Penang Food – Terubong Seafood @ Paya Terubong

Posted by: CK Lam in Air Itam, Chinese, Chu Char, Penang, Restaurant, Seafood

Terubong Seafood is one ‘chu char’ that is tucked away in a row of shop houses facing the very busy Jalan Paya Terubong. This place specializes in seafood and is popular among the neighborhood!

Straight to the good stuff! They commonly serve this small prawns deep fried as prawns fritters. It tasted good dipping it in chili sauce.

Then it was the grilled stingray served with a tamarind sauce with onions. Very appetizing with the white rice!

The sauce of the grilled fish was spicy sweet, coupled with the fantastic onions!

Next was the homemade fishball soup which itself was very fragrant with some added Chinese wine! The fishballs in the soup were squarish in shape with a soft texture. I would recommend everyone to try out this dish.

Steamed Assam fish… their sauce was very unique! Fish fillets done just right, and with the sweet and sour sauce, it topped off our meal.

We had the sambal belacan fried with lady fingers. It came with great aroma and nice belacan flavor. This dinner cost RM85 inclusive of drinks.

Sambal belacan lady fingers, awesome!

modo alimentare – Will sure to check out the two dishes that you recommend…fried sotong sounds good.

550ml jar of faith – The fishball is not as bouncy as those commercially produced but still have its own texture. The soup is very flavorful.

Big Boys Oven – You be surprised…the whole place was packed.

Little Inbox – There are so many varieties that I went back several times to try them. out.

Got to try this during our coming trip to your lovely Penang. By the way where is Paya Terubong?
The fish balls (square) is no longer found in Singapore. So this is a must makan dish.

Life for Beginners

Nothing quite like homemade fishballs, which one can always spot by their irregular shapes… A lil TLC goes into the final flavour, ja?

Thank you CK for leading us there. It was an excellent dinner. All 12 of us confirmed this is one Seafood Restaurant we should go on our next trip to Penang.
We also had very good seafood at Restoran Jety 1249 Bagan Bukit Tambun.
Hot Wok was a disaster, especially the Siow Bak with chincalok.

went to this place a couple of times..
but just a heads-up, if you ever go during special days/public holidays, be ready to wait for 1-2 hours!!
My parents got fed up so no more going there! hahaha.
Btw, there’s lots more chu char outlets in Farlim!! Do hunt around

Hello Ms. Lam,
If this is the same shop, I was taken there by my cousin/aunties in October 09 for the best seafood I have eaten.
I especially enjoyed the ‘Ikan Pari’ (Stingray), and it looks like the photo you have posted here.
Please enlighten me if this shop had displays of plaster/pottery artifacts and paintings which were done by the young lady of the shop.
I cannot remember her name, except her family name which is LAW (her name is possibly Law Fay Ming, or something like that!).
We struck up a conversation and established a small bond of appreciation for her artwork.
Anyway, the seafood is extremely delicious and highly recommended.
Cheers from Melbourne, Australia! Regards, Alexis

I am a seafood fan, and oh my, thanks for sharing this place…I have been hearing so much about Paya Terubong seafood but I do not know which one to go to.
There is finally a place in Penang which serves these yummy homemade fishballs…YEAY!~
