And of course, one needs to try Tom Yam at a Thai Food place. We chose the clear seafood tom yam which had just the right amount of sourness and had a sweet seafood taste. Another must try!
Finally we tried Lang Sae Lee’s stuffed chicken wings. Not sure how Mdm Lee does it but she’s de-boned the chicken wings and manages to stuff them and still maintain the shape of the wing!
I don’t remember the exact price for each item (Mdm Lee doesn’t issue a receipt) but all this plus 5 roselle flower drinks and a can of 100plus came up to RM60.90 for the four of us. Definitely a steal!

Lang Sae Lee Thai Food is not to be confused with this other famous jetty thai food place.
To get to Lang Sae Lee, go on Weld Quay/Pengkalan Weld road until you see a bird shop (Tan Bee Eng Bird Shop) and walk straight along the small road next to the bird shop, all the way until the end to reach Lang Sae Lee. On the opposite side of the road of Tan Bee Eng bird shop is the famous Tua Pui Curry Mee.

hi!
I went past the entrance to Tan Jetty today. I was wondering where you parked your car.
oh i got lucky and managed to park right in front of the bird shop (it wasn’t open for business). another time i parked opposite the road.
but you can also park after the bird shop, there is a small lane where the famous Tan Jetty prawn fritters stall is. Drive in and go all the way to the end. Walk towards your left (if you are facing the sea) and you will come to Lang Sae Lee. i hope this isn’t confusing! for more maps, please refer to:

i think this blog is quite good and give all information about this awosome place . this place is famous for their thai food and i think i should go this place .you can add restaurant ..thanks……………
I just tried it on 20 Nov 2010 after check it out from the blogs, the taste is just so so, ok only and extremely not worth to try coz it is expensive, 3 of us go, 1 ordered sambal fried rice, another order laksa, and i ordered pineapple fried rice, then we ordered 3 chicken wings, 5 small pieces of fish cake(bite size), seaweed soup, taufu, 3 ribena drinks, the bills came up to RM67……………we got a shock seeing the bill.
