FINALLY!

Penang is back in East Hanover NJ.

It took awhile, but they’ve finally finished the renovations for the Malaysian-Thai cuisine hangout.

And what a transformation.  They’ve upped the vibe a notch – closed up the open kitchen, neat dramatic wallpapered wall with indirect lighting, brought in spacious 6-person upholstered booths, neat-o illuminated orange glass dividers for the long bench seating.  The upper deck now houses 3 big round tables that seat 10 people each.

The hostess said they didn’t sacrifice any seating for the new configuration.

The menu stays the same.  The popular standard fare is still yummy — Roti Cani, Pad Thai, Seasme Chicken, Buddhist Veggie Delight…

Penang is next to Don Jose, in the Home Depot shopping center.

The kids eat well every time we go.  But a couple of weeks back, when we ventured out in January for some Penang, we were welcomed by closed doors.

You could see through the papered windows that they were gutting out the place for renovation.

CLOSED.

But this week, it seems that they have finally opened the doors again according to their website:

So glad. So glad. . .It makes me start to think about what I’m going to order when we go back (soon!). . .
