Mantis Shrimp Village Seafood Restaurant @ Bukit Tambun
Jan 30th
Mantis Shrimp Village is a newer seafood restaurant to open in Bukit Tambun. It is located just beside the toll plaza exiting Bukit Tambun to Juru and one of the first few restaurants you would see. This big restaurant has a sign board so huge you just wouldn’t miss it. Anyway I have heard people say that the deeper you go into Bukit Tambun, the more expensive the seafood would be. This post will prove that statement wrong!

Just went to Yaki Teppan in Sungai Nibong for a teppanyaki dinner. Usually most people working in FTZ area would come here for lunch, so business is always brisk. They have an extensive menu for teppanyaki and sushi and some side dishes which are all reasonably priced.

Al-Hambra Tandoori Palace @ Bayan Baru
Jan 22nd
Al-Hambra Tandoori Palace is a restaurant serving cheap and tasty Northern Indian cuisine. The restaurant was firstly opened in Sungai Petani and has expanded into Penang. The main branch in Penang would be along Nagore Street, while the latest branch to open is located just minutes away from my working place in Taman Sri Tunas, Bayan Baru. It’s only 3-4 shops away from Victoria Station.

Max Gourment Dim Sum Restaurant
Jan 20th
Everytime I go to Queensbay, food is a problem. They are either fast food only or too expensive for a normal meal. Then there are those which are nice and reasonable but often too packed making the waiting time unbearable. Luckily Shanghai Ding Tai Feng and Max Gourmet Restaurant are available within walking distance from Queensbay. You should really try the restaurants along the road leading to Queensbay, they are pretty good for me so far. Parking is expensive as they are privatized but you can always park in Queensbay for RM1 per entry, ha!
Max Gourmet mainly focuses on dim sum and HK-style food. My choice for the night was Roasted Duck Drumstick noodle which comes at a very reasonable price of RM5.50. Fuyoh, cheap and nice. What I love about roasted duck the most is the crispy skin! Recommended.

Faces Steak Garden
Jan 17th
If you happen to be in Tanjung Tokong area and want to have some cheap Western food, Faces Steak Garden is not a bad choice. There are quite a selection of food and the prices range from RM7.90 to RM17.90 at most. The restaurant’s lighting is minimal so the photos may appear blurry and do not look as good as it should be.
If you are having the meal with your partner I would recommend ordering the fruit juice at large size @RM5.50. It is definitely more than enough for two and more worthy compared to the normal size @RM3.50. The large cup is at least triple the size of a normal cup. We also felt we made the right choice hehe.
