Best Grilled Chickens in Penang

Judging by the name, if you’re heading to this eatery expecting a sheer spread of freshly brewed coffee and complementing cakes, you’ll be never disappointed. If you’re one who worries about your waistline yet not giving up on flavours, their  Caesar salad is the best match for you. Grilled chicken chunks are scattered on coral greens, butterheads, rockets, chicken ham, cherry tomatoes, half-boiled omega eggs, a dusting of parmesan cheese and concluded with drizzles of natural yoghurt. Done taking in the beauty, grab a fork and dig in the beautiful mess. 

Housed in a luxury boutique hotel, Noor & Dean’s Kafe is widely regarded as a must-visit to quell your cravings for local and Western delights that score both in taste and presentation. The interior is spectacular as it retains the Peranakan style decorations and ornaments that send you back in time. Food-wise, you may be spoilt for choices but among the winner on the menu is their Grilled Chicken Arrosto – a pleasantly grilled chicken thigh perched atop creamy mashed potatoes, colourful greens and ladled with homemade rosemary sauce. Each mouthful of the meat oozes with additional flavours, thanks to the marination beforehand by the chef.

With an encouraging name, you know they don’t mess around with birds. Speaking off being out of the box, the walls are blanketed with pages of classic fairy tales and children books - surely to boost your Instagram likes straightaway. Among the pride of the kitchen is their Loaded Hen – where juicy and pleasantly charred grilled chicken thigh is crowned with smoked chicken slices, mozzarella, cheddar, coriander, tomato, onions and baked to lip-smacking perfection. Cheesy and meaty – two holy words to have you mopping the plate clean. Another new addition is their Tropical Chicken - perfectly grilled chicken breast baked with mozzarella and bananas then finished with fruit sauce. Sounds a little peculiar yet it does please your taste buds.
