Lunch at Red Chopsticks on Father's Day

Red Chopsticks Restaurant (19 June 2016)


My wife and I had a wonderful lunch at Red Chopsticks Restaurant on 19 June, 2016. It was made even more memorable because we were having lunch with Datuk Lim Bian Yam, who is regarded as Penang's Living Heritage Treasure. Datuk Lim is the mentor to Red Chopsticks owner Tee Peck Siang. It was through him that she learned and improved upon her cooking skills, and even today, many of the recipes at Red Chopsticks are derived from what she learned at Datuk Lim's cooking class.

The day being Father's Day, Red Chopsticks was full house on that day, with all tables taken. For our lunch, Peck Siang had prepared a large selection of items. Considering there were ten of us, we have a chance to try out many items. Let me show them to you right here.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
