Set in a fishing village, overlooking the iconic Penang bridge and the glittering sea, is Lang Sae Lee Thai Food restaurant.
I don't know if 'restaurant' is the right word to use to describe this home-cum-restaurant place, with no more than 10 tables.
This authentic Thai food house nestles at Tan Jetty, Weld Quay.
This is not a fancy restaurant with air-cond and everything nice. This restaurant only has a stand fan to cool you down on a hot day.
But, this is a place where you can indulge home-cooked Thai food in a cosy house compound area, which happens to be above the sea too.
There's no TV to watch, but a panaromic seaview that will certainly be a delight to your eyes.
The path to the restaurant is made of sturdy wooden planks
Allow me to introduce:
Laksa
I believe this is called Laksa. I don't remember the exact name of this aromatic soury and spicy noodle soup.
Don't be deceived by the colour of the curry or soup. It may not look spicy at all, but it's actually very spicy.
The bowl is filled with really smooth rice noodles, cubed cucumbers, sliced pineapples, chillies, chopped onions and shredded fish.
I started off with this bowl of noodles which was full of flavours!
Fried Rice
This plate of fried rice is, unfortunately, just so-so and quite dry.
It has very mild taste, but the ingredients are very fresh.
Not recommended.
Thai Fish Cakes
Thai fish cakes are absolutely yummy!
They're best eaten fresh right out of the wok.
These fish cakes are crunchy and succulent and usually accompanied with sweet chilli sauce and chopped cucumber.
You can taste the difference between the fish cakes served here and at other places - the amount of fish used and the aroma.
Sotong Kerabu
Personally, I prefer chicken skin kerabu (salad) over sotong kerabu because of its crunchiness.
However, this sotong kerabu is almost as good. This dish is really appetising and pungent!
There are more dishes on the menu and I'm trying its Tomyum soup on my next visit! Yum-yum!
The prices are fairly reasonable.
