Yu Xuan Kopitiam 渔轩海鲜煮炒 is a popular Chu Char restaurant at Kuala Sungai Pinang, Balik Pulau. The place is often full with regular patrons on weekends. The restaurant is air-conditioned and only accommodates 5 tables; it opens at 12:30 pm and tables are usually filled up by 12:45 pm. So if you are coming in a big group or a planned trip, it is best to call to reserve a table. They do not have any printed menu (or at least they did not show it to us), the server just recommends the signature dishes. Dishes are reasonably priced and the Seafood dishes are fresh; good option for family eat-out.
Curry Fish (Rm 69)
Kam Heong Sotong (Rm 27)
Belacan Fried Chicken (Rm 16)
Stir Fried Kangkung with Belacan (Rm 14)
Claypot Tofu (Rm 16)
The signature Curry Fish is a popular choice- almost served on every table. Diners have the option to choose between Fish Meat or Fish Head. We had the Fish Meat version and Grouper was used; meat was fresh and firm in texture. The Curry was thick with plenty of fresh herbs used. Tomatoes, Okra, Onions were some of the ingredients seen in the Curry, certainly went well with rice. We also enjoyed the Claypot Tofu and Stir Fried Kangkung with Belacan; the Belacan Fried Chicken was over seasoned though.
