The first main was Pumpkin Porridge. We spooned our way around the bowl filled with pumpkin porridge, along with chicken floss, white fish, puff rice, kampung egg yolk, braised peanuts, and spring onions. The clever play of condiments so essential in Chinese porridge combined well to offer a light yet fulfilling dish.
Threadfin with fermented Cabbage finished with White Peppercorn broth and Coriander Oil. A dish that we could enjoy meaty, succulent fish with delicious broth.
Reasons to visit Gen Georgetown: to experience a vast array of possibilities for pushing the boundaries of contemporary Malaysian cuisine; over 90% of ingredients used come from Penang island itself; well-chosen wine partners.
