Seafood @ Bukit Tambun
| Share |
Needless to say, anyone who goes to Bukit Tambun for the [tag]seafood[/tag]. Ghee Seng Seafood Restaurant is situated beside a river, diagonally opposite the state’s [tag]Batu Kawan[/tag] Stadium.
Fried Mee Tiao – RM 7. No comment, tastes normal. So far I haven’t found any restaurant that can fry a very nice plate of mee tiao.. if you know any, leave a message 
Steamed Mini Octopus – RM 8. They are tasteless, you need to dip them into the Thai chilli sauce to really enjoy it.
Fried Oyster – RM 8. I have had better lol, oysters given were ridiculously little.
Siao Bai Cai – RM 6. We actually had 2 plates of this because a stupid fly dropped into our first one. The problem with eating here in Ghee Seng is the big amount of annoying flies. You will be too busy chasing them away that you cannot really enjoy your meal in peace.
Satay – RM 9 (15 sticks) The satay was very nice, special too because they are barbecued together with the peanut sauce.
Fried Soft Shell Crab – RM 16.
Sweet and Sour Crab – RM 20 (3 flower crabs) This is the highlight of our meal, the nicest one too. The crabs were very fresh (they were still alive before being cook) It didn’t really tasted like how it was described, it was pretty spicy lol.
Fried Buns that come with the Sweet Sour Crab, to dip in the gravy. Actually, if not for the flies, this would be one of my favorite seafood restaurant in [tag]Bukit Tambun[/tag].

Ayam Penyet AP @ AEON Seberang Perai, Penang
about 1 year ago - 2 comments
Ayam Penyet AP, an affordable restaurant serving the delicious and addictive Indonesian cuisine called Ayam Penyet, loosely translated to smashed fried chicken. It is a perfect alternative to the already over-mushroomed kopitiam franchises. Not only the quality is getting worse, portion is getting smaller and prices are always increasing. Imagine, after I finished my cuppa

Old Green House restaurant (老青屋) is a popular place among Penangites to have Hokkien Mee (or Prawn Noodle in other Malaysian states) either as dinner or supper. Although the noodle is also available in the morning at another ‘day shift’ stall, most of the working people only have the opportunity to savor it after working

Every year I will make it a point to visit the colorful and tantalizing Bazaar Ramadhan. Last year I was at one of the largest in Malaysia at Shah Alam and this year, I am visiting one near my house at Bandar Baru Perda, Seberang Perai Tengah. The Bazaar Ramadhan at Bandar Baru Perda is

Apom Manis is a common food in Penang originating from India that resembles crepes, popular for breakfast or just snacking.

Ikan Bakar Gerai No.3 @ Medan Ikan Bakar Jalan Bellamy
about 1 year ago - 6 comments
Hidden behind Istana Negara along Jalan Bellamy is an array of ikan bakar stalls next to each other forming a medan ikan bakar. Despite its secluded location it gets extremely crowded especially during lunch hour. Not knowing which stall to go for, we chose Gerai No.3 that was the busiest among all. Three huge frying

One of the oldest hawker stall in Penang that is still operating can be found at Kedai Kopi Seng Thor @ Lebuh Carnavon. Seng Thor is particularly famous its Lor Mee but I feel the Lor Bak here deserves a better mention. The uncle has been selling his home-made lor bak daily without fail for
Siam Road (Jalan Siam) Charcoal Char Koay Teow
about 1 year ago - 12 comments
The Char Koay Teow stall along Siam Road, Penang has gotta be one of the best in town. And a good thing about it is you won’t be charged exorbitantly for a plate of Char Koay Teow – something that is supposed to be cheap and affordable but is fast becoming a gourmet priced food
D Kuang Seafood Restaurant @ Kampung Baru, Bukit Mertajam
about 1 year ago - 7 comments
For a cheap and tasty meal, D Kuang Seafood Restaurant at Kampung Baru (Bukit Mertajam) would be a great choice. Here, a dinner for a family of four would cost only a little over RM50 and you could have five dishes inclusive of seafood, meat and vegetable. Sounds good? Read on. Kung Pao Mantis Prawn

wei… i went there already, totally agree.. The octopus tasteless and the fried oyster
wow… soOo little RM8. Crazy.
Try to go Howkee seafood restaurant 045882736
‘ and Prawn village 045882736 also not bad.
vk: How Kee – I went there once, dunno is it we ordered wrong dishes.. the dinner was a disaster. As for Prawn Village, it used to be great. But my last visit weeks ago was a disappointment. Seems like Bkt Tambun’s seafood quality is going down.. sigh

I went to Gee Seng in Year 2005, and the food then was superb! I went there again last weekend (Oct 18, 2008) but somehow the quality food there has deteriorate. Fried squid/sotong which is supposed to be crispy isn’t crispy as previously. Price has increased tremendously (ie 1kg of mantis prawn is RM100 nowadays) unlike Year2005 size M mantis prawn is RM6-RM7 each!! Phew.. luckily the steam-sweet-sour-fish made up to the disappointment! But irritated by the house-flys nowadays!!

Cheryl Wee’s last blog post..Gee Seng Seafood Restaurant @ Bukit Tambun
about 2 years ago
We have been to a few of the restaurants in the area and feel that we prefer the Fish Village Restaurant next to school in town. Fried mee tiao, sweet and sour meat/egg crabs, steamed mini octopus with sauce really7 tasted good. Price very reasonable and ample parking space…
