Oriental Seafood @ Gurney Drive roundabout

This post is dedicated to the kiam sap (miser) customer who complained and managed to get this place raided by the council over a RM$1 koon chooi.(hot water drink)
I have a feeling the customer must be struggling to maintain his Infinity home therefore every penny counts.
You see there are pockets of sneaky diners here in Penang the type that gets around not ordering mineral water so that they can save their money for their next millions of  ringgit speculative property.They will loudly INSIST with no shame at all that the restaurant serve them HOT water with the reasoning that hot water need not come from mineral water just to save a measly $1.50 each.On the same breath they will walk into Pizza Hut and pile on the RM$5 salad plus 2 kids meal to be pathetically shared amongst a family of 12.They have no qualms whatsoever about taking all the utensils and plates etc from all the tables next to them so that they can enjoy this meal.

TO THAT CUSTOMER and many other kiam sap penangites
(the type that walk with their nose in the air into a place like Chilli's,Chicago Ribs or Nando's and order koon chooi plus TWO main courses shared by a family of six)
Don't eat here cos the rice set lunch is soooo ridiculous.Using heong mai,give soup,big portion,until you cannot finish but charge from $4.50 only.Very pai ser cos its too cheap for you.Other hawker overcharge you,give you tiny portion fit for a mouse and make you wait long long is better cos that's the treatment you deserve.Misery makes you feel good about yourself


NOTE: to non Penangite visitors(mainly from KL,Melaka and Singapore)
You will find the food served here something like what you would eat back home except that the seaside view adds to the ambience of a holiday place. and they have live seafood.Please remember though that it is most affordable during lunch,dinner would be higher.Most Penangites will despise this place because the food is too salty for them.They prefer food with a ton of sugar.
