Editor’s Note

Last updated 3 Aug 2026

Our take: Island Penang Kitchen aims to bring authentic Malaysian flavours to Clementi, offering a range of curries, noodle soups, and seafood dishes.

Reviews suggest a mixed bag in terms of authenticity and flavour intensity.

While some patrons, like Alex Tsan, find the taste remarkably close to real Penang food, others, such as Melvin J., note that the flavours can be muted or diluted compared to traditional Penang-style stalls.

The Fried Kway Teow, priced at $7, receives varied feedback; some praise its taste, while others find it lacking in wok hei and depth.

The Assam Laksa, at $6, is highlighted for its potential dilution and absence of key aromatic ingredients.

However, the Assam Curry Fish Head and the Mee Goreng are consistently praised.

We think it's a spot for those craving Penang favourites, but with an understanding that the flavour profile might be toned down for a broader palate.

Best for a casual meal when the craving hits, rather than a destination for hardcore Penang food purists.

What customers say

Island Penang Kitchen generally receives praise for offering a taste of Penang cuisine, with many finding the Char Kuey Teow and Laksa to be authentic, though some note a lack of 'wok hei' or diluted flavours in certain dishes.

The Assam curry fish head and fruit rojak are highlighted as standout items.

While some dishes like the Prawn Noodle and Assam Laksa can be inconsistent in flavour intensity, the restaurant is considered a comforting spot for Penang favourites.

Ordered the Fried Kway Teow ($7), Kway Teow Soup ($6), Prawn Noodle ($6) and Assam Laksa ($6). The Fried Kway Teow had a slight hint of wok hei, which was encouraging, but overall the flavour felt qu…

Had a satisfying meal at Island Penang Kitchen near West Coast. The highlight for me was definitely the Assam curry fish head. The fruit rojak was refreshing and well-balanced, with that addictive swe…

A true taste of Penang. Only my son and I today, so we can’t try out everything. CKT was good but I felt it did not taste very similar to Penang. The mee goreng was fantastic! Will try the Hokkien pr…
