My friend and I decided to drop by the place after seeing the roof sign many times as we were using the Jelutong Expressway towards Penang Bridge. The restaurant is actually hidden behind some shoplots / flats within the Gat Macallum Street area. Although the restaurant specialized in seafood dishes, we only managed to order a few mixed dishes to be taken with rice. There were also many varieties of noodles served.
The first dish that came was the Thai Style Homemade Tofu (RM8). This is a must to try as the tofu was real smooth accompanied by lots of dried shrimps, cili padi, onions and mint leaves.
Just remember that the restaurant is behind some shoplots within the Macallum Street Flats area by following the map I have drawn out. Do enjoy your experiences there.

Hmm…I still remember NKOTB’s review on this seafood restaurant, but still haven’t find my way there. 🙁
eh, very cheap la, with prawns, squids and all. haven’t come across this back in my USM days. 🙁
Pg has so many gems, and everything’s so easy to locate, cz in an island. =) envy …
i love toufu and i bet that Thai Style Homemade Tofu is good…
but the fried squid looks thickly covered with flour….
Hey can’t help noticing that all the dishes were deep-fried. Nothing wrong with that. Grease is officially good.
🙂 I find that their seafood is kinda fresh. good place to go to.
