Halaächef

4.6(126 reviews)

About

Found on Penang, Halaächef sits at 72C-G-5, Jalan Batu Ferringhi in the 11100 Batu Ferringhi area of the island.

Batu Ferringhi is one of Penang's main beach resorts, so the venue is straightforward to reach from the hotels along that stretch, while George Town lies further along the same coastal road. The location places it on Penang's northern shore, with Tanjung Bungah and Teluk Bahang on either side. It is a restaurant, and its standing rests on a 4.6 out of 5 score drawn from 126 reviews. Diners know it for Malaysian cooking, where rice and noodles are staples flavoured with sambal, coconut milk and belacan shrimp paste.

Penang's population is largely Malay and Muslim, with large Chinese, Indian and indigenous Bornean communities, and that mix is reflected in what is cooked and sold across the island.

Malaysian waters hold dolphins, dugongs and sea turtles, and Borneo's coasts have proboscis monkeys. Malaysia was formed in 1963 from Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore, and Singapore left the federation in 1965.
