Gertak Sanggul Fishing Stage @ Seafood Restaurant (revisited)

If you recall from my previous post on this place, hubs and I would normally recommend the Gertak Sanggul Fishing Stage if someone is looking for a seafood restaurant in Gertak Sanggul or Teluk Kumbar.

This is a seafood restaurant cum fishing stage or pond. It is a pay-to-fish saltwater pond with a restaurant so it is quite interesting to see people fishing while you eat.

The location can be a bit far off (at the very end of Gertak Sanggul, even after Hai Boey) but the seafood is worth the long drive.

"Helicopter Snail" (I'm not sure what the actual name for this snail is but that's how I will normally order it :)

"Kam Heong Kappa"

Deep Fried Mantis Prawn with Dried Chili

"Ma La" Claypot Chicken

The "Ma La" Claypot Chicken was not too spicy and I have to say that it was quite special. I would highly recommended this if you wish to order a chicken dish.

Hunan Meat

The restaurant owner recommended this meat dish but I didn't quite get the name. I think it was some Hunan meat. The meat texture was quite special and the sauce was close to a sweet and sour sauce.

Steamed Red Snapper Thai Style

We practically licked the plate clean. I loved the sour Thai style soup. Very appetizing indeed.

Steamed Prawns with Egg White and Rice Wine

This is one of our all-time favourites at this restaurant. The steamed egg white was extremely smooth and the zest of rice wine added much flavour to the prawns and egg.

Salted Egg Crab

A must-order at this place. The best Salted Egg Crab I have tasted so far. Unlike other restaurants where they deep fry the salted egg with the crab thus leaving the crab dry, I think what they did here was to stir fry the salted egg 'gravy' with the deep fried crab. Yummy!

Deep Fried Squid

The total bill came to RM265 including two vegetable dishes and a Stir Fried "Mee Tiao". The price was very reasonable given the number of dishes and serving size.

Please try to go earlier as the establishment can be a bit shorthanded so the waiting time is normally quite unbearable around dinner or peak time. This place is open air (with the option to sit in an air-conditioned room) so you may want to bring mosquito repellant in case of mosquitoes when it gets darker.

Gertak Sanggul Fishing Store @ Seafood Restaurant Penang

Pond

Restaurant

The Gertak Sanggul Fishing Store is the only pay-and-fish pond on the Penang island. There is a seafood restaurant right next to the pond. This is our all-time favourite seafood restaurant eventhough we have to drive quite a distance to reach the place. (View its location on wikimapia)

Prawns Steamed in Egg

This is a highly recommended dish. The prawns and egg are steamed with a hint of Chinese wine.

Deep Fried Belacan Chicken Wings

Kam Heong La La

Stir Fried Prawn Mantis

Curry Fish

Claypot Tofu

Deep Fried Squid

This is another must-have dish as the squid batter is crunchy on the outside and the squid juicy on the inside.

Overall, every dish is good and price reasonable. Another must try dish is the Salted Egg Crab which we did not order that evening.

P/S: It may be a good idea to bring along mosquito repellent as there could sometimes be a lot of mosquitoes at night
