Teluk Kumbar Good Friend Seafood Restaurant (GPS: 5.28644, 100.233), or Hao Eu 公巴好友海鲜 is a seaside restaurant in Teluk Kumbar. Good Friend Seafood is popular because it is priced relatively reasonable, and draws crowds of patrons, especially during the weekends. It is one of my favourite seafood restaurants in Penang. Its proximity to the residential places in Bayan Baru, Bayan Lepas as well as the new housing estates in Batu Maung, Sungai Batu and Teluk Kumbar provides it a good catchment of regular customers.
Located at the beach of Teluk Kumbar, Good Friend Seafood has a nice view, especially in the evening, when the sun is setting. The restaurant is nothing pretty, just a collection of sheds and tables arranged on the beach.
Also available at Good Friend Seafood is Batu Maung Satay, so named because it was introduced to the public in Batu Maung, at another now defunct seafood restaurant. The satay is different from regular satay in that it does not come with a dip - the sauce has been added to the meat when served.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
