I was extremely surprised and impressed with this tiny restaurant. I mean, never would I expect that a small stall that has only 5 tables and located in a shopping mall could ever serve good food, but i was really blown away. The Loh bak here is the best I’ve tasted i the Klang Valley and their asam laksa is rather generous on the fish taste. Their cendol was refreshingly piled full of goodies. I learnt a really good lesson to not judge a book by its cover

It is a small restaurant found in KL Festival City, it is easily hidden due to its location lies in between a decent Korean restaurant and a Taiwan cuisine restaurant(Shih Lin snack). However, it is not surprising for one to discover Penang Xpress by good smell of its food! Petite in size, this restaurant can serve up to 20(approximately) customers at one time. Featuring the famous Malaysian food like Nasi Lemak, Laksa, Fried Kuey Teow, Malay kuih, you can always curb your hunger for delicious Malaysian food. I tried both Nasi Lemak with Rendang chicken and Fried Kuey Teow, the taste is excellent. Have no complaint on the taste but the food is slightly overpriced. Ranging from RM7.50 to above RM10 per selection. However, you need to take into account of its location in a shopping mall. You can’t demand for price on par with those on street. Laksa can be better in taste. The soup is not thick enough and as a spicy lover, I crave for laksa soup with fragrance and exciting spicy sensation! But, if you are not a spicy lover, this may be good enough for you. The restaurant is small in size and the kitchen is situated really close to the dining areas. So, if you dislike getting yourself stained with smell of Malaysian food, you might need a plan B. Else, if you are excited to tell the world that you’ve been for Malaysian food, by all means, savour the great taste of Penang Xpress.
