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.

 

DA SHU XIA SEAFOOD HOUSE 大树下海鲜饭店

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.

Road Side 大路边 @ Jalan Bagan Jermal, Penang

We have been passing by this place several times and many times when we passed by this shop, it was full of cars and the car parks are limited, and the shop is located along the main road. So during the June school holiday we stopped by this place on a weekday slightly before 7pm and there are plenty of car park spaces waiting for us. :)

Finally........ we get to savour some of the foods from this restaurant. I have a quick glance of the food from the food station and told hubby to order the food. You can choose varieties of ingredients to put in your tom yam, clear soup fish head bee hoon, milky soup fish head bee hoon, porridge and etc. You can also simply opt for the normal fish head bee hoon.

For the seating area, they offered air conditioning or non air conditioning area. We opt for the air conditioning area since it is a very hot day.

Food that we savour:

Deep Fried Mantis Prawn - RM5
Quiet surprised with the price of the deep fried mantis prawn. I reckon it is quite good to go with beer though. It is quiet a nice plate of deep fried mantis prawn before our bee hoon being served.

Deep fried fish - RM18
Hubby loves this very much. I would said that they deep fried the right way. Fish just nicely done, not too dry and still keep the crispness.

Pork porridge - RM6
Hubby had this and when this is being served we were puzzled as it was served in a big bowl. We wonder how about the rest of the order.

Bee Hoon Th'ng  with fresh fish slice - RM9

Additional- RM8.50
This bowl of fresh fish slice bee hoon soup cost us RM17.50 because of the additional ingredients hubby added on. That why it appear to be very big bowl. At the end we have to help out to finish all the ingredients.

Tom Yum Bee Hoon soup with fried fish fillet - RM7.00

Additional - RM6.00

Ah...... tom yam suppose someone is having this but at the end we swapped as she cannot take the spiciness of the tom yam. However, i feel that the tom yam is not that spicy with little bit hint of sourness and sweetness. I reckon it will be quiet a good choice if you want to find something that open your appetite. This tom yam also have some additional add on therefore  the cost of this tom yam is RM13.00. 

Ice Kopi O and Ice Nutmeg - RM1/glass.

FOOD REVIEW FROM:

Road Side 大路边

No.1 Jalan Bagan Jermal, 10250 Penang. 

Business Hour: 5pm to 12midnight. (Closed on Tuesday)

FoOd PaRaDiSe Verdict: 

I think next time I will just stick to the normal serving without the additional add on. Loves the deep fried mantis prawn, deep fried fish and the tom yam. 

RESTORAN TOP D'GURUN @ GURUN Jalan Raya, Kedah.

Last week, since it's a school holiday we decided to drop by Gunung Jerai for a visit as the last trip we went there was many years ago. Before we went up to Gunung Jerai, we passed by this restaurant and saw lots of people patronizing this shop. We decided to stop by for our late lunch at this shop.

FOODS

When we patronizing this shop there are still lots of customers but the food were limited to choose from and they still cooked it from their open kitchen. So we just grabbed whatever choices available as following:

Deep Fried assorted fishes

Their fried fishes are very tasty. I like their textures. Some places they will over cooked their fishes but this place their fishes just nicely cooked. Give it a try if you happen to drop by. 

 Curry Fish Head
Their curry fish head is another good try. Their curry gravy is very good to go with the rice. Most importantly the fish itself is very fresh. 

Deep Fried Chicken Drumstick

When we about to finish the our meal, their deep fried chicken were just ready from their wok. So we decided to give it a try, And it tastes nice although from my first instinct when i looked at the chicken drumstick, I told myself hmm..... this must be overcooked but out of surprised when I had my first bites its very crispy from the outer layer and juicy interior part of the drumstick.

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict: Good that we stopped by to try this place. The people in the restaurant were very friendly and helpful. Foods were nice and delicious. Price vice, it is very reasonable. We had all the above plus three plates of rice, we paid total of RM30.70.
