Love Nutrient Floating Seafood Paradise Eatery (钓鱼台水上海鲜) @ Bukit Tambun, Simpang Ampat, Penang.

Bukit Tambun is the de-facto Seafood house for Penangites- when nosotros desire to await for fresh as well as inexpensive Seafood, Bukit Tambun is the house to go. The recent evolution of Batu Kawan (the neighborhood side past times side to Bukit Tambun) has brought inwards large influx of visitors. The demand for fresh Seafood has increased tremendously as well as many novel Seafood restaurants convey sprung upwardly inwards the recent years. Floating Seafood Paradise is i of them. But apart from offering extraordinary seafood dishes, the dining atmosphere is i of a sort too... the eating seat floats. It sits on a man-made fish pond as well as i would experience the 'rocking dizziness' (like beingness hitting past times waves spell on boat) spell dining in-house but that's business office of the package. There's no carte du jour hither but the server volition recommend whatever they are ready to serve on that day. To honour the place, crusade along Jalan Bukit Tambun as well as await for the signage on your right, plow inwards as well as yous volition honour it presently on your left. 

Steamed Mantis Prawns on Egg (Rm 29/ past times weight)

Baked Crabs (Rm 74 for ours/ Rm 110 per kg)

Steamed Spicy-Sour Clams (Rm 12/ small)

Steamed Pomfret amongst Laksa sauce (Rm 28/ past times weight)

The diversity of Seafood hither is great- from fresh fish to crunch fish as well as crustacean; at that topographic point are only likewise many options. Ordering baked Mud Crabs was a proficient move, though the prices may appear steep, the mud crab nosotros got was monstrously huge. It weighed 700 over grams as well as needless to say, it was lip-smacking. The steamed Mantis Prawns on Egg was as delicious, the crustacean was fresh as well as the flesh was succulent; served over a sparse layer of silky shine Egg as well as premium Soy sauce. 

The steamed Spicy-Sour Clams was below par, nosotros idea the Clams were non as fresh nosotros would convey hoped. While the spicy-sour sauce did hitting the grade but nosotros idea the flavors could last bolder. Similarly, the steamed Pomfret amongst their signature Laksa sauce was somewhat less-satisfying. The season was likewise rigid that it overshadowed the fish or the fact that nosotros convey old-fashioned palate as well as prefer the traditional agency of serving steamed fish over Soy sauce.

Love Nutrient Cia Siang Seafood (Claypot Crab Rice/ 佳乡海鲜蟹皇饭) @ Bukit Tambun, Simpang Ampat, Penang.

It's all close Seafood at Bukit Tambun, a pocket-size angling hamlet famous with seafood lovers. While at that spot are many seafood restaurants inward the vicinity, non many offering Claypot Crab Rice together with Cia Siang Seafood Restaurant (at the junction of Simpang Ampat together with Bukit Tambun) claims to live on the offset to offering this specialty. It's difficult to girlfriend Cia Siang, the eating spot has a huge facade with gigantic signage together with ample parking space. Though the eating spot is non air-conditioned, the high ceiling allows natural current of air to menses inward together with the ventilation is good. There is no touchstone menu, 1 time you lot entered the restaurant, you lot volition live on ushered together with seated quickly. The cantankerous proprietor volition together with thus approach you lot inward lightning speed together with rush you lot for orders. While the nutrient did non disappoint, they did non shine either; nosotros idea the nutrient was of standard-average character but... with outrageous cost tags. 

Claypot Crab Rice (Rm 162/ yesteryear weight)

Claypot Fish Head with Yam (Rm 68)

Thai-styled Soup with Flower Clams (Rm 20)

Kerabu Chicken (Rm 30)

Oyster Omelette (Rm 20)

Stir Fried Qing Long Vegetable (Rm 15)

The signature Claypot Crab Rice was humongous together with could easily check upwards to 6-7 diners. While nosotros were satisfied with the freshness of the Mud Crabs, some of us idea that the Rice was under-seasoned. The fragrance together with flavor did non shine, it appeared to us as though nosotros were having some ordinary Fried Rice sans the seafood essence. For Rm 162, nosotros idea that was a rip-off. The server strongly recommended the Claypot Fish Head with Yam to us; nosotros honey the firm-smooth texture of the fish but were non quite convinced that the combination with Yam was good. It was an okay dish.

The Oyster Omelette was as disappointing, it was extremely greasy together with both the telephone substitution ingredients did non blend well; as though Oysters together with Omelette were served separately. It was quite wretched that the entire dish relied heavily on the Chili dip, it was rather bland on its own. The Kerabu Chicken on the other hand, was in all likelihood the best dish of the day. The Chicken was generously cutting together with served with refreshingly dressed Mango Salad with crunchy elements. The flavor combination was adept together with the texture was amazing. But together with thus again, nosotros idea the repast was over-priced; for all the inward a higher house orders including drinks, the impairment was some Rm 370 for the six of us.

