Certain
foods,
like
noodles,
hearty
greens
such
as
cabbage,
and
lentils,
symbolize
good
fortune
in
the
new
year.
After
downing
some
bubbly
and
sweet
treats
on
New
Year's
Eve,
my
partner,
our
friends
and
I
started
2023
off
right
with
some
New
Year's
good-luck
foods
promising
wealth,
prosperity
and
good
fortune.
In
many
Asian
countries,
people
eat
long
noodles
on
New
Year's
Day
to
lengthen
their
life
which
we
decided
to
come
to
our
friend’s
establishment
located
in
East
Hanover.
Called
ahead
to
Penang
Malaysian
Thai
restaurant
making
a
reservation
for
an
early
dinner
tonight.
We
were
greeted
by
the
staff
and
the
owner,
Hook.
When
one
looks
at
their
menu,
it’s
a
mixture
of
Malaysian
🇲🇾
and
Thai
🇹🇭cuisine.
For
starters,
we
decided
on
our
go-to
Roti
Canei
(all-time
favorite
Malaysian
crispy
indian
style
pancake
served
with
curry
chicken
as
dipping
sauce,
Penang
Satay
(marinated
beef
on
skewers
served
with
peanut
sauce)
and
the
Thai
spring
rolls
(deep
fried
rolls
stuffed
with
cabbage,
bean
thread,
carrot
and
shrimp
served
with
plum
sauce).
For
entrees,
we
got
Hokkien
Char
Mee
)thick
yellow
noodles
cooked
in
heavily
a
flavored
soy
sauce
with
pork,
shrimp
squid
and
vegetables,
Beef
Chow
fun
(stir
fried
flat
noodles
in
special
sauce
with
beef,
scallion
and
bean
sprouts),
Seafood
Pan
fried
noodles
(Cantonese
Style)
consisting
of
Pan
fried
noodles
in
light
brown
egg
sauce
topped
with
seafood
and
vegetables,
Beef
with
Ginger
and
Scallion
&
Malaysian
Buddhist
Delight
consists
of
mixed
vegetables
with
bean
curd
skin
and
chinese
mushrooms
in
a
chef's
special
sauce.
All
dishes
were
authentic,
tasty
and
delicious
but
the
beef
with
ginger
could
have
used
a
bit
more
soy
sauce.
The
portions
were
big
for
a
reasonable
price.
We
continue
to
recommend
this
place.
