Sunshine Bay Seafood @ Tanjung Bunga, Penang.

We have been pratonizing this place for few years now but never get the chance to blog about it until recently we dropped by as to bring my family members for dinner. 

This is actually their first time visited this place. I'm glad that they are happy with the food that we ordered.

Food that we savour:

Curry Fish - RM56

The fish is very nice and tasty. The fish is in fact very fresh. Quiet a big serve but luckily we managed to finish it.

Bittergourd with eggs - RM12

I told my aunty about this dish before we enter the restaurant and she is asking me what so special about this dish that one of my cousin never failed to order this dish each time of her visit.

After she savour it and she fell for it. If you like the way they cook, you will definitely love it.

Guinness Stout Chicken - RM18

Very tasty, tender and juicy chicken. No matter young or old people. They love it.

Kappa Mee Sua - RM24

This is actually one of their famous and popular dishes. Since this visit, my aunty is mee sua lover. We ordered this for a try. The serve is really huge in size. It is really a tasty dishes that I would recommend you to try. Even my gal are not fancy of mee sua and she loves it.

Beancurd - RM16

The sambal sauce is very delicious to go with the soft and silky beancurd. 

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict:

We are pleased with their food. A wide range of choice to choose from. Whenever we dropped by for a visit,  they will always have new dishes. Food were delicious. Parking vice, you can park in front of the restaurant or nearby the Malay stall and get a number from them and passed to the boss. They will settle the parking fees for you. A piece of advice, please drop by early or make a booking to avoid full house.

Food that we savour:

During our two visits, we ordered different food to try:

Spring cabbage with preserved Vegetables - RM18

I did not try kailan with preserved vegetables (Mui Choy) before. The combination of the two vegetables are well blend together. Something different to try out.

Pork ribs with grape sauce - RM25

 

Assorted tofu with abalone sauce - RM25

Have tried this duo tofu before when we dined in at Bali Hai Seafood. My family members love it very much. The tofu are very soft. This plate of tofu gone within few minutes.

Curry fish slice - RM30

Curry was very fragrant and nice in aroma. The fish was very fresh.

Nonya style steam fish - RM48

We chose snapper fish for the Nonya style. This is what we order for our second visit. We love this Nonya style snapper fish. The fish is very fresh and the sauce is very nice to go with rice. Would recommend you to try this.

Stir fried eggs with bittergourd - RM12

I am glad that I ordered this dish for a try. As all of us love it very much. The egg was stir fried to just perfect. Not over cooked or undercooked. If you love bittergourd with egg, give this a try!

Glass noodle and Bee Hoon - RM6

The combination of this stir fry glass noodle and bee hoon was quite nice. 

Duo dish chicken - RM30

This is the combination dish. One with the grape sauce and another one which we quite love it. The texture is like fish cake but more firmer. I reckon you to give it a try if you love fish ball textures.

Desserts that we consume:

Complimentary jelly

Hai Wei Restaurant @ Tanjung Bungah, Penang

The restaurant that I am going to blog about today is a place at Tanjung Bungah. Most of the people who stay at Tanjung Bungah area would have known this place.

Actually we heard about this place for quite sometime. But we only visited this place few months ago and the latest was weeks ago.

Business was really good during our visit. The first visit we did not had the chance to try out their crab rice. So the second time we called for reservation of the crab rice. 

During our first visit, we tried:

Cincalok Prawn

All of us love the prawn very much. This is the first time for me to try savouring prawn cooked using cincalok. The prawn itself is very fresh. 

Curry Tumis Fish

This dish is very appetising. It is actually tastes a bit like Penang laksa soup. A balancing of sweetness and sourness from the soup. Fish were very fresh too. 

Stir fry lotus root with snow peas, carrot, black fungus and mushroom

During our second visit, we tried the following: 

Ice nutmeg - RM2.50 each and ice chrysanthemum - RM1

Crab Rice - RM79

If you would like to try this crab rice, you better call them and pre-book. I was fortunate on that day. I call around five something and was told that they still have crab rice for the day. Sometime, you can try your luck on the spot to see if you are lucky to get it.

Well, this crab rice is for 4 of us. Which off course including my princess. We were very full after savouring it. No wonder we were told that having crab rice would be enough. 

Well, we managed to finish all the crab but still left some rice.

Cincalok Squid - RM12

Well, we tried their cincalok prawn before and loves the sauces. So we decided to order cincalok squid. It was equally delicious for cincalok squid and cincalok prawn.

FOOD THAT WE SAVOUR:

 Stir fry Radix Notoginseng Leaf with garlic (田七菜）

The first time I came across this vegetables is from a vegetables stall in Cameron Highland. I never saw this kind of leafy vegetables before so I asked the auntie about it. Then she recommended me to buy it and just stir fry to eat. As an adventurous person in food, we decided to give this leaf a try. 

