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 Makanan Laut Men Lok, Hutan Melintang.

From Teluk Intan, we took a leisure drive to Hutan Melintang which is a fishing village. Hutan Melintang is located next to the Strait of Malacca and most of the population work in the fishing industry.

 Can you see a fisherman mending his fishing net on his boat?

Looks like home to the fishermen with clothes hanging on the lines.

 Fishing boats and small boats were also resting.

 Very quiet and peaceful on a public holiday.

 We chose this place Makanan Laut Men Lok to have our lunch.

Decorations on the wall.

 Is this a fish or an eel?

My friend recommended that we try this fish or eel dish.

The flesh of the long fish cut into long strips and deep fried with batter.

Next, we ordered some flower crabs cooked in sweet sour sauce.

A plate of green vegetables stir fried with garlic.

 Initially, we ordered steamed prawns but later changed it to steamed grouper fish.

The fish was quite a big one, so we chose the more meaty middle portion.

Lunch At Restoran Thong Lok, Tanjung Tualang.

After the visit to the Tanjung Tualang Tin Dredge No. 5 (TT5) and gallery ended, we were taken to Tanjung Tualang town for lunch at one of the seafood restaurant. We have been to other restaurants  but this is my first visit to this Restoran Thong Lok. 

The organizer of the trip had pre-ordered the food.

 We were seated near this fish tank.

I was told that these are "Sai Toh" fish in Cantonese.

I don't know what is the name in English.
