Review on Ah Chui Seafood- Paya Terubong Penang.


I was requesting to have seafood for dinner since I was on a long break in Penang. Often people tell me to go to Bukit Tambun and it's so freaking far. We don't know our way there so we opted to have fresh seafood at Paya Terubong- mostly recommended by my mom's friend. Ah Chui Seafood Restaurant is located at Taman Indah, 1238 T, Jalan Paya Terubong, 11060 Ayer Itam, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. 

If you are coming here, you will bypass Ayer Itam district and the famous Kek Lok Si Temple where you can see the Goddess of Mercy statue towering at the nearby hill. 

And here's what we ordered for dinner for 5 people- freshly grilled stingray (ikan pari) with the special onion sambal sauce. Steamed tofu topped with spicy sauce and green spring onions. Yum! The tofu is the cheapest around RM8.00-RM12.00


Their famous signature dishes consists of Hokkaido style ramen cooked in a earthware pot along with groupa fish, home made fish ball soup- it has herbal taste and goji berries in it and white wine. There's also a smaller plate of prawns. Yum! Then we ordered 2 plates of deep fried sotong (squid) We also ordered again the fish noodles as we didn't eat with any rice.

 

 

Altogether 8 dishes (as we ordered double for sotong and fish noodles), I paid RM240.00 and it includes drinks as well. It was all well worth it and we dished it all down less than 2 hours. The place often gets packed after 6pm so make sure you head there early to get a spot and car park. Most people who lived around the area knows this place very well. The boss and his son who manages this restaurant are pretty friendly and cheerful.

Food quality- 8/10
Service- 8/10
Price- 8/10 (reasonable and good)
Ambience- 8/10 (Clean and bright too)
