Tung Fong Seafood Restaurant @ Taipan, Inanam

When you're looking for a seafood restaurant that also specializes in serving generously-portioned fish/seafood noodle soup, look no further than Tung Fong Seafood Restaurant in the Taipan area of Inanam.

While Tung Fong isn't exactly easy to spot, you can always count on the Inanam Shell station as a reliable landmark. If you're coming from KK, make a U-turn around the roundabout and take the first junction on your left after the Shell station.

Tung Fong is surrounded by several auto shops/workshops, so when you spot a lot of car accessories shops as you turn in, rest assured you're in the right direction. From the junction, head straight and you'll see Tung Fong seafood restaurant located at a corner lot, right next to a home furnishing shop.

First look

The first thing we noticed about this seafood restaurant was its bustling lunch crowd and how good business was. We had decided to come over for late lunch (past 2pm) to beat the lunchtime traffic, and while we managed to dodge traffic on the road, the traffic at the restaurant was still pretty heavy.

Food & beverages

As the name would suggest, Tung Fong offers a variety of seafood dishes to be ordered a la carte or with rice/noodles. From what we've heard, some of their best offerings are the seafood kon lau mee (MYR7) and seafood noodle soup (MYR7).

If you'd like to have a bigger portion, opt for the 'ka liao' version which is almost 1/4-size bigger.

The next time we went to Tung Fong, we brought four friends with us so that we could order more a la cart dishes and sample them all together. Here are some of the signature a la cart dishes on the menu:

Egg tofu with minced meat and mushroom

Mixed vegetables with mushroom

Sabah veggie with eggs

Fish fillet in sweet sauce

Oyster omelette 

Crab cake wrapped in seaweed

Overall the pricing is pretty reasonable, we only paid MYR151 for 10 dishes plus drinks--averagely MYR25.17 per person for a decent seafood meal. 

Verdict

We give Tung Fong Seafood Restaurant two thumbs up for food quality, portion size and pricing. If it wasn't for the horrible traffic surrounding the Taipan area during lunch hour (it took us 45 minutes to reach the restaurant from Likas!), we would've come every day for the fish noodle soup! 

Also, we waited more than 30 minutes for our food to arrive. Probably not the place to have lunch at when you're moody and ravenous.
