Thong Ne Thae Restaurant @ Batu Kawan, Penang.

Strategically located right next to the Pulau Aman Jetty, Thong Ne Thae Restauran is a Halal Thai restaurant that has been trending on social media platforms. The place is known for its breath-taking sea view, particularly in the evening for the sunset view. The restaurant has plenty of tables and able to accommodate large groups... making it ideal for company eat-outs or casual family dining. The menu is somewhat limited though- with a few Thai-style signature dishes. It has a self-service system where diners will need to order through the order-counter and self-collect the orders from the pick up counter. It is crucial to understand Malay language as they will call the name and inform in Malay language (not so friendly to foreigners). The place is not air-conditioned and can be quite warm during late afternoons. On top of the restaurant menu, there is also a corner dedicated to Thai-imported snacks where you can find chilled Thai products (like CP Burgers) or snacks. To reach this place, follow the same path as how you would travel to the Pulau Aman Jetty, you will need to pay RM5 for the parking fee (and it does not warrant you a place to park).


Tom Yam Bangkok (Rm 20)


Ikan Dua Negara (Rm 47)


Sotong Pad Kra Pao (Rm 20)


Daging Bakar Thai (Rm 10)

We particularly enjoyed the Tom Yam Bangkok. A contrary to the name of the dish, we thought it was pretty much Southern Thai Tom Yam, not so much on Northern Thai. It had all the boxes ticked with 6 medium-sized Prawns. The Ikan Dua Negara was basically deep fried Siakap served in Thai-inspired Chili sauce and the other half topped with Thai Mango Kerabu. The fish was huge and can easily fit for 3-4 diners. The Grilled Beef was alright- the meat was nicely marinated; some were tender but some were not. The Sotong was okay to go with Rice but a tad salty on its own.
