Went to Ong Cheng Huat Seafood Restaurant after almost 20 years ago..........
Since there are only 3 of us, all ladies, so we ordered two (2) of their signature fried chickens. It cost only RM6.50 per chick. It was well marinated and fried to perfection. It is called "chien kae kia" or fried baby chicken in local Hokkien dialect.
Verdict: Revisit? Most probably yes if I happen to be at Butterworth again. I highly recommend the Deep Fried Spring Chicken and Fried Mee Hoon. I also read a lot good comment regarding their steamed Red Snapper, try it out if you have plan to dine in here.
I love the food here.
very unique design of restaurant
The main dish Duck Breast was nicely grilled on the surface and served with mashed Potatoes and greens... as well as a zesty Orange jam. While the Duck Breast skin has a crackling crisp texture, the inner meat texture was peculiarly mushy. We were expecting a juicy, meaty texture but it was completely opposite. Fortunately, the mashed Potato was nicely done- creamy and perfectly seasoned.
The food here is awesome good!
One of the few Korean restaurants at Butterworth- Da Ohn Da Korean Restaurant is the brand's only branch in Penang (HQ in Ipoh); similar to most Korean restaurants, it offers a wide range of Korean delights including barbecue, Hot Pot, Rice and Noodle dishes. There are however, some uncommonly seen Korean dishes here. Prices seem to be friendlier than most established Korean restaurants in Penang but the interior decor is less-impressive. It looks exactly like an ordinary restaurant in the neighborhood (the only thing Korean about this place is the Korean drama posters adorning the walls). The lack of proper ventilation system makes the place smoky so be prepared to face the smoke odor after a meal here at Da Ohn Da. To find Da Ohn Da Korean restaurant- from Raja Uda, turn into the road opposite to Kwong Wah Primary School. You will find the Korean restaurant on your left shortly.
What I really like about this place is, 1) Simple Unpretentious set up, May be a bit “rough” for others 2) The Beautiful view, best view just before sunset. 3) The Unpretentious and Simple food, not overly decorated.
Wok Baked Crabs, Juicy! serve with a hammer
A restaurant somewhere opposite to Chung Ling High School Butterworth
The restaurant is decorated with lightening color - Yellow and Orange.
There are a lot of crabby spots in Penang but not many are as playful as Crab B (螃蟹哥哥), a brand that has been anchored in concrete at Petaling Jaya, Selangor. This new spot at Butterworth (adjacent to Chung Ling Butterworth) is an extended branch in northern Malaysia. It's the perfect spot for adventurous foodies to ditch the conventional ways of eating crabs, instead of the usual baked Crabs or Malaysians' favorite Sweet and Sour Crabs, Crab B churns out funky flavors like Oreo Cheese, Musang King Durian Cheese, Milo Butter, Honeydew Sago or Honey Lemon Crab. But apart from these imaginative-playful flavors, the Chinese stir-fry dishes are promising and safe. Price points are middle-high but they provide good quality in return, the Crabs are selling at Rm 158 per kg but only XL sized Crabs are available (they do not serve small Crabs).
We love the variety here, most of the dishes were of standard-average (none of them disappoint). We were told that their Taiwanese Fermented Bean Curd is one of the unique offerings and so we decided to try it out. It was a little sweeter than usual and the distinctive flavor of the Fermented Bean Curd was milder. Another note-worthy dish would be their Steamed Okra with special sauce; the sauce was a concoction of Fish sauce, julienned Onions, chopped Chilies and Lime juice. It was most appetizing and saliva-inducing, a dish that offers a different dimension than others.
HoChiak - 好吃！！
The FISH is still taste good!!
We like the FRIED FISH HERE....very good taste!!
No surprise on the food quality. Average level........ Price is not competitive,
Goh Kee Seafood is a trendy seafood buffet that serves a complete variation of seafood, from BBQ to grill, from stir-fried to steamboat. There is food that has already been cooked and spread out with more than 20 dishes. Besides that, Goh Kee also provides BBQ pit and steamboat provided for those that love to DIY. Seating at the seaside with a wonderful sunset and cozy sea breeze is an ultimate enjoyment with fresh and various seafood. Every day there are 100kg of crabs and prawns are delivered to ensure sufficient demand for diners.
Beggar's Chicken (叫花鸡) has been one of the signature China Chinese dishes and its history can be traced back to the Ming-Qing Dynasty in China; today, the dish is popular in Jiangsu Province (of China). Inspired by this great dish, this Chinese restaurant tucked in a terrace house along the bustling Jalan Bagan Jermal has recently gained the attention of netizens for serving this old Chinese delicacy. But Ancient Road Seafood Restaurant is not a one trick pony, it has a great selection of Chinese Zhu Char dishes as well; in fact, we thought some of the Zhu Char dishes outshined the signature Chicken dish. Prices are most affordable except for the Chicken but if you appreciate the interactive process (diners ordering the Chicken may proceed to "unwrap and release" the Chicken from the Soil by hammering it), you will probably find it worth it.
More options for seasoned Steamboat diners at Raja Uda, Guan Xian Lao Ma (灌县老妈砂锅串串) is one of the biggest names when it comes to Steamboat/ Hot Pot in Sze Chuan, China. The restaurateur obtained local franchisee license to operate an extended branch here... at Raja Uda Commercial City Centre, Butterworth (same row as Pentagon 5). The brand is known to dish out Sze Chuan Ma-La Spicy Hot Pot with Skewers... the same concept is being brought to the branch in Raja Uda as well. The restaurant is nicely decorated, step in the restaurant and you will be instantly teleported to China... even the stools, wall paper, lighting and tables; all resemble the characteristics of old Chinese decorations. The menu is fairly large, diners can either order by filling up the order form or simply head to the display fridge and help themselves with the skewers (Rm 1.80 per stick). There are of course, some standard items but only a handful of soup bases available.
