Dinner At Tambun Prawn Village Restoran In Bukit Tambun, Penang.

After spending 2 hours or more at the Ikea Store in Bukit Kawan, we were looking forward to an early dinner in Bukit Tambun.

Further down this road is the Jetty Seafood Restaurant.

Restoran Makanan Laut Prawn Village, Bagan Bukit Tambun.

You could easily miss this place because the restaurant is lower than the road and there are steps leading down to the restaurant.

We had the following dishes for dinner for 5 people.

Simple stir fried green amaranth and carrot slices with garlic.

Medium size @ RM 12.00

A herbal soup base to cook the Grouper fish slices

Giant Grouper fish slices.

Fish slices + herbal soup base @ RM 55.00

Curry Prawn Bread @ RM 30.00

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.

Total lunch including tea, rice, etc for 5 people = RM 203.00

Mud crabs all tied up to prevent them from getting away.

This restaurant has been recognised for its "Fair Price" by the Ministry of Domestic Trade And Consumer Affairs. This was displayed outside the restaurant.

I know very well how foolish it sounds to those who are lost,

when they hear that Jesus died to save them.

But we who are saved recognize this message as the very power of God.

For God says, "I will destroy all human plans of salvation no matter

how wise they seem to be, and ignore the best ideas of men,

even the most brilliant of them."

(1 Corinthians 1:18-19, The Living Bible-TLB)

Lunch At Restaurant Seafood Jetty, Bukit Tambun.

I am back again after a 6 days break from blogging. Hubby and I, and 6 friends went on a 5D4N cruise holiday on the Superstar Libra. It was my first cruise trip from Penang-Port Klang-Langkawi-Phuket-Penang starting on the 13th to 17th March. Together with another family of 4, we started our drive in a 7-seater car from Ipoh at about 11.40 am on the 13th (Tue). Another couple started earlier than us and went on ahead of us in their car to Penang.

 Driving on the North-South expressway

 It was a bright, sunny day.

We will be stopping for a seafood lunch at Bukit Tambun.

 Here is the seafood restaurant. I noticed that it has a new signboard! A noticeable difference from the one shown below.

 This was the old signboard when I was here with my ex-colleagues about 9 months ago, in June, 2017.

 From the restaurant, we could see fishermen bringing in their cockles harvest.

 Washing and separation of the cockles.

Machine for washing and separation of the cockles.

 Fresh cockles - small, edible, marine bivalve mollusc. 

 Live grouper fishes in the seafood restaurant.

 No, we didn't order this fish.

 Instead, we ordered a fish similar to the red fish (ikan merah) and have it steamed.

 A special dish for the junior, the youngest in our group.

Chinese style steamed egg with water - smooth like tofu custard.

 Fried fresh oyster omelette (or chien).

 Crispy, crunchy deep fried squids (sotong).

 Sweet, sour dipping sauce for the deep fried squids.

 Sweet sour mud crabs.

Fried mantou (deep fried Chinese steamed buns).

Best eaten by dipping into the sweet sour sauce of the crab dish.

 A very scrumptious lunch for 6 people.

 Colourful toll gate - heading towards Penang after the seafood lunch.

 Driving on the Penang 1st bridge - 2.45 pm.

We had about 3 hours to spend on Penang island before we head towards the jetty. It was a hot day and we were looking for a nice cool place away from the sun. (Give me some time and I will be visiting and blogs hopping.)

The sun crosses the heavens from end to end,

and nothing can hide from its heat.

God's laws are perfect.

 They protect us, make us wise, and give us joy and light.

God's laws are pure, eternal, just.

(Psalm 19:6-9, The Living Bible-TLB)
