Ho Min San 好面善 @ Gurney Plaza, Penang

Ho Min San (好面善) is a subsidiary of Dragon-I (龙的传人) that specializes in fusion of Asian cuisine. You can now find the restaurant on the lower ground floor of Gurney Plaza. The restaurant is designed in a minimalist design with a bright and airy dining area. However, the restaurant space is quite limited. As its name implies, noodles dishes take center stage in Ho Min Shan’s menu with a wide variety of options for Cantonese-style rice vermicelli (米线).


Instead of their signature Rice Vermicelli Soup, we'd their Dry Noodles with Braised Pork & Mushrooms (香菇台式卤肉面) and the Rice with Braised Pork and Mushrooms (台式卤肉盖饭). Those dishes taste quite nice and were pretty similar to the Taiwanese Braised Minced Pork Rice (卤肉饭) in the Taiwanese restaurant.  The texture of the noodles was great and the portion of the Rice with Braised Pork and Mushrooms was quite big.


Taste: 7.0 (1 bad → 10 good)

Apart from the main dishes, you should not also miss out on their Shanghainese Pan-fried Dumpling (生煎包). Honestly, instead of the rice vermicelli soup, I was very looking forward to trying these buns. Happily, it really lived up to expectations. The pork bun was great, it tasted just like Xiao Long Bao (小笼包), it was so juicy except that the bottom was golden brown and crispy.  

Taste: 7.5 (1 bad → 10 good)

The Braised Pork Intestine (港式卤肉大肠) and the Hong Kong Style Marinated Pig's Ear (港式顺风耳) have nothing to be picky too. The sauce to braise the pork intestine and pig's ear was somewhat like Hong Kong "Lou Sui" chicken wings (瑞士雞翼).
