Chu Char at De Lai Sang Ding Seafood Restaurant (Greenlane)

It never fails to amaze me that Penang seems to be overrun with places to eat. The food and dining landscape in Penang changes so often that it's hard to keep track of what's new. For instance, we recently discovered a seafood restaurant hidden amidst the residential area in Batu Lanchang. To be more precise, it's located behind the Convent Greenland School at Taman Hijau Tiga. To get there, you can drive to along Leburaya Batu Lanchang and then as you approach the traffic lights, take the left turning to Jalan Sri Ibrahim. Look for Jalan Hijau Tiga on the left and turn inside. Proceed straight on till you see the turning on your right with a sign board stating Taman Hijau 3. Take that turning and look for De Lai San Ding seafood restaurant.



As the name of the restaurant suggests, it's primarily a seafood cum chu char restaurant. We decided to order a couple of dishes minus the seafood. First to arrive was the egg and prawns in sizzling hot plate and followed by the rest of them as shown below:



Slice lotus and kachang botol fried with chilly paste.



Stir fry vegetables in garlic.



Deep fried pork belly in Thai sauce.



Crispy lemon chicken.



Fried bean curd in clay pot.



Desserts - this one is on the house.



Truthfully, the food here is really quite average. None of the dishes are outstanding and deserves further mentioning. Nonetheless, it's still a popular restaurant and would be a viable option if you run out of places to eat.

If you didn't mention, I will not know there is a restaurant hiding there.

Like what you said, the dishes look normal, not really that special. :)

Normal but we can't expect much either, right?:D

And it's always fun to explore new places....it can get so boring to go to the same place all the time:p
