Little Sour 7 酸小七酸菜鱼 has recently made its debut in Penang with a new outlet at the freshly launched Sunshine Central Mall in Ayer Itam. Hailing from China, the brand is known for its signature sour and spicy hotpot- an unusual and punchy flavor combination that’s still relatively uncommon locally. The space is casual and modern, suitable for small or large groups. Being located in a mall makes it a convenient stop for a meal after shopping or errands.
The Golden Soup Sauerkraut Fish is their signature dish and best seller- various vegetables and fresh meat cooked in golden soup (fish broth), topped with a generous amount of Chinese pickled Mustard (or Sauerkraut in this case). It has a mellow spiciness with a bold acidity (from the pickled Mustard). The Fish was tender-soft but lacked the sweet seafood after-taste... more like there for the texture and appearance only. The soup was somewhat hearty and delicious. The Ground Pot Chicken on the other hand, was a disappointment. The seasoning was weak and the dish was overly greasy. We also did not like the fact that the Potatoes, Onions and Chicken were cut finely... which had an impact on the texture. The Mantou on the side was similar- flat rather than pillowy soft. On the dessert- the Cheese Strawberry Snow had an odd-artificial Strawberry flavor, particularly on the Jam. The 'Cheese' or the cream was delicious though.
Taste: 7/10 (1-3 bad, 4-7 average, 8-10 good)
Address: 3A-12B, Level 4, Sunshine Central Mall, 11500, Ayer Itam, Penang.
