Penang Noodles in District 2 serves up authentic Malaysian dishes<\/h2>\n
\n

Every country gives us different reasons to visit it. When it comes to Malaysia<\/a>, it’s the year-round warm climates, sandy beaches, a dynamic culture, and good food that attract visitors year-round.<\/p>\n

However, as the COVID-19 situation persists in many countries, a trip to Malaysia is not viable for the moment. The good news is, you don’t have to fly to Malaysia to try the country’s vastly different and distinctive cuisines.<\/p>\n

For those who are in the mood for the strong and spicy flavors of Malaysian food, Penang Noodles<\/strong> in District 2 is your next stop.<\/p>\n

For an authentic Malaysian breakfast, order Kaya Toast VND25,000 (~USD1.08)<\/strong>. Think toasted slices of bread with generous slabs of butter, served with cad\u00e9<\/em>, a sweet paste made of coconut cream and egg yolk.<\/p>\n

Steeped in flavorful broth, consider Wanton Noodles (VND38,000,~USD1.65)<\/strong>, a dish garnished with tender dumplings, char siew pork, and bok choy for a scrumptious lunch. If you’re not a broth drinker, you can opt for the equally tasty ‘dry’ version – with tossed noodles in a special sauce – and a small bowl of soup on the side.<\/p>\n
