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 REVIEW FROM:

Hua Wei Restaurant

563 Jalan Wee Hein Tze,

11200 Penang, Malaysia.

Tel: 04 - 8990207

Auntie Gaik Lean's old school eatery @ Bishop Street, Penang.

During one of the visits from a friend from Ipoh, we went out for a dinner gathering at the nonya cuisine restaurant at No.1 Bishop Street, 10200 Penang. Contact Number: 04 - 2638121

Although it is a rainy night but still there are lots of patron. 

FOOD THAT WE SAVOUR:

Hot Barley - RM3, Nutmeg Juice - RM4 and Honey Lemon - RM5

I had the nutmeg juice which I think it is something special from other restaurant as they blend the nutmeg. So you still can feel the blended nutmeg at the bottom of the glass. Normally, they will serve just the nutmeg juice. You can give this a try if you like nutmeg. As for my family, my gal and hubby do not favour nutmeg juice.

BABA DELIGHT - RM28

We were introduced to try this platter as it has the combination of spring rolls, lor bak, cucur udang and acar awak. Which was a good choice for us. As everyone enjoyed it very much and my guest loves their acar awak. 

KIAM CHAI ARK - RM20 (Small Serve)

We ordered a small serve of Kiam Chai Ark. Which eventually distribute to 5 bowl of soup for the five of us. The soup does not have the strong duck flavour. 

CURRY TUMIS - RM58

You can choose the type of fish that you love and we opt for String ray during our visit, The fish is fresh but the curry tumis does not really suits our liking.

SAMBAL PETAI - RM25 (SMALL)

This is one of the popular dishes of the night. Love their sambal petai. Nice blended sambal.

KERABU PUCUK PAKU - RM16 (SMALL)

This would be my love for the night. The kerabu pucuk paku. It is actually hand tossed fiddlehead fern (Paku) with aromatic herbs, I think if we ordered another plate of this, it would be gone in just few minutes. Really recommend to try this if you like paku.

Jiew Hu Char (SMALL) - RM22

PENGAT - RM6
To end our meal, we ordered pengat for dessert. Actually we were full from the meal so we just ordered one to try.
