Gertak Sanggul Tua Pek Kong Seafood 美湖大伯公海鲜 @ Gertak Sanggul, Penang.

Far end at Gertak Sanggul, the fishing village next to Teluk Kumbar has some hidden gems worth excavating, especially for seafood lovers. Opposite to Gertak Sanggul Seafood Fishing Stage is Gertak Sanggul Tua Pek Kong Seafood 美湖大伯公海鲜. The seafood restaurant is found right next to a Tua Pek Kong Temple, facing the beach/ sea. The setup is simple- with some basic tables and chairs on beach sand, there is no proper restaurant setting here and the tables are quite limited making it less-accommodating for big groups. The menu is fairly small- most of the offering would depend on the catch of the day.

Gertak Sanggul Seafood Fishing Stage (美湖海鲜钓鱼休闲中心) @ Teluk Kumbar, Penang.

At the far end of Teluk Kumbar is a quiet fishing village named Gertak Sanggul; unlike Batu Ferringhi, Gertak Sanggul is a non-touristy place with no hotels, only local fishermen and pristine white beach, making it one of the famous places to picnic for the locals. One notable place at Gertak Sanggul is the Seafood Fishing Stage well-concealed in some of the residences. It has a man-made pond that allows fishing enthusiasts to fish; in the evenings, it is transformed into a family restaurant that specializes in offering seafood (sourced from the local fishermen). It is a place most suitable for families that want to take their kids a step nearer to nature and to dine-in amidst the serene neighborhood. There's no standard menu and is subject to the daily supplies (sourced locally) but do check with them on the prices before you order (some can be very expensive). If you plan to visit this place, do be there early or expect to wait for at least an hour, the serving speed can be a little slow.
