I like this Black color Charcoal Lao Sha Bao...yummy....
The Promenade is one of the latest dining places in Bayan Baru.
One of my favorite dishes is the steamed glutinous rice 糯米饭. It is certainly not a dish I expected to find in a restaurant. Unlike the more common lor mai kai, this humble dish of lor mai fan is served with only dried shrimps, roasted peanuts, and spring onions. The sticky rice turned out well with firm chewy texture. Steamed glutinous rice RM7.50nett
The price here is slightly higher than the usual dim sum settings but it was well justified by the quality. Ingredients were fresh and dense, but at the same time we felt it was slightly greasy than usual as well.
The new commercial shop houses- Promenade at Bayan Baru is expecting a new spate of tenants moving in, one of the latest additions- Dim Sum Station did not come across as a proper Dim Sum place. At least I did not find the dark facade with black signage convincing enough but as you push the doors open, you will find yourself in a comfortable, air-conditioned space with new, stylish tables and chairs. While not truly artsy, the interior decor is somewhat convincing and snazzy in its own way. Do not expect the servers to push the Dim Sum carts around and shouting for businesses, the restaurant adopts the cook-to-order concept. You will have to place your orders first and wait patiently for them to serve to your table. When the orders are served, the servers will turn on the built-in steamer on the table to maintain the heat; this is probably one of the most hipster Dim Sum outlets in Penang. With that superior value-added service, expect the prices to be on the higher side but in our opinion, they did deliver the quality and we were contented with what we had. We see this as a decent place for a weekend family meal.
