Penang Restaurant – Teluk Kumbar Seafood

Posted by: CK Lam in Bayan Lepas, Chinese, Penang Restaurant, Seafood

Dinner for the family during the weekend was deliciousness right from the sea in a seafood restaurant in Teluk Kumbar. The restaurant, Teluk Kumbar Seafood is located behind the closed down Yellow Bus Terminal on the left side of the road from Penang airport. I have always wanted to try the food at this place after seeing Little Inbox review some time back in January.

This restaurant with its quiet and pleasant location also has a good picturesque sunset view off Gertak Sanggul. The dinning area of the restaurant is extended right on the beach. A stroll down the beach was very relaxing while waiting for the food.

Fishing boats in front of the restaurant.

We had a few seafood dishes and it started off with the four meat crab costing RM52. The crabs were served in two different ways. Two of it was baked (panggang) with the other two in sweet and sour sauce. I like the baked crabs as you can taste the burnt flavour and the sweetness of the crabs.

Baked crabs for a starter!

Succulent sweet and sour crabs.

Stingray Siam style – RM15. This fish was steamed with plenty of salted vegetable, ginger, chili and cabbage. The taste is truly marvelous.

Razor Clams – RM6. This stir fry dish comes in a slightly starchy sauce.

Deep fried Calamari – RM6. The flavourless squid rings goes in hand with the lightly crisp batter. The texture is just right, not too chewy.

The sauce of the sweet and sour crab goes well with either rice or bun (man tou). It’s just finger licking good in all ways.

We also had additional sticks of Satay from the stall beside the restaurant. The variation sold here is grilled with the sauce and served with cucumber at RM0.70 each. We top it up with Nutmeg, Soybean and Barley drinks.

We truly enjoyed the dinner. Get the telephone number to make a reservation at this seaside restaurant especially on the weekend and public holidays. Click here for the Map Location.

Eh.. I thought this place is called Good Friend (Hau You) seafood? Did they change name? By the way, I am absolutely in LOVE with the SATAYS! I think they’re GORGEOUS and DELICIOUS! In fact, I look forward to the satay more than the seafood whenever I visit this place. Hehe

very nice shots …. can almost feel the breeze while tucking into the crabs and such.

mantou with the crabs would be better than rice, not too heavy I feel.

at 70cents/stick the satay is more exp than Kajang’s!

Iamthewitch – Thanks for bringing it up. It is the same place, just that Hau You is in Mandarin and Teluk Kumbar Seafood is in English.

J2Kfm – I still prefer eating my crabs with toasted bread, the benggali type of white bread but not every shop sells those type of bread nowadays.

We tried few baked crabs before from different restaurant but this is still the “best” baked crab that we had tested so far. Next time try their clams/kappa soup with chinese herbs. It is very sweet and tastes nice. Your photography is getting better and better. ^o^

Allie – Maybe for the next gathering can arrange for a seafood dinner, then can order lots of dishes.

Big Boys Oven – There are plenty more dishes that comes with different prices to choose from too.

SimpleGirl – Do go and try it…you get fresh food.

Nic (KHKL) – That sounds like a relaxing good life and I don’t mind having one too.

Penangtuapui – Other customers might not have the chance to eat the satay when the tuapuis sapu every stick.

New Kid On The Blog – Its still alright…our whole family was feeling ok after the meal.

Foodbin – The nutmeg drinks are pretty good, goes well with the lime.

lk – We can consider this restaurant on our next outing.

duckie – The crabs were well done…do try others too.

Elin – Sure is a nice place to get away from the town centre…very peaceful with fresh seafood.

Lingzie – A slow drive up here and a nice stroll down the beach with delicious seafood would be a nice outing for the both of you.

One Big Mouth

Yes, a nice place for seafood .. great food with a view. Great review and pictures. The smell of “burnt” crab from the kauli baking is definitely tantalising.

“Beginning of the world” in Batu Maung and restaurant next to the temple in Tanjong Tokong also have great baked crabs .. haven’t been there for ages .. are they still around?

March 12th, 2009 at 9:17 pm

CK Lam

Sheetal – Thanks for visiting my food blog…will drop in your place too.

550ml jar of faith – I know this will be the restaurant that you will be heading to in your next trip back home…haha

One Big Mouth – The ‘burnt’ crab is a must have dish.
Both of the restaurant that you mentioned are still around as far as I know.

the price is cheap by comparison. There is a similar rest. along Pantai Bersih in mainland. My uncle took me there once and since he knew the fisherman well, and that I like sashimi. He called up the fisherman and asked what was in stock. I was shocked when he said…
A PUFFER fish…. suffice to say I live to tell the tale.

The Satay is the best!!!

March 6th, 2010 at 12:32 am

jalancarimakan

yes, we were there for the seafood. We started from Kuantan, breakfast in Ipoh, lunch in Parit Buntar Seafood and dinner in this seafood restaurant. Agreed the food was good…….but not really 100% customer friendly. Need to pay RM1.00 for the ice tray. When the ice runs out, you still pay RM1.00 for top up. And yes…..the satay a bit pricey for that type of standard. Will I go again????? Unless I’m in Penang Island and also find another better one than this. Otherwise I will go to Ong Cheng Huat in Bagan Lallang Butteroworth. The seafood is good and cheap here……many times cheaper than this Hau You in Telok Kumbar.
