Basically, Fisherman's wharf is a large foodcourt by the sea offering almost countless number of different food options. The entire area sits on reclaimed land as part of Penang's expansion project many years ago, and now the area offers food, nightlife and other activity options for the area.
Get ready to have your senses explode when you enter this food court. It is a large area that has countless number of food stalls and a very large dining area as well. The way to go about things is to find a place to sit first, note the table number, and then go order your food. Without the table number, your food may never arrive.
There are also different sections of the food court that offer different things. For instance, there is an area specifically for the steamboat diners, there is a chu char area and also for street food, there is another area where you can find for bak, jiu hoo eng chye, satay etc.
The main dining area offers unparalleled views of the coastline, and is a treat if you visit in the early evening. Night time views are a little dim and doesn't offer much.
There is one thing about food courts and the food here - nothing really stands out as being very good as all the food is only passable. It is the convenience of having all these choices under one roof which makes it an attractive proposition.
All in all, it's a good place to visit to sample the different street foods. But bear in mind, it's just so-so and there are always better...
Read moreDinner time! Because living nearby at automall, this is the nearest food court. There's plenty of stall(around 40). Plenty of international dishes(Arab, Japanese, Korean, Germany, Thai and many others) and many others state Chinese dishes. We have order 5 dishes.
Siew Yuk: Its a Chinese fried pork with crispy skins and juicy meat and the taste is not too salty. Seriously it quite tasty.
Stir-fried Glutinous Rice & Tomyam Beehoon: This dishes I feel quite nice too. Sticky and delicious. Tomaym Beehoon is normal abit with plenty of basil on it.
Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken: Although it taste similar to many Nasi lemak, however its delicious.
Siew Long Pao: It's a shanghai traditional pao that steam with meat and soup inside the pao. We need to eat it with spoon and chopsticks. The flour skin is normal but the meat is quite tasty.
Arabian Pizza: Actually is quite nice but the flavor is not my taste.
Drinks is delicious too.
Having nice music with nice specs. Can sing karaoke here
Read moreTotal garbage quality of food. Total disaster and ill representation of Penang’s hawker stalls food. Ordered food from 5 different stalls and they were beyond bad. Flavors were tuned to foreign visitors taste, not a hint of the original stuffs. Sad!!! Stay away at all means unless you are drunk to the point of senseless and tasteless!!
Respond to Owners inquiry: 1.) the cendol was watered down and barely any ice, and no gula Melaka 2.) the stir fry eel as stated on the menu (and picture illustration) turned out to be braised eel. This was pre-braised and just scooped out of the pot, which was all watered down. I ordered stir fry as per menu!!! 3.) the fried frogs were battered…!!! This was like eating fish and chips batter, where the fried batter were flaking off the meat. Chinese fry frogs don’t batter, just lightly powered with corn starch!!! 4.) the roast pork “siew yok”…looks like it was chop with a bamboo stick than a cleaver knife. Meat was smashed to flakes leaving the crispy skin floating around!!! 5.) the Penang prawn mee was tasteless. No prawn taste and not spicy, very watered down dilute taste!!! I’ve had better food than this!!!! Need immediate attention. Nothing like the local hawker’s...
