Penang Seafood at Teluk Kumbar "Good Friend" - 好友

11th April 2008....

Today is the second day of visit to Penang. The leader decide to buy us a sumptous dinner for effort in ISO audit. CH & colleague were brought to this famous chinese seafood restaurant at Teluk Kumbar. The restaurant is a simple wooded house, which has around 40 tables, but it seems to be full all the time. The restaurant name is "Good Friend" - 好友, located at the seashore of Teluk Kumbar. Occasionally CH & colleague can smell the sea breazing.

CH's 3 colleagues already hungry and can't wait for the seafood to be served.


First dish: Steam Stingray in Teow Chew Style. CH guess not much people tried this before. Most of the people have this stingray in grill style.


Second is the stir fried bamboo shell in "gong bou" style. CH until today still thinking why the bamboo shell is oval in shape, and not in cylinder shape.


This is a must try: Sauceless Satay @ 70 sen per stick. It is tastier then a satay with sauce.

This is the stall selling the satay.


The restaurant was over crowded and parking space was in a mess, when people going back, the restaurant staff need to use the amplifier to call out the car owner to move their car.


Third is the Lala(shell) cooked in herbal soup. CH recommend everybody to ask the cook to cook it with additional one crab.


Fourth is the deep fried sotong. The sotong was nicely fried, which makes the sotong meat just nice and soft to bite.


Fifth is the fried small mantis prawn in "kam heong"(dry chilli) style. Actually CH wanted to order the steam big mantis prawn, but the restaurant already sold out the big mantis prawn.


CH actually ordered the crab cook with cheese and salted egg york. But it seem too slow to be served and one of CH's colleague rushing to airport. At last CH gave up the crab. Next time wish that CH can taste it again.

All the above only cost RM 110.00 excluding the satay, and including 10 glasses of soft drinks and food for 8 person. It was very cheap. No wonder the crowd never seem to be reducing.
