Senior Citizens Association, Penang - A Secluded Dining Experience
By steviegoh
If I were to tell you to dine at old folks’ home, you would probably think that I am nuts. This was the first feeling when my friend asked me the same thing. But I was told that the dishes were quite nice. It was kinda cruel for a normal and healthy person to be served by senior citizens. The concept should be the other way round.
The location of this place is kind of secluded from the town area. To get to this place it will be easier to use Gottlieb Road. If you come from Penang Bridge direction you should see Penang Chinese Girls’ High School on you left and GoodAll Cafe on your right, then you are on the right place. Pull your signal to your right at the junction just beside the GoodAll Cafe and you will be at Jalan D.S. Ramanathan (Scott Road).
P/S: This place is closing down and moving to another place very soon. For those that haven’t tried this out, you have to make your move fast.
Moving further on your right hand side there will be a big football field, keep moving and slow down your vehicle and you will see the signboard written as ”Persatuan Rakyat Berida P.Pinang”. Turn right into it and you have arrived at Senior Citizen’s Club.
You have to be very observant in order not to miss the signboard as it is almost hidden by the plants and trees.
The old bungalow which is the home for the old folks. As we walked into the cafeteria we were greeted by many old folks. At that point of time I still couldn’t relate old folk’s home and good food together.
Moving to the back of the bungalow you will see a walk way with rows of table, which some of the customers had started their feast while some were still waiting.
There is even a small hut just beside the walk way which can cater for another 8 to 10 tables.
For starters you can always try out this Roti Babi (Roti Ayam) - RM3.80. The name of this dish is due to the original ingredient used was pork but now they have substituted with chicken instead.
The main ingredients were chicken, crab meat and mixed bangkuang. These ingredients were stuffed inside the bread and were later dipped in beaten eggs and flour mixture before going into the deep-fry wok.
The taste was crunchy with its succulent ingredients. It is always delicious to go with the Lea & Perrins sauce provided alongwith this dish.
Mee Sua Tau - RM5.00(S), RM10.00(M), RM15.00(L), a must-try when visiting this place. This dish was cooked with mee sua, chicken pieces, crab meat, eggs and mushrooms. The taste and texture was like shark’s fin soup but without the shark’s fin which is more humanity and wildlife-friendly. It tasted great when served together with black vinegar.

Stevie, This is not an old folks home, it's a sort of club. Seniors join and go there for recreational activities like Tai Chi, ballroom dancing, mahjong etc....
Just thought I better clarify this before folks start dumping their old relatives there...Joking!!! Thanks for all your blogs on different food outlets. Cheers and bon appetite! By wyey, 1-Sep-2009
