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 :(

Fried Fish Bee Hoon Soup at Yummy Cottage

Yummy Cottage is a relatively new coffee shop at the junction where Macalister Road meets Naning Street. This coffee shop replaces the Thong Lek coffee shop which used to house the Super Lai Lai Bah Kut Teh.

This coffee shop has quite a number of food stalls e.g. Chicken Rice, Hong Kong style Roast Pork, Kham Kee Beef Noodles, Fish Head Curry, Economy Rice, Claypot Rice, Fried Fish Bee Hoon, Koay Teow Thing etc.

The Fried Fish Bee Hoon here is quite famous and has been featured in a local Chinese daily. My parents absolutely love the crispy fried fish and strongly recommended it to me. This was my first time trying it and I have to agree that the fried fish was really good. The Seabass fish fillets were fried very crispy on the outside while still retaining the moisture of the fish meat.

My dad requested for extra pork lard just so I could taste how crispy is the pork lard is :)

P/S: I am not exactly a fan of pork lard due to its supposed link to saturated fat