Well...... we love the vegetable after we cooked it. But I hardly saw this in the market. So every time I went to Cameron Highland, I will search for the vegetable stalls for this. 

This is the first try for all the relatives and cousins from my hubby side. As they never tried it before. It has a bit of bitterness in taste. But for us, we can  accept it even my gal. As this leafy vegetable is very smooth in textures.

 Hot Plate Sizzling Tofu

 Black Pepper Spare Ribs

This black pepper spare ribs are one of the favourite dishes for them. As the spare ribs are really tender and juicy. Which is totally my gal type of dish. Actually for us, I did not really taste the black pepper on this spare ribs. But the tastes were awesome.

 Lemon Chicken

Deep fried lotus root with salted eggs

This is one of the dishes that I want to try out. As I heard about this dishes not long ago. We love lotus root very much. We love it with the soup, stir fry and deep fried. But we never came across to deep fried it with the salted eggs. 

Steam grouper with special sauce

The steam grouper is very fresh from the aquarium tank of the restaurant. The taste vice is not bad.

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict:

This is the first time we savour their foods. Thanks for the lovely invitation from our relatives and cousins. Food was quite nice. This is another place to dine in at Sungai Petani, Kedah.

DA SHU XIA SEAFOOD HOUSE 大树下海鲜饭店 @ Lebuh Victoria, Penang.

If you are the frequent visitor of the Weld Quay Restaurant at Tree Shade then you should know they have moved to this new place at Lebuh Victoria. Which I think is better as they also have their own car park just a few minutes walk away. 

We have been patronising this restaurant for many years and you can view our review here.

Foods that we savour:

Papadam and Curry Sauce

They usually will serve the papadam and the curry sauce after you place your order.

Spiky Snails 

After our guests browse through the food order station and they decided to try some of the foods that they never tried before. One of them would be spiky snails. Actually they just blanch the spiky snail for a short time and serve with chili sauce.

Clam - lala （甘香啦啦）

Their stir fry lala is a bit special as it was cooked with the kang kung (马来风光) and sauces. My guests love it very much.

Stir fry chinese chive vegetables with fresh mushroom (清炒青龙）

If you like chives then you will love this dish but if you cannot stand the chive aroma then you should not order this dish. For my guest they never had this type of vegetables back in their country. They enjoyed the dish very much.

Sweet and Sour Red Snapper

Fish was nicely deep fried. Still got the crunchiness. The sweet and sour sauce is just nice.

Stir fry petai with sambal

This is my hubby and gal favourites. Not many child will like petai though but surprise enough that I found that my hubby's nieces love it very much.

Deep fried soft shell crab with salted eggs

This is the big hit for the guests. They just love it. The salted eggs coated evenly with the soft shell crab. It has a nice aroma and also the crunchiness.

Octopus (Tu Bo Sui) 

The octopus was nicely blanched. Not over or under cook. It is just nice to go with the sauce.

Table Setting

Foods that we ordered and tried : 

White Rice

Thai Mango Salad

We order this as an appetiser for them to try. It has a fine combination of sweet, sour and hint of spiciness. Quiet a nice appetiser.

Chili Crab
Uncle Hoe loves chili crabs very much so this is officially one of the top dishes for the celebration. The sauce used to cook this chili crab is nicely done. Not too spicy which really suits the taste buds of the guests.

Deep Fried Bun
Everyone enjoying these buns to go with the chili crab. 

Steam Fish

This is  the first time I savour this fish (France Flounder). The taste of the fish meat is quite firm and nice.

Stir Fry Vegetables

Poached Prawn

Everyone give a thumb up for this dish. As a prawn lover like me, I usually like to eat the prawn the simple way and yet very delicious and tasty. The timing of cooking the prawn and the freshness of the prawn are the key factor in this dish.

Kang kong Sambal Belachan

Stir fry clams with spring onion

Grilled Butter Garlic Tiger Prawn

We were introduced to try this grilled butter garlic tiger prawns. Which turned out to be quite a nice selection of choice. But I think half of the tiger prawn for some of us is too full.

Mango Tango Cake from Brix and BAUME
We stopped by Brix and BAUME when we were on the way to the restaurant for the birthday cake. We choose Mango Tango for the birthday celebration as many of the guests love mangoes. Which was also a surprise birthday cake for Uncle Hoe and thank you for the auntie below who helped us for the birthday song dedication and celebration. The services rendered to us by her was excellent.

Uncle Hoe with happy and cheering auntie.

==============================================================

Golden Thai Seafood Village also performs cultural dance. They also take photo with the guest and also dance with the guests too! Which is also a memorable day for my guests. Following were two of my guests dancing with the dancers. 

Dance with the dancer.

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict:

 It was quiet a nice place for catching up. Live entertainment and also have a nice sunset view too! 

Sea breeze at night. Food were delicious. The only draw back is one or two of the waiter and waitress not really understand English. Perhaps they are just part-timer. But overall good service.
