A hot pot of Tomyum served piping hot with assorted seafood did sooth our crave for Tomyum, a little sour that compliment with tolerable spiciness. Under the air conditioned space, no sweat to finish the whole pot
Overall, most dishes that I tasted here today pass with flying colors.
Wang Thai at All Seasons Place has been serving up Thai food for the residents in the neighborhood for quite some time but recently, there's a stiff competition for Thai food, particularly within the commercial building of All Seasons Place. The new addition- Chang Thai Restaurant is the new venture behind Tomyummy Noodle House. It has plenty of Thai-influenced dishes to offer- from Kerabu to Fried Fritters, Tom Yum, Seafood and classic stir fry dishes. But prices are on the higher side and the food quality is merely passable-satisfactory.
Leong Hee Seafood (龙禧海鲜小馆) is a proud Penang brand that stands the test of time, established in the 70's, Leong Hee specializes in catering services (wedding or occasions); the extended branch at Paya Terubong is well-received by the residents living nearby. Like most Chu Char places in Penang, it offers quite an extensive local Chinese delights but at unbeatable prices. The place is often full on weekends and the regular patrons would make their reservation in advance so if you have something particular in mind, it is suggested that you make advance reservation to beat the queue too. Leong Hee Seafood is a stall operating in 1997 Coffee House along Jalan Paya Terubong.
Mookata Thai Traditional BBQ Steamboat 滿鍋大 is a stall at Kedai Kopi 1997 that opens during dinner hours. Here's the location.
I was also reminded next round not to miss the big blanched cockles here which are not available to the masses but only to select restaurants.
We wanted a dish that comprises all Seafood elements... and we were introduced to their White Tom Yum. It consisted Prawns, Squid and chunks of Fish Meat; flavor was robust with a good balance of sourness and saltiness, with a gentle spicy kick. With the fresh, juicy Seafood, the White Tom Yum was quite addictive and best spooned over rice.
Dining out in a proper restaurant might not necessary be too grueling to the wallet, at least for the case of James Foo Western Food. The long-established name is known to every Penangite for its great dining deals and its strength to serve localized Western food. While the place does not feel as "fancy" as compared to some of the newly established cafes in town, some of the dishes taste equally good, but at discounted rates. The Western-food focused menu has since expanded from the locals' favorites (of Chicken Chop, Fish N Chips) to a vast selection of International fusion dishes, at very competitive prices.
The Brown Marbled Grouper is one of the most-ordered dishes, we had ours steamed and served with premium Soy sauce. The fish was fresh with the most delicate flesh, the texture was addictively bouncy with a hint of seafood sweetness. It was good but could be better if it was served to us piping hot (did not come as hot as expected). The Octopus was alright, though we were a little underwhelmed with the portion and price, we thought the special sauce blended well with the Seafood (the winning factor was the subtle sweetness with a mild heat). If Rice is too mainstream, go for their Singaporean Bee Hoon. For Rm 5, we thought the portion was rather generous and the noodles were expertly cooked (and seasoned). Though there were some hits and misses, we were generally pleased with the food quality.

Here's the location.
The Kolo Mee is good.
I love the noodle used for this kolo mee.
The chunks of tender lamb with notes of herbs are complemented by a big plate of fragrant white rice and a salad of tomato, lemon, and gherkins. A spoon of the sauce with the rice is just heavenly.
Halab Penang is probably one of the places where you can take someone for an amazing dining experience.
One of the dish that caught our attention is Loy Kee Wanton Noodle as a number of patrons in other tables have it ordered on their table. We did not realized we have tried it previously when they used to operate at Lebuh Kimberly. The noodles were served al-dente and briming with nice sesame oil flavour, although we felt the pepper was overwhelming. On the other hand, we also had the wanton soup and enjoyed it much. The wanton is packed with nicely seasoned filling.
the food here is pretty good though.
Meanwhile, don’t miss the Kuantan Road curry mee served in a soup boiled with a combination of coconut milk and chili. A standard bowl of curry mee comes with a choice of noodles, along with beansprouts, cuttlefish, cockles, taufu bok, prawns, and pig’s blood cubes. If you are really hungry, have the curry mee with extra roast pork.
SeaQueen Restaurant Straits Quay Tanjung Tokong
Overall, the dim sum was good and the ambiance was also very comfortable. There is a multi-storey carpark at Straits Quay. As for the price, I would say it is considered reasonable judging by its location and ambiance. The ingredients used to prepare the dim sum were also very fresh. This is the ideal place for people living nearby to have dim sum without the hassle of going to town.

