Looking for authentic Thai food in the heart of George Town, Penang? In today's vlog, I satisfy a major craving by visiting Urai Thai Kitchen. Penang is famous for its incredible food scene, but finding a spot that delivers that true "taste of Thailand" can be a challenge.
I sit down for a massive feast featuring two of my absolute favorites: Pad Kra Pao (Spicy Holy Basil Pork) with two fried eggs and a rich Red Curry. I even got to dust off some of my Thai language skills with the staff!
From the high-contrast spice levels that’ll make you sweat (the true sign of a good meal!) to the surprisingly affordable price point for authentic international cuisine in Malaysia, I’m breaking down why this hidden gem should be on your Penang food list.
What’s in this video:
Exploring the diverse food scene of George Town, Penang.
Ordering classic Thai dishes: Pad Kra Pao & Red Curry.
Authenticity check: Is the spice level up to standard?
Final bill breakdown: How much does a full Thai feast cost in Malaysia?
Location: Urai Thai Kitchen, George Town, Penang, Malaysia.
