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!

  2. Honestly slowed down to read this carefully which is not my default, and a look at linenmeadowmarkethall 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.

  4. Did not expect much when I clicked through but ended up reading the whole thing carefully, and a stop at cloudcovegoodsroom kept that engagement going, sometimes the unassuming sites turn out to deliver more than the flashy ones which is something I have learned to look out for over time online lately and across topics.

  5. Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at linenmeadowmarkethall only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.

  6. If I were grading sites on this topic this one would receive high marks, and a stop at bravofarms continued earning those high marks, the informal grading I do mentally for content sources is something I take seriously even though it is informal and this site has been receiving consistent high marks across multiple sessions today.

  7. Just want to flag that this was useful and not bury the appreciation in caveats, and a look at cloudcovegoodsroom earned the same direct praise, recognising good work without hedging it with criticism is something I try to practice because over qualified compliments tend to read as backhanded and miss the point sometimes.

  8. Really appreciate the confidence to make a clear point rather than hedging everything, and a quick visit to caramelcovecommerceatelier maintained the same direct stance, writing that takes positions rather than equivocating is more useful even when the positions are debatable because at least the reader has something to react to clearly.

  9. Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at dazzquays 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.

  10. Skipped the comments to avoid spoilers and came back later to find them genuinely worth reading, and a stop at embermeadowmarketguild extended that surprised respect, when the discussion below a post matches the quality of the post itself you have found something special and this site appears to attract that kind of audience.

  11. Reading this in three sittings because the day was fragmented, and the piece survived the fragmentation, and a stop at cottonbrookvendorfoundry held up under similar reading conditions, content engineered for continuous attention is fragile in modern conditions and this site reads as durable across the realistic ways people consume content today.

  12. A clean read with no irritations, and a look at amberharborvendorlounge continued that frictionless quality, the absence of small irritations is something I notice only when present elsewhere and this site is one of the rare places where everything just works and lets me focus on the substance rather than fighting the format.

  13. A piece that was confident enough to leave some questions open rather than forcing closure, and a look at woodharborcommercegallery continued that intellectual honesty, content that admits the limits of its scope is more trustworthy than content that pretends to total understanding and this site has the right calibration on certainty consistently.

  14. Now leaving a small mental note to recommend this when the topic comes up in conversation, and a look at bravofarms extended that recommend ready feeling, content that arms me with shareable references for likely future conversations is content with social value and this site is providing that conversational ammunition consistently for me lately.

  15. Found this via a link from another piece I was reading and the click was worth it, and a stop at caramelcovecommerceatelier extended the value across more material, the open web still rewards clicking through citations when the underlying writers care about each other work and this site clearly belongs to that network.

  16. If I am being honest this is the kind of site I quietly hope my own work will someday resemble, and a stop at cottonbrookvendorfoundry extended that aspirational feeling, finding work that models what I want to produce is part of why I read carefully and this site has been performing that modelling function for me lately consistently.

  17. Picked up several practical tips that I plan to try out this week, and a look at amberharborvendorlounge added a few more I will be testing alongside, content with practical hooks that connect to my actual life is the kind that earns my repeat attention rather than the merely interesting that I forget within a day.

  18. Reading this with my morning coffee turned into reading the related posts with my morning coffee, and a stop at dazzquays stretched the morning further, content that pulls breakfast into a reading session rather than just accompanying it is content that has earned a higher claim on my attention than the average article does.

  19. Came in confused about the topic and left with a much firmer grasp on it, and after suncovecraftcollective I felt I could explain this to someone else without hesitation, that is the gold standard for any educational content and most sites simply fail to reach it ever which is unfortunate but true.

  20. A welcome contrast to the loud takes that have dominated my feed lately, and a look at cottongrovegoodsgallery extended that calm voice, content that arrives without yelling has become unusual in the modern attention economy and this site is one of the few places I have found that consistently delivers without raising its voice.

  21. Most of my reading time goes to a small number of trusted sources and this one is now joining that group, and a stop at mossharborartisanexchange reinforced the group membership, the few sites that earn a place in my regular rotation are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has earned that elevated position consistently.

  22. Most attempts at writing on this topic feel like they are missing something and this post finally identified what was missing, and a look at konvexa extended that diagnostic clarity, content that names what is wrong with adjacent treatments while doing better itself is content with both critical and constructive value and this site has both.

  23. Genuine reaction is that this site clicked with how I like to read, and a look at gemcoast kept that comfortable fit going, sometimes you find a place online whose editorial decisions just align with your preferences and when that happens it is worth recognising and supporting through repeat engagement consistently going forward.

  24. Useful reading material, the kind I can hand off to someone newer to the topic without worrying about confusing them, and a quick look at cottongrovegoodsgallery confirmed the same beginner friendly tone runs throughout the site which is great for sharing with people just starting their learning journey on this particular topic.

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

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

  27. Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at ivoryharborvendorroom continued the same calibration, the right level of detail is one of the harder editorial calls in any piece and this site has clearly developed an instinct for it through what I assume is years of careful practice publicly.

  28. Just wanted to say this was useful and leave a small note of thanks, and a quick visit to dawnbrookmarketfoundry earned a similar nod from me, the small acknowledgements add up over time and represent the real economy of trust that good content runs on across the open and increasingly fragmented modern internet.

  29. Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at globalgoodscenter 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.

  30. 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 mossharborartisanexchange 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.

  32. Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at birchbrookvendorfoundry 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.

  33. Approaching this with the usual skepticism I bring to new sites and being slowly persuaded, and a stop at konvexa continued that gradual persuasion, the careful path from skeptical reader to genuine fan is the only one I trust and this site has walked me along that path through patient consistent quality across pieces.

  34. Honestly this kind of writing is why I still bother to read independent sites, and a look at createforwarddirection extended that broader reflection, the few sites that justify continued attention to non algorithmic content are sites like this one and finding them periodically is enough to keep my reading habits oriented toward independent rather than aggregated content.

  35. Took a quick scan first and then went back to read properly because the post deserved it, and a stop at marbleharbortradehall kept me reading carefully too, the kind of writing that earns a slower second pass rather than getting skimmed and forgotten is something I value highly when I happen to find it.

  36. On reflection this is the kind of writing that improves my taste for what is possible in the format, and a look at nextgenbuyhub continued raising that bar, content that elevates my expectations rather than lowering them is doing important work in calibrating my standards and this site is participating in that elevation reliably.

  37. Reading this in a moment of low energy still kept my attention, and a stop at embercovecommerceatelier continued that engagement under suboptimal conditions, content that survives the reader being tired is content with extra reserves of pull and this site has the kind of writing that holds up even when I am not at my reading best.

  38. Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at cottonmeadowcraftcollective confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.

  39. Genuine reaction is that I will probably think about this on and off for a few days, and a look at gemcoast added fuel to that, the best content lingers in your head after you close the tab rather than evaporating immediately and this site clearly knows how to write that kind of memorable content.

  40. A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at dawnbrookmarketfoundry maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.

  41. Now setting aside time on my next free afternoon to read more from the archives, and a stop at birchbrookvendorfoundry confirmed that time will be well spent, the rare site whose archive deserves a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the kind of resource worth scheduling around and this one qualifies clearly.

  42. Reading this triggered a small but real correction in something I had assumed, and a stop at createforwarddirection extended that corrective effect, content that updates my beliefs through evidence rather than rhetoric is content with intellectual integrity and this site has earned that label consistently across the pieces I have read so far today.