Love Nutrient O Household Station Cafe (老厝站) @ Bukit Tambun, Simpang Ampat, Penang.

Cafe hopping is non actually a famous affair to orbit at Bukit Tambun, the line-fishing hamlet is seafood paradise known for an insane total of seafood restaurants but what if I told you lot that you lot could accept both inwards i go? O House Station Cafe is both a cafe together with a seafood restaurant, it promotes home-styled seafood dishes soundless inwards a cafe setting. The quaint cafe is a stone's throw distance away from the junction close Simpang Ampat together with Batu Kawan (entrance to Bukit Tambun) together with has an old-school, classic interior decor. Do non human face the usual cafe fare here, it offers home-cooked delights together with seasonal seafood offering. While elementary rice together with noodle dishes are unremarkably ordered here, their seafood dishes are non to hold out forsaken. They are bailiwick to availability (supply of seafood). Ask the friendly proprietor on the freshest orbit of the hateful solar daytime together with she volition hold out able to recommend a few; brand your reservation inwards advance if you lot accept anything specifically inwards heed otherwise.

Stir Fried Squid alongside Assam (Rm 22)

Japanese Salad- Cucumber together with Carrot (Rm 4.90)

Assam Pedas alongside Vermicelli Noodles (Rm 7.90)

We started off alongside a small-scale serving of their Japanese-influenced Salad alongside julienned Cucumber together with Carrots, dressed inwards Goma sauce. It was simple, straight but well-nigh refreshing to showtime with. The Assam Pedas alongside Vermicelli Noodles was disappointingly average. It stroke us alongside a jolting sourness, it was then potent that other flavors became likewise weak to discern. 

The dish that nosotros unanimously voted every bit the best dish of the hateful solar daytime was the Stir Fried Squid alongside Assam. The Squid was expertly cooked to the correct doneness alongside spot-on seasoning together with a touching on of spiciness. We idea the dish would hold out fifty-fifty ameliorate if spooned over rice. But it mightiness hold out a piddling expensive for the cost tag of Rm 22 (considering the constituent was non that big).

Love Nutrient Tambun Hai Eating Theatre (一品鲜) @ Bukit Tambun, Simpang Ampat, Penang.

When netizens posted photos close the massive Seafood Platter past times Tambun Hai Restaurant (一品鲜), it took the breath away from me. The house was made famous due to its gigantic Seafood Platter that tin literally serve upwards to 12 diners at i go. When it was start opened inwards June 2017, the house was flooded alongside adventurous gourmands waiting eagerly to dig inwards the tower of crustaceans; nosotros made an crusade to catch but to no avail. three months later, nosotros decided to examine our luck in i lawsuit to a greater extent than but it seems similar the hype has faded in addition to the house was less than half-occupied. For the uninitiated, the eating theatre is known to serve Hot Pot fully covered alongside Seafood in addition to the much-elaborated crustacean feast; but produce non await things to last inexpensive here. The cheapest ready you lot tin larn is Rm 118, without additional add-ons, it is unlikely to last a tummy-filling meal. But let's forget close the price, the gustation did non smoothen either, it was to a greater extent than for the novelty inwards lieu of absolute taste. 

Signature Seafood Platter (Rm 118/ serves two pax)

Deep Fried Prawn Cakes (Rm 10/ small)

Kerabu (Rm 15/ small)

Deep Fried Chicken Wings (Rm 10/ small)

There are four types of Soup bases available for the Hot Pot, nosotros opted for the Thai-styled Sour Soup. The soup was veering towards the sweeter side in addition to lacked the sour touch. Generous serving of Clams but the Prawns were non equally fresh equally nosotros would bring hoped; the flavour combo did non actually hitting us in addition to inwards fact, it was monotonous towards the end- everything tasted the same in addition to the seafood sweetness was muted. 

To share, nosotros had the Deep Fried Prawn Cakes, three gigantic pieces of Deep Fried Prawn Cakes served alongside Thai-styled Chili dip. The overall texture was good- crisp edges alongside bouncy filling but the Prawn chemical subdivision did non stand upwards out. It was equally if nosotros were having only about random deep fried delights. But it was non equally disappointed equally the Kerabu. We expected the Kerabu to last in... existent Kerabu- crunchy greens dressed inwards sweetness in addition to sour dressing but no; it was a plate of under-cooked Glass Noodles served alongside Prawns (with shells) in addition to heaps of chopped Chilies. It was basically tasteless alongside a sudden spiciness.
