The Sea Pearl Lagoon Cafe which is famous for its seafood is situated next to the Tua Pek Kong Temple in Tanjung Tokong with a beautiful seaside view overlooking the North Channel. I went there several times with my family and friends for lunch and dinner.

The seafood is cooked in very simple method, with their signature dish of coal-baked crabs and salt-baked prawns. I’ve eaten baked crabs in Teluk Kumbar Seafood, Crab Village Restaurant and Khuntai Restaurant, but I find this place produces the best baked crabs. The restaurant owner relies on these two signature dishes to pull in the customers.

Straight to the delicious food!

My mouth started watering with the aroma of the baked prawns filling the air. The salt-baked prawns with the smoky taste have us sucking and licking the shell.

Updated on June 2010 : The restaurant has stopped operation.

Penang has been renowned for its ever-famous hawker & street food for a long time. However, in recent years, there have been a growing number of international restaurants popping out, especially in the regions of Tanjung Bungah and Tanjung Tokong. I was lucky enough to have tried the Swiss, Bulgarian, German, Japanese and Korean food around these area and in Georgetown.

Yesterday, while on our usual family food trips, we stumbled upon Shenanigans, the new Irish Pub & Restaurant along Jalan Tanjung Tokong with its traditional green and splendor. We pop in for a visit but to our surprise, they were holding an opening function. The Manager told us that the ala carte menu is only available on a much later date and he invited us to join in the function with free flow of beer and finger food.

Chilis in Penang is located on the ground floor beside G hotel in Gurney Drive. We went there to try out their varieties of American food. The place was packed and there was a long queue. Finally got ourselves a table after waited for half an hour.

The dining area is very warm and cosy and filled with quite a number of tables and most of them are laid with beautiful modern design tiles.

 

Browsing through the menu makes me feel hungry. I decided to ordered the triple play which is a combination of buffalo wings, egg rolls and chicken fritters. This finger food is served with three different dips (all of them is good) and very tasty.

Hubby had this ground peppercorn burger. This tasty burger is served on a sesame seed bun together with fries.
The food comes in quite a big portion. The prices of the items here are reasonable and affordable. By the way, aerated water and fruit juices are refillable. After the hearty and satisfying meal, we went to the adjoining Gurney Plaza to do our shopping. The main entrance was nicely decorated in conjunction with the Hari Raya festival.
