4) Seafood at Permas Jaya / Senibong

For those who crave seafood cooked in Malay style, Senibong area may be an area you would want to try out. There are a few seafood stalls along the whole walk. Seafood is usually displayed by the side of the walkway and customers get to choose their own seafood for ala carte orders. However, be very mindful as prices can get very steep when you choose to order ala carte. It is advisable to go with the set menu offered by stalls as you will pay a fixed price for the type of set you select. There are various types of sets available for small and large groups of people. The larger the group, the more variety of dishes are offered for each set. The best thing about dining at Senibong area is the spectacular view of the sea that you get to enjoy while having your dinner! Among the highly recommended stalls are Selera Senibong Seafood, Anjung Senibong Seafood, and Permas Seafood Village
We recommend : ikan masak tiga rasa (three flavour fried fish), sotong gorent tepung (squid deep fried in flour).
Price range : $$ – $$$

5) Maya – Grab & Crab

Have you heard about eating on the table without plates and cutleries? This style of dining was a trend some time back and most places were there only for the season. We found a place serving really authentic and delicious seafood in such dining style. The portion here is much bigger than other places and there is nothing to complain about their style of cooking because almost every dish on their menu is mouth-watering!
We recommend : sambal prawns/squid, salted egg crab, sambal kangkung
Price range : $$ – $$$
