Ocean Green Restaurant & Seafood

Ocean Green Seafood Restaurant is undoubtedly one of the most famous seafood restaurants in Penang and has been around for a while.

We were there for lunch one day and ordered some of their most famous dishes. Their price has always been in the upper range so we were not very surprised when the bill came to ~RM1,000 for 12 pax, including drinks.

Steamed Gobi with Soy Sauce (served with boiled beehoon)

Stir Fried Crab with Salted Egg Yolk

Deep Fried Spring Chicken and Inchi Kabin

Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab

Stir Fried Kailan with Topshell and Hawaiian Nuts

Kerabu Tofu

Deep Fried Spring Rolls (Choon Piah)

Lobster Thermidor

Boiled Fresh Tiger Prawns

Sizzling Oyster with Egg

Overall food was good especially the Sizzling Oyster with Egg, Boiled Fresh Tiger Prawns, Steamed Gobi with Soy Sauce, Kerabu Tofu, Lobster Thermidor and Stir Fried Kailan with Topshell and Hawaiian Nuts. Some find the salted egg yolk a bit overwhelming for the Stir Fried Crab dish but I love salted egg yolk so I wasn't complaining :)

The Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab were unfortunately not crispy enough to some. Personally, we felt that the Deep Fried Spring Chicken were a bit overrated and we have had better Inchi Kabin elsewhere.

P/S: Sorry, picture quality not exactly great because I took them in a hurry :(

Home's Cafe White Coffee

Orange White Coffee RM3.40

Honey Lemon RM3.20

Home's Cafe is apparently the "off-spring" of Lian Thong coffee shop which is claimed to be one of the oldest coffee shops in Malaysia. Lian Thong's origin is in Ipoh and Home's Cafe has just joined the likes of 'modern' coffee shops which has sprouted in Penang recently (e.g. Old Town, Roti Bakar Kopitiam, Island Red Cafe, Georgetown, White House Coffee, Mainstreet etc.)


It has just opened at the new D'Piazza Mall, a stone throw away from Sunshine Square and Mayang Mall. The ambiance is cozy with marble top round tables normally found at traditional coffee shops.




They serve most of the usual food that you will find at 'modern' coffee shops with some variations e.g. Nasi Lemak, Prawn Mee, Assam Laksa, Curry Mee, Ipoh Hor Fun, Tom Yam Cintan Noodle Soup, Western fares e.g. Chicken Chop, Fish & Chips, Toasts and Eggs etc. They also serve a variety of flavoured white coffee, ice blended drinks etc.

Prawn Mee RM5.90

Ipoh Hor Fun RM5.90

The Prawn Mee was full of flavours and is worth a try. As for the Ipoh Hor Fun, I still prefer the Old Town version.

The Orange White Coffee was a special twist from the normal white coffee. Definitely worth a try.

Home's Cafe signature instant white coffee is also sold at supermarkets.
