    On our second day in Penang, we decided to go yum cha at dinner time. Went to Tai Tong Restaurant on Cintra Street, which is one of the oldest and most established dim sum restaurants in town.

    Opened in the 1950s, this Cantonese eatery has since become a Penang favourite. Its interior is consistently packed, with queues being common around breakfast. Plates are served traditionally, with staff members wheeling dim sum pushcarts from table to table.

    Unlike most modern dim sum restaurants, part of the fun here is the traditional trolley service. Staff push carts loaded with freshly prepared dim sum around the dining room, and you simply pick whatever catches your eye.

    Below average food but at reasonable prices. No aircon but not stuffy. Overall not worth the hype and journey. Much better dim sum most anywhere in SG. Maybe can match army food in the 90s

    The taste is great, and everything is made to order, which is fantastic. It's great value for money and you should definitely try it. Compared to prices in China, it's very affordable, and the taste is excellent.
