Signature
Roasted Taiwanese Chicken
The dish reviewers name first — crispy on the outside, juicy and flavourful inside, carved at the table and served with a house dipping sauce.
The restaurant
A heritage table on the water's edge.
半畝田
The name — “half an acre of field” — is a classical Chinese allusion to a small plot tended with care. It sets the register: unhurried, generous, rooted in tradition.
Half Acre Restaurant sits on the ground floor of Straits Quay in Tanjung Tokong, where a waterfront terrace and rooms hung with red lanterns, calligraphy and rosewood cabinets set the table for proper Chinese cooking. Round banquet tables make it a natural choice for family reunions and big group dinners, and the kitchen is best known for its roasted Taiwanese chicken — crisp-skinned, juicy, and served with a house dipping sauce.
Beyond the signature bird, the menu runs deep: grilled Iberico pork spare rib braised in red wine, slow-cooked pork trotter, fresh seafood, sweet-and-sour chicken, and wok-hei fried rice and stir-fries that regulars come back for. Set menus such as the RM128 spread are built for sharing — and with 4.5 stars across more than 1,500 reviews, it has become one of Tanjung Tokong's go-to spots for a sit-down Chinese meal by the marina.
