The Seven Restaurant and Bar 七号笼门 @ E-Gate, Gelugor, Penang.

A new venture by The Six group-  The Seven Restaurant and Bar 七号笼门 at E-Gate Udini has a fresh new concept- marrying authentic Hunan and Cantonese dishes with local elements... making them friendlier to local palates. The newly opened restaurant can be found right next to Coffee Bean at E-Gate, with bold Chinese interior decor. The menu is big and offers a wide range of Chinese dishes... while retaining some of their previous signature dishes (such as Ramen). There were some hits and misses for the dishes but given the comfortable dining atmosphere, affordable price points and family-friendly menu, this place is still worth a try (especially for family eat out). 

Ramen with Seafood and Spicy Milky Soup (Rm 18.80)

Stir Fried Hor Fun with Seafood (Rm 15.80)

Stir Fried Hor Fun with Seafood (Rm 12.80)

A playful dish- Ramen with Seafood and Spicy Milky Soup is a marriage between the Chinese Mala Dry Pot flavors with creamy Milk, making the soup more comforting while retaining the unique Mala Dry Pot flavors. The Ramen was nicely cooked with a silky smooth and al-dente texture, the accompanying Seafood was equally great. Not too shabby for a change. The Stir Fried Hor Fun with Seafood paled when in comparison with the previous dish, the Hor Fun was clumpy and lacked of the quintessential Wok Hei. The whole dish was quite monotonous and lacked of the juicy crunchy element... we struggled to finish this dish. For side, we had Stir Fried Hor Fun with Seafood... something like Xiao Long Bao (according to the menu) sans with burst of meat juice which was a let down.
