We have been to this place twice and yet I never blogged about this place before. It is located at No. 515A Jalan CM Hashim, Tanjung Tokong, 11200 Tanjung Bungah, Penang. 

Contact number: 604-8982722/ 012-5217277

It is just slightly behind Viva Food Court and next to Sentral Seaview Hotel. 

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

Golden Thai Seafood Village @ Batu Ferringhi, Penang.

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.

It has been years that I did not visit this restaurant. This is used to be one of the favourite restaurants in Tambun by many people.  Since we got visitors came for visit and would like to across the second bridge. That's why we ended up here to savour some seafood feast. Following were some of the foods that we ordered:

 Steam shell - RM8

Many visitors came to Penang and told me that they never tried this before. It is best go with dip of chili sauce.

 Prawn - RM 28

The prawn was perfectly done. Not overcooked just nice.

 In house specialty vegetables - RM20

This vegetables were kinda special. Something different. It is a combination of different vegetables, nuts and mushroom.

My visitors quite enjoyed this plate of mantis prawn with salted eggs. They reckon that it is good to go with a bowl of porridge.

 Tu Bor Sui - RM12

Mantou (Came with Chili crab)

The chili crab was quite refreshing. Combination of sweetness and spiciness together. Mantou was nice to go with the sauces. The crab was quite nice. 

Makanan Laut Jeti @ Bagan Bukit Tambun, Simpang Ampat, Penang.

When we were puzzled what to eat for dinner tonight, we came out with an idea to go across  The Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge (Penang Second Bridge). So we left Bayan Lepas area around 5:15pm and go across the bridge. Smooth traffics all the way to Bukit Tambun.  When we arrived Tambun, so many cars were lined up for parking and we make a u turn and finally get a parking space.

We have nothing in mind where to eat. We been to one of the very popular restaurant there before, so we thought to give other restaurant a try and end up, we stop at

Makanan Laut Jeti

Address: No. 1249, Bagan Bukit Tambun, 14110 Simpang Ampat, S P S, Penang.

Tel: 04 - 5880949, 019-4152934

Actually quite a full house when we arrived the restaurant. We were lead by a friendly aunty to a seat. Which is very near to the cashiers. Then we ordered drinks and waited for a while for the friendly aunty to come and take orders for our dinner. 

After finished order our foods, the satay man came to asked if we would like to try satay? And hubby ordered 10 satay chicken skewers from him.

Chicken Satay Skewer - RM0.80/pc

The chicken weas nice and tender. Just that my gal complained that it's too spicy for her but still she ate two of these in one go. After that kept drinking fresh coconut. Hahhahaha....... 

Stir Fried Brocolli with garlic - RM6

Steam Kappa with garlic, ginger, bean paste and chillies - RM10

Steam Prawn with Tang Hoon - RM 23

Kung Po Sotong - RM12

Overall, the foods were alright. The seafood was very fresh. At first hubby want to order octopus but was told that it was not fresh today. So we were happy with their honesty. Hubby likes the steam prawn with tang hoon. It is actually one of their specialties. Was thrilled to find that the kappa came in big portion. The Kung Po Sotong was a bit salty but overall, we enjoyed our meals.

We were fortunate to get invitation from Qyzzy and the management of the restaurant to attend the review of this restaurant. And we get to savour the following dishes for the night:

Tri Flavour Red Snapper 红狮三味 – RM25/pc
The red snapper was cooked using their tri flavour sauce. Personally, the sauce offers in this dish is just so-so for me. As may be I don't really like the combination. ^-^

Steamed Grouper 石斑清蒸 – RM80/kg
The steam grouper that we had is very fresh. The fish was catched by using fishing rod rather than the net. 

Steamed Clam 花芭蒸 – RM18
Freshly steamed clam and I think my gal will enjoy this.

Chicken Satay沙爹鸡串 – RM0.80/stick
Each time we visited the 好友 in Teluk Kumbar, we will sure ordered the chicken satay. However, I still like the chicken satay back in Teluk Kumbar than here. Although they claimed that they get from the same supplier. Perhaps may be the way they grilled it is some how different.^-^

Nestum Chicken – RM38, Sour Plum Chicken 麦香鸡与酸梅鸡 – RM38
You can order both of these as a combination or you can order it as seperate dish. The nestum chicken had it's fragrant but the texture of the chicken is a bit tough. My gal will surely reject to take bite of a hard textures chicken. Whereas the sour plum chicken is nothing special.

Good Friend Pork Trotter 好友猪手 – RM32/pc
Are you fan of pork trotter? Perhaps you can give this a try. But I personally feel that the pork trotter is a bit too try for my liking.

Broccoli Scallop 西兰花带子 – RM38

Crispy Tofu 脆香豆腐 – RM20
You can give it a try of this. I think kids would love it. I personally think that this dish is worth for a try for kids who take tofu.

Kum Heong Prawn 甘香虾 – RM80/kg
You must be wonder why their kum heong prawns are different from others right? Well, I think each restaurant had it's own style of kum heong. I am a big fans of prawn. However, I still like the way they prepare it "Pak Chiok" Style.^-^

Fresh Mantis Prawn

Cheese Mantis Prawn 芝司螳螂虾 – Price vary according to size (Big RM28/pc, Small RM15/pc)
I am not fans of food that cook with cheese. As it is a bit too heavy for me. I did try the cheese mantis prawn. And it tastes alright for me and if you like cheese, may be you can give this a try!

Signature Crab 招牌螃蟹 – RM50/kg
This is their signature crab. Actually most of the time I went to Teluk Kumbar, we will ordered their baked crab. My brother and sister claimed that they had the best baked crab they ever had.   ^-^ The signature crab comes with the steamed man tou. Loves the shapes of the mantou. I think if my gal saw this, she will sure finished all the mantou first. ^-^ The crab sauces are not too spicy for me. 

Teow Chew Noodle 潮州面条 – RM12

Salted Fish Fried Rice 咸鱼炒饭 – RM12

Fruits (Complementary)

Dessert 糖水 – RM12

 Overall, this restaurant is offering many different types of dishes. And for those who have kids that only can dine in air condition places, this is one of the places that you can visit for seafood.
