    Restoran Zim Sum has moved from Anson Road to Macalister Road for a while before we make a visit to it there. We enjoyed our meal at Restoran Zim Sum very much, so much so that we returned to it a few days later.

    It is Saturday, almost 9:30 a.m., and Restoran Zim Sum is full of families eating breakfast. Penang resident Awee tells me this restaurant is always crowded thanks to its location on George Town’s main artery, Macalister Road.

    The place is super spacious and the line moves really fast, so we don't have to wait long until it's our turn. The dim sum is super packed, the size is also big and it tastes really delicious. The fish fillet bee hoon is also excellent!

    This is the place to start the day, has many dim sum options with reasonable prices. If arrived early, no need to wait for the table, but if you come late, you need to wait for table arrangements.
