Dinner at Granny's Cottage, Gurney Plaza

Dinner at Granny's Cottage, Gurney Plaza (12 July 2019)


My wife and I were thrilled to be invited back to dinner at Wai Po Jia Granny's Cottage 外婆家, a restaurant serving authentic Penang homecooked food, at Gurney Plaza, Penang. The restaurant has just completed a full makeover (a requirement by the shopping mall after they finished a 5-year contract). As a result, the restaurant now has an entirely new look.

The walls of Granny's Cottage is decked with memorabilia of yesteryear. There are framed pieces of tiles similar to those you would find in George Town prewar townhouses. On one corner, the owner displays a collection of antique plates that are over half a century old. There is also a pair of window shutters, now nicely repainted, hanged on the wall. It is at least 80 years old.

We had a lovely dinner that could have passed as something from a homecook kitchen. They include Pork Trotter with Vinegar, French Bean with Minced Pork, Spring Rolls, Salted Egg Yolk Chicken Cutlets, Deep-fried Pork Fillet with Red Fermented Beancurd and Radish Pork Rib Soup. For the dessert, we had Hot Soya Milk with Rice Balls and Iced Aiyu Jelly. The meal was so tasty, that I finished a second helping of rice.

It was truly a lovely dinner. If you would enjoy Penang's popular home dishes, you are going to enjoy a trip to Granny's Cottage. Now let me show you what we had.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public.

I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
