Dear foodies, check out these 8 Must-Try Food in Sungai Petani. You’ll love them all!
1. Lobster
Dig into a generous serving of creamy Lobster in Superior Broth at Jade Garden Seafood Restaurant. Lobster is their speciality here, and this dish comes with a golden recommendation! The broth in this dish is gelatinous and rich in flavour from the high-quality bird’s nest used.
Don’t miss out on another local favourite- The Marmite Lobster. The dish pairs the distinct bitter and tangy flavours from the marmite while preserving the natural fattiness from the lobster. You’ll love it!

We think they serve up some of the best Tom Yam here- it’s the perfect balance of acidity and spiciness.
