It's been a dreary weekend in Pittsburgh; perfect for staying in and watching the built up recordings on my DVR. An invitation to meet some friends at Sun Penang restaurant in Squirrel Hill (Forbes Avenue at the former Pi Pizza location) got us off the couch last night. I have to say this is some of the best Asian food I've experienced in Pittsburgh. Sun Penang offers a fusion of Thai, Malaysian, Indian and Chinese foods with some spicy curries, chilis, sweet basils, and fruit dishes.
Sun Penang offers a huge selection of fried and soup noodle dishes, vegetarian selections, and a three-page menu of poultry, beef, and seafood entrees. We began our meal with shrimp puffs that were out of this world -- fried lightly, the minced shrimp wrapped in thin bacon, was nicely flavored and balanced well with the dipping sauce. Theresa tried the shrimp wonton soup and Patty gave the herbed beef soup a go - both were suprisingly light and generous in portion. The wonton soup came in a bowl with a side plate of sesame flavored noodles and what looked like steamed kale.
For entrees, our group tried the mango chicken which came served beautifully presented in the carved mango rinds with huge strips of mango and tender chicken (a bit on the sweet side for my taste). Bill and I ordered nearly identical noodle dishes with chicken, shrimp, and squid in a light brown sauce - mine added fresh basil which upped the fusion of tastes. Theresa had the eggplant casserole featuring the small asian eggplants sliced into a slightly sweet sauce with a little bit of spicy kick to it.
They only offer two desserts - we tried them both and liked the sticky rice in coconut milk better than the potatoes in coconut milk (both were exceedingly sweet).
Most dishes are $6.95 with the exception of the mango chicken and the eggplant which were $12.95. It's BYOB with no corkage fees. The small dining room was crowded for a dreary Saturday night at 7 p.m. We will definitely go back! The food and service was excellent and the prices unbeatable.
