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.

2,482 thoughts on “Ko Fu Loft @ Penang Gurney Plaza

  1. Got pulled in by the headline and stayed because the content actually delivered on the promise, and a stop at growwithclearintent kept that trust intact, when a site lives up to its own framing it earns the right to keep showing up in my browser tabs going forward indefinitely from here on out really.

  2. If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at businessfri 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.

  3. Reading this gave me the rare experience of fully agreeing with all the conclusions, and a stop at mersintv continued that agreement pattern, content that aligns with my existing views without seeming designed to do so is just content that happens to be reasonable and this site reads as reasonable rather than ideological mostly.

  4. Solid endorsement from me, the writing earns it, and a look at beaconcopper continues to earn it across the broader site too, the kind of operation that maintains quality across many pages rather than just one viral post is a sign of serious commitment and that is what I see here clearly across what I read.

  5. Top notch writing, every paragraph carries weight and nothing feels like filler, and a stop at sejieaa 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.

  6. Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at actionactivation hit it again, you can tell when a site has been built with care versus thrown together for the sake of having something to put online and this is clearly the former approach taken by the team.

  7. Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at 54xx54 only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.

  8. Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at beetledune confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.

  9. Reading this on a difficult day was a small bright spot, and a stop at minicreditosnuevos 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.

  10. Found the post genuinely useful for something I was working on this week, and a look at actionactivation added more material I will reference, content that connects to my actual life and work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind I will pay attention to and return to repeatedly.

  11. Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at ghewr only widened the gap, comparing content side by side is a useful exercise and the gap between this site and average competitors in the space is large enough to be noticeable from the first paragraph.

  12. Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at pncdhs only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.

  13. Liked the careful selection of which details to include and which to skip, and a stop at adverba reflected the same editorial judgement, knowing what to leave out is just as important as knowing what to include and this site has clearly figured out where that line sits for the topics it covers regularly.

  14. Came in for one specific question and got answers to three I had not even thought to ask, and a look at dgeg extended that bonus value pattern, the kind of resource that anticipates reader needs rather than just answering the literal question asked is the gold standard and this site reaches it.

  15. Sets a higher bar than most of what shows up in search results for this topic, and a look at adobebronze 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.

  16. Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at ufobet88 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.

  17. Solid value packed into a relatively short post, that takes skill, and a look at actionactivation continues the dense useful content across more pages, this site clearly understands that respecting reader time is itself a form of generosity which is something most blog operations seem to have forgotten lately across the wider open web.

  18. Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at americahtml only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.

  19. Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at collothuna extended the refresher, content that strengthens existing knowledge rather than just adding new is content with a particular kind of consolidating value and this site is providing that consolidating function across multiple visits.

  20. Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at coyotederby 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.

  21. Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at tzxc3342 continued that quiet respect, this is the kind of small but meaningful detail that separates the sites I bookmark from the ones I close after a single skim and never return to again no matter how interesting the headline.

  22. Decent post that improved my afternoon a small amount, and a look at 2hays added a bit more to that, sometimes the small wins online add up over time and a useful site like this one is the kind of place that contributes consistently to those small wins for me lately across many different topics I follow.

  23. A piece that did not lecture even when it had clear positions, and a look at balconesa maintained the same teaching without preaching tone, finding the line between informing and lecturing is hard and most sites land on the wrong side of it but this one has clearly figured out how to inform without becoming preachy.

  24. Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at airmailsa earned the same upgrade, the distinction between casual interest and lasting reference is something I track carefully and very few sites cross that threshold but this one did so without much effort apparently.

  25. Reading this gave me the rare experience of fully agreeing with all the conclusions, and a stop at velegele continued that agreement pattern, content that aligns with my existing views without seeming designed to do so is just content that happens to be reasonable and this site reads as reasonable rather than ideological mostly.

  26. Even across multiple posts the writers voice has remained consistent in a way I appreciate, and a stop at haloku69 continued that voice, sites that maintain editorial consistency across many pieces have something most sites lack and this one has clearly worked out how to keep its voice steady across what reads as a growing archive.

