Kampai 99, An affordable Taiwanese dining in Penang

Well, more and more dining outlets continue to crop up in Penang and Kampai 99 is another such outlet and this time, brings a new concept where the food is priced affordably and gives diners a chance to savor many different kinds of freshly cooked meals. I was surprised to see the amount of fresh seafood on display at the front of the store, and among them were yummy looking salmons, cuts of different fishes as well as scallops and other shellfish! There were even live fish tanks and this is something that definitely will appeal to those seeking the freshest options available.
So what makes Kampai 99 different? Its definitely in their pricing scheme where most items are priced at RM9.90 which is actually pretty affordable. Well, they have now been opened for about 2 months now thus its good that things are working out well at this place.

They also serve some imported Taiwanese fruit infuse beer which is something different.

Some of the raw ingredients all prep up to be cooked into something yummy

The live seafood tanks in the background

Attractive salmon heads

The dining area which is simple, clean and spacious

The exterior of the place at e-Gate

Well, moving on below, you can see a sampling of what they have to offer and hope you find it appealing.
Their smoke duck breast which was pretty decent

Fried large prawns on a hot plate

Garlic Pork if you like pork!

A pretty impressive sashimi platter. Especially liked how the chef folded the fish slices into a nice rose

Kung Pao chicken which I felt lacked oomph and some sauce

Taiwanese Roast Pork which was pretty good though the portions could be better

BBQ Lamb, sad to say was abit over burnt and thus it was tough to the bite

Clams with Ginger soup was refreshing but there was too much pepper taste to it

Garlic Water Frog Soup, Direct translation of "bull frog" soup, was also abit of a let down as I felt there was too much soup and too little frog meat to really be able to sweeten the soup with the natural sweetness from the frog.

This is probably one of my favorite dish which is the Taiwanese Spicy Chicken. I guess you can't really go wrong with fried chicken and this one was on the spot

I did not sample the beef ribs but it looked tough to the bite

Leek Pork was also good but this is a really simple to make dish with fried roasted pork with leak which is such a classic leak dish for Chinese!

Overall of the dishes to be sampled on the opening day

The owner and the staff of Kampai 99. Overall, not too shabby but lots of room for improvements which I'm sure they will do so!
