Food Type :
Chinese Cuisine

About the Food :
The list of food - "Drunken Prawn", Curry Fish Head, Signature Tofu, Fried Squid, Stir-Fried Vegetables.

"Drunken Prawn" - It's actually prawn cooked in herbal soup. The fact that dang gui is used in this dish makes the soup tasted lightly bitter at the first sip but then you will experience the sweetness when the soup flows down your throat. Thre is a very light alcoholic taste as well, I believe to be the effect of some chinese wine being added as ingredient. Errm... I hope I can explain this in a nicer way. :P Oh ya, the prawns were fresh too.

Angelica sinensis or "female ginseng" is a herb from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China. Its root is commonly known in Chinese as dong quai or danggui (Traditional Chinese: 當歸; Simplified Chinese: 当归; pinyin: dāngguī) and is widely used in Chinese traditional medicine to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia and high blood pressure. Danggui possesses the distinction of being the only non-animal source of Vitamin B12, along with some varieties of yeast.

Curry Fish Head - It's not too spicy or sour. Honestly, I don't quite know how to enjoy a fish head dish, but the fish meat tasted fresh.

Signature Tofu - I like this. It tasted soft with the mixtures of vegetables in it.

Fried Squid - The fried squid is not very crunchy.

Stir-Fried Vegetables - Tasted average.

Price :
It's considered cheap, especially after years in Penang. A meal consisting of prawn, fish, squid, tofu and vegetables for 5 costs normally around RM 60 over.

Location :
Along the Pantai Bersih seaside. There are sufficient parking spaces.

Address :
323 Seafood Restaurant,
Pantai Bersih,
Butterworth,
Penang.

Specialty :
The food is not oily, not salty, not very ajinomoto-flavoured. The seafood is pretty fresh. For the taste, it's not heavy (as in too spicy, too salty, too ...).

Environment :
It's open air restaurant. So, the warms breezes might be able to cool you down.

Personal Comments :
It's cheap! It's quite delicious! For family and friends gathering and if you opt for Chinese cuisine like this, this place is certainly recommended.

My Personal Rating (of its kind) :
7 / 10
