Ong Cheng Huat Seafood

Woke up early morning... (actually not early... it was already 10+am ;p) We went to Butterworth to find eat. I online checked what can do , what can see in Butterworth before the holiday comes. Well, no place is triggered my interest. Well, let find eat. I found that Ah Xian's show was showing some places are good to eat. Go to axian788.com.... I found it. He called it as 椰脚鸡仔（Spring Chicken below Coconut Tree) why he said so? There is story behind it. I'm not going to tell you here... pls go to his page :)

Well, we took the Ferry and found this place by GPS. Unbelievable... it located in a not obvious place.... went through small road with unorganized houses. If there has no sign board in the main road... I dare to say that you definitely can't find it.

Now we know that why Axian called it 'below coconut tree'


Just around 12 noon... there was full of people (business hour 11am-5pm)


A lot crews here...


Can see that what is that? Look 'geli' right? These are little chicks!


Their famous food- fried little chick.
"《香炸童子鸡》—用蚝油、薯粉、麻油、砂糖和盐腌制了一天一夜的童子鸡，下锅炸得酥脆熟透之后，皮脆肉鲜，甘香美味"
We ordered for 2 persons = 2 chicks... cut in 2 pieces each. RM10.
RATE: ***1/2


Fried Fresh Prawn Popiah - RM5
"《鲜虾薄饼》—下锅炸至金黄香脆之后，就可以斩件上桌的鲜虾薄饼... 直接用三面薄饼皮，裹住五香粉、蒜头、芹菜和鲜虾，然后就下锅炸"
I can't really tasted out its taste... just felt oily & crunchy. That's it.
RATE: **1/2


Teoh Chew Steamed Fish Head - RM22
"《潮州蒸鱼头》— 是清海老板的拿手好菜，独家秘方的咸梅酱是这道菜的灵魂"
Fresh... nothing else.
RATE: ***1/2


Lala - RM8
The sauce almost same as steamed fish head.
RATE: ***


Fried Mee Hoon - RM3
They do not serve rice... only fried mee hoon. Why?
"自从1993年创办的王清发海鲜当初只是一家售卖饮料的亚答屋，由于顾客前来光顾时都希望可以边喝边吃点小菜，于是热爱烹饪的王太太便灵机一动煮一些小菜来卖. “当时只卖炒啦啦、炒米粉几样菜而已。”"
RATE: **


These were what we ordered. They have few items that we not yet tasted: steamed octopus, kam heong mantis prawn, mango kerabu, curry crab etc.
We spent RM50.30 in our lunch.


Yummy? Ha... not really... but not bad la. Can have a try... just nothing special la... for me ;)


Since we already went to the mainland. So after eating... we searched for else where can go. GPS, GPS, GPS.... we found this... Air Puteh Waterfall. GPS shown it is 21km away from Carrefour Hybermarket in Prai... well, it was not only 21km actually.... is more more more than this!


Went through the palm oil, kampung... we arrived here... have to pay for entrance fee for RM2. Why?


Because this is managed by one company call Koperasi Air Terjun Bhd. 'Berhad'? Is that listed company? Was asking by Alfonso... we have no idea about this. Yeah... they did a lot recreation... Anyhow, I'm not really interested in this place. Water not clear at all & not well manage.


Went around and explore more about this place


Well, time was still early... we went to another place... call Mengkuang Dam in Bkt Mertajam.


Few friends talked about this place and said how good of this place. So we were here today.


Yes, nice scene. Good for jogging.

Thought to bring Alfonso's SLR Camera since we go for 'swim mountain play water' today. Anyhow, I did not. End up I took the above photos by his Nokia N95. It is a nice hand phone, has a good spec. But he always wanted to buy new HP with touch screen. I'm not encourage actually. Unless you are not tight to money now. Unfortunately, you NOT :)
