Porter’s is a solid bar for that area, I hope it’s OK. Penang is a solid take out/delivery option too. Hope the damage wasn’t too excessive.

I knew I should have gotten Penang’s mango chicken when I was craving it last week! The Post reported yesterday that the floor between the restaurant and the second floor was totally destroyed…

NOOOOOOO! Penang was affected by this?? Where am I going to get my Malaysian fix? Kopitiam can’t hold a candle to Penang!
This is a national tragedy, folks…

I did see them busting out the windows at Penang to vent the smoke; might be undamaged other than that.
