Char Kuey Teow, Fried Oyster, Loh Bak, these are a few of the local cuisine that Penang has to offer, and every time I'm back to my hometown there will surely be one food trip to try these out. Of course, I do not have them daily as these dishes are deep fried and definately not good for the body if taken excessively, but they are delicious though! This round, my family and I decided to drop by for an early dinner over at Red Garden Food Paradise, a cafe / food court type of place which serves both local and international cuisine located at Leith Street, Penang.

No. 20, Leith Street,

Red Garden Food Paradise is located near upper Penang road, which is very near to the happening night spots of Penang. We were there in the early evening, so the night crowd haven't arrived yet. I was told this place is heavily packed in the night due to the food as well as the live singer and band performances.

| The Loh Bak stall |
What striked me as being rather interesting was the fact that the Loh Bak stall had prepared so much food in advance. This kind of proves that his business is really good, if not the owner wouldn't have prepared so many "loh baks". We immediately took to order out Penang favourites. Check out the photos below on what we had that evening.
 |
| #1 Loh Bak (Assorted Meat) - RM16 |
 |
| #2 Char Kuey Teow - RM 4 |
 |
| #3 Fried Oyster - RM8 |
 |
| #4 Hokkien Prawn Mee - RM4 |
The dishes were pretty good, except for the Loh Bak which I felt was really pricey at RM16 as we didn't take that much meat anyway. The Fried Oyster was a tad too oily for comfort, but they do serve these really huge oysters. Personally I would prefer slightly smaller oysters as these tasted too strong. The Char Kuey Teow and Prawn Mee was just normal, nothing much to shout about as I have had better ones elsewhere.

There you have it,
Red Garden Food Paradise. If you're over in Penang at night, this is a must go place. Well at least that's what my Penang friends tell me. The ambiance at night should be way better with live performances and all.
