Penang place has been in Suntec for a long time. The buffet is alright, has local favourites such as char kuey tiao, penang laksa, chicken satay, and others. It was crowded on the weekend dinner time

Would give this place minus stars if i could.
The food here is below average. Had the chicken curry and kueh pie tie. The chicken curry is twice the price of a certain chain, but definitely not as good. The chicken was quite hard, and there's too much oil. The kueh pie tie is a rip off. They mention it has prawns and crab meat... those are apparently buried in the turnip, such that they can't even be found. The manager (?) did bring us half a prawn that they dug up. Considering how "chopped" up the prawn is supposed up be... there wasn't any in the portion we were given. One of the male staff could even laugh and say something about how it depended on our luck, or something like that.
As for the service... they clear your dishes without asking if you're finished. We weren't even done with the plate they cleared.
I would say you pay for what you get... but in this case, you don't.

Visited this restaurant named Penang Place.
We drove to Suntec City to have our buffet lunch at the Penang Place.
The reception staff greeted us with humble smiles as we are at the entrance.
Restaurant environment was very convincing, cozy with lots of tables available and guests already arrived taking their delicious food over that many varieties of delicacies.
We took the asam laksa, nasi lemak with the spicy gravy, prawn fried kway teow first on our 1st round.
The taste and aroma of the asam laksa and the prawn fried kway teow was very close similar with the food at Penang island itself, our excitement telling us to go for our next round of the delicacy.
Sure enough the satay plus the gravy was well prepared and super good that tempted us to continue our next rounds to fill our hunger until the ice chendol with the big red beans plus coconut milk - wow wow wow it is a real worth money spent tasting the delicious Penang food in Singapore.
Yesterday, 17/8 we spent another memorable lunch at the restaurant with free flow of durians.
Yummy

Itâs heartbreaking to say this, but lunch at Penang Place at Suntec City was a letdown. This was once a spot we cherished, ever since we first discovered it at International Business Park in Jurong in the early 2000s. Whether it was the buffet or the Ă la carte dishes, there was always something to look forward to.
But today, the Char Kway Teow was over-fried, marred by bitter, burnt bitsâalmost as if the wok hadnât been cleaned properly between batches. The Hokkien Prawn Mee had a rich, flavourful broth, but it was buried under an overwhelming tangle of noodles and beehoon â we finished the soup and left most of the noodles. And the biggest disappointment? The prawnsâonce sweet and juicyâwere tasteless.
Itâs a sad realisation, but this isnât the Penang Place we used to crave. We wonât be coming back anytime soon.

Food was good, taste was great and very authentic and resemble very much local Penang fare. The Assam Laksa and Hokkien Soup Noodles were true to taste. However, they counted kids above 10 yo as adult which to me, is unreasonable.

An amazing find for Penang food. I love family owned businesses as usually they offer quite authentic native flavours and this place is a very good example of it.
Ambience: Lovely decor, comfy seating and this place is really quite big. They have employed robots for table side delivery.
Food: We ordered chicken satay, beef rendang, Sambal fried rice set with chicken and sambal fried rice set with breaded fish. Food arrived quite quickly. The fried rice set incduded fried rice, fried egg, prawn crackers, sautĂŠed veggies and two pieces of fried chicken. All the items were excellent. Fried rice were flavourful with juicy prawns, chicken was also v nice. Their peanut sauce for satay was really good. I liked it that they don't charge for water. Portions were also quite large so we had a very full and satisfactory meal.
Service: I wish I could rate them 6 stars. The girl who seemed to be floor incharge was serving with a lot of warmth. It was clearly evident that it was her family business. You rarely see this kind of service and diligent work from restaurant staff. We also customised one of our order and they happily did it without any fuss.
Price: Heavy and fulfilling dinner for 3 costed us SGD 74 which is quite reasonable given the quality of food, good service and nice ambience.
Overall, excellent value for money. I am coming here again for sure.
PS: Their CNY buffet priced SGD 43+ seemed to be very popular (and elaborate).

Craving for some Penang cuisine? A buffet spread of pan fried noodles, coconut rice, chendol, etc. is sure to satisfy.
The staff replenish the dishes very promptly and you don't have to wait too long for popular items. A staff will be at the noodle station to make you a fresh bowl of hokkien soupl noodle and you can have fun making your own shaved ice dessert.
