A visit to Sunshine Bay for dinner had the few of us indulging in several types of seafood dishes. This eatery, located in Kedai Kopi Sin Eng Huat at Tanjung Bungah is just right beside the traffic light junction, directly opposite  the famous Penang Tanjung Bunga Goreng Pisang stall. The place looks quite old with the fluorescent lightnings going on and off during our visit on a rainy day. Anyway, the food was awesome!

I am sharing the absolutely scrumptious noodle dishes first. The Kappa Mee Suah and the Stir Fried Noodles with Crab are two lovely choices that we started with. Meesuah was smooth on the tongue and extremely flavorful with the egg and fresh kappa.

On the other hand, the yellow noodles are stir fried with crab, robust with the crustacean juices. The noodles are best left absorbing the gravy as it tends to get slightly moist and more flavorful. I could not resist a second helping of the noodles! The crab flesh was juicy, and with the gravy coating it, the dish was heavenly!

Goreng pisang is a filling and tasty snack to have in between meals. There are a few Chinese stalls that I patronize and the Penang Tanjung Bungah Goreng Pisang stall is one of them. It is located on the left hand side of the road leading to Batu Feringghi and has been serving its customers for the past forty years.

Our family had the experience of tasting Bulgarian food at the newly opened Vintage Bulgaria Restaurant & Bar located at Sungai Kelian in  Tanjung Bunga, Penang recently.  This is the first Bulgarian restaurant that made its debut in Penang. It is located right beside Ingolf’s Kneipe German Restaurant.

The big signboard of this restaurant first caught our attention when we were dining at Ingolf’s .

We were surprised to be greeted by a traditionally dressed doorman when we entered the restaurant from the back entrance.

Their staff were quick in guiding us to our table. As soon as we were seated, a plate of mixed fruit cocktail is served. For drinks, we were recommended the Mango Lassi. This yogurt like drink was creamy and smooth.

There were so many mouth watering dishes to choose from and after much deliberating among ourselves, we end up having the Chicken Hyberabad, Gobi Manchurian, Masala Chicken and a vegetable. The curry of all the dishes were very flavorsome.

After the meal, we treat ourselves to three different type of desserts. The Banaras Son Palpua – has a crisp and flaky texture, Palkoa garnished with pistachio nuts and lastly a cup of ice cream. All of them are tantalizingly sweet.

There are more dishes that we love to try on our next visit and their Tandoori is one of them.

We were happy with their services as their staff were very attentive and helpful. The place is so clean and well maintained. Definitely no hesitation in entertaining friends in this lovely place.
