Special thanks to Penang Golf Club for extending this food review invitation.
Update: This business has ceased its operations.
Penang Golf Club (PGC) is the only 18-hole golf course on Penang Island. The country club is located at Bukit Jambul, right next to Hotel Equatorial Penang.
The main restaurant inside Penang Golf Club is Sakurajima Japanese & Chinese Restaurant. The restaurant is open to the public. Parking is free of charge too. In addition, PGC members get 15% discount off the total bill.
Every day from 11:30am to 8:30pm (except on Sundays), Penang Golf Club serves nasi kandar at the PGC Garden Terrace. Located just outside Sakurajima, this outdoor location is covered with artificial turf.
Popular nasi kandar dishes here are kambing kurma (mutton curry, RM7.50), ayam kari (chicken curry, RM7.00), ayam goreng rempah (spicy fried chicken, RM6.00), hati ayam (chicken liver, RM1.00), sambal udang (spicy prawns, RM8.00), sotong kari (squid curry, RM6.80) and kepala ikan (fish head, RM5.50).
The drinks menu is pretty varied too. For instance, White Coffee Cendol Cincau Gula Melaka (RM7.00) and 3-Layer Milk Tea With Gula Melaka (RM6.00) are popular choices. As for desserts, go for Ice Kacang With Ice Cream (RM8.00). Ice cream flavors are vanilla, chocolate and strawberry.
Overall, the food at PGC Garden Terrace is reasonably priced compared to nasi kandar stalls elsewhere. Meanwhile, customers who prefer air conditioning can enjoy their meals in the comfort of Sakurajima at no extra charge.