Stir-fried yellow noodles with clams is simplistic. Done with a pleasantly sweet taste of clams and mild zingy ginger kick, the noodle is served with accompanying spicy sambal.
There are many other selections recommended by the crew, namely kappa, sotong and etc but we had a Butter Mantis Prawn (RM 12) instead. The creamy and sleekness were well balanced, giving a rich taste if you take the sauce to complement the white rice.
The 3-flavored Black Pomfret did not impress us from the appearance but it was in fact, skillfully cooked. The flesh was moist and soft while the outer parts of the fish were deep fried to a crisp... slathered with a sweet-savory sauce. It can be dangerously addictive to munch on the crisp sides of the fish or to enjoy the meaty-bite with Rice

We were amazed by the quality of the 1/2 Roasted Moroccan Chicken... grilled to perfection and the skin was brushed with Balsamic reduction, slightly sweet but with a bitter end (due to the singed skin). The meat was fork-tender and perfectly good on its own but even better to enjoy with Sea Salt or a tangy Thai Green Chili dip.
おまかせ Omakase or "留给我吧" means "Leave it to the Chef"! There are no menu for the Omakase, the Chef presents to you what he/she has prepared for the meal course.
The Pad Thai Seafood (RM 8.90) was impressive. It shares almost 70% similarities with the Pad Thai we had in Bangkok and the heat component was no joke. It put our mouth on fire and we had to take small pauses in between to give some resting period for our tongue.
泰式鳳梨炒飯 Pineapple Fried Rice RM8.90 This is the best dish that we ordered. Yummy!
丰富的材料一层一层的叠进盆中，将最容易吸收汤汁的材料放在最底层，越是在盆深处的菜，滋味越浓，赞！
This place served fine dinning with varieties of good wine. For those that would like to enjoy afternoon tea, there is a section for that too. The Ambience is cozy and elegant. The taste of food here touches all the taste buds sensation. The only word to describe is ‘Devine’.
Duck Confit，考得外皮酥脆，慢火煮至鸭腿骨肉分离一拔就脱离，这种软嫩的程度简直就是在引诱我增肥。
Platform 9 3/4 serves French cuisine in a fine dining setting.
Right across the junction to Sungai Pinang and Jelutong, Jason Nyonya House is one of the latest Nyonya restaurants in town. The amiable restaurant has classic wooden house features with staircase at the entrance. It feels very homey, just like any casual dining spot in the neighborhood. The setting does not suggest that it is a Nyonya restaurant... as far as decor is concerned. The name sums it all, the place offers a simple, home-cooked style Nyonya menu. The classics such as Loh Bak, Joo Hoo Char, Inche Kabin, Assam Pedas are there with some additional 'specials of the day' (but we were a little underwhelmed the dish- Assam Prawns was not on the menu). After sampling some of the dishes, we reckon that they lacked the authentic Nyonya touch. Authenticity aside, the dishes were not shabby (if you are seeing the place as a standard Zhu Char place in lieu of Nyonya restaurant).
The Book Sandwich Cafe is a Restaurant and Cafe in the heart of George Town Penang at the Unesco World Heritage Site.
You can either walk in from The Book Sandwish Cafe or The Book Restaurant, it both lead you to the same place as it is connected in the middle, haha !
Although the prices here are a little bit hiked up, the food is definitely worth it.
Overall, I am satisfied with this dish.
This place is famous with seafood and Asian's style cooking. Located at Macalister Road of Penang where are are a lot of good food surrounding. Reasonable pricing and delicisious cooking, this place suitable for family dining
Our favorite dish of the day was Stir Fried Egg with mock Shark's Fin... the Egg was nicely done with a firm and meaty texture, fresh Crab meat was also introduced to the dish for a touch of Seafood sweetness.
One of the best item we had during our brunch was the shrimp rolls. The chef did excellent on the crispy skin wrapping the fresh prawns. Salted egg lava buns were good in taste too.
Seafood and Oyster lover, rejoice ! There is a new awesome place at Straits Quay, Penang for you to enjoy fresh Seafood and Oyster with nice view.

This place is serving fresh oysters that fly from each corner of the world as long as they are fresh. Besides the oysters here the seafood is also caught fresh from the market daily. The Squid Ink Paella and the Crab Meat Avocado Tower here are also their signatures for those that love seafood.
