When we reach this place, it was already evening. Inside our stomach already pre-occupy with Satay Celup that we thought eating abit ended up taking and taking from the fridge. Now a bit regret.
 
Choe did work here for a period of time then she mention that this is a good and famous place by the sea. I had some imaginations in my mind as she said that the seafood here not cheap. So given a pre-picture of pricing, thought that it would be a ideal place with restaurant by the sea.

Mana tau when I reach the place, I was like Down! Its’a food court feel. Even the one is Esplanade, Penang is even better with the environment.
 
Maybe I just came back from Macau not that long, as my concept of Portugese Settlement is something like the concept there. Never thought that it would be totally different.


There are 10 stalls of seafood here. Wonder how they do business. Mini Jakarta..that’s what i thought off. Then Choe said that this stall served better seafood as the first stall is popular with the tourist. Then what I heard the story was very fuuny. If you are a DAP or any opposition supporter they will have conflict with that stall owner. Then I was like har..like dat also can ah..thought is 1 Malaysia?hrmmm…..

The order of ‘Kangkung Belacan’ cost RM 6 taste not any much different from what we eat in any part or any corner.

‘Fried Sotong’ seems to be a bit dissapointed with too much flour is like eat flour more than sotong. RM10
 
‘Butter Prawns’ if not mistaken cost RM15. Lack of the taste of butter and the kick in it. Its at acceptable level.
 
‘Lala’ is something slightly better in taste wise, covers with ginger and the chili spicy taste. At least make our taste bud working. RM10
 
Never a big fan of ‘Bendi’. Pale in taste, prawns nearly not fresh yet okay loh. RM6
 

Among all the dish, ‘Black Papper Crab’ is the best of all. Fresh slices of crab meat, pangang with black peper powder and some springkles. RM32 

In the end, we were quite full from the previous satay. Havent come to a stage with the satisfaction feeling yet.
When we about to go off, here is the amout of crowd that pour into the place. Every of the each individual stall got their very own crowd. By walking around the area, still feel that the food presentation of STall 1 looks better and tempting. Next round I susppose.
This is the stall that located next to this shop.
 
Its a ‘Mango’ drink. Something very unique yet freshing and appetite oppener. Guess how many cups I drank. If not mistaken 3-4. Its blend with young mango, that’s how the sour flavor got juice out. Very nice. Highly Recommended by me even though you are around the area. RM2.50

Seafood wise, even the price is cheap but the food quality is above average, maybe would encourage you to try other stalls.
