SimpleGirl´s last blog post..My birthday
I would say the exact locations for those yummy food in Butterworth are quite out of the town like Ong Cheng Huat Seafood. Have been to this place before and find it too far away although agree with you the food is yummyyum …. there are a few places serving good thai food along Pantai Berseh too….the night view over looking Penang island is romantic while you dine!!….check it out.
we are lucky most of the time my family took us out for yummy food when we are back for holiday.
The mussels’ shells are so pretty…

Allie – You can revisit this place again.
Simple Girl – I am not too sure…but do try out the taste.
Ntan – Nice of you introducing the Thai food to me. Do update me on your other nice food outing too.
Selba – It is…but I am sure you have nicer ones over in your country.
isn’t the tuak rather alcoholish?
anyways, merry christmas to you!!!

FoOd PaRaDiSe´s last blog post..Food hunt at Sungai Bakap, Jawi
Tuak is not so strange a drink for most of us who grew up in Pg in the 60′s & 70′s……There were many Government run tuak or in Tamil “toddy” shops in Pg.
I can remember at least three of them in Georgetown… one in Cantonment Road, Pulau Tikus, necxt to the Post Office (sells the best dried curry crabs called “nandeh” in Tamil) and the 2nd one along Ayer Itam Road just next to the river just before the junction to Reservoir Gdn and the 3rd obe along Kedah Road off Transfer Road in the heart of town….
Duckie – It is, but not too sure about how many percent. My face did turn a bit red…haha
Email2me – We go sama-sama and makan again
Food Paradise – In that case, I call you to come along if I go further out of the island for food hunting…its nice to have friends going together.
Sptay – Thanks for your info. All of them are mostly sold in the toddy shops whereas this drink is sold in the Chinese Restaurant which I think is slightly unusual.
i try tuak b4,some around permatang pauh there…feels hungry everytime i view ya page^^

Singapore Short Stories – Those are their few specialized dishes…still plenty more to try out.
Lingzie – It is a alcoholic drink…my face was a bit red after I took a glass of it.
Merry Christmas to you and family. Hope you enjoy yourself tonite. Most probably, I’ll be at Rasa Sayang.
My sis goes there quite frequent. She never miss the Tuak.
CK, wishing you and your family Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
little inbox´s last blog post..X’mas present from Foodbuzz ~
Sptay is right. Tuak is toddy. To add to his list, there is one Kedai Tuak at Lebuh Macallum (goh tiau lor).
It is said that a cup of toddy could help in daily motion and prevent constipation.
Toddy is an intoxicating drink. Most habitual drinkers also consume samsu.
Toddy selling is regulated by the local government. Therefore, shop selling toddy must have a licence.
Chinese cakes – Ham Chim Peng and Beh Hua Ch-ee need toddy to boost, ferment and make crispy.
Ai ya, am just a day early than you, and now you’ve posted already.
New Kid On The Blog´s last blog post..Mama Mia – here I come!!!!!
this is a nice place to be I remember that I was there a few years back when I was working in “hell” and I bought my counter parts from US there and we ordered 1 liter of Tuak and drink until face red like monkey and we don’t dare to go back to office.
StevenGoh.com´s last blog post..Take The Money Yourself @ Mayang Pasir Chicken Rice Stall
What a fruitful trip! I personally don’t dare to drink tuak as I can get drunk easily. Hehehe! Wishing you and your family a Happy Holiday Season!
lk´s last blog post..Millet porridge
Little Inbox – Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you too.
Penang Tionghua – Wow…never knew toddy is such an important ingredient.
New Kid On The Blog – Did you eat the same dishes as I did?
Steven Goh – Lucky for me, I just drank a bit and my face was just slightly red
oh myyyy, I love toddy drinks LOL. Heard the ones from mainland the best compared to Penang and I fully agreed! It’s so fizzy and sweet compared to the sour ones! One of my friends frequently bought toddy from Pulau Tikus said it’s better there than from Macallum St. I tasted the Macallum St before and it’s not as nice. Anyone has recipe for toddy??

Hey, how come you didn’t order the whole fish but fish slices instead? out of stock or what? I tried before the tuak and vomitted the next day. Ha!

Hi!
Are you sure your location given is correct?
Thanks and regards.
Cariso – The owner recommended it, so I just follow him. The tuak is good…sorry to know you can’t take it.
Damien – I told them about this place, but time is quite limited…hopefully they get to taste the food in another Penang trip.
I am sure of visiting it again for your recommended fried tofu/ice-cream.
ynf – I think I had it right, but if there is any pointers that I have left out or written wrongly,please do correct me. I might miss out something along the way. Thanks for dropping in my blog
ck – from your direction description, is near by Mak Mandin, but the pointer pointing far away from Mak Mandin.
ynf – Thank you very much for your info. I have already corrected it. Its a bit careless of me and plus the fact that I am an islander and not 100% sure of the places in the mainland.
This shows that I must venture more of the makan places in Seberang Prai ![]()
It would be nice if you could recommend more places to me.
ck – I not from Penang. Still wandering your pointer correct or not (sorry to say that).
For seafood places, beside Tambun/Batu Kawan, Jalan Pasir Bersih, Bagan Ajam is another seafood paradise.
ck- please check this Wikimapia site,
http://wikimapia.org/#lat=5.4430836&lon=100.3961778&z=17&l=0&m=s&v=2

This is the best place for baby chick.. doubt cud get any in Pg Island. Great photography skill = Great pic = *drooling*.. Love the fresh huge fish slice too..
CK, you must try the assam prawn and wild boar.. nice too
Once I remember when i was a kid, staying at Hutton Lane, there are a 3 wheel stall comes in the afternoon selling tong tong fun (vermicelli noodle with fishball (meat inside) few slice of yu cha kuei, tong choy. This man alway ring his bell when he comes. Now hardly find this noodle. Where can i get this
Please refer to penangtuapui GPS coordinates.

we travelled from Kuantan to Penang last weekend. Had breakfast in Ipoh and lunch in this restaurant. We relied on GPS and also asked the locals because the junction to the restaurant was a bit difficult to find unless you really looked for the signboard. I agreed with most of the comments. It was good and reasonable……not too pricey as compared to other restaurant which I had tried…..such as Hau You in Telok Kumbar. Must try the local tuak….for the experience. The fish was my best dish for the day.
We tried it today, but quite disappointed wth the food, not that great. We only like the lala and octopus.
