Ong Lai Kitchen
About
In Penang, Ong Lai Kitchen is a restaurant at 11050 Batu Ferringhi, Penang, Malaysia, on the island's northern beach strip.
Batu Ferringhi is known for its shoreline and evening market, and a restaurant at this address sits within that resort area rather than in the heritage core of George Town. The kitchen has built a strong following, with 14 reviews producing a 4.9 out of 5 rating. First-time visitors should expect a casual meal in a beachside setting, with the other draws of the island — George Town, Gurney Drive, Penang Hill, Balik Pulau, Tanjung Bungah, Teluk Bahang and Georgetown Heritage — reachable by road.
Malaysian food combines Malay, Chinese and Indian cooking, with dishes such as nasi lemak, laksa and roti canai found across the island.
On Malaysian islands, motorbikes, taxis and rental cars are the usual ways to get around, so planning transport helps when moving between Batu Ferringhi and the rest of Penang. Malay is written in the Latin alphabet, while the Jawi script remains in use for some religious and Malay texts.
