The latest Michelin Guide article spotlights Ghee Lian, located at George Town’s historic Esplanade.
A queue usually forms in front of Ghee Lian up to half an hour before it opens for business at 6pm.
Ghee Lian’s ultra-popular “green tom yum noodles” actually bore no resemblance, taste-wise, to its Thai counterpart, which the dish co-opted it name from.
Super-fresh seafood used here - the batter-fried fish fillets were absolutely scrumptious.
Best dining option when one is at the Esplanade in the evening:
