Things to do in Butterworth
10. Selera Sri Tambang Mee Udang
Reviewed By FplusV
This is a no frills restaurant that is famous for very fresh prawns that is served with noodles. It is located beside a river in Sungai Dua, Butterworth. After the bridge you need to make a sharp u-turn left to come here. You select the amount of prawns that you want which is weighed in front of you. Then you select how you would like it cooked with noodles. Best choices are mee rebus and mee goreng.There are a variety of drinks available and we opted for whole coconut juice which was refreshing. Have the mee rebus first as this is slightly bland but delicious. The mee goreng is very flavourful and will overpower the mee rebus if you have it first.Can be a tad pricey if you select too many prawns....the noodles can be ordered plain too.All in all have been there on many occasions and have not been disappointed with the food....sometimes service a little slow.

It's good but the food quality and taste lacks in consistency, sometimes it's too thin, sometimes too sweet.many condiments you can choose from varieties of fish balls, deep fried fish nuggets, pork, innards, eggs, vegetables, etc. You can also choose to have meehoon, maggi noodles, or porrige to go with either normal clear, chicken/pork soup and Tom Yum soup.Waiting time is tolerable, ranging from 15mins up to 45mins, depends on the volume of crowds. The place is rather dirty and noisy from the typical young crowds. It normally starts operating from 6/7pm-midnight.Price is quite expensive as compared to other local food. with 4 condiments, it could cost you around RM6-8. (I noticed the price would be always more expensive when you take deep fried fish nuggets...)

Fresh local seafood. Got our rice and seafood craving fixed. Reasonable prices. Ask about portion size and price before ordering, to manage expectations. E.g. We wanted ocean crabs but they were tiny (no supply of decent sized ones at the moment, same as other restaurants) - more like snack sized, just for the taste! Best part is being by the shore with the sea breeze, sights and sounds of a relaxing vacation.

When here for lunch in a large group, was very eager to try their fish head curry. I was not disappointed, the curry was superb & the fish head was fresh! 2 thumb up!However, other dishes was average and overpriced, mango salad, fried chicken, stir fry vege was overpriced and did not meet the standards. Don't waste your money on other dishes, but Fish head curry is a must try and the price for this one dish is reasonable.
5. Pentagon 5 Studio

My friend highly recommended this place for their meals recently. And knowing i am always on the look out for a nice spaghetti meal, I visited this restaurant. It was situated in the vicinity of multiple restaurants and cafes and such, hence making it quite a happening place to be. When I reach, this place was packed on the inside (I guess you need to make a booking earlier to get a nice table). If you prefer sitting outside (smoking area) then it shouldn't be an issue. I only managed to get a high sitting table with high stool which is a little bit uncomfortable for having a proper meal (to my liking). I ordered my aglio olio (tried to get them to prepare the seafood style = add some prawns) but unfortunately they said the kitchen did not prepared enough for this special request. I had the usual one and to my surprise, the spaghetti turned out to be quite nice and tasty. It's not too spicy (some aglio olio is really spicy) and the texture is just nice in the mouth. I was expecting less because of the 'rejected request' thinking the kitchen is very rigid to prepare for me. I had the day and night coffee special and it was also quite nice and the aroma is good. The cashier staff is really polite and bowing a few times to me when I paid my bill. Maybe they are thinking I am reviewing their restaurant which is yea. haha...overall, I could have given them top marks if the reception is better (there is no one greeting you or care for you when you enter, maybe because u just have to get your own seat and press the call button located on each table = ok fine, no issue then), and the kitchen not being rigid and catered to my sudden demand to get seafood aglio olio. Still quite a good place considering I have also managed to get some readings on my book during my visit (though the seating is too high for comfort). I will visit again if I come by this area ~

The restaurant offers nice and tasty seafood with vermicelli noodle. Few of seafood that they offer are steam fish head, squid and clam. Besides the seafood, the restaurant is famous of the barbecue little chicken which are very tasteful and crispy. The last and not the least, you can have all them for less than US$30! Usually, the restaurant serve worker for lunch hour, so their service is very fast with serving food in 5 minutes after ordering.

Usually I have steamboat with my mother uncle and wife. We like to the fish meat, fish ball and etc. the place is spacious and cool. Good steamboat with traditional coal
2. Chilli Mee
Reviewed By Bart E
Just one slurp and my wife and I were hooked. I think the main attraction is the texture of their noodles. It is non-greasy and has just the right amount of firmness that made me consider a second helping. Not that the helping is small but it's just that it is truly that delicious.The anchovies are another great choice to add-on. It is super crunchy and pairs very well with the dish. It would be really nice though, if Chilli Pan Mee provides online delivery service. I am sure many people would greatly appreciate the convenience of their tasty pan mee delivered right to their doorstep.This place gets our vote if ever there's an award for the best chilli pan mee in Butterworth.

The restaurant was close to our hotel and was recommended by a few people. However passing by it we weren't sure as it was hot and humid and the restaurant was open seating with fans on top. Any case decided to give it a try. Found a table and got seated but was hard to get anyone to attend to us as it was packed and all the servers were quite busy. Finally got some service and order a few items off the menu recommended by the server according to our taste. tried the biryani rice, nasi goreng, migoreng noodles, paratha. Everything can quickly and was piping hot and tasted excellent. Prices were very affordable and we all enjoyed our dinner. Definitely a recommendation while in the area and looking for a quick hot bite.
