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.

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.

2,009 thoughts on “Ko Fu Loft @ Penang Gurney Plaza

  1. Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at makeeverymomentcount extended that productive feeling across the rest of the morning, the difference between productive reading and merely passing time is real and this site is consistently on the productive side for me lately.

  2. Skipped the comments section but might come back to read it, and a stop at leafdawn hinted at a quality reader community, sites where the comments are worth reading separately from the post are increasingly rare and signal a particular kind of audience that has grown around the editorial vision over time gradually.

  3. Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at noblecradle provided the source for further checking, content that supports verification through citations or links rather than just asserting facts is more trustworthy and this site has clearly built its credibility through that kind of verifiable approach consistently.

  4. Different in a good way from the cookie cutter content that fills most blogs covering this area, and a stop at everlineartisan kept showing me why, original thoughtful writing exists if you know where to look and this site has earned a place on my short list of those rare exceptions worth defending.

  5. Reading this gave me a quiet moment of intellectual pleasure that I had not been expecting, and a stop at domemarina extended that pleasure across more pages, the unexpected reward of stumbling into careful writing is one of the small ongoing pleasures of reading the open web and this site is delivering it reliably.

  6. Just want to record that this site is entering my regular reading list, and a look at leafdawn confirmed it deserves the spot, my regular reading list is short and well curated and adding to it requires meeting a fairly high quality bar that this site has clearly cleared without much effort apparently.

  7. Coming back tomorrow when I can give this a proper read, the post deserves better attention than I can give right now, and a look at softwillowdesigns suggests there is plenty more here that deserves the same treatment, definitely a site I will be exploring properly over the next few days when I can.

  8. Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at makeeverymomentcount extended that gap filling effect, content that meets needs I had not consciously formulated is content with reader insight and this site has clearly developed that anticipatory editorial sense across many pieces.

  9. Will recommend this to a couple of friends who have been asking about this exact topic, and after learnshareachieve I have even more reason to do so, the kind of site that earns word of mouth rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing or paid placements is always a treat to find online.

  10. Liked that the post landed without needing to manufacture controversy or take a contrarian stance for attention, and a stop at freshwindemporium continued that grounded approach, content that earns attention through quality rather than provocation is the kind that builds long term trust rather than burning it on quick wins.

  11. Picked up two new ideas that I expect will come up in conversations this week, and a look at sunrisetrailmarket added another, content that arms me with talking points rather than just filling time is the kind that provides ongoing value beyond the moment of reading and this site is generating that kind of ongoing value.

  12. Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after softsummershoppe I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.

  13. Generally I find the content on similar topics frustrating in specific ways and this post avoided all of them, and a look at trendspotmarket continued that frustration free experience, content that sidesteps the standard failure modes of its genre is content with editorial awareness and this site has clearly studied what fails elsewhere consistently.

  14. Appreciate the practical examples, they made the abstract points easier to grasp, and a stop at authenticglobalfinds added more of the same, this site clearly understands that real examples beat empty theory every single time which is the mark of a writer who knows their audience well and respects their time.

  15. Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at freshsagecorner 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.

  16. Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at globalfashioncollection also lacked any aggressive monetisation, content that is not constantly trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and that confidence shows up as a different reading experience.

  17. A small thing but the line spacing and font choices made reading this physically pleasant, and a look at hillessence maintained the same careful design, technical choices about typography are part of what makes online reading actually comfortable and this site has clearly invested in the design layer alongside the content layer carefully.

  18. A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at brightcollectionhub extended the pleasure across more pages, content that pairs well with quiet morning rituals is something I have come to value highly and this site has the kind of energy that fits naturally into a calm reading routine.

  19. Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at duetdrive kept that reader friendly approach going, navigation is something many blog writers ignore but small structural choices make a noticeable difference for someone returning to find a specific point again days or weeks later.

  20. Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at musebeat confirmed there is plenty more here to explore, the kind of writing that builds appetite rather than killing it which is a rare quality on the modern open internet today across most categories of content.

  21. Felt energised after reading rather than drained, which is unusual for online content these days, and a look at fondarbors continued that good feeling, content that leaves you better than it found you is rare and worth bookmarking when you stumble across it for the first time today or any other day really.

  22. Skipped to a specific section because I knew that was the question I had, and the answer was clean, and a stop at etheraisle similarly delivered targeted answers without burying them, content engineered for readers who arrive with specific needs rather than open ended browsing is increasingly valuable in a search heavy reading environment.

  23. Now adding the homepage to my regular check rotation rather than waiting for individual links to find me, and a stop at globalforestmart confirmed the rotation upgrade, the move from passive discovery to active checking is a vote of confidence in a sites ongoing quality and this site has earned that active engagement clearly.

  24. Sets a higher bar than most of what shows up in search results for this topic, and a look at premiumethicalgoods did not lower that bar at all, in fact it confirmed the impression, this is the kind of consistency that earns a place in regular rotation for serious readers instead of casual scrollers passing through.

