| - The food is good but the service sucks.
Am a native Malaysian so I know what is real Malaysian food and what is passable. As is with most Malaysians, our main pre-occupation is to eat. So whenever I travel to a different town I look for a good place to eat.
Have been to Penang MC about 5 times this year. So I guess you can say I like the food. My wife loves the dishes there. Sometimes her favorite dish, homemade tofu, is awesome and sometimes just acceptable. There are lots of favs there: char keoy teow, chicken curry, beef rendang, nasi lemak, bak kut teh...
I have not tried their roti chanai....nothing can ever compare, even the best prepared roti here, to the ones made at home: fresh on the giant black iron skillet coated with ghee. And served with a big plastic bowl of curry.
I would give this restaurant 5 stars but cannot because of two things:
Minus one star for one of the worst service, the five times I have gone there I have had the bad luck of getting the same wait person...she does not smile and we have to ask for water or napkins. I can't understand why the she refuses to smile or even look out for things each table needs. She rather text on her phone behind the register. And we are not bad tippers.
Minus one star for not taking credit cards.
At the now closed Satay - Malaysian Grille, the service was great. Food was great. But now they are gone. Too bad.
