It’s a dish served with chunks of chicken, fresh mandarin orange, and fresh greens all of which are showered with olive oil dressing.

A place to have Halal Penang food: This is a must visit destination for fans of Penang food. The flavours of Penang Assam Laksa, Penang Hokkien Mee, Penang Char Kway Teow and many more are close to what you can get at the “food paradise” in Malaysia.
A wholesome buffet line with 30 specialities: Prepared by exclusive chefs from Penang, the buffet is an exhaustive selection of mouth-watering hawker favourites, and refreshing, colourful desserts. With so many delights on offer, it surely is a great value for money.
One of the best Penang Char Kway Teow in town: Served piping hot with smoky flavour, this signature dish will make you drool with the aroma itself. With loads of prawns, cockles, squids, fish cakes, eggs, bean sprouts, and scallions, each Char Kway Teow batch flies away as soon as it is laid out.
Have fun with the live cooking stations and create some selected dishes in your own way: Experience that childlike glee by mixing your own ingredients at DIY counters. What is your prefered version of Assam Laska, Fruit Rojak or Ice Kacang? Just make it the way you like.
Dining for the entire family with a special kids buffet: While adults can gorge on spicy Penang flavours, children can have their fill with all-time favourites like Nuggets, French Fries, Chicken Fillet and an array of desserts.

Highlights:

Turkish Halal food with Middle-eastern fare: If your food preference favours red meat, spiced soups, yoghurt, dishes dressed in olive oil, skewered meats and sides, and all-things eggplants, then your palate definitely suits Sofra’s traditional Turkish dishes.
Wide selection of Kebab dishes: As with any middle-eastern dining experience, kebabs are a highlight of the meal. Meat lovers would love the familiar Iskender, Beyti, Doner Kebab roll, Eggplant kebab, and Adana kebab, all come in a mixture of beef, lamb, and/or chicken meats. Otherwise, you can go for the obscure ones such as Yaprak, Cup kebab, and Sultan kebab.
Chef plate for sharing: Turks traditionally eat at home thus the food come in either large servings or a mixture of everything. Chef plate (S$21.90) showcases Izgara Kofte, Doner Kebap, and Shish Kebap. It is ideal for 2 persons who just want to have a sampling taste of Turkish cuisine without shelling out a load of money.
There’s a pizza to fall for: Pide is a crowd favourite, mainly because it isn’t like your ordinary veggie-friendly pizza. Topped over the soft and crunchy pizza bread are the homemade sauce, roasted eggplant, and minced lamb and chicken. It looks like shawarma on pizza dough and it is succulent enough to satisfy your appetite.
