Tai Tong Restaurant
There is something uniquely comforting about Tai Tong Restaurant in Georgetown, Penang. It is not about frills or fancy presentations but about nostalgia and an authentic dim sum experience. Opened in the 1950s, this old-school Cantonese eatery remains a favourite amongst locals and tourists alike.
The clatter of bamboo steamers, the bustling pushcarts loaded with steaming delights, and the slightly chaotic charm of the dining area all make for an unforgettable dim sum experience. Bao, Siu Mai, Har Gao and Cheong Fun are staples, while their deep-fried creations add a delightful crunch to the meal. Service might lack polish (you refill your own teapot here), but the honest flavours and buzzing vibe make up for it.
This is not fine dining, but it is where tradition and simplicity meet in the most delicious way.
