Thai Cuisine in Auto-City (mainland of Penang)


We were in AutoCity for a visit and had lunch in one of the many restaurants in the huge complex.


We chose one of the IndoChine Restaurant & Sensation Chain " Golden Triangle Restaurant


The Golden Triangle Restaurant is located in 1808-1809 Jalan Perusahaan Autocity, North-South Highway, Juru Interchange, 13600 Prai, Penang.


The decor is typically Thai as it serves Thai Cuisine

Vegetable dish - Fried KaiLan

Melon Cake

Thai Fish Cake

Otak-Otak served in fresh coconut

Pineapple Rice

Tom Yam Soup

The Thai food served is average and nothing to shout about. The Vegetable dish and the Tom Yam Soup are very salty. Apart from the atmosphere and decor, the lunch is quite a disappointment.

Penang Hawker Food : Chendol

We had our afternoon dessert in this outlet in the ground floor of Pranglin Mall next to the Komtar building in Penang.

The famous Penang Chendol can be found in Penang Road or in this outlet in the Shopping Mall.



The Penang CHENDOL


This is one of the best dessert we had in Penang during our recent visit to Penang, the Chendol. It is really good and you can have it sitting down in the outlet rather than standing in the Penang Road pushcart.