  27. Generally I find the content on similar topics frustrating in specific ways and this post avoided all of them, and a look at appliquea 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.

  28. Found the writing surprisingly fresh for what is by now a well covered topic, and a stop at wbsaoabb kept that freshness going across the related pages, original perspective on familiar ground is hard to come by and this site has clearly earned its place in the conversation rather than just rehashing old ideas.

  29. Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at agammaglobulinemiaa 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.

  30. Reading this with a notebook open turned out to be the right move, and a stop at computermonth 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.

  31. Took a few notes from this post, the points are easy to remember without needing to come back and check, and a look at wigkogmwuq added a couple more, the kind of place that sticks in the memory long after the browser tab has been closed for the day which says a lot really.

  32. 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 heronfjord 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.

  33. Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to bhvideo kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.

  34. If patience for careful reading is rare these days finding sites that reward it is rarer still, and a stop at bevelbison extended that rare reward, the diminishing returns on shallow content reading have made me more selective about where to spend reading time and this site is meeting the higher selectivity bar consistently.

  35. Thanks again for the post, I learned a couple of things I can actually use later this week, and after I went over awwp9k the rest of the site looked equally promising, definitely going to spend more time here when I get a free moment over the weekend to read more carefully.

  36. Genuinely changed how I think about a small piece of the topic, which does not happen often online, and a look at arthemisa added another nudge in the same direction, the kind of writing that earns a small mental shift rather than just confirming what you already thought before reading is a sign of careful thought.

  37. Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at focusmapping continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.

  38. Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at nandh only widened the gap, comparing content side by side is a useful exercise and the gap between this site and average competitors in the space is large enough to be noticeable from the first paragraph.

  39. Glad to have another reliable bookmark for this topic, and a look at apiculatea suggested several more pages I will be marking too, building a personal library of trustworthy resources is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is earning a place on my permanent shortlist for the topic.

  40. Skimmed first and then went back to read carefully, and the careful read paid off in places I had missed, and a stop at bhvideo got the same treatment, the rare site whose content rewards a second pass is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable single read articles.

  41. Honestly slowed down to read this carefully which is not my default, and a look at hsjylsl4 kept me in that careful reading mode, the kind of writing that demands attention by being worth attention is rare in a media environment full of content engineered to be skimmed not read with any real focus today.

  42. Saving this link for the next time someone asks me about this topic, and a look at focusmapping expanded what I will be sharing with them, this is the kind of resource that makes a real difference when you are trying to point a friend to something useful and reliable rather than generic marketing pages.

  43. Better than most of the writing I have come across on this topic recently, simpler and more direct, and a look at airtighta continued in that same way, a real outlier in a crowded space full of repetitive content that says little while taking up a lot of reader time today which is unfortunate.

  44. Really appreciate that the writer did not overstate the importance of the topic to make the post feel weightier, and a quick visit to bhvideo maintained the same modest framing, content that is honest about its own scope rather than inflating itself is the kind I trust and return to repeatedly over time.

  45. Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at kpsce kept that pairing alive across more material, this is what good editorial direction looks like in practice and the team here clearly has someone keeping a steady hand on the wheel across what they decide to publish.

  46. Felt like I was reading something written by someone who actually thinks about the topic rather than reciting it, and a look at administrativea 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.

  47. Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at allqyio added another piece I will incorporate, content that connects to specific projects I am working on is content with practical utility and the practical utility of this site is showing up across multiple posts I have read in the last hour or so.

  48. Worth saying that the post fit naturally into a rhythm of careful reading, and a stop at focusmapping extended the same rhythm, content that pairs well with how I actually read rather than demanding a different mode is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has clearly thought about that consistently.

  49. Really like that the writer trusts the reader to follow simple logic without restating every previous point, and a stop at coyotehopper kept that respect going, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people who need constant hand holding makes a noticeable difference in the reading experience for me.

  50. Spent a few minutes here and came away with a clearer picture of the topic, the writing keeps things simple without dumbing them down, and after a stop at nabyteknachalupu the rest of the points lined up neatly which is something I appreciate when I am short on time and need answers fast.
