This is the highlighted dish of th3 restaurant - sweet and sour pork spare ribs, one that you shouldn't leave without trying one.The pork ribs are deep fried in their special recipe to come out fall-off-the- bone tender. It is then poured with sweet and sour sauce on top . It makes the dish taste so nice and great when eat with rice. However, the dish is quite small, for bigger family, you might want to order more to avoid squabbling over the puny pieces of pork spare ribs.The service was good

Everytime we visit this restaurant, i would have the captain to take our order, He is a very nice guy and friendly. This is another dish that recommended by the him , it is “ 扁鱼菠菜”, fried spinach with fish (named Oval flounder).The spinach is very soft compare to other types of vegetables, easy to chew and digest. The fish that cooked with the spinach makes the dish taste sweet. The fish is crunchy but its chewing hard.

It is a nice restaurant to have Chinese cruisine with family and friends. I had this Curry fish with bread which is one of my favourite. The curry i ordered comes with a big pomfret fish and cost RM 65 which enough for 4. There are other types of fish as well and the price is depends on the weight of the fish and market price of the day. The curry was nice as it taste a little of sour instead of just spicy. Hence it mixed well with their special homemade ‘mantou’ bread that taste sweet. The cu

I love dessert. The sweeter, typically the better!So here they are.The dessert ''tong sui'' with the sweet biscuits or what's it called.Firstly, the ''tong sui'' is sweet enough to my liking.It consists of jellies, longans and tiny pieces of ices.Overall, a very sweet and refreshing drinks to have after having dinner definitely.Next, the sweet biscuits.Sweetness level is average.Very crispy and nice to eat together with the ''tong sui''.Thumbs up!

To be honest, I totally hate this dish.First of all, I forget what's it call.But, what I knew is, its make out from rice and is brown in colour The rice is very hard.Even I could not swallow the rice easily.There are a lot of vegetables in it which is completely opposite to my liking.I honestly think that the smell of the rice is quite nice until its in your mouth Overall, I will never ever recommend this dish even for once!!

I find that this dish is very interesting.I enjoy the gravy of the mushroom a lot.It just simply taste so good. The mushroom is very soft and fresh.The portion is huge too.The gravy was quite thick yet a little sweet at the same time.It goes very well with mushroom.On the other hand, the mushrooms are a little different than a lot of other restaurants offers.The texture is very soft and once you eat it, you feel like want another one.

To be honest, this is just another disappointing dish at Chinese Recreation Club ( CRC ) to me.Roasted ChickenWhy did I find this dish so disappointing?Well, the chicken is very hard to bite and even to swallow.I don't find that the chicken is very fresh as well.The taste of the roasted chicken is also just so-so and absolutely not worthyfor the price customers had to pay.I bet even the roadside stalls serve better roasted chicken then what they serve!Overall, a disappointing and not value for t

First of all, I believe that Chinese Recreation Club ( CRC ) serve one of the best dishes in town but I strongly disagree with this particular shark fin soup.Shark Fin Soup (鱼翅)I actually find that the shark fin soup is a huge disappointment to me.I do not like the taste nor the smell at all.Although a lot of people who try this dish love it, but I totally hate it!Well, what's in the shark fin soup?There are the crab meats, fishes and other types of ingredients.I can hardly remember because I am

Chinese Recreation Club ( CRC ) is actually can be say as one of the most well-known and best Chinese restaurant in Penang Island.CRC is located along Macalister Road and Burma Road.Steam fish First of all, I did notice that their fish is fresher compared to a lot of other restaurants.The steam fish is serves hot with tasty soy sauce mixture and garnished with plenty ofonions and celery leaves as well.Overall, I find that the fish meat is indeed very soft yet juicy at the same time. The gravy of

Cold Dessert of Honey Dew with Sago - RM8We ended the night with some nice sweet cold dessert of Honey Dew with Sago. It came in a big bowl enough to serve up to 6 people, with lots of froth because of the freshly prepared honey dew. I requested the sugar syrup to be separated so we could actually adjust the sweetness of our dessert as we wish. A good end indeed, with a dish of my favourite fruit, the honey dew.

Sweet and Sour Pork Spare Ribs - RM20As for the Sweet and Sour Pork Spare Ribs, I ordered it after doing a search up the internet on what is good here, and CRC's Pork Spare Ribs was recommended. It wasn't bad, just a tad too sour for my liking. I' not sure why, but I prefer my sweet and sour dishes to be more sweet than sour. Here I think CRC put a tad too much lime or lemon to the dish, giving out a really sour taste to the dish. As for the texture, i have always liked pork spare ribs as they a

Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet - RM20Sweet and sour fish has always been my favourite dish no matter where I dine in, and here it was no different. Initially we wanted one whole fish, fried with sweet and sour sauce, but CRC Restaurant did not have it, hence we had to settle for fish fillet instead.The fish itself was pretty fresh, and tasted sweet and good. But i didn't really like the texture of it, it was a tad too soft. I would have preffered my fish fillet to be crispy on the outside and yummy

Stir Fried Kai Lan Vegetables with salted fish and garlic - RM15The Stir Fried Kai Lan was good with the fresh kailan vegetables stir fired with garlic and salted fish. The garlic brought a unique taste to the dish, and coupled with salted fish, the whole dish had this salty savoury goodness to it. My favourite vegetable is actually the kai lan, the young types which were actually sweet when taken freshly cooked. Good stuff here at CRC restaurant.

Chinese Recreation Club Restaurant or better known as CRC Restaurant in Padang Victoria, Penang is nothing new to the folks in Penang. Numerous wedding dinners, company functions, and family "makan-makan" have been held here throughout the yearsThe claypot tofu dish that came here, had a variety of vegetables and mushrooms all served in savoury sauce inside a big claypot. The mushrooms were cooked to perfection, as was the tofu, which went really well with the rice. One of my favourite vegetable
