Best Lamb Chops in Penang

Making its mark along Burmah Road, Naughty Nuri’s Warung has been a realm of spellbinding barbeque ride, earning epithets such as “The Best Pork Ribs in Town” and “Cognoscenti of BBQ”.  Predominantly pork ribs top the chart, yet if you belly begs for a change, never miss their Grilled Lamb Chop. Sharing space on the full-of-life volcanic rock grill, the slab of meat is excellent. Deftly done on the grill, speckles of smoky chars complement the gamy goodness which is utterly fork-tender. Consorts of mashed potato and fresh salad add a layer of flavour and texture. You’ll be grinning all the way just like the amusing pig sculptures throughout the restaurant. Hobnob in the convivial atmosphere and imbibe some captivating cocktails.

It’s truly a vantage point, offering exquisite views of lush tropical greenery, comfy interior, attentive hospitality and drop-dead delicious meals. Their Lamb Chop is among the pride of restaurant, opulently garnished with batons of white asparagus, baby potatoes and lashed with rich Hollandaise sauce. The meat is second to none, retains all the juices and elegantly charred on the outer side while the white asparagus is less bitter and much tender compared to the verdant one that we are more familiar with. Plush at first sight and bliss till the last bite, you would want this luscious lamb every day.

Why huff and puff to sift all those Penang famous wall murals when Elmural Cafe offers you to marvel them while gobbling down hearty meals. Aptly named “El Mural,” which means wall in Spanish, it downright charms your Instagram upon entering. To charm your palate, sink in their Lamb Chop, which has luscious layers of chars sitting above the juicy and moreish meat. You can have it as it is or liberally shroud the lamb with brown or yogurt mint sauce. Sides of potatoes and fresh salads add crunch and colour to the dish. And save some space for gelatos to wash it all down.
