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.

img_1395

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

img_1409

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.

img_1398

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!

img_1416

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.

img_1427

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.

img_1442

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

img_1469

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.

img_1452

Red Bean LonganRM2 per bowl.

img_1471

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

img_1488

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.

  14. Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at trailharborcraftcollective 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.

  15. Solid value packed into a relatively short post, that takes skill, and a look at snowcovecraftcollective 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.

  16. My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at freshcarthub extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.

  17. Top tier post, the kind that makes you want to share the link with friends working in the same area, and a stop at berrycovecraftcollective only made me more confident in doing that, this site is one of the better resources I have seen on the topic recently across both new and older posts.

  18. Reading this in the time it took to drink half a cup of coffee, and a stop at iciclebrookmarketroom fit naturally into the second half, content that respects the rhythms of a typical morning is content with practical fit and this site has the kind of length and pacing that works for the way I actually read.

  19. Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at chestnutharbortradeparlor did the same to me, content that provokes thought rather than just delivering information is in a different category and the team here is clearly working at that higher level rather than just cranking out posts.

  20. Probably worth setting aside a longer block to read more carefully than I can right now, and a stop at windharbortradehall confirmed the longer block plan, the impulse to schedule dedicated time for a sites archive is itself a measure of trust and this site has earned that scheduling impulse from me clearly today actually.

  22. Honest opinion is that this is the kind of post that builds long term trust with readers, and a look at cloudcovecraftcollective reinforced that perception, the slow accumulation of trust through consistent quality is the only sustainable way to build a real audience and this site is clearly playing that long game.

  24. Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at globalcartcorner kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.

  25. Honest opinion is that this is the kind of post that builds long term trust with readers, and a look at garnetharborartisanexchange reinforced that perception, the slow accumulation of trust through consistent quality is the only sustainable way to build a real audience and this site is clearly playing that long game.

  26. Granted my mood today might be elevating my reading experience but I still think this is genuinely good, and a stop at pebblepinevendorhall reinforced that even discounted assessment, controlling for the mood adjustment that affects content perception this site still reads as substantively above average across multiple pieces I have read carefully today.

  27. Solid recommendation from me to anyone working in the area, the perspective here is grounded, and a look at snowcovecraftcollective adds even more useful angles, the kind of site that becomes a reference rather than just a one time read which is a higher bar than most blogs ever reach today on the modern web.

  28. Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at windharbortradehall 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.

  29. Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at sageharborgoodsgallery confirmed that early intuition, when bookmark intent forms before finishing a post you know the writing has cleared a quality bar that most content fails to clear and this site has cleared it on multiple visits already.

  30. Most blog writing on this subject reaches for the same handful of arguments and this post avoided them, and a look at zencoveartisanexchange continued the original treatment, content that finds its own path through territory other writers have flattened is content with real authorial energy and this site has plenty of that distinctive energy.

  31. A handful of memorable phrases from this one I will probably use later, and a look at discoverfreshopportunities added a couple more, content that contributes language to my own communication rather than just facts is content with a different kind of utility and this site is providing that linguistic utility consistently across what I read.

  32. Probably worth setting aside a longer block to read more carefully than I can right now, and a stop at pebblepinevendorhall confirmed the longer block plan, the impulse to schedule dedicated time for a sites archive is itself a measure of trust and this site has earned that scheduling impulse from me clearly today actually.

  33. Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at harborstonevendorhall reinforced that distinctness, the rare site that contributes something genuinely original to a saturated topic is the rare site worth following carefully and this one has demonstrated that original contribution capability today.

  34. Honest assessment is that this is one of the better short reads I have had this week, and a look at freshcarthub reinforced that, the bar for short content is low because most of it sacrifices substance for brevity but this site manages both at once which is harder than it sounds for most writers attempting it.

  35. Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at garnetharborartisanexchange adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.

  36. Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through chestnutharbortradeparlor I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.

  37. Reading this slowly and letting each paragraph land before moving on, and a stop at sageharborgoodsgallery earned the same patient approach, content that rewards slow reading rather than speed is content with real density and the writers here are clearly producing work that benefits from the careful eye rather than the rushed scan.

  38. Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at wheatcoveartisanexchange maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.

  39. The headings made navigating the post simple even when I needed to find a specific section quickly, and a look at goldenbuycenter continued the same thoughtful structure, small details like clear headings show that someone is actually thinking about how the reader uses the page rather than just filling it for length alone.

  40. Skipped breakfast still reading this and finished hungry but satisfied, and a stop at frostcoast 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.

  41. During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at harborstonevendorhall continued the standout quality, the side by side comparison of sources during research is a useful exercise and this site has been winning those comparisons for me consistently across multiple research sessions during the last week.

  42. A piece that read smoothly because the writer understood how readers actually move through prose, and a look at discoverfreshopportunities maintained the same reader awareness, writers who think about the reading experience as much as the writing experience produce better work and this site has clearly made that shift in editorial approach.

  43. Bookmark earned, share earned, return visit earned, all from one reading session, and a look at zencoveartisanexchange 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.

  44. The post made the topic feel approachable without making it feel trivial, that is a fine balance, and a stop at pebblepinevendorhall maintained the same balance, finding the middle ground between welcoming and serious is genuinely difficult and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently hit it well across many different posts.

  45. Worth observing that the post landed without needing a flashy headline to hook attention, and a stop at trailharbormerchantgallery did the same, content that earns engagement through substance rather than packaging is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has clearly chosen substance as the primary lever for reader engagement throughout.

  46. Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at wheatcoveartisanexchange confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.

  47. Easily one of the better explanations I have read on the topic, and a stop at goldenbuycenter pushed it even higher in my mental ranking of useful resources, the kind of site that beats the average not by trying harder but by simply caring more about what it puts out daily which always shows.

  49. Coming back to this one, definitely, and a quick visit to graniteorchardgoodsroom only made me more sure of that, the kind of writing that makes you want to set aside time later rather than rushing through it now while distracted by everything else competing for attention on the screen today across so many tabs.
