在这里用餐都会看到三大种族,桌面也很大,适合大家庭、大聚会,唯一一点不好的就是太多苍蝇。
Meat crabs cooked in sour and spicy sauce @ RM 80.00 I love to eat bread dipped in this sauce. Eating crabs cooked in this way can be very delicious but also very time consuming and messing. Anyway, we have the time to enjoy our meal.
这里的食物新鲜味美而且价格也很公道。我肯定会再来吃哦。
Bukit Tambun is the de-facto Seafood place for Penangites- when we want to look for fresh and inexpensive Seafood, Bukit Tambun is the place to go. The recent development of Batu Kawan (the neighborhood next to Bukit Tambun) has brought in large influx of visitors. The demand for fresh Seafood has increased tremendously and many new Seafood restaurants have sprung up in the recent years. Floating Seafood Paradise is one of them. But apart from offering extraordinary seafood dishes, the dining atmosphere is one of a kind too... the restaurant floats. It sits on a man-made fish pond and one would feel the 'rocking dizziness' (like being hit by waves while on boat) while dining in-house but that's part of the package. There's no menu here but the server will recommend whatever they are ready to serve on that day. To find the place, drive along Jalan Bukit Tambun and look for the signage on your right, turn in and you will find it shortly on your left.
Lou Xiang's signature Crab Porridge is one of the must-orders. Unlike those that are cooked for hours, Lou Xiang's Porridge has the rice-shape maintained; but the seafood sweetness is not compromised. Our order was served with 2 relatively huge mud crabs, and for the price of Rm 66, we thought it was a price worth-paying for. While the Crab Porridge was amazing, their Braised Chicken with Soy Sauce was equally delicious. The Chicken was most tender with a mellow sweetness and sleek Rose-wine flavor. Good on its own but even better with their home-made Chili dip. One of the rare dishes that I am willing to go all out to eat again.
Steamed Emperor Red Snapper in Nyonya Style is priced at RM 45, which we thought was pretty reasonable. The Red snapper is fish, and Nyonya style cooking gives the fish a moderate sour and spicy taste, akin to a toned down Thai flavour. There are other steaming style offered, such as clear style and Teochew style. Savouring the fish for our dinner was a true gratification.
The Stir Fried Vermicelli Noodles with Mud Crab is Sieng Kee's signature dish... there was an option to choose between Roe Crabs or Meat Crabs, we had the latter one. The Crabs were fresh and beautifully cooked but probably baking them was a better idea. The whole dish was a little greasier than expected... making it harder to hammer the crabs.
Of all the food that i try here, Curry Karaage Don is my favorite.
Cafe hopping is not really a famous thing to do at Bukit Tambun, the fishing village is seafood paradise known for an insane amount of seafood restaurants but what if I told you that you could have both in one go? O House Station Cafe is both a cafe and a seafood restaurant, it promotes home-styled seafood dishes yet in a cafe setting. The quaint cafe is a stone's throw distance away from the junction near Simpang Ampat and Batu Kawan (entrance to Bukit Tambun) and has an old-school, classic interior decor. Do not expect the usual cafe fare here, it offers home-cooked delights and seasonal seafood offering. While simple rice and noodle dishes are commonly ordered here, their seafood dishes are not to be forsaken. They are subject to availability (supply of seafood). Ask the friendly proprietor on the freshest produce of the day and she will be able to recommend a few; make your reservation in advance if you have anything specifically in mind otherwise.
One of the places in Tambun that serve nice and fresh curry claypot fish head is at Sheng Ji Curry Seafood. This seafood here are fresh from the sea as it is just beside river mouth. The signature dishes here beside Claypot Curry Fish Head are Spicy and Sour Claypot. Another signature is the cuttlefish stir fried with dry curry powder. The aroma of the curry is so irresistible and rich.
Fu Qi's Steamed Fish with Spicy-Sour Sauce was amazing, not only that the Fish was fresh with firm texture, the accompanying sauce was made of a refreshing but flavorful concoction of Garlic, Ginger, Chilies, Soy sauce and a tinge of zesty element. It blended well with the fish.
