Teluk Tempoyak Ikan Bakar & Nasi Lemak

Coming up next is the Famous Adnan Bin Hassan Ikan Bakar at Kampung Telok Tempoyak near Batu Maung. There are 2 ikan bakar stall at Kampung Telok Tempoyak, the original one is found at the housing area of Telok Tempoyak. It is near to the extension bridge at sea. This Adnan Bin Hassan ikan bakar and nasi lemak famous for a few decade since I'm small. 


During those day, there is no easy road access to Batu Maung but people from town also travel to Batu Maung for this Ikan Bakar at Kampong Telok Tempoyak. Kampung Telok Tempoyak is a fisherman village, so you can have the fresh and best seafood here.

Ikan Bawal Talang at RM25. The spicy sour sauce is amazing, it go well with the Ikan Bakar although ikan bakar already bakar with it own gravy. Besides the fresh ikan bakar at Kampong Teluk Tempoyak. You must eat the Nasi Lemak

The Nasi lemak is sooooo good. No joke, the smell is sooo nice. I can eat it plain with sambal ikan bilis. Basically, you can't find any good nasi lemak even in the Malaysian invented Nasi Lemak. The Nasi Lemak cost RM1.50 with the Sambal Ikan Bilis. RM1.00 for the plain nasi lemak only.

Order also the big mug drink at this warung because the Ikan Bakar's sauce can be very spicy. This big mug Laici cost RM6.00. Small cup at RM2.00 and Jug at RM7.00. Actually, this place good for gathering, got nice view, sea breeze, cheap drink but no wifi access lah.




Type of fishes available for bakar: Siakap Putih, Jenahak, Kerapu, Merah, Bawal Talang, Udang and Ketam Nipah

Price List:
Siakap Putik (1KG) - RM35
Jenahak (1KG) - RM35

It is expensive? I not sure but better than some seafood stall put up as market price. This is very tricky as we have no idea what is market price. They can 'slaughter' you with any price they want to sell you. I would prefer the price put up in the signboard even it is expensive.


Come early to explore Kampung Telok Tempoyak fisherman village. It is a good place for photography on the extension bridge.

Or even catch your own fish for Ikan Bakar later

Sungai NYior Lie's Nasi Tomato (Tomato Rice)

I love Nasi Tomato as soon as I stop drinking milk. OK, I exaggerated. I do like Nasi Tomato since young age. When I small, there is a Malay stall in my kampung selling good curry fish head with tomato rice. It will be like festival when somebody kena 4D (strike lottery) and belanja (treat) us eat.


Since then, Nasi tomato become one of my favorited food. I can't find so good Nasi Tomato until Kee Kee recommend one near Butterworth. I found young time memory by eating Nasi Tomato at this Malay food stall. 

The Nasi tomato is so original. You can find the spices that suppose to cook Nasi tomato in there. It smell so good with just the plain Nasi tomato. The Nasi tomato at Butterworth is perfect. It can be find in front of Sunrise Megacity Sdn Bhd or opposite 100plus factory at Seberang Perai. (previously known as Coca-Cola factory) It is found somewhere here

The business is so good. They only open on weekday during lunch time. For people who work in Penang Island, it is not easy to try the Nasi Tomato because it not open on weekend. It is worth to apply half day leave to dine in here when you crave for Nasi Tomato. :-)

Malaysian Invented Food - Nasi Lemak

The only food invented by Malaysian that you can have it as Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Teatime, Dinner and Supper. Any time you can eat Nasi lemak and won't feel weird.  Not like other food that meant to eat on certain time only. Example, you won't take steak as breakfast, eat steamboat as lunch or take bread with butter and jam as dinner. The only Malaysian food that suitable to eat any time - Nasi Lemak

 Nasi Lemak Udang (Prawn Nasi Lemak)

Nasi Lemak Ikan (Fish Nasi Lemak)

Nasi Lemak Ikan Bilis (Anchovies Nasi Lemak)


Nasi Lemak normally pack in banana leave and newspaper. Some also pack in paper and plastic bag. It is available in many places like Mamak Stall, Kopitiam and Warung. Don't miss it when you travel to Malaysia.

Juru Goreng Ikan Bawal at Warung Kelapa Sawit

Warung Kelapa Sawit (Oil Palm Shop) is a Malay food shop found at Jalan Tok Kangar, Juru. Why it name as oil palm shop while not selling oil palm? This is because the shop is in Oil Palm farm. So, they name it that way! What famous food this shop selling is the Goreng Ikan Bawal, Fried pomfret fish. 

The promfet fish will fried till so crispy. It is so crunchy to chew on the fish bone. You can almost finish the fish as a whole. To make the fish even good to chew, they provided their homemade spicy sauce in black color. Yep, spicy sauce not necessary in red-hot color.

If you are person who sweat like hell after eating spicy food, this place will help you to burn more calories especially in the afternoon. There is no air-conditional room here. You'll sit under the oil palm tree shade in the open ground. If you are lucky, there will be breeze wind, else do remember to bring towel.

Besides the goreng ikan bawal, I also ordered some others dishes like ayam goreng kicap, eggplant, vegetables, egg pancake and salted duck egg. It look like nasi kandar but it prepared by Malay, We'll called it Malay Food. The Nasi kandar normally prepared by Mamak (Tamil Muslims). We just eat no matter who prepare it.

Above foods cost me RM19. It is so expensive! Let me list the food I ordered. 1 and half bowl of rice, 1 quarter fried chicken, a slide of pancake egg, eggplant cut into half, half salted duck egg, 100 gram vegetables and 2 pomfret fish. Bloody expensive for a lunch.


Later, I learned that this Warung Kelapa Sawit also bloody racist. One Malay friend said, it is cheaper for them to dine at Warung Kelapa Sawit. That mean, they charge higher if you are not malay. Don't believe me? Next time you go with Malay friend and check it out.
