Gurney Drive, Suntec City Mall

Gurney Drive has quickly become a popular joint for Penang food. They are very reasonably priced, offer fair and authentic quality and substantial portions, 3 things Singaporeans love and what made this chain successful enough to keep sprouting up branches all over our little island. That's also the reason why we take away from Gurney Drive quite regularly.

The Penang Malay Mee Goreng ($6.90) with a sizable number of fresh seafood, squid and prawns, and chunks of fish cakes and beancurd were fried with scrambled eggs and yellow egg noodles, coated in a sweetish spicy sauce, the typical Chinese style.


The Penang Fried Koay Teow ($6.90) were commendable, with the flat rice noodles fried with a smoky accent. Chinese sausages, prawns, fishcakes, eggs and small but fresh cockles completed the dish.


The best part about the Gurney Nasi Lemak ($5.90) was the very fragrant coconut-flavoured rice, good enough to eat on its own. The side dishes of curry chicken, crispy ikan bilis, a really sad piece of flattened omelette, were alright but ordinary, but the sambal was pretty kickass. Potently spicy but with a heavy hand with the sugar so it was equal parts hot and sweet.
 

We like the Satay ($5.90 for 6 pcs) here, both the chicken and pork, juicy, tender and succulent, accompanied by a nutty spicy peanut dip. The pork differs slightly with a noticeable sliver of fat wedged between the meat skewers.
