Gurney Drive @ Jubilee Square

Today i meet up with my ex-colleagues in Ang Mo Kio and we was scouting for a decent place for dinner when we chance upon Gurney Drive at the new Jubilee Square. It is a small restaurant selling Penang food and we decided to give it a try. I ordered a total of 3 dishes, the Hokkien Prawn Mee as the main course, the Penang Side Dish Platter for sharing and Ice Kachang for dessert.

Penang Hokkien Prawn Mee

The Hokkien Prawn Mee is really nice, particularly the soup. The soup are thick and rich in flavour and the prawns are quite fresh. The ingredients also include pork ribs and overall it is not too spicy.

Penang Side Dish Platter

We ordered the Side Dish Platter so that we can tried the various side dishes without ordering them individually. It consist of Lor Bak (which is something like ngor hiong), Cheese Tofu, Belacan Chicken Wing and Lemon Mantis Prawn. All the four side dishes are quite ok and is a good side dish for a small group, as all the side dishes come with 4 pieces each, except or the Lemon Mantis Prawn.

Penang Ice Kachang

I order the Ice Kachang as dessert as I saw that it has peanut in it. However, the peanut just occupy a small corner of the ice kachang. In addition, there is shedded nutmeg in it and I personally dislike the taste. Overall it is just like the usual ice kachang and I am slightly disappointed with it.

The price is still quite affordable as we managed to order some foods without breaking the $20 mark even with the GST and service charges. Excepted for the ice kachang, I also enjoy most of my food and it is a place where I will not mind coming back again.
