Ivy’s Kitchen @ Penang Chow Thye Road

Another food review arranged by Criz. Our destination for the review was Ivy’s Kitchen, located at 54 Chow Thye Road. Last month, there was a lunch review in Ivy’s Kitchen as well. I never attended but I have read the reviews by our food bloggers. This time, 6 of us were invited to try out the dinner instead.

A big banner is hang on top of the entrance. As you can see, Ivy’s Kitchen offers Steam Boat Dinner, Seafood Dinner and Fish Head Curry. Of course, these 3 are only some of the dishes among others.

You can choose to sit outside or inside with air conditioning. It’s your decision. However, order and payment need to be done inside.

We suppose to order our own drink. Since we have no idea on what to choose, Mr Tan decided to give us different colors of drink, for the photo taking purposes. πŸ™‚ First, it comes with 5 colorful drinks.

Then, add in another one, become 6. But we have 7!

Here comes another one, to make it 7. All the 7 drinks are: Honeydew, Watermelon, Apple with Lime, Cucumber Mint, Carrot with Milk, Orange and Ambala Sour Plum. Each drink costs RM2.20. According to NKOTB who has the Apple with Lime, the lime is too strong against the apple. For Cucumber Mint, Waco said it tasted like cucumber. Hmmmmm, of course it tasted like cucumber, if not, it tasted like banana? LOL.

Our first dish of the night, Sweet and Sour Flower Crab. The gravy is very good. However, I never feel the sourness. Besides, I like it to be more spicy. Mr Tan explained, if it is too spicy, children are not able to take it. All the dishes are meant for whole family. This has cleared all the doubts. We suggested to have the level of spiciness:Β  mild, moderate and super spicy for customers to choose their desired level. Sounds great right? This dish will become perfect if Fried Man Tou is provided, to dip it with the gravy. Slurp…….

The charges for Sweet and Sour Flower Crab is RM30 per 600g. By looking and the photo below, can you guess how much we have eaten? Honestly, I have no idea. If you want to know, ask Mr Tan or Ms Ivy. Maybe, you can get a free treat from Mr Tan by guessing it right. I said, MAYBE.

Joo Hoo Char – RM10. This dish is very common. You can find it in most of the Nyonya restaurant. I just like it.

Whose hand? This one is pretty easy to guess. It is nice to have the Joo Hoo Char with the vege.

Lobak is the next. If Mr Tan never mentioned the meat was chicken, I did not notice also. I just eat. To me, it is just normal. I still prefer the one my mum made. Haha. RM6 for this plate of Lobak.

Here comes the Asam Prawn. The size of the prawn is small, if compare to other restaurant. But with the price of RM4-RM5, it’s worth it! I like this Asam Prawn. YUMMY!

Sambal Kai Lan. It has 3 categories: Small (RM8), Medium (RM10) and Large (RM14). If you dine in Ivy’s Kitchen, don’t forget to order this dish with more sambal or more spicy. The sambal is just fantastic.

Fish Curry or in Malay, Gulai Tumis Ikan. Black Promfret was being used in this curry. The curry is sour. Spicy wise, it is OK for me. The price is charged according to the weight of the fish. RM10 per 100g. Again, how much is the fish curry below costs? Same answer from me, ask Mr Tan.

Tofu Seaweed SoupSmall (RM8), Medium (RM10) and Large (RM14). It is a very normal soup. Nothing special.

Additional dish: Beef Rendang, courtesy of Mr Tan. The gravy was superb. However, the beef was not tender enough. Besides, maybe the beef can be replaced by chicken or pork, since some people don’t eat beef.

Red Bean LonganRM2 per bowl.

img_1471

It is full of red bean, sago and longan, worth the price.

Overall, I was very full after this dinner. All dishes are delicious and great, especially Sweet and Sour Flower Crab, Asam Prawn, Sambal Kai Lan and Beef Rendang. If you cannot think of a place to go for your dinner, try Ivy’s Kitchen out. It’s simply delicious and yummy!

  1. A piece that earned its conclusions through the body rather than asserting them at the end, and a look at globebeats maintained the same earned quality, conclusions that follow from what came before are more persuasive than declarations and this site has clearly internalised that principle in how it constructs arguments throughout pieces.

  2. During my morning reading slot this fit perfectly into the routine, and a look at trailharborcraftcollective extended that perfect fit into the rest of the routine, content that matches the rhythm of how I actually read rather than demanding accommodation from my schedule is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has it.

  3. Came away with some new perspectives I had not considered before, and after trailharborcommercegallery those ideas felt more complete, the kind of content that stays with you a little while after reading rather than slipping out the moment you switch tabs and move on with your day to whatever comes next.

  4. Genuinely well crafted writing, the kind that makes the topic look easier than it actually is, and a look at crystalcovevendorworkshop added even more depth, you can feel the experience behind every line which is something only writers who have been at this for a while can pull off with this level of grace.

  5. Felt energised after reading rather than drained, which is unusual for online content these days, and a look at iciclebrookmarketroom 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.

  7. A slim post with substantial content per word, and a look at granitegrovegoroom maintained the same density, the content per word ratio is something I track informally and this site scores high on that ratio compared to most sources I read regularly which is a quiet indicator of careful editorial work behind the scenes.

  8. Thanks for the practical examples scattered through the post rather than abstract theory only, and a look at junipercoveartisanexchange continued that grounded style, abstract points are easier to remember when paired with concrete situations and the writers here clearly understand how readers actually retain information from blog content reading sessions.

  9. I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at globalcartcorner the same calm pace was there, no rushing to make a point and no padding either, just clean honest writing that I can respect and come back to later again.

  10. Reading this on a long flight and finding it the best thing I read across hours of trying, and a stop at berrycovecraftcollective kept the streak going, when content beats long flight reading you know it has substance because flight reading is a hard test of a piece given the alternatives available everywhere.

  11. Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at cloudcovecraftcollective pushed that impulse further, when content provokes the urge to participate rather than just consume it is doing something quite specific and worth recognising clearly when it happens during reading.

  12. Appreciate the thoughtful approach, the writer clearly took time to make this readable for someone who is not already an expert, and a look at crystalcovevendorworkshop kept that going nicely, easy on the eyes and easy on the brain which is always a winning combination when reading on a busy day.
