九龍冰室 • Nine Dragon Char Chan Teng • Butterworth • Penang in Penang

"Clean and comfortable environment with a very friendly manager. The beef hor fun is okay, perhaps lacking a touch in seasoning but quite a generous portion. Mostly I’m happy to find somewhere near to me I can buy this dish - a controversial take in Malaysia, but I prefer it to char kway teow! The polo bun was too crispy and a bit dry. I’ve been back since and found the manager very helpful and accommodating when making requests for small customisations to a dish."

"Good dining experience at Nine Dragon Cafe. The staff are friendly and provide prompt, attentive service. The menu offers a great variety of mains and desserts, ensuring there’s something for everyone. If you're unsure what to try, their recommendations are spot on! Whether you're in the mood for a hearty meal or a sweet treat, this place delivers on both quality and taste. Definitely a must-visit!"

"Overall, it’s still acceptable, and the food tastes not bad. But the portion is a bit small. The dessert I ordered is really too little — hope this can be improved."

"We visit this restaurant on the way back to KL from Bukit Kayu Hitam. We ordered several dishes, Creamy butter chicken was good, the creamy sauce is delicious, and it has egg mayo as the ingredients. Their fried rice also good, it has lap cheong inside and a bit spicy which is good. We also ordered Char Kuay Teow, they have different Kuay Teow than any of kuay teow we have so far, it's thick and wide, their beef is so tender and not chewy, good for elderly. The hamburger was nice but just ordinary. The dessert creambrulle was good and must try! Their service is good and friendly as well as attentive."

"Too many choices on the menu that one may have to come 20 times to try all of them. The owner is nice and friendly."

"Overall very nice experience in this restaurant. It just the parking was kind of hard to find in certain time as this street is always crowded. Food taste: clam Noodles soup is nice, the mixture of taste is great. HK style baked cheese rice is full of cheese, it seem over d, but taste good. Polo bun is crispy for the top mix with butter is superb. Ice bucket Yin yong taste was smooth, like it very much. Food serve is fast, environment nice. Compare with one of kl branch, their menu is slikely different but both also nice."

"Late-Night Dessert Haven with Heartwarming Hospitality We visited Nine Dragon Char Chan Teng with my family on a friend's recommendation, and it was the perfect spot for a post-dinner treat since they're open until 11 PM. The owner was incredibly kind, assuring us not to rush even though we arrived close to closing time. Following our friend's tip, we tried the Taro Tart (N2)—an absolute must-order with its perfect crumbly crust and not-too-sweet filling. We also loved the Mango Pomelo Sago Smoothie and the Mango Sago; both were refreshing, creamy, and full of real fruit flavor. Beyond the delicious desserts, the place itself is a delight. It's a quaint little spot decked out with Hong Kong movie posters and old-school memorabilia that really takes you back—I even spotted a classic old Mopiko poster! We're already looking forward to going back, not just for the fantastic desserts but to try their savory options like the fried noodles everyone seems to talk about. A truly lovely find!"

"A true great nostalgic Hong Kong restaurant with authentic food and very nice staff. One of the greatest places to have a dinner in Butterworth."
