Thai Beef Noodles @ Sukhothai Beef Noodles House, Burmah Road, Penang. (Pork Free)

The restaurant is named after Sukhothai which is one of the north central provinces of Thailand and also carries the meaning of "Dawn of Happiness'. Sukhothai was founded by Pho Khun Sri Indraditya in the 13th century on the fringe of Khmer Empire.

Within this year, surprisingly a number of Thailand Restaurants have sprung up in Pulau Tikus area and Sukhothai Beef Noodles House is one of latest.

Sukhothai Beef Noodles House is situated along the business two way traffic of Jalan Burmah. As you travell along Jalan Burmah from George Town, you can never miss Wisma Perkeso which is painted with blue color at the T-junction of Burmah Road & Codrington Avenue on your left hand side and the restaurant is exactly diagonally opposite. It is located at No. 238, Jalan Burmah, 10350 George Town, Penang beside Clinic Bala.

No. 05 : From Left to Right - Thai Style Iced Green Tea and Sweet & Sour Roselie Juice
Thai Style Iced Green Tea without Milk @ RM3.90 per Glass
Thai Style Iced Green Tea with Milk @ RM4.90 per Glass
Sweet & Sour Roselie Juice @ RM4.90 per Glass

The Drinks are not diluted and semi-thick. The taste of Sour Roseline Juice is very similar to our local cordial syrup drink 'Ribena Grapes'. It is very refreshing and thirst-quenching drink. Mixing Green Tea together with Milk which will give you a amazing taste.

No. 06 : Thai Sauces - Dried Chili Powder, Fish Sauce, Sugar and Wet Chili Paste

No. 07 : Closed Up View of Dried Chili Powder - Dried Chilies are sun dried, toasted and ground

It is mainly used to add to flavour/spice to soups and noodles.

 
No. 08 : Closed Up View of Wet Chili Paste is very tangy and spicy
Cautious !!! It is very hot and spicy

No. 09 : Sukhothai Beef Noodles (Original) served with Beef Meat Balls, Small Chuck of Beef Meats, Beef Tendons and Chopped Coriander
RM12.90 per Bowl
Note : Sukhothai Beef Noodles are available with 3 Choices of Noodles (i.e. Original, Glass Noodles or Instant Noodles)

Rating of the Taste : 4/5
Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Very Good)

I love the 3 different textures of beef. Be rest assured that the small chuck of beef meats and beef tendons are tender. Besides that it does not have heavy scent of beef. The soup is made of fish sauce, selected herbs and beef stock. I was told by the owner of the restaurant that a few pieces of rock sugar is added into it to make soup taste with mild sweetness. You may add Dried Chili Powder as condiment to the soup and also to make it more spicy.

The Americans call it by it's Spanish name 'Cilantro' while the English call it 'Coriander'. It refer to the same herb. The leaves are commonly used to garnish soups. Coriander yield a very strong smell and taste and I have found that not many people really love it.

No. 10 : A Basket of Raw Bean Sprouts and Thai Basil Leaves

A basket full of raw bean sprouts and thai basil leaves are provided for those who wish to add to their Beef Noodles or Fish Maw Soups.

 
No. 11 : Sukhothai Beef Noodles (Glass Noodles) served with Beef Meat Balls, Small Chuck of Beef Meats, Beef Tendon and Chopped Coriander
RM12.90 per Bowl




Note : Sukhothai Beef Noodles are available with 3 Choices of Noodles (i.e. Original, Glass Noodles or Instant Noodles)

Rating of the Taste : 4/5
Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Very Good)

The Chef is using the same soup base for this dish but with Glass Noodles ('Tang Hoon'). The taste is slightly very similar to Japanese Sukiyaki Beef because of mild sweetness but unfortunately you will not find any slices beef instead of small chuck of beef meats. The Cellophane noodles aka Glass Noodles go well with the soup and also are truely irresistible! Do not miss out this dish when you are dining there.

No. 12 : Fish Maw Soup
RM19.90 per Pot

Rating of the Taste : 4/5
Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Very Good)

The taste of this Fish Maw Soup reminded me of the Thai Style Shark Fin Soup when I stepped into Hatyai Town of Thailand which is a city in southern Thailand near the Malaysian Border in the early 70s. Fish Maws are used instead of using Shark Fins which will save millions of sharks from being finned each year. Not forgetting to add Raw Bean Sprouts and Thai Basil Leaves into the mini pot.

No. 13 : Pad Thai
RM12.90 per Plate

Rating of the Taste : 4/5
Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Very Good)


No. 13 : Thai Fried Rice served with Shrimps, Chopped Spring Onions, Slices of Cucumber & Tomato, Egg and Thins Slices of Chinese Sausage.
RM12.90 per Plate

Rating of the Taste : 4/5
Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Very Good)

The Cooked Thai Rice is used for this dish. The look of this dish is very similar to the Chinese Golden Fried Rice by using egg yolks only to create this dish. While frying the rice, fish sauce was added and the result was amazing -  bursting with flavour.


No. 14 : Thai Dessert - Mango Sticky Rice served with Slices of Ripened Yellowish Mango, Black Glutinous Rice/Black Sticky Rice (Chut-Bi - used to make Bee Koh Moy) and Sticky Rice together with fresh coconut milk (santan)

Rating of the Taste : 4/5
Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Very Good)

No. 15 : Thai Dessert - Banana Sago served with Sago, Coconut Milk and Slices of Banana
RM4.90 per Bowl

Rating of the Taste : 4/5
Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Very Good)

This Banana Sago is creamy with coconut milk and sweet. If you love Bubur Cha-Cha you will definately enjoying eating this as your dessert after finishing your main course.

No. 16 : Thai Dessert - Durian Sticky Rice served with
RM8.90 per Bowl

Rating of the Taste : 4/5
Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Very Good)

Durian Sticky Rice is BEST served chilled. Durian Lovers will find it a GREAT TREAT. The Taste is AWESOME !!! This is a MUST try Dessert for those who love durian.
