Decent Beef Rendang — nothing more, nothing less

Beef Rendang at this place was fine. The richly spiced and coconut-sweet flavour was there but not distinguished. galangal was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

Penang is considered the food capital of Malaysia and rivals Singapore for hawker excellence. The a Penang hawker stall setting was generic rather than immersive. teh tarik was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Beef Rendang it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
