Had cravings for Penang food and was glad to chance upon Penang Culture at White Sands Shopping Centre while I visited Pasir Ris.

Penang Culture is under the Gurney Drive (GD) Group of companies, helmed by Penangite Chef Wong Thin Lipp, serving up traditional Penang delicacies such as Penang Laksa, Char Kuey Teow and Curry Noodles, etc. Service was slow but that partially because the outlet is longish in design, spreading across the length of the wall that overlooks the rest of the mall below.

We wasted no time in ordering.

The White Curry Noodle with Seafood (SGD$8.95) came with a rich gravy and was generously loaded with ingredients such as succulent chicken, springy shrimps, cockles  cuttlefish and dried beancurd (taupok). The latter soaked up the delicious curry gravy and was really fun to bite into, feeling the curry explosion in our mouths. One could opt for yellow noodles, vermicelli ( beehoon) or a mixture thereof.

The Penang Assam Laksa (SGD$7.95) was a traditional dish of flavorful spicy and sour gravy, sardine fish, sour mango slivers, onions and cut chilli. This was a very appetizing dish. They also have the Salmon version which I should try the next time.

Finally, Nutmeg Drink (SGD$4.95) which was aromatic with nutmeg's sweet, slightly tangy hints.

All in all, we found Penang Culture to be rather satisfying in terms of food, variety and service; it's a nice place to fill the tummy at affordable pricing.
