Kake Udon カケうどん (Rm 8.90 – Small; Rm 10.90 – Large) Hot udon in broth topped with thinly sliced green onions and slices of kamaboko. The classic soy udon which wow us the most. It was simple but it gave the best flavour.
High quality, healthy and affordable, it's a staple food in the land of the rising sun.
Nagisa Tei is probably one of Penang's best-kept secrets, the secretive Japanese Udon parlor is housed in an ordinary-typical terrace house along Tanjung Bungah. It's not a one-trick pony, it churns out excellent Tempura dishes as well. The Japanese Chef (likely expats living in Penang) makes his own Udon noodles but the menu is small, it offers a small but carefully selected Udon choices. The dining area is at the end of the house and offers breath-taking sea view (the terrace house connects to the public beach); Nagisa Tei is probably the only Japanese Udon parlor in Penang that offers such an atmosphere. Though air-conditioner is not available, the sea breeze will keep any heat-intolerant cool. While we love the outdoorsy-beachy atmosphere, we thought the noodles were disappointingly average. If you are looking for a quiet place or to escape the mall-crowd, Nagisa Tei might be an option for you.
Miyatake Sanuki Udon’s noodles are well known for their quality, and it is also sold in supermarkets around the world. The noodles are made from wheat that has been carefully selected and milled at their factory in Sanuki, giving them a sumptuous, strong-bodied flavour. You can taste the fragrant aroma of wheat, and it is by far one of the chewiest udon noodles that I’ve tasted. If you like chewy noodles, this will be right up your alley.
