Ivy’s Kitchen @ Penang Chow Thye Road

Posted on July 28, 2009 by allenooi

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.

Table setting inside the restaurant.

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. 🙂 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: 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 Soup – Small (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 Longan – RM2 per bowl.

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!

Felt the post had been quietly polished rather than aggressively styled, and a look at jebbeo confirmed the same understated polish, sites whose quality reveals itself slowly rather than announcing itself loudly are the kind I trust more deeply because the trust is not based on first impressions of marketing but actual substance.

Thanks for a post that does not try to be funny when it is not the moment for it, and a stop at learnandoptimizepath maintained the same appropriate seriousness, knowing when humour helps and when it just signals desperation for engagement is a sign of editorial maturity that many blogs have not developed yet.
VanceSwilk on June 7, 2026 at 11:06 am said:

Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at findgrowthopportunitiespath reflected the same humility, content that respects the reader rather than trying to dazzle them is something I always appreciate and rarely come across in this corner of the internet today across the topics I usually read.
ClaytonNuB on June 7, 2026 at 11:08 am said:

Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at explorefreshthinkingnow only confirms that, the rare combination of accessibility and depth in this site makes it suitable for both newcomers and people who already know the area which is hard to pull off in any blog format today and rarely managed.
JabariGlype on June 7, 2026 at 11:12 am said:

Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at startnextlevelgrowth carried that personality forward, finding a distinct voice on a saturated topic is impressive and worth pointing out when it happens because most sites end up sounding identical to their nearest competitors quickly.
Dwaynewak on June 7, 2026 at 11:15 am said:

Bookmark earned, share earned, return visit earned, all from one reading session, and a look at inobrisk did the same, the trifecta of bookmark and share and return is rare in a single visit and represents the highest level of engagement I tend to offer any piece of online content these days here.
Saulcit on June 7, 2026 at 11:19 am said:

Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after discovernewmomentum 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.
Lainefub on June 7, 2026 at 11:19 am said:

Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at exploreideaswithpurpose 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.

Found this through a friend who recommended it and now I see why, and a look at holzix only strengthened that recommendation in my own mind, word of mouth still works for content that actually delivers and this site is clearly earning recommendations the old fashioned way through quality rather than marketing.

A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at buildlongtermfocus continued that disciplined focus, focus is a editorial choice that compounds across many small decisions and this site has clearly made those small decisions consistently across what I have read so far this week here.
Rolandoaloli on June 7, 2026 at 5:32 pm said:

Genuinely good work, the kind that holds up over multiple readings without losing its appeal, and a stop at buildintentionalsteps kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to and probably mentioning to others who work in or care about this particular area of interest today and in coming weeks.
RoccoPurip on June 7, 2026 at 11:34 pm said:

Now recognising that the post handled the topic with appropriate technical precision without becoming dry, and a stop at createvisionexecution continued that balance, technical precision and readability are often in tension and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain both at once which is one of the harder editorial achievements in the form.

Now recognising the post as a rare example of careful writing on a topic that mostly receives careless treatment, and a stop at discovercreativegrowth extended that contrast with the average elsewhere, content that highlights how much the average is settling for low quality is content that has both internal merit and external value as a benchmark.
CristianPaugs on June 8, 2026 at 11:44 am said:

A satisfying piece in the way that good meals are satisfying rather than just filling, and a look at growwithconfidenceandclarity extended that satisfaction, the metaphor between content and meals is one I find useful and this site reads as a satisfying meal rather than the empty calories that most content provides for casual readers.

Now realising this site has been quietly doing good work for longer than I knew, and a look at exploreideaswithclarity suggested an archive worth exploring, sites with deep archives of consistent quality represent a different kind of resource than sites with viral hits and this one looks like the durable kind based on what I see.
AdamAnard on June 9, 2026 at 5:55 am said:

Skipped to a specific section because I knew that was the question I had, and the answer was clean, and a stop at designbetteroutcomes 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.

Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at learnandtransformdirectionnow 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.
LeonWah on June 9, 2026 at 12:00 pm said:

Worth bookmarking and sharing with anyone interested in the topic, that is my honest take, and a stop at actioncreatesresults reinforces that, the kind of generous resource that makes the open web feel worth defending against the constant pressure to retreat into walled gardens and curated feeds today everywhere I look across all my devices.
