    So why, as I am normally good at compartmentalising vegetarian difficulty, does the Spice Market not score more highly? The simple answer is price. It’s RM198 plus tax per person, and I just can’t justify that for the handful of dishes I could eat. Maybe if I got there at the start and really tucked into the ice cream! But if you went with a bunch of seafood lovers with large appetites and a wallet to match, then it might suit you.

    I remain confused as to why Andrew’s Kampung is so wildly popular among tourists while many other similar restaurants don’t get half the attention. The prices are very fair for what you get, but the food didn’t blow my mind and the ambience is mediocre. I think this is a cut and dried case of TripAdvisor sheeping. However, this place does have the one thing that other restaurants do not, which is Andrew himself, who seems like a naturally friendly guy. I am not disappointed by my visit here, but I do not think I would come back. The hour-long wait for a table and food (even at 9pm – far too late for the dinner rush, isn’t it?) are not worth it to me.

    We also had the Sizzling Beef (RM17.90) served on a hotplate. The beef was tender and flavorful... so good!

    You hear “beach bar” and immediately imagine thumping music and loud, annoying people. Miami Cafe has the advantage of being a pleasant spot in the middle of nowhere – not quite Batu Ferringhi, definitely not George Town. It’s too far to walk and most foreigners don’t have the insight to use Grab or the patience to take the bus which means much fewer tourists will come out here. All of the people eating here at dinnertime were not rowdy guests. The tables were taken up by quiet retirees that were likely guests at the expensive hotel across the street, or locals who ate their roti canai after a day of fishing. The owners (or their daughter) serve you, instead of some tanned surfer-looking dude. Miami Cafe is a rare find: the beach bar with a family restaurant vibe.

    No matter how many times you have been to Tanjung Bungah, there's a deliciously hidden side to the beach front town; some are even unknown by the locals. Ardent fans of Mee Udang need not travel all the way to Teluk Kumbar or Sungai Dua to curb the craving. Warung Tok Mat Mee Udang is one of the secrets well-kept by the locals but the place is well-hidden from the bustling Jalan Tanjung Bungah. To reach there, one needs to travel a path less-traveled (refer to the bottom of this review for the directions); those who made their way there are those who are in the know. It is known to serve some of the freshest Mee Udang in the neighborhood- the restaurant sits by the beach side, offering spectacular beach view to its diners. The owner is related to a fisherman and it explains the source of supplies.

    The star of the menu is the mee udang – essentially a bowl of yellow noodles, scalded and cooked with large prawns in a lightly spicy sweet broth. The broth packs a punch, pushed by the freshness of the seafood, chili and tomato. Garnishing include fresh onions, deep-fried shallots and spring onions for a refreshing spin. Besides the popular choice of yellow mee, the prawns can be cooked with koew teow, bee hoon or maggie mee (instant noodles). This mee udang is always a big hit with diners but if prawn does not appeal to you, it can be replaced by crab.

    We only managed to sample simple items like Yogurt Parfait and Bagel. The taste was pretty straight-forward and self-explanatory but if I may give some advice, I would like the Yogurt Parfait (the Caramel flavor was missing too) to have a touch of Cinnamon powder... for a more dimensional flavor... as for the Bagel... it would be better if they could be more generous with the Cream Cheese. Same goes to the Sweet Potato Latte, the Sweet Potato element could be bolder... it was too light to be discerned (except the color).

    The menu is pretty limited so we resorted to some unconventional choices for our lunch - Smoked Salmon Bagel (RM 14). While the bagel texture was done alright and there was a generous portion of salmon, the entire dish just did not feel great, probably due to cream cheese spread cup was being used instead of self prepared cream cheese. Though the crew reminded us additional cream cheese can be requested but we felt it was more of the quality and not quantity of the cream cheese that calls for all the differences. Moreover, the expected aroma from sesame on top of bagel was absence.

    Imagine the freshest seafood on a sizzling hot pan doused over a thick, spicy-sweet sauce and give it a quick stir fry; when served with a squeeze of Lime juice, you know there's a soft spot for the Malaysian in you. Since its opening in October 2016, Lan's Corner Ikan Bakar that sits on a little hill at Tanjung Bungah (right next to the post office and Sunshine Bay Seafood Restaurant) has garnered an appreciate following. It is known to dish out some of the best Ikan Bakar in the neighborhood. There are a few cooking methods to the local seafood-produce listed on the menu, depending on your preference but we'd recommend their 'bakar' style with home-made sweet-spicy sauce. Prices may not be cheap but certainly commensurate with the portion and quality (especially freshness). Plan your visit here early as long wait is expected after 7 pm (and limited parking space).
