Bali Hai Seafood Market

Penang is always associated with delicious food, you can find many delicacies there from all around the world.. i guess being a busy port in the past contributed to the different cultures and tastes of this wonderful island..

One of the many things Penang is famous for is its Seafood and you will find many restaurants here and most of them would be pretty decent, but here is one of my favourites. Bali Hai Seafood Market.. Many people see this place as a tourist haunt but the food here is very nice although you could find cheaper places around.

This is my second visit to this well known place and I have to admit i would come here everytime i come to Penang.. Well, on to the pictures..
