PEN Day 1 │ RED GARDEN Food Paradise

Back at Our Favourite Food Court

After an evening walkabout to and from KOMTAR, hunger struck once more — and naturally, we found ourselves at our favourite food court, the ever lively Red Garden. With its wide variety of hawker stalls, clean layout, and a small stage offering nightly entertainment, it remains one of the most enjoyable places to dine in Georgetown.

We were genuinely glad to see Red Garden emerge from the pandemic relatively unscathed and buzzing with life again.

What We Ordered

After making several rounds to inspect the many cuisines on offer, we finally settled on:

• Fried Oyster Omelette (small) — RM15.00

• Char Kueh Teow with Duck Egg — RM9.00

• Mushroom Pork Chop — RM18.00

• Tiger Beer (small bottle) — RM10.00

• Double Orange Juice — RM6.00

• Iced Lemon Tea — RM3.00

*Char Kueh Teow is a stir fried Chinese inspired rice noodle dish from Maritime Southeast Asia. In Hokkien, “char” means stir fried, while “kueh teow” refers to flat rice noodles.

A Princely Penang Dinner

Our hearty Penang feast came to RM61.00 (≈ USD14/EUR13), which we felt was very reasonable — especially considering we had oysters and beer. If you’re looking for a lively spot with good food, great atmosphere, and sometimes wonderfully eclectic entertainment, Red Garden never disappoints.

A Small Reminder

While masks are now optional outdoors, they are still mandatory indoors. Stay safe and considerate.
