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)

Touring This Little Fishing Town In Simpang Ampat, Penang.

After a delicious lunch, we need to take a walk. Even though the weather is hot, the cloud formation in the sky was beautiful.

Deciding whether to go forward or turn back to where we came from.

We decided to go back, someone told us that there is another restaurant further down the road.

The four of us decided to take a walk through this narrow road to check out.

We girls like to have some fun posing for the camera.

A dog suddenly barked and the walked was stopped. Lol! A friendly man told us that the restaurant no longer opened for business. We turned back and walked the other way.

The shop houses on both sides of the road were colourfully painted.

On the right side is a row of very old shop houses.

Painting of the "King Gambler".

Posing with wall murals on both sides.

Murals on the walls and pillars.

She didn't know the camera is on her...

Candid camera.

Got their attention.

Shooting of a Hong Kong movie going on....

Wall mural of Bruce Lee, martial art movie star.

A shop selling Fish Jerky (Hu Bak Kwa in Hokkien).

I wondered how it tastes like...no sign of anyone there.

Modern day Mary Poppins!

Prawn Noodle - Mee Udang Bukit Tambun Shop.

I am keeping the wall mural photos for a later post.

Time to start our journey home before we get caught in the traffic jam. Passing by an industrial area and the above building caught my attention.

There were traffic jam in certain stretches of the highway. Most of the way was smooth.

I reached home about 5.30 pm, just in time for my hair appointment at 6 pm.

The following photos are for joining Saturday's Critters.

Both the photos were taken by my friend.

My friend saw this colourful bird on her morning walk.

Anyone knows the ID of this beautiful bird?

Since I keep forgetting the names of these furry friends, my friend sent this photo to me with their names printed. So no more excuses for me not to remember their names. Lol! Can you believe it? These are 3 siblings having the same mama dog. They are so adorable!

But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those

who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children -

with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.
