Page 87: Hai Boey Seafood 海尾海鲜, Teluk Kumbar, Penang

End of another year (lunar year; the solar year ended around 3 weeks ago...) & as usual another pre-CNY dinner. This time we went to Hai Boey Seafood Restaurant in Teluk Kumbar. I heard it is pretty hard to find, but in fact the large signboards made it very easy to find your way if you are lost.

First thing you'll notice there is the view. Situated at the beach, you cannot help but take a stroll down to the sand & (if you're wearing sandals & shorts) the sea. There are comfortable deck chairs & also a playground (with a swing & a slide) for your kids' pleasure. I'll let the pictures do the talking...

After a little stroll, comes the food. It has some of the best dishes I've tasted. Most of the seafood is quite fresh, like crabs, lobster & fish (the tanks there prove it) & makes it better... I'll let the pictures whet your appetite...

Hai Boey...

Fried Eggplant in Meatball

This is spinach... cooking style no idea

Some tofu...

Pumpkin Prawns

Kerabu Mantis Shrimp (Hae Kor)

'Kam Heong' Crab

'Pai Kut Ong'

Fried Chicken with Onion Rings

Claypot Steamed Grouper... the whopper...
For 10 persons, all of the above dishes (plus rice & drinks) amounted to RM294.10... The price is up for you to decide but the environment is really a very nice one... always worth a visit.
