Lunch At Ong Cheng Huat Seafood, Butterworth

On Thursday, we took the earliest ETS train to Butterworth (10:30am). It was to be a 2D1N stay in Penang.

Waiting for the train to start from Ipoh railway station.

At the Butterworth railway station.

From the railway station, our friends took us for lunch at....

Kedai Makanan dan Minuman Ong Cheng Huat Seafood, Butterworth.

Can you see the small lane?

We have to drive through this short single lane to reach the restaurant.

In front of the restaurant.

Clear blue sky and coconut trees.

We saw this car while we were waiting for our friends at the Butterworth railing station. Coincidentally, we saw this same car at the restaurant.

Inside the spacious restaurant.

We ordered a bottle of palm wine or referred to toddy by the locals.

When it is fresh, it is fragrant and sweet.

Blanched baby octupus.

Clams or lala.

Fried rice vermicelli or beehoon.

Crispy fried seafood pancakes.

Steamed red snapper.

Mango salad or mango kerabu.

Fried yellow noodle + rice vermicelli.

Fried mantis prawns with sticky sweet sour sauce.

Thanks to our friends for this filling and yummy-licious seafood lunch.

After lunch, our friends took us to the Sunway Carnival Mall, Butterworth to help us digest our lunch before taking us over to Georgetown to check into the hotel.

I found the following murals near to the Neo Hotel, Penang when we were out for our morning walk the next morning.

This is at the Pusat Kegiatan Guru, Dato Keramat.

This is also near to the hotel.

Our morning walk was cut short when it started to drizzle.

Linking to Monday Mural.

Fresh Palm Wine & Seafood Lunch At Makanan Laut Jit Yue Hiong, Sitiawan.

Once we have finished our sightseeing, it was time for lunch and we were looking forward to a seafood lunch. We still preferred our regular place and once we have settled down, my friends did the ordering. We didn't order much because of the kompia or bagel snack. We also ordered 2 bowls of Foochow red wine chicken noodle to try while at the sightseeing site. I didn't take any photo of the noodle.

 Whenever we are here, this is a must order - very fresh palm wine.

A friend requested for a small bottle of Guinness Stout to mix with the fresh palm wine. I took a sip to taste but I found that I preferred the plain palm wine on its own.

Oyster & egg omelette - Sitiawan style.

Someone took a piece before I could get my camera ready. Lol!

Steamed fish - Teochew style - fish very fresh and tasty.

A plate of fried rice vermicelli.

Stir fried green veggie with garlic.

A small bowl of sweet sour fish maw soup.

I love this but none of my family member likes this.

We were the early birds.

Then followed by the later birds....

Signboards by the roadside....Kampung Cina, Sitiawan.

It was about 2 pm and time to hit the road to Damai Laut. GPS showed about 26 km and will take about 35 to 40 mins to reach depending on the traffic flow. It was a smooth drive all the way.

"That, by the way, is what baptism pictures for us:

In baptism we show that we have been saved from death

and doom by the resurrection of Christ;

not because our bodies are washed clean by the water

but because in being baptized we are turning to God

and asking him to cleanse our hearts from sin"

(1 Peter 3:21, The Living Bible-TLB)
