Menu Must-Try – What to Eat at Ombak Pantai Restaurant

A Culinary Celebration by the Sea

At Ombak Pantai, the menu is a love letter to Terengganu’s culinary heritage. It’s more than just a selection of dishes—it’s a curated expression of beachside comfort, kampung-style hospitality, and local flavors that make you feel right at home.

Most first-timers come for one thing: the iconic celup tepung. Whether it’s squid, prawns, fish, or even crab, each seafood is dipped into a light batter and fried until golden brown. The texture is everything you could hope for—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. And it’s not just about the crispiness. The seasoning in the batter, the house-made sambal, and the immediate freshness make this dish a league above the rest.

But there’s more to discover. Their Maggi Udang is surprisingly indulgent—a bowl of spicy noodles served with large prawns in a rich, flavorful broth. A rare find for a celup tepung stall, yet one of their hidden gems. Then there’s the Nasi Ayam Berempah Padu, featuring deeply marinated fried chicken paired with fragrant rice, or the Nasi Raja Ikan Bawal, complete with fried pomfret and a variety of local condiments.

You’ll also find snacks like keropok lekor, cekodok pisang, and simple soups such as Sup Mee or Sup Bihun, each made fresh, no shortcuts.

The price? Reasonable. With dishes starting from RM3 for sides to RM35 for premium grilled lamb sets, you can feast generously without breaking your wallet.
