Rumpun Mambu, Tanjung Dawai

Rumpun Mambu, Tanjung Dawai (25 July, 2015)


Rumpun Mambu (GPS: 5.683754, 100.361050) is a Malay seaside restaurant in Tanjung Dawai, Kedah. It sells Malay dishes including various types of fried rice and fried noodles.

My wife and I had our dinner at this restaurant when we explored Tanjung Dawai. We arrived at the seaside in the early evening, and saw that the area has turned into a big pasar malam. There was quite a lot of people around, though mostly local Malays.

Here I am at Rumpun Mambu. After this shot was taken, we jumped up because we discovered a horde of black ants suddenly coming out from the ground. We must have disturbed their nest. (25 July, 2015)


We looked around for a place to eat and saw that Rumpun Mambu is just about one of the few restaurants in the area. Service was quick. As soon as we sat down, the waiter came over to take our order. But after giving our order, we discovered that we have to move to another table. The reason is, that table was under a tree trunk, and suddenly a horde of black ants erupted out of the ground!

We then shared a table with another family who had just finished eating. We ordered nasi goreng pattaya and nasi goreng biasa and mee udang. The portions were a bit small. The prawns were large, and surprisingly not as fresh as we would expect (from a seaside place). But other than that, it was quite tasty, and so we still enjoyed the dinner.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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