Chicken Chop, Pork-Free
There’s a comforting nostalgia in the Hainanese chicken chop (RM25.45) at Little Penang Kafe Atria. It’s a dish that doesn’t chase trends but instead holds fast to memory. This was a plate that paid quiet homage to an older era, where Western influence met Penang’s Hainanese kitchen hands and something uniquely local was born.
The golden-battered chicken thigh arrived generously portioned, its surface bubbled and crisped just right. The skin gave way with a satisfying crunch, revealing moist, well-marinated meat beneath. It wasn’t greasy, which made each bite cleaner, allowing the flavour of the chicken to stand on its own before mingling with the sauce.

The gravy it came with was exactly how it should be — thickened just enough to coat without becoming starchy. The flavour leaned savoury and peppery which resonated well with me. Soft-cooked peas, carrot cubes, potatoes, and wedges of tomato rounded out the plate, true to the old-school presentation. There was no attempt to modernise or deconstruct this — and that’s part of its charm.

Raymond Chan, the proprietor, says he is trying to preserve the Penang-style chicken chop he remembers from his youth. It shows. Every element on the plate felt intentional, balanced, and anchored in that memory.
Pair it with their Penang Masala Tea — a brew with just enough spice to warm the palate and complement perfectly with the gravy. Together, it’s a deeply satisfying meal that feels like a love letter to a time when fusion food wasn’t flashy — just honest.
