    Today’s lunch at Xin Yee Restaurant with dear friends. We ordered Set Menu A for lunch. Overall Taste is good for all the dishes and the portion is big.

    We ended up at Xin Yee Restaurant after church, following Sharon and Queenie’s recommendation—they’ve been here several times and kept raving about it.

    I just reach Penang and this is my first meal in Penang. I'm so lucky to dine here. Any restaurant I first visit, I will order food with spicy, sour, salty, sweet flavors to see how well the chef could manage.

    Chap Goh Mei dinner with wifey. Initial thought was to have western food for dinner. Last minute change plan and stumbled upon this marvelous chu char place. We ordered 3 dishes. Will be my favorite dinner spot.

    The food overall tastes not bad. The milk soup with fish fillet was decent, but it lacked a rich, milky flavor. The salted egg tofu was tasty and well done. The chives roll was slightly on the oily side.

    We were planning to go to a restaurant well-known on maps, but it was fully booked. So we searched for another nearby Chinese restaurant, and Xin Ye Restaurant came up.

    An exceptional meal. We ordered the tofu with minced pork, brinjal with minced pork, and lobak, and every dish was cooked beautifully. The tofu was soft and comforting, the brinjal full of flavour without being oily, and the lobak crisp…

    One of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever been to, and I'd just spent four weeks in China. The food was different from what you get in China, but still very good. I highly recommend the Mapo Tofu and Gong Bao Chicken!

    Delicious, flavourful and well-portioned food served extremely fast, great selection and reasonably priced, especially for the lunch menu which we had. I had Kam Heong mantis shrimp and Nam Joo pork belly, both excellent.

    Perfect for the friendly service from owner boy and then very reasonable cheaper price for the package meal for 3 to 4 person. The fish soup is the recommendation. Tips: Need advance booking during peak season.

    Service was very good and affordable. The food didn’t make me feel thirsty afterward, which is great. However, hygiene could be improved. When I walked past the kitchen on the way to the restroom, it looked a bit messy
