at dazzquay added a few extra points that fit the same simple style which makes the whole site feel coherent rather than thrown together by many different writers with different goals.

  20. Skipped breakfast still reading this and finished hungry but satisfied, and a stop at brightmountainmall kept me past breakfast time, content that displaces basic biological needs is content with serious attentional pull and the writers here are clearly capable of producing that level of engagement which is genuinely impressive these days.

  21. Nice to see a post that does not try to overcomplicate the basics for the sake of looking smart, and once I looked at urbanhillfashion the same direct tone was there too, which honestly makes a difference when you are short on time and want answers without long pointless intros.

  22. Felt like I was reading something written by someone who actually thinks about the topic rather than reciting it, and a look at portolive reinforced that impression, the difference between recited content and considered content is huge and this site clearly belongs to the latter category which I appreciate as a careful reader looking for substance.

  23. During the time spent here I noticed the absence of the usual distractions, and a stop at coastlinegather extended that distraction free experience, content that does not fight my attention with pop ups and modals and aggressive prompts is content that respects me and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach throughout.

  24. A thoughtful piece that did not strain to be thoughtful, and a look at candidpalace continued that effortless quality, when thinking shows up in writing without the writer drawing attention to it you know you are reading something genuinely considered rather than something performing the appearance of consideration which is also common online.

  25. Most of my reading time goes to a small number of trusted sources and this one is now joining that group, and a stop at futurewoodtrends reinforced the group membership, the few sites that earn a place in my regular rotation are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has earned that elevated position consistently.

  26. Just dropping by to say thanks for the effort, it does not go unnoticed when a writer cares this much about the reader, and after I went through urbanwildfabrics I was certain this is one of the better corners of the internet for this particular kind of content which is genuinely refreshing.

  27. Felt the post handled a sensitive angle of the topic with appropriate care, and a look at makeeverymomentcount extended that careful handling across related material, sites that can navigate delicate territory without causing damage are rare and require a level of judgement that comes from experience rather than from following any clear playbook.

  28. Really appreciate the absence of stock photos that have nothing to do with the content, and a quick visit to brightstonevillage maintained the same restraint, visual filler is a tell that the writing cannot stand on its own and the lack of it here suggests the team has confidence in their content quality alone.

  29. Now realising the post has been quietly doing important work in my mind for the past hour, and a stop at fleetmarina extended that quiet processing, content that continues to do work after I close the tab is content with afterlife in the mind and this site is producing those long lived effects at a meaningful rate.

  30. Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at brightbrookmodern reinforced that follow intention, the few writers whose work I actively track are writers who have demonstrated sustained quality and this writer has clearly demonstrated that sustained quality across the pieces I have sampled here today.

  31. Found the section structure particularly thoughtful, and a stop at graingarden suggested the same care across the broader site, structural choices guide the reader through the material in ways most people do not consciously notice but feel the absence of when those choices are made carelessly or not at all.

  32. Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at kitecommune only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.

  33. Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at crestsunshine produced a couple more such moments, prose that produces small spontaneous reactions in the reader is doing more than just transferring information and the writers here are clearly hitting that level fairly consistently throughout pieces.

  34. If I had to summarise the editorial sensibility of this site in a few words it would be careful and human, and a look at trendandbuyhub extended that summary feeling, capturing the essence of a sites approach in brief is hard but this site has a clear enough identity that the summary comes naturally enough.

  35. Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at noblecradle continued that clean vocabulary, content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.

  36. A piece that prompted a small mental rearrangement of how I order related ideas, and a look at wildbirdstudio extended that rearranging effect, content that affects the structure of my thinking rather than just adding to it is content with the deepest kind of impact and this site is reaching that depth for me today.

  37. If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at everlineartisan extended that mild warning, the surface of the site does not advertise its quality loudly which means careful attention is required to recognise what is being offered here which is itself a kind of editorial signal.

  38. Worth saying that the quiet confidence of the writing is what landed first, and a look at domemarina continued that quiet quality, confident writing without the loud display of confidence is a rare combination and this site has clearly developed both the knowledge and the editorial restraint to land that combination consistently.

  39. Considered alongside other sources I have been reading this one consistently rises to the top, and a stop at coastlinegather maintained that top ranking, the informal ongoing comparison between sources is something I do whenever reading on a topic and this site keeps coming out near the top of those comparisons over many sessions.

  40. A memorable post for me on a topic I had thought I was tired of, and a look at futurewoodtrends suggested the same site can refresh other tired topics, sites that can revive my interest in subjects I had written off as exhausted are doing rare work and this one is clearly doing that for me today.

  41. Adding to the bookmarks now before I forget, that is how good this is, and a look at candidpalace confirmed the rest of the site is worth saving too, this is one of those rare finds that justifies the time spent searching the web for once which is a relief in the current environment.

  42. Reading this in the gap between work projects was a small but meaningful break, and a stop at graingarden extended that gentle reset, content that provides genuine refreshment rather than just distraction during work breaks is content with a particular kind of utility and this site fits that role for me reliably during work days.

  43. Well done, the kind of post that makes you slow down and actually read instead of skimming for keywords, and a look at kitecommune kept me reading carefully too, that is a sign of writing that has been crafted rather than churned out for an algorithm to see today and tomorrow.

  44. Felt the post handled a sensitive angle of the topic with appropriate care, and a look at makeeverymomentcount extended that careful handling across related material, sites that can navigate delicate territory without causing damage are rare and require a level of judgement that comes from experience rather than from following any clear playbook.

  45. A piece that was confident enough to leave some questions open rather than forcing closure, and a look at everlineartisan continued that intellectual honesty, content that admits the limits of its scope is more trustworthy than content that pretends to total understanding and this site has the right calibration on certainty consistently.

  46. Reading this with a notebook open turned out to be the right move, and a stop at softwillowdesigns added more material to the notes, content that justifies active note taking from a passive reader is content with real informational density and this site is producing notes worthy material at a high rate consistently.

  47. Worth saying that the quiet confidence of the writing is what landed first, and a look at domemarina continued that quiet quality, confident writing without the loud display of confidence is a rare combination and this site has clearly developed both the knowledge and the editorial restraint to land that combination consistently.

  48. Looking at this from the perspective of someone tired of generic content the contrast is striking, and a look at wildbirdstudio maintained that distinctive feel, sites with strong editorial identity stand out against the bland background of algorithmic content and this one has clearly developed an identity worth recognising through careful attention.

  49. Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at urbanwildfabrics kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.

  50. Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at futurewoodtrends carried the same tone forward, the kind of personality that makes a reader feel welcome rather than lectured at which is a balance plenty of writers struggle to find no matter how long they have been at it.
