Back from my 5 days trip back home to Penang, and am now ready to upload all those wonderful photos of Penang to share with everyone! First stop, Crab Village Restaurant!
This is one of my husband's favorite place in Penang, and it's mine too! Located at Tanjung Bungah, just opposite the road turning into Chee Seng Garden. (My parents live in Chee Seng Garden, so it's just a short walk from where we stay!).
Anyway, this place serves one of the best seafood I've ever tasted. And true to it's name, it's famous for BBQ crab. And as many times as we've ever been there, we have never gotten around to taking a photo of the crab before cause we're too excited when the crab arrives on our table! That's how good the food is! But not to worry, I found a great link at the ref section where someone actually took some nice photo of the food serve here. But to be frank, we hardly order anything else but the crab, cockles, and noodles. We tried the fried oyster this time, and boy was it delicious!
Besides the great food, one of reason I highly recommend this place is because it has a very lay back setting. It's just by the beach, and you can walk along the beach while waiting for your food. And one of the most beautiful sights there is the Floating Mosque of Penang. So here are some of the wonderful shots we got at sunset while waiting for our dinner :)
If you ever visit Penang. Do drop by this place!
What's the damage it might do to your pocket? Well, 4 adults ordering 1kg of BBQ crab, a plate of cockles, a plate to fried oyster, and a plate of noodles, with 4 drinks cost us around RM90, which is like S$40???

This is a horribly overpriced restaurant which takes advantage of peak periods. I dined there recently and the bill was shocking. We had ordered beer and some ice to go with it. We were charged Rm6 for a bucket of ice and Rm5 for a plate of ice. Altogether we had 5 buckets of ice as we ordered a lot of beer we were charged RM35 altogether just for ice. The other drinks were also priced extravagantly and not as listed. When we questioned the owner he started mumbling and could not answer us. Even though the food was good it was practically daylight robbery.Altogether it was a horrible dinner and you can be sure i am NEVER returning there again
ReplyDeleteDear stranger, thanks for the feedback. I have no idea they charge so much for beer as we usually just eat the seafood there. Sorry to hear you had such a bad time there. But really, the food is good!
