Sri Pinang, Auckland CBD

One of my absolute favourite places to go for lunch. The staff are wonderful, the food is exceptional and to make it better it’s so cheappp!!

I absolutely love and adore Malaysian food. Since coming up to Auckland from Wellington its hard not to finish every meal at a Malaysian restaurant and say “ Damn that was alright, but its no Little Penang though”. Sri Penang was one of the few places where I’ve actually refrained from using the the above phrase. I had come as a group to celebrate one of the guys getting a job, and we also wanted a BYO place.  FYI just to be clear I still rate Little Penang better but Sri Penang is very close. In terms of where Sri Penang did well was their golden battered prawns and curries. The gueo teow was alright and the shrimp toast was a little disappointing we were expecting something a bit more interesting than fried prawn on crackers.  Overall though an enjoyable experience, great BYO spot and one of the better Malaysian eateries in Auckland. Showstopper: Battered prawn and curries. Overall Grade: B+

I like this place, it is never pretentious, a simple restaurant tucked in end of K’Road that serves home cooked style delicious Malaysian dishes. I known this place for more than 5 years now when one of my colleague back when I was working around the Mt Wellington area invited us to dine in here, at first I did not understand why he would drive around 9 km’s just to have lunch but when I tried their dishes it started to be clear.
