Hock Lye Seafood Village, Jelutong Expressway

Delicious seafood restaurant food would normally packed with people during lunch or dinner. Getting away from packed houses, we asked ourselves, where else can we find a place without the hassle waiting and looking for parking as parking these days is also a problem for some places.

Well, finally we found a place situated in a big piece of land adjacent to the Jelutong Expressway at Bridge Street Foreshore, going downtown from bridge towards town. When approaching the first traffic light in front of the traffic light junction into Harbour Trade area and also the Kew Ong Yeah Temple (Nine Emperor God Temple), you will need to turn right. Immediately after right turned not far from traffic light, make another right turn into a lane and drive all the way to the end. You will notice a signboard of this Hock Lye Seafood Restaurant. Turn right and drive a short distance, you will see Hock Lye Aquarium and Hock Lye Seafood. You will find a big compound enough to cater for 50 to 60 parking lots.
It is an open restaurant with roof tiles sheltered. Cooling fans are installed all over the place but the place is cooling despite the afternoon hot sun out there. Once you are in there, the restaurant helpers or the Tau Keh Soh (boss’s wife) would bring you into the aquarium area to pick fresh seafood of your choice, there are fresh lobster, prawns, fish, clams, and so on.

We ordered 300 grams of prawns, a fish and vege since 2 of us are taking the lunch.

Not too long, there comes the hot wok food delivered to our table. The drunken prawns soup was mouth watering, a little of the wine added that makes it a perfect soup, the “Cheng Ching” in Cantonese or “Cheng Choi” in Hokkein steam fish was another dish perfectly steamed.

Here comes the bill for 3 dish, ie vege, drunken prawns soup and a steam fish all totaled RM65-30. Give it a try if you decided to get away from the hassle of packed houses and limited parking at other good food restaurant. You would love this place as many still not aware of this seafood restaurant existence.
