Seafood at Teluk Kumbar

Went for seafood on Tuesday despite the seafood fiesta we had over the weekend and the public holidays due to the holiday trip:)

Went to Teluk Kumbar; to one of our old seafood restaurants; Good Friend.

I have been here before; in 2005 when my mentor was here and I came here with a bunch of colleagues for dinner.

I remembered that I liked the place as it was located right on the beach and the tables gave you that near-to-sea feel:)

(Although after that I found out that most of the seafood restaurants have have that same tendency as well:)

So, we were again, the earliest customer....sigh, what to do, I am always the first:)

Nice view of the sea ler....this is the other end of the island dy....

Nothing grand; just a shack of a food stall....

And these were what we ordered:

Dried Chilli with Mantis prawns.....okay only; as it was too deep fried and the mantis prawns were small; probably too fried until it lost the succulency:p

Not as nice as MGF and also the Chai Seafood in Batu Maung...but still oklar; in fact still can feel the taste and sometimes long for it though:p

FoodBuddy wanted to try out the satay; I think it was also run by the restaurant.

Each satay costs RM0.60....and the funny thing was when FoodBuddy came back after ordering:

PickyEater: So what satay did you order?

FoodBuddy: Satay lar...

PickyEater: What satay?

FoodBuddy: Huh?

PickyEater: Chicken, pork, beef satay? (Hello??)

FoodBuddy: Ooooohhhhhhh....I dunno...

PickyEater: HUHHHH???

FoodBuddy: I just ordered satay; it's probably chicken....dun think it's gonna be pork...

PickyEater: Halal here?

FoodBuddy: I don't know

FAINTED!:p

Anyway, he orderd 5 (after a long discussion whether it was appropriate to order that number of satay:). Of course, to me, that's the power of being a Penangite...you can do just anything, they are that frugal and stingy...you can even buy 1 little kueh...try doing that in KL:p

And turns out, it was Chicken Satay....sighhhss....FoodBuddy, next time should ask lar (or probably Penangites usually assume:p )

He said it was not bad wor....but I helped myself to the sliced cucumber...my source of vegetables since FoodBuddy didn't order vegetables...sighsss....

I noticed that they were pretty calculative with the portion served; they actually cut it into half for the cucumber...in KL, they give you the crescent-shaped and thicker than this :)

And our last order; Thai-style steamed fish....it was actually a Red Snapper fish....this was not bad:)

Total bill was about Rm28...not bad; will come back of course:)
