Malaysian and Thai Restaurant Featured in New Jersey Newspaper

Penang's Malaysian and Thai Restaurant, a new restaurant in Lodi, New Jersey, has received recognition from The Daily Record.

Lodi, NJ (PRWEB) June 22, 2008 -- North New Jersey now has a new and exotic restaurant where they can tempt their taste buds. Penang's Malaysian and Thai Restaurant was profiled in "Starter," a feature in The Daily Record newspaper. "Starter" is a feature in which a reporter gives the reader an in-depth look of the restaurant instead of providing a review. This new restaurant serves up many dishes from Malaysia and surrounding countries. Penang's culinary variety shows in the amount of food that they offer. The restaurant's menu consists of more than 100 items.

"Penang is a family-owned business, so all the recipes are traditional and have been passed down for years," said Henry Chok, owner of the Penang Restaurant.

Examples of Malaysian, Thai, Chinese and Indian recipes are scattered throughout the menu. Malaysian recipes include volcano pork chops stir-fried in barbeque sauce and beef rending, while Chinese recipes are represented in dumpling and won ton menu items.

All these dishes are served in a big room with a young and modern décor, created by Art Design Partners. Chok explains that he was aiming for "an upscale New York lounge" atmosphere. This look was achieved with dark wood furniture and bright lights behind the bar.

Penang Malaysian and Thai Restaurant also has locations in Edison, East Hanover and Princeton, all in New Jersey.
