Love Nutrient Lim Aik Chew Curry Prawns (林翼洲) @ Nibong Tebal, Penang.

Though well-hidden at a secluded corner of Nibong Tebal, Lim Aik Chew is a long-unearthed hidden gem, the identify is known through words of oral cavity as well as inwards recent years, the ascension of social media. The identify is close to Sungai Udang, a angling hamlet close the river oral cavity of the Kerian River. Geographically close to the source of supplies, Lim Aik Chew churns out both fresh River create as well as Seafood daily but the nearly notable dish is their Fresh Water Curry Prawns, served amongst bread. It does non conduct maintain a big bill of fare but the regular patrons but know what to order, the friendly proprietor would live on able to recommend a few otherwise (usually the signature Curry Prawns as well as a Deep Fried Fish slathered amongst home-made sauce). One of import to note: arrive at brand certain yous brand a telephone telephone to Lim Aik Chew earlier your visit, it closes randomly inwards a calendar month as well as we've exclusively managed to dine-in later on ii failed attempts.



Signature Curry Prawns (500 grams for Rm 50)


3-flavored Deep Fried Siakap (Rm 30)


Stir Fried Cabbage (Rm 8)

The minimum lodge for the fresh H2O River Prawns is 500 grams but the component division is non actually that big (good plenty for ii person). It did accept a piece for them to serve the food, the identify was thronged past times a crowd of regular patrons during this long Raya holiday. The texture of the River Prawns was beyond amazing- bouncy notwithstanding flare-up amongst the essence from the sea but nosotros idea the Curry was a picayune also powdery to our liking. The season was bold but it did non actually hitting us, nosotros idea it was disappointingly average. One mutual means of enjoying this delicacy is to dip amongst steamed Bread. The combination is variety of similar Asian Lobster Roll except that it is smeared amongst Curry sauce as well as River Prawn. The 3-flavored Deep Fried Siakap fared ameliorate inwards our opinion, the sauce was addictive. It carried a balanced medley of sweetness, saltiness as well as sourness; it worked perfectly good amongst the carefully fried fish amongst trouble solid as well as crispy texture. We washed them downwards amongst a drinking glass of their home-made freshly squeezed Sugar Cane juice.
