The evening before we left Penang, I had the opportunity to go to Beach Corner Seafood at Batu Ferringhi. This place was suggested by my partner's sister.
Seeing how popular this place is, she made reservations and pre-ordered 3 of their most popular dishes. It was a bit of a distance away (though not that far) from where we stayed.
We got there before 7pm. While waiting for the orders to arrive, we stepped out to the beach.
There were many people and as such, I did not take many photos.
I was quite hungry by then.
This is the very popular Hainanese spring rolls. This dish has to be pre-ordered to avoid disappointment.
After taking a bite, I can understand why it is so popular. The dipping sauce is pretty good too.
This one is also pre-ordered. I absolutely loved this asam fish which is cooked using the belly part of the fish which is very tender. I ate a lot hee..hee...
This is the third pre-ordered dish which is duck and yam. The claypot was filled to the brim and the contents are not visible. Sorry I couldn't dig out the yam and duck since we had company. I enjoyed this dish too, something I have never had before.
Inche kabin! My second time eating this very flavorful fried chicken. I won't get tired of this one.
This mixed vegetable dish is also quite good. It was referred to as "Teochew Char".
Lastly, the humble but ever delicious stir fried sweet potato leaves which is a favorite of everyone at the table.
This wraps up my trip to Penang!
A sweet and short visit to Penang! Food looks really good especially the duck yam dish. since you like inche kabin so much, will you cook it at home?
ReplyDeleteI have cooked inche kabin at home. Turned out not bad hee...hee...
DeleteNice getaway to Penang. Food looked good. I could have lots of the spring rolls. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteThe spring rolls was so popular,I think I only managed to eat one piece only. LOL!
DeleteI've been to that "pasar malam" at Batu Feringghi. Quite miserable, quite dead. Oooo...the food looks good!!! So that is called Teochew char - I had that not too long ago, post on it coming up soon once I get all the Kuching posts out of the way, last one tomorrow - it sure looked like it was never going to end. LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteYup, I noticed not many customers LOL! The food is worth going there. I hope to visit again.
DeleteI m drooling at all dishes! all look good and delicious....
ReplyDeleteMemang all good. Must visit again!
DeleteYou went to a Beach Corner Seafood....but didn't have seafood? Aiyah, I was so looking forward to seeing some prawns and crabs lah! So, this is a case where the food is good in a touristy place? ;) That Hainanese spring roll is like a deep fried popiah? I've had a yam dish that looked like that (but without the duck), all gooey and tasty :) The vege dish looks almost similar to loh hon chai but without the excessive gravy (never heard of teochew char vege before).
ReplyDeletehah..hah... I knew you would be disappointed. Well, I am not much of a seafood fan and seafood in such places would cost a bomb. So the only seafood was the assam fish :D Yes, the Hainanese spring roll is basically a popiah but the skin is thicker and the size bigger. I have also not heard of Teochew char vege and when I googled, I got the usual chap chye recipe hah..hah...
DeleteThe "Teochew Char" looked like Lor Hon Zai, does it tastes similar too?
ReplyDeleteThat Asam Fish, so yum.. how many plate(s) of rice u had with this? I'll probably tambah nasi, haha!
The taste is different, don't have the fermented bean taste. I only had one plate of rice, surprisingly LOL!
DeletePi Penang senyap senyap yeh hihi......
ReplyDeleteI tengok pun dah terliur LL...sedapnya. Apa isi dalam popia tu....U kan chef LL, makan je dah boleh agak camne nak buat hihi....
I pun suka makan ikan yg lembik lembik terutama bhg perut. Sedap ooo....Duck dengan Yam tu mmmg tak pernah jumpa. Camne rasa dia?
Ya, Hainom. Tengah Hainom menunaikan ibadah Haji, LL merayap ke Penang! hah..hah... Isi popia tu ialah sayur-mayur. Tak tau lah ada isi udang/ketam ke tidak. Duck dan yam tu doranhg masak dengan 5 spice powder. Boleh tahan sedap.
DeleteAll the dishes look good especially the hainanese spring rolls and assam fish. Does the spring roll taste like or hiang? what a nice and foodlicious trip to penang lol.
ReplyDeleteI detected a slight 5 spice powder taste in the spring rolls. I only managed one piece because it finished very fast. LOL!
Deletewatching the sun set over the sea, then having dinner by the beach - something penangites might take for granted, but i definitely wish we could do this in kl! :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, that would make for a great way to spend the weekend :)
DeleteOh, I have visited this place quite a while back. Good memories.
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit again.
DeleteToo bad you only managed to eat 1 piece of the spring rolls. You can try making it at home and you will get to enjoy the spring rolls. Looking forward to your recipe. A wonderful trip to Penang for you.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...you have a lot of confidence in me LOL! Yes, I has that in mind. Will look for a recipe first :)
