Pulau Aman ~~ Penang

Date: 13 May 2014 
Time : Noon 
Venue : Pulau Aman, Penang 
Coordinates: 5.2667° N, 100.4000° E

Decide to pass our holiday to eat nice and good foods. We have been talking about this for so long the end we manage to make a trip to Pulau Aman. Its a fishing village and they earn money from fishing. According to the boatman, this island located around 200 peoples.  We reach there for a lunch break. Btw, try to go early to get a table at the restaurant. Mostly people will advise us to go early for nicer seafood, but from my own experience the boat come in after 10 mins one with their fish.. So there is no worry of lack of seafood to choose, the only you have to worry is lack of table to seat down and enjoy your meal. 

Car park : RM 2 
Ferry : RM 6 per person go and back from the island. 

This is the jetty. You have to board the ferry from here to Pulau Aman. 
Its only took around 2-3 mins speed boat ride. 

Can you see it?? 
Its our second Penang bridge that just done build and it also means that we have to bridge to cross over to Penang Island. I never been there before because for me its too far. 

Wait let me zoom it.. 
Here.. you can see clearly the Second Penang Bridge. 


Ok... not waste any of our time, 
Pls enjoy your ride. haha..!! 
Btw all this people are bring all their fishing equipment to Pulau Aman. 

Yes this is the speed boat that fetch us over the island. 


Ok.. reached the island and all you can see is boat.. haha..!! 
The boat is everywhere parking. 
Told you what, its a fish village.. haha..!!



Pulau Aman road map.. never scare you can'f the place..

** REMINDER: take umbrella with you just in case for sun or rain. If there is no rain, then the sun gonna damn bright and hot.. Its very hard to find shadow.. ** 

Welcome = Selamat Datang

Right after you come down from the jetty you will saw this board. Just in front of you.. 
So no worries you will get lost here. So my main point going there is to eat the fresh mantis shrimp and just followed the sign Restoran Terapung ( Floating Rstaurant).



!00m, you will saw the restaurant on your left, so just go in and choose your mantis shrimp. Rmbr to ask the price first before you said ok. Different sizes of the mantis shrimp different price. 
Btw, I know you all will curious why only i keep mention mantis shrimp because its famous there.. haha.. nice answer right?? 
You can choose fish, prawn or crab. They will help you too cook. 
NO worries and no need bring all you kitchen utensils.
