The new Pinang Fisherman Wharf at Sunshine Square

The Pinang Fisherman Wharf has recently relocated from opposite Motorola to the Sunshine Square Annex Building Level 2.  To me this is a welcomed move because the setting is more cozy and clean.

We went for dinner on a Sunday night and the restaurant was enjoying brisk business. We ordered some of the chef's specialties which sounded rather unique.

Pan Fried Prawns with Cheese and Salted Egg

Braised Bean Curd with Dried Scallop and Black Sesame

Stir Fried Kangkung with Belacan

Deep Fried Trotter in Thai Style

Curry Fish Head

The total bill came to a little over RM200 after the 15% Sunshine card member discount, including some beer.

Overall the food was good and the ambiance very comfortable. Currently, the restaurant no longer offers the daily lunch buffet like it used to at the old location. However, the chef's specials are quite interesting and really worth a try. It is also a great location to entertain guests and hold family gatherings.

They are currently running a Super Value Promotion from 26 July to 27 August (on weekdays only from 12pm to 3pm). Read more about the promotion at the Malaysia Food Promotions blog here.

Sea Palace Restaurant Set Menu

My colleagues were so thoughtful to bring me out for lunch at the Sea Palace Restaurant to celebrate my birthday. They ordered the RM318nett set for 10 to 14 pax.

House Special Tofu

Stir Fried Long Beans with Deep Fried Straw Mushroom

Wok Fried Sea Prawn with Nestum

Claypot Braised Fish Head

Stir Fried Scallop with Asparagus

Pork Ribs

Chilled Honeydew Sago with Ice Cream

The set also includes Claypot "San Bei" Chicken and rice which are not featured here. Overall all the dishes were good and service was promt eventhough the restaurant was quite full as it was approaching Chinese New Year.

After lunch, they also a Tiramisu Cheese Cake from http://www.teeramisu.com.my/. Teeramisu is a recently opened cake house at the D'Piazza Mall. I find the cake fresh and not overly sweet. Definitely worth a try.

Federal Place Restaurant

The Federal Place is a club cum bistro cum restaurant. It also houses a Clark Hatch Fitness Centre.

The restaurant is on the ground floor of what used to be the famous Federal Theatre at Jalan Dato Kramat. It serves primarily Chinese cuisine and is right next to the bistro with a cozy ambiance.


There was only three of us so we only ordered three dishes.

Garoupa Fish Head Curry (RM38)

Inchi Kabin Chicken (RM8)

Stir Fried Lotus Root, Celery, Brinjal and Straw Mushroom Cantonese Style (RM10)

Overall the food was quite good.

The Inchi Kabin chicken was fried well to taste. We also liked how the vegetables were stir fried which retained the crunchiness of the greens. The curry fish head was a tad too sweet for our taste and we still prefer the more sour version.

The bill came to RM76.70 including drinks, towel, steamed rice, peanuts, gov and service tax.
