Chao Taofu at Tang Steamboat & BBQ restaurant, Penang


I always proud of being a Penangite especially comes to food. Today we accidentally found this taiwanese restaurant in Ragoon Road. What attract us is the signboard - Chao taofu and ma lat steamboat. We never know there too chao taufu in Penang, what a surprise !! 


We were shocked with setting ! It totally gave us a very different feeling, something we had it while we were in Taiwan. Cozy and it is a good place for gathering. Not too quite and not too noise. hmm..sound like my statement quite contradict. 

Again to our surprise, this Tang Steamboat exist in this town for more than 13 years. The owner is a Singaporean while his wife is a Taiwanese. 
While waiting for the food..
Tang Steamboat serves buffet steamboat. The waitress is cute and friendly. Besides it only cost RM 26 per person, which is quite reasonable. 


Above are recommended and new dishes. There are many more choice in their regular menu. The waitress was trying to warn us as we order both spicy soup, ma lat and tom yam. 

To be frank, I don't like the tom yum. It doesn't taste like tom yum and the ma lat soup don't taste spicy. Maybe we are too use to take chile padi as snack at home. 
yum yum..
Teppan yaki fried dumpling, not too oily, just nice and crispy !
Beef slice, a must for steamboat
Chao taofu, lickin' good
For chao tau fu, I got to say that it is the best compare with what I had in Cheras, KL and Shilin night market, Taipei. The surface of chao taofu is crispy while inner is juicy. Not like Cheras night market, too dried and it taste like biscuit more than taofu. I will definately recommended this to a few friends. Again I feel so proud of Penang, even our chao taofu is much better than others. shiok sendiri again..hei hei
what a satisfy Saturday nite
Tiramisu Ice-cream cake, making the dinner even more perfect !!

Chao taofu, I shall come back again
All of sudden, my mind came across this fact-My God is the god who is able to turn the worst condition to a good outcome. After the destruction of Babel Tower, there came Chinese. Without the invention of Chinese, there will be no chao taofu exist. Cheers to my God !
