Hi all, good evening.

I want to ask whether in Sungai Petani have nice place to eat cuisine such as steamboat, or seafood cooking?

Sp is not really famous for seafood & I hardly see any steamboat restaurants there...Hawker ctr sure a lot esp closer to the toll Plaza SP South. & locals will recommned you old town Jam Besar..lotsa nice hawker food there..]

Otherwise..Nasi Kandar Pelita is my regular stop & makan place there..just not far from the SP South toll Plaza. Well Nasi kandar & Thai food is very popular in SP...Any nasi Kandar restaurant for sure tatsed good in the North..haha..+ the Thai food...mostly by local Thais...so must be good too although I tatsted once many years ago..dunno where dy..

Due to the proximity to Penang, SP sooner or currently already part of Greater penang which covering Penang, Prai, Butterworth Bkt Mertajam & to a lesser extand ..Sg Petani..really abooming town..probably overtaking Alor Setar as the largest ton in Kedah not far now..

Hi ya, where is that Sg Petani guy that has a blog on food also. There are few good hawker food in Sg Petani.

But TS..is asking for Seafood & steamboat wor..

Seafood got la, I remember that samlee860407 blog got say something about Thai seafood in Sg Petani but dunno halal or not.

I been there last week, a new restaurant called "Zhong Ma Shi Seafood Reastaurant", seafood restaurant. Locate at Jalan Legenda 6, Legenda Height(Nearby old Tesco). Price cheap and their seafood is as nice as K.L.

Must try their deep fried sotong, sweet & sour crab, Steam River Fish & Butter Mantis Prawn.

SP not the place for steamboot n seafood.. always goes to either tanjung dawai or penang..btw, i prefer tanjung dawai where the atmosphere there much cooler than in penang and it much cheaper..

Tanjung dawai still have local fisherman? Very long time since been there, like a few decades. Any SPECIFIC good restaurant or warong to recommend?

don really know the name of that restaurant but it in front of a bus stop..i do think it the first restaurant that come to ur eyes if u coming from merbok..

Err...you from Tanjung Dawai ah? Many development there?

From my gps maps, The Tg Dawai Seafood complex located here:
N5 41.109 E100 21.603

Pretty far North west of Sg Petani (~30km). Well never been there..probably can try during my nxt working visist..haha - Hope is halal..can go together wth my collegaue..

nope..im from SP lor..but if seafood matter always go to tanjung dawai..can also buy 'ikan kering'..hehe..it halal meh..don really know about the development cuz only go at nite..nothing to see actually if u go there at night time only can fell the breeze..it really syiok..

Ya ya last time I go there buy 'ikan kering' dan udang kering but the belacan not as good as Balik Pulau.
Err...go at night, eat and then do what?

and...and....and..go home lah..sleep..nothing much to do la there..with the full stomach, watching sea is like nak muntah meh..lol!

wow so many reply. thanks ya

I left sp for almost 3 years...not sure if everything is still the same.i was studying in SP for 3.5 years...
our favourite will be

Mee Alauddin - Taman Ria (selling outside a corner unit old coffee shop)
Banana leaves rice - Near Hotel Seri Malaysia ( opposite a nursery at a steep turning)
Beef kuey teow - in the old taxi and bus station.
Motomiya (japanese food) - at Lagenda Heights
Le Boss - Lagenda Heights
50 cents Nasi Lemak- Outside the taxi station. Small stalls.open only at night
"wak sek kai" - lotsa hawker stalls
nasi lemak - nasi kandar Makbul (start serving at 4.30am)
At Makbul...they also have something called "kottu pratta" something like roti canai all torn and mixed and fried with eggs. NICE

Taman Ria Foodcourt has got very cheap western food. But dun expect 5 star rating . acceptable quality at very cheap price. The "chu chao" that opens at night taste good.

There is this ikan bakar restaurant by the monsoon drain. Halal. (Operate by Malays). Taste quite good, but a little pricey. This will be somewhere near the south SP

The price of food in north SP is cheaper than South SP. Maybe the South is more happening.

Awww... I miss those days...
