If you’re a food enthusiast searching for a delectable weekend treat, the new Ombak Star Menu at Mercure Penang Beach looks just right!
Ombak Star Menu
The much-loved Ombak Star Menu is back, featuring the tantalizing Salmon Assam Laksa and Salmon Curry Mee, accompanied by refreshing Sirap Limau, all at an affordable price of just RM29 nett per bowl.
This delectable treat is only available on Saturdays and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., so plan your culinary adventure accordingly.
Salmon Assam Laksa
Salmon Assam Laksa
First up on the tasting journey is the Salmon Assam Laksa.
As a twist on the classic Penang laksa, this dish takes seafood indulgence to new heights.
The steaming bowl arrives with the distinct aroma of rich fish broth infused with tangy tamarind, lemongrass, and aromatic spices.
The broth’s spicy-sour profile is perfectly balanced and complements the succulent salmon slices swimming within.
Each bite is a delightful interplay of flavors, with the fish providing a unique, buttery essence that melts flawlessly with the traditional laksa ingredients.
The silky smooth rice noodles add the perfect texture to this mouthwatering creation, making it an absolute delight to savor.
The only condiment I look for is my usual garnish of pineapple, mint leaves, and lots of ‘Heko.’
‘Heko’ or prawn paste is an exotic paste derived from selected shrimps. Penangites love their ‘Heko’ paste, adding a flavorful unami dimension and taste to local hawker dishes like ‘Penang Assam Laksa,’ ‘Chee Cheong Fun,’ and ‘Rojak.’
Salmon Curry Mee
The Salmon Curry Mee is a must-try for a richer tasting, creamier option.
A comforting bowl of goodness boasts a luscious coconut milk-based curry broth generously laden with tender salmon pieces.
The indulgent broth is laden with the essence of various spices, creating a harmonious medley of flavors that will leave your taste buds joyful.
Each spoonful offers a perfect blend of creaminess and spiciness, elevating the dish to pure bliss.
The combination of fresh salmon and the aromatic curry is a marriage made in culinary heaven, and it’s no surprise that this dish has quickly become a crowd favorite.
I was in love with the taste of the Curry Mee as I loved the santan rich soup and the taste of Salmon.
While some may find it an unusual combination, the taste is special to me.

Complementary Drink
To complement the delightful flavors of both dishes, the Ombak Restaurant provides a refreshing Sirap Limau as a perfect accompaniment.
The zesty lime and sweet rose syrup create a delightful harmony, making it a rejuvenating choice to sip alongside the flavorful Salmon Assam Laksa or Salmon Curry Mee.
The ambiance of Ombak Restaurant at Mercure Penang Beach is charming and inviting, offering a wonderful setting for indulging in these delightful dishes.
The attentive and friendly staff enhances the dining experience, ensuring you leave with a smile and a satisfied appetite.
Finally, if you’re in Penang over the weekend and want to avoid the hot and humid food courts, you can stop by The Ombak Restaurant for some high tea.
So, gather your friends, family, or significant other and treat yourselves to a weekend afternoon lunch with unforgettable moments at the seafront patio.
