Love Nutrient Mee Udang Bukit Tambun (蜜屋浪) @ Bukit Tambun, Penang.

Visitors visiting Design Village Penang but intend to bring something particular for luncheon (except those fast nutrient chains inwards the mall) tin flame opt to reroute to Bukit Tambun, a modest township famous for Seafood as well as habitation to many Seafood restaurants. Bukit Tambun is roughly 10 minutes crusade away from Design Village Penang; it was 1 time the de-facto identify to watch when Penangites wanted fresh Seafood. Though it is yet pop correct right away but the hype has reduced drastically equally at that spot are many other options available for now. But Mee Udang (Prawn Noodles) Bukit Tambun offers something out of the norm, instead of the green Seafood Zhu Char dishes; it dishes out home-made Mee Udang, a proud Malaysian dish. Mee Udang is non the exclusively choice here, fresh Seafood grab is slowly to root as well as thus, aspect some simple, no frills Seafood dishes to locomote flora hither equally well. The fully air-conditioned Mee Udang specialist tin flame locomote flora at 1 of the colorful heritage houses nether the restoration projection on the primary route of Bukit Tambun (towards the right away defunct Jetty).



Mee Udang Original (Rm 7)


Mee Udang Goreng (Rm 7.90)

Most tables ordered their Original version of Mee Udang but the stubbornness inwards me insisted to bring both versions as well as that was when the exclusively disappointment of the 24-hour interval happened. The Mee Udang Goreng was heavily flavored amongst Tomato-Ketchup; the overall flavour was a tad also artificial as well as sweetness to my liking. There was a nary of Seafood sweetness tin flame locomote tasted, the exclusively relief was the sweet, bouncy White Prawns.  

On the contrary, their Mee Udang Original was delectable. The seemingly spicy Prawn broth (in blood-red hue) carried a intense Prawn flavor... a smoky but sweetness as well as irresistible taste; best complemented amongst a slightly acidic tinge from the Lime. For those who prefer a spicier dimension, explore the choice available on the dining table, their home-made Chili Dip does non disappoint.  


Steamed Kappa/ Clams (Rm 7/ 500 grams)


Steamed Eel Balls (Rm three for 5)

Simplicity at its best- the truthful flavors as well as Seafood sweetness of Clams were best demonstrated inwards the dish Steamed Kappa; the possessor volition exclusively recommend the freshest grab available for that 24-hour interval then if they are unable to root the Seafood, it volition non locomote available. The Clams were steamed till perfection along amongst a generous total of julienned Ginger, Onion Oil as well as Bird's Eye Chilies. The cloudy sauce carries the essence of the body of body of water spell the flesh was bouncy-tender; as well as when the mild spiciness kicked in, that's the best combination ever. It was simple, no frills but fragile as well as pleasing. We could non larn plenty of the Eel Balls, though nosotros don't remember they are home-made; the texture was amazing as well as amongst a uncomplicated sweetness Thai Chili dip. Most delicious when enjoyed hot.
