Skiff Thai Cafe @ CYC Heritage Hotel, Georgetown, Penang.

Housed in CYC Heritage Hotel at CY Choy, Skiff Thai Cafe replaces ATAS Cafe of the same spot; offering a small Thai menu. Visitors can park their cars at the car park behind the building (within the CYC Heritage Hotel) and enter from behind. The cafe features a small Thai menu consists of Thai Boat Noodles, a small selection of Thai appetizers and mains. The price points are generally higher than most Thai restaurants- considering the extremely small portions. It poses a challenge to visit in a big group as you will probably need to order a few more extras to make up the portion (also the drinks- be prepared to pay RM9 for a glass of Nutmeg-cordial juice). Quality-wise, the ones we had were fine, just the portion did not quite justify the prices.  


Dark Thai Boat Noodles (Rm 16.50)


Clear Tom Yum Soup (Rm 24.90)


Papaya Salad (Rm 18)


Thai Seafood Glass Noodles (Rm 21.90)


Rice (Rm 2)

Starting with the appetizers- the Papaya Salad and Thai Seafood Glass Noodles were okay. We love the freshness from the Papaya Salad with a gentle Chili heat. The crunch was there and the seasoning was spot on. A pity that the portion could be larger for Rm 18. The texture for the Glass Noodles was great too; not too shabby. The Clear Tom Yum Soup was alright, though we would personally prefer it have a more in depth in flavors or bolder in Seafood sweetness. As for the Boat Noodles- we love the flavorful broth but it lacked of the herbaceous kick in our opinion; at least not as apparent as those in Thai.


Drinks of the day- Nutmeg (Rm 9)