Restoran Yummy Garden was located at Bukit Tambun is now moved to Simpang Ampat. Famous for Asian dishes, the taste of the dishes is all delicious while the portion is generous and the price is reasonable.
Chia Xiang Seafood Restaurant - JUST REALIZE they have Nyonya Curry Noodle now
LY Favorite - Crab Rice...yummy …..
We like the new logo of this restaurant.
When netizens posted photos about the massive Seafood Platter by Tambun Hai Restaurant (一品鲜), it took the breath away from me. The place was made famous due to its gigantic Seafood Platter that can literally serve up to 12 diners at one go. When it was first opened in June 2017, the place was flooded with adventurous gourmands waiting eagerly to dig in the tower of crustaceans; we made an attempt to visit but to no avail. 3 months later, we decided to try our luck again but it seems like the hype has faded and the place was less than half-occupied. For the uninitiated, the restaurant is known to serve Hot Pot fully covered with Seafood and the much-elaborated crustacean feast; but do not expect things to be cheap here. The cheapest set you can get is Rm 118, without additional add-ons, it is unlikely to be a tummy-filling meal. But let's forget about the price, the taste did not shine either, it was more for the novelty in lieu of absolute taste.
It's all about Seafood at Bukit Tambun, a small fishing village famous amongst seafood lovers. While there are many seafood restaurants in the vicinity, not many offer Claypot Crab Rice and Cia Siang Seafood Restaurant (at the junction of Simpang Ampat and Bukit Tambun) claims to be the first to offer this specialty. It's hard to miss Cia Siang, the restaurant has a huge facade with gigantic signage and ample parking space. Though the restaurant is not air-conditioned, the high ceiling allows natural wind to flow in and the ventilation is good. There is no standard menu, once you entered the restaurant, you will be ushered and seated quickly. The cantankerous proprietor will then approach you in lightning speed and rush you for orders. While the food did not disappoint, they did not shine either; we thought the food was of standard-average quality but... with outrageous price tags.
Though the Green Curry Thai Laksa was well-presented but the flavors did not quite impress us. The creamy, herbaceous factor was missing, the sauce was rather diluted and watery. We expected bolder flavors. Tom Yum was equally disappointing, it was not spicy nor sour at all... with subdued flavors. Also, we did not like the texture of the Noodles... something like the local Koay Teow. The meal ender was not any better either
Visitors visiting Design Village Penang but intend to have something special for lunch (except those fast food chains in the mall) can opt to reroute to Bukit Tambun, a small township famous for Seafood and home to many Seafood restaurants. Bukit Tambun is approximately 10 minutes drive away from Design Village Penang; it was once the de-facto place to visit when Penangites wanted fresh Seafood. Though it is still popular right now but the hype has reduced drastically as there are many other options available for now. But Mee Udang (Prawn Noodles) Bukit Tambun offers something out of the norm, instead of the usual Seafood Zhu Char dishes; it dishes out home-made Mee Udang, a proud Malaysian dish. Mee Udang is not the only option here, fresh Seafood catch is easy to source and thus, expect some simple, no frills Seafood dishes to be found here as well. The fully air-conditioned Mee Udang specialist can be found at one of the colorful heritage houses under the restoration project on the main road of Bukit Tambun (towards the now defunct Jetty).
Operating for more than 15 years, Mamthai is known to serve some of the best authentic Thai food in the neighborhood. The exterior of the place might not be too appealing to some (no fancy, persuasive signage, not fully air-conditioned and the seating arrangement is not impressive at all) but regular patrons just know when and how to make their way back there. The non-elaborate menu can be found on the wall but with limited information (not even the prices); speak to the servers and they will be glad to suggest or recommend the signature dishes. While we did not think their food was mind-blowingly good, the prices were unexpectedly affordable. Not too shabby for a casual family meal.
