Wong Kok Kitchen Prangin Mall Penang

Wong Kok Kitchen, now this franchise is a familiar name in Malaysia, and it so happened that I dropped by one of its restaurant outlet in Prangin Mall, Penang with my family last weekend. We were quite tired from all the shopping done so any restaurant with a comfy atmosphere with nice seats was welcomed immediately.

I found the location of Wong Kok Kitchen quite unique as it was a hanging structure on the 3rd floor with an open overhead space. My father was quite worried that someone from the upper floors would throw something down and hit us. I informed him the chances of it happening were low as the upper floors grills were far away from where we were sitting.

The menu which were quite confusing at times

One thing I have to note, the menus that came to us were in so many pieces that we were so confused and did not know what to order. Coupled with the fact that the meals had promotions which if we were to add a further RM 4.90 we would be getting a drink, soup and dessert. Confusing as hell but we managed to order eventually. Check out some of the pictures I managed to snap of our meal that night.

Grilled Pork Chop Meal - RM 10.50

Grilled Pork Chop with Spaghetti - RM 10.50
Wong Kok Kitchen
Japanese Curry Fried Rice - RM 6.50
Wong Kok Kitchen
Luncheon Meat with Fried Egg Rice - RM 9.50
Wong Kok Kitchen
Chinese Tea - RM 1.40

I'm going to show what are we got for RM 4.90 add-on (the drink, soup and dessert). It was quite worth it as we saved on the cost of the drinks. Check it out below.
 
Wong Kok Kitchen
Iced Milo (included in the RM 4.90 add-on)
Wong Kok Kitchen
Chinese Soup (included in the RM 4.90 add-on)
Wong Kok Kitchen
Dessert, ice cream with cake (included in the RM 4.90 add-on)
Wong Kok Kitchen
Iced Milk Tea (included in the RM 4.90 add-on)

Overall it was a good meal, but I was kind of disappointed with the taste of the food. Somehow the food does not live up to the standards that Penang Food has attained. Also, the tables were rather cramped. There were 5 of us at the table, but I keep hitting the leg of my brother who was sitting immediately in front of me. To sum it up, good meal, not great, filling but not satisfying.

  4. Why the Chinese tea so dark colour one? Remind me of the extreme bitter herbal tea. And why the ice cream look more like a pau than an ice cream? And the cake is rather dry. The soup also look like leftover. And that sausage in your grill pork chop with spaghetti look like hangus already. And the egg in the gril pork chop meal, the egg yolk smeared, so unappealing. Judging from the photos itself, I can say that its kinda below average. And I hate restaurant that serve drinks with disposable plastic cup, look rather cheap. Even normal Chinese restaurant serve in ceramic cup or plastic cup.
    Sometimes it makes me think that those rather expensive chain restaurant, franchise or what ever don't have quality food just overly promoted.

  5. Supia, actually you're right! Wahahaha, I wasn't exactly impressed with this restaurant. But what to do, it was either this, or fast food chains such as KFC or McD.. Haha. If it was up to me, I wanted to walk outside to the coffeeshops for my char kuey teow with duck eggs, but parents were too tired and we just stopped by the nearest.

    Anyway I dont think the soup was really leftovers! LOL.

  10. Aiyor...if I go to Penang, I would hit the hawker stalls and enjoy the hawker food...or the nasi kandar/mamak shops (We don't have them here!). I would not want to go to places like this, in KL maybe. Food looks good though...and not expensive.
