Restoran Fishing Village Seafood is located at Telok Bahang, approximately 7 minutes drive from Hard Rock Hotel, Penang. Two days in a row we had our dinner here. Surprisingly I really enjoyed the cheese baked oyster. I normally don't eat oyster due to the slimy, slippery and chewy texture. However their cheese baked oyster was really delicious. Oyster topped with creamy cheese, chopped onions, spring onions and sliced mushrooms. The combination was perfect! Besides cheese baked oyster, we ordered steamed clam with Thai sauce, stir fried kai lan with oyster sauce, fish (cooked in 2 different styles - butter garlic fried fish & steamed fish with lemon grass "Thai style"). The dishes were good. On the second day, we tried the garlic steamed oyster. It was nice but cheese baked oyster still the best. We ordered few more dishes such as clam cooked in kam heong style, salted egg mantis prawn and black pepper deep fried crispy s...

Three days in a row we had our buffet breakfast at Pizzeria, an open air restaurant leading to the pool. Our stay in Hard Rock Hotel comes with buffet breakfast for 2 person. I'm not impressed with the buffet breakfast because the selection here are rather limited. The buffet breakfast includes pastries, soup noodles, fried noodles, rice (nasi lemak), porridge, hash browns, pancakes, waffles sausages, ham, salads, fruits and beverages. Egg station comes with 6 types of eggs - scrambled eggs, fried eggs, soft boiled eggs, hard boiled eggs, poached eggs & omelette. My all time favourite egg is the fried eggs with baked beans. When the chef served me the fried eggs, he actually took a piece of tissue to wipe the plate before serving the fried eggs even though the plate is clean! I was like... wow... Overall the food was so-so. The restaurant is clean, well organized and the staff are friendly and helpful. However, don't leave your food unattend...

We were torn between Redang Island and Penang Island getaway... If we were to go for Redang Island getaway, we need to take a cab to the airport, fly to Kuala Terengganu, take a cab from the airport to the ferry terminal and travel by ferry to Redang Island. If we were to go for Penang Island getaway, it will be a road trip and on the way to Penang we can stop by for some yummy food. :) We finally decided to go Penang Island! On the way to Penang, we had our favourite Ipoh chicken rice and tau fu fa. You can read about my previous Ipoh food hunting trip here . We wanted a relaxing seaside getaway and we decided to go for a 4 days 3 night stay, do nothing but laze around all day long at Hard Rock Hotel, Penang. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by the hotel staff and treated to a welcome drink. The drink tasted fantastic on a hot day! Best part was the staff upgraded our room from a hill view deluxe room to a sea view deluxe room! The room comes with a king size bed, 4...
