Gurney Drive

One of several restaurants that opened on the 5^th level of Causeway Point in Woodlands, Singapore, after a major renovation/​upgrade to the center. It was one of the things that I had to try at least once the moment they opened as there were only so much options in this «in-​the-​middle-​of-​nowhere» town. Hailing their culinary roots from food-​haven Penang, they are the «restaurant» version of the beloved hawker food dining that many have come to love and dedicated their palates to.
Yet, like many foods that are transported away from «homeland», it is but a replica — similar but nowhere close to the original. Does it involve a lack in ingredients? While it is the case with other culinary forms, this is not the culprit here.
Alas, just amateurs here compared to the original culinary giants in Penang. Still worth trying if you’re in Singapore and don’t ever consider yourself visiting Malaysia anytime soon.
NOTE:
Portions are TINY. Service is *surprisingly* fast and friendly. Food is just… okay.