  25. Top notch writing, every paragraph carries weight and nothing feels like filler, and a stop at firminlets reflected that same care, a rare thing on the open web these days where most pages exist for clicks rather than actual reader value or anything close to that which is honestly a real shame.

  26. Decided to set a calendar reminder to revisit, and a stop at moonfallboutique extended that revisit list, calendar entries for content are a level of commitment I rarely make but when I do they signal a higher regard than a simple bookmark and this site has earned that calendar tier of relationship from me today.

  27. Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at leafdawn continued that precise style, this kind of attention to small details is what separates careful writing from the usual rushed content that dominates blog spaces today across pretty much every topic I follow.

  28. Found the section structure particularly thoughtful, and a stop at homecovidtest 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.

  29. Liked how the post handled an objection I was forming as I read, and a stop at modernartisanmarketplace similarly anticipated where my thinking was going next, the rare writer who can predict reader concerns and address them in advance is doing something most online content fails to do despite that being basic editorial work.

  30. Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at ehajjumrahtours confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.

  31. Really thankful for posts that respect a reader’s time, this one does, and a quick look at staycuriousandcreative was the same, no need to scroll through endless intros just to get to the actual content, that approach alone is enough reason to come back here regularly for the kind of writing offered.

  32. Reading this gave me material for a conversation I needed to have anyway, and a stop at lunarharvestmart added even more talking points, content that connects to upcoming social or professional needs rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my attention these days routinely.

  33. A piece that did not lean on the writer credentials or institutional backing, and a look at prairievendor maintained the same focus on substance, content that earns trust through quality rather than through name dropping is the kind I find most persuasive and this site is clearly playing on the substance side of that distinction.

  34. Really nice to see things explained without overcomplicating the topic, the words flow naturally and stay easy to follow, and a short visit to orderquill only added to that experience because the same simple approach is used across the rest of the page too without any change in tone.

  35. Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at premiumhandpickedgoods confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.

  36. Appreciate how nothing here feels copied or pieced together from other places, the voice is consistent and the tone stays human, and after I checked duetparishs I noticed the same style holds, which is a small detail but it makes the whole experience feel personal rather than like another generic site.

  37. Now thinking about whether the writer might publish a longer form work I would buy, and a look at braceborn suggested the same depth would translate, content that makes me want to pay for related work in other formats is content that has earned commercial trust as well as attention trust and this site has both clearly.

  38. Started imagining how I would explain the topic to someone else after reading, and a look at clearbrick gave me more material for that imagined explanation, content that improves my own ability to discuss a topic is content that has actually transferred knowledge rather than just decorating my screen for a few minutes.

  39. Probably one of the more reliable sources I have found for this kind of careful coverage, and a look at fairfinch reinforced the reliability, the small group of sources I would describe as reliable for a given topic is curated carefully and this site has earned a place in that small group through consistent performance.

  40. Now I want to find more sites like this but I suspect they are rare, and a look at glenfir extended that thought, the few sites that meet this quality bar are precious specifically because they are rare and finding others like them is one of the ongoing projects of careful internet curation across the years.

  41. Now feeling confident enough in this site to use it as a reference point for evaluating others on the same topic, and a look at depotglow continued the comparison friendly quality, sites that serve as quality benchmarks for their topic are precious and this one has clearly become a benchmark for me on this particular subject area.

  42. Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at draftglades also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.

  43. Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at silkgrovevendorroom extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.

  44. Reading this on a difficult day was a small bright spot, and a stop at oasiscrate extended that brightness, content that improves a hard day is content that has earned a particular kind of place in my reading habits and this site is occupying that uplifting role for me today which I appreciate clearly.

  45. A piece that built up gradually rather than front loading its main points, and a look at draftglades maintained the same gradual structure, content that trusts the reader to reach conclusions through accumulating reasoning is more persuasive than content that announces conclusions and then defends them and this site uses the persuasive approach.

  46. Now setting up a small reminder to revisit the site on a slow day, and a stop at thoughtfuldesigncollective confirmed the reminder was a good idea, planning return visits is a small organisational act that signals trust in ongoing quality and this site has earned that planned return through consistent performance across the pieces I have read so far.

  47. Really grateful for content like this, it does not waste my time and it does not insult my intelligence either, and a quick look at musebeats was the same, balanced respectful writing that makes a person feel welcome rather than rushed through pages of forced engagement just to keep clicking around.

  48. Quiet confidence runs through the whole post, no need to shout to make the points stick, and a stop at shopzaro carried that same restrained voice forward, content that respects the reader by trusting its own substance rather than dressing it up in theatrical language is what I look for online and rarely actually find these days.

  49. Текст посвящён распространённым мифам о зависимости и их развенчанию. Мы предоставим научно обоснованную информацию и дадим рекомендации по выбору эффективного способа борьбы с зависимым поведением.

  50. Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at morxavi extended that across more pages I will return to, ranking what I read against what else I read each day is something I do informally and this site keeps moving up in those rankings the more I explore it.
