Kemunting Lake View Restaurant

A place that selling fresh water fishes - Kemunting Lake View Restaurant @ Karangan. The reason that I love this place is just simply because of the fishes are very very fresh, especially pak soh gong.


This is my 4th visit, kinda far, if you are depart from Penang island, driving 90-100km/h, it might takes around 1 hour 20 mins. But let me tell you, IT'S WORTH!!! You definitely will have an unforgettable food trip. 


Usually I will "da pao" duck before I go Kemunting, it is allowed to bring your own food. As many of us know that Lunas famous of duck, so you should not miss it!!!
There are 2 shops quite famous in Lunas:
First, Tan Kee - famous of sweet and sour duck
Second, Hun Tai - famous of pan mee and pei pa duck. (claypot mee not bad too)
but...
you might ignore a hawker in lunas market kopitiam which is next to food court, their pei pa duck is delicious!!! Roast pork is crispy as well. (for sure, i will further introduce it on my next post for my Kulim trip during Raya week).


I personally like Lunas market pei pa duck than Hun Tai due to Hun Tai is more expensive, lesser meat. A little hints for you, if you are eating duck, roast pork in Lunas market, you may enjoy their free bottomless herbs drink (a.k.a 涼茶). 


Well, you may spend RM1 get a fish feed for those fishy before you eat them...(cruel, right? But I bet you might visit them once again just to fill your stomach.

Vintage Bulgaria Restaurant & Bar, Penang

Vintage Bulgaria restaurant & bar is owned by a Bulgarian family living in Penang. The restaurant decoration is followed by bulgarian style and the food price are fair and delicious. It's recommended to reserve during festival season. Sometimes, it is crowded and takes time to serve for your food. I had been to this restaurant for 4 times, each time also giving me surprise. 

Victoria Station Restaurant, Penang

Victoria Station Restaurant also known as "Train Restaurant". It is located in Bayan Baru and  selling western food and also turkey. For few years back, I keep on asking people where can I get turkey for christmas, now i know that victoria is selling. Not sure about the price and taste, but I wish I could try it.


This is the first time i had my dinner in Victoria Station, the place consider high class and special, especially when I sit in "train". The foods disappoint me as we ordered seafood chowder but the prawn and fish are not fresh. The steak quite 'hard' and I did not feel it is delicious. I think the only thing that will attract me to step into this restaurant should be the turkey itself.

Chicago Rib House

Chicago Rib House - This place is not difficult to find, as long as you know how to get to Gurney Plaza, you will be able to get there. It is located at ground floor, outside new wing which is next to Dome. The food portion are big and price is most likely same as chilis, it is worth for a try!


If your friend is going to celebrate birthday for you, you may have a visit to this place. As this place is far better compare to TGIF for a birthday girl or guy. There is not required to use a chili sauce or ketchup as MIC and stand on chair to sing and you definitely need not to worry will become an attraction. 

新金漢海鮮飯店 - Sin Kim Han Seafood Restaurant

I believe not much of people will purposely go to Batu Maung for "zhu char" as dinner with friends or family. It is really far from town and this seafood restaurant is located somewhere below the flat, it is not easy to discovered if you are not familiar with this area. The foods are really impressed me and price are fair.


相信沒什麼人會特地跟家人或朋友拜訪Batu Maung的新金漢海鮮飯店吃煮炒. 它位於一個比較隱蔽的地點, 不熟悉這一區的人可能不會發現它就在租屋樓下. 這些食物給我的印象非常深刻, 味道很好, 價錢也不貴.


Yam Basket (芋泥): 
評語: 很多飯店都不容易吃到, 因為製作過程很麻煩. 通常在婚宴裡會出現.
