Fresh, Fast, Cheap !

Have you heard of 'Chu Chang Kar' ?
Literal translation from Hokkien dialect - Tree Root
But this place is called
Weld Quay Tree Shade Seafood Restaurant
18 & 21 Weld Quay, 12000, Georgetown, Penang
(Just opposite Penang Ferry Terminal)

and sometimes The Restaurant Under the Tree ...

Whatever it is called, if you want 'chu char' which is fresh, fast and cheap, here is the place to be.
There is a wide selection of seafood which you choose from the 'open-kitchen' and you also decide how you want it cooked.
Also a good selection of vegetables for the healthy people.

If you are not a seafood person, you will not be left out as there is a variety of meat and chicken dishes you can choose from. 
Appetizer with chilli sauce

Coconut water - Fresh



If you have guests from afar, the whole experience is rather unique.
The ambience is different.
Walk around, old georgetown where all the murals are, take a visit to the 3D museum nearby, 
then walk to this venue.
They are opened for lunch and dinner.
One of the strengths of this place is they are super efficient.
If you are hungry, the wait is not long at all.
You may be the one wasting time choosing what you want.
Once you decide, the dishes will come your way before you can warm up the seat!

Foong Wei Heong - Most Affordable Chinese Restaurant

Foong Wei Heong
If you are local, you will know this place.
With its humble beginnings of 1 shop lot, it has successfully expanded itself to 3 shop lots at Sri Bahari Road, Penang.  Tel - 04 2626918
If you can't find the place, it's diagonally opposite The Ship Restaurant.
With inflation kicking in at rocket speed, this place from Foodie's survey seems like this is the best value for money place for good Chinese food.
The suckling pig is superb and succulent, reasonable charged.
And to save the sharks, we don't order sharks fin soup, we order a Chinese seafood chowder which tastes better than the sharks fin soup :-)
and it is cheaper too ...


This duck dish is a must order.
It first dish comes as crispy skin with pancake wrap.
The the remaining of the duck is used to make mango kerabu which is really refreshing and does not make you feel that you have over eaten too much red meat for the day, although you really have over did it :-p
Talk about cheating lying to yourself.
Vegetables ... the all time favourite '4 kings of vege fried with sambal'

Pork leg, pork knuckle, whatever you call it ... our chinese version is as good as the German ones ...
If you are celebrating a birthday, this is the traditional way of doing it, instead of the usual birthday cake.
This is really nice for a change, what more if you already had so many 'rich' dishes.
Well, if you are at Foong Wei Heong and you have no idea how and what to order,  this is the person you should look out for.
Miss Jenny, a very friendly captain, who will have no problems recommending you something that will suit your taste buds.
Ending with a sweet note, here are some choices of dessert available.
If you are a Chinese food fan, this is a MUST visit restaurant.
You can get good quality and yummy Chinese food without blowing a hole in your pocket.
Happy Eating, Happy Father's Day :-)

Gala House @ Muntri Street

Lots of cafes and chic restaurants in Old Penang ... making Penang ever more attractive.
Previously was Green House I think and then they changed owners.
Foodie attended a March birthday dinner here and was utterly satisfied.

Free wifi is very important these days for the Generation Y ...
Nice ambience :-)
The Galad Salad was fresh
Tomato soup
Mixed Grilled Platter was a pretty good 
We asked for medium rare and it was perfectly done the way we requested it.
Mashed pumpkin hidden underneath is super yummy.
Must order ...
Kimchi Salmon Spaghetti 
Something different and unique, although I found it a little sour.
Really this one is the preference of individual taste buds.
Roast chicken was succulent and nicely done.
Not dry at the breast.


Long black my must order, no fuss milk on the side :-)
Jack Daniel chocolate cake ...
To sum it all for you ...
This is a great place to have a meal with love one or to celebrate or just have a nice meal.
The ambience is nice and cosy and no one is rushing you out.
Take your time.
Good and friendly service.
The meats are well cooked to your liking.
The menu is unique with some tweeks and unique touch.
If you are lucky, you get to meet the friendly chef and his team
Keep it up guys.
Nice place ...
