We ordered several fish dishes. We ordered the steamed catfish and in sweet-and-sour tilapia. I have to say that the freshwater fish taste a bit "earthy". I think these two dishes are the specialties here, for I saw almost every table ordering more or less the same thing. Ordering is made easy as the menu is posted on a board, so you just need to point to what you want. In addition to fish, there is also edible paddy frog, which can be prepared in sweet-and-sour sauce, or deepfried, and venison. Among the vegetable dishes include stir-fried bean sprout, lettuce in oil, spicy kangkung, spicy sweet potato leaves and clear fried vegetables.

The catfish is breed directly from the lake below, and caught when ordered. So they are as fresh as it gets.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
