Ocean-Green Restaurant & Seafood

WeLovePenang — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 13:22:40 +0000

Hidden from the main road is a well known seafood restaurant own by Paramount Hotel. However weird it may seems, I always prefer having seafood beside the sea because it gives me the sense of freshness no where else can offer. The restaurant not only offer a great view of the sea but also seafood at reasonable price.

My favorite dish at the restaurant is cheese baked crab (RM6 a piece). Other than that, I kind of like their fried bean curd with sushi type seaweeds (RM8). As far as I can recall, this is the first time I tried that dish. However, I found out that their fried mantis prawn in duck egg yolk is only average. It cost a bit more than one of the seafood restaurant in Butterworth (will review it soon). The cost is RM10 per 100 gram. One mantis prawn is around 300 gram. I ordered fried noodle (RM6) as a stomach filler.

Old Town Kitchen Hokkien Mee

Locating not far from the Kim Seng Restaurant Koay Teow Soup is another coffee shop competing for the appetite of the breakfast-goers. The specialties of this coffee shop is Hokkien Mee; one of my favorite hawker fare and they have been selling it since my parents’ time. You can bet nothing can go wrong with a dish that sold for so long. Each time I visited the coffee shop, I ordered dry version of the Hokkien Mee. I don’t know exactly why. Maybe, no one can make the dry hokkien mee as good as theirs. A regular bowl of the dish (dry or with soup) cost RM3.50. A smaller serving is RM3. You can add other side dishes such as fish ball soup and “bak kut”. The restaurant serves hokkien mee everyday except Monday from 8am to 2.30pm.
