Pulau Aman, PULAU PINANG‏

This is the boat we took to go to Pulau Aman
The boat ride costs us RM6 per person. It is only a 15 minutes ride to Pulau Aman.

Here's a look at the Batu Kawan jetty from the boat as we head to Pulau Aman

First glimpse of Pulau Aman as the boat approaches the tiny island which is mainly a fishing village

This is the Pulau Aman floating restaurant with the super-delicious Mee Udang

Here's a closer look at the restaurant

They only have three types of dishes to order: Mee Udang, Mee Goreng and Nasi Goreng. (Shrimp Noodles, Fried Noodles and Fried Rice) Since it is operated by Muslims, it is a halal restaurant. The one common thing about its dishes is that all of it comes with large fresh prawns!Here's the two main chefs preparing the food in the open plan kitchen

The scenery in this sleepy little fishing village is so beautiful

Mee Udang

Just look at the size of the prawns and eating this with such beautiful scenery around us

Fried rice with prawns

Fried noodles (Mee Goreng) with prawns

Here's the fishermen coming in with the fresh catch of the day

Here's the small station handled by the fishermen where they also sell some of their fresh catch to people who passes by before they bring the catch to sell it off to the middleman.

Sea crabs and mantis prawns

This is the size of the mantis prawn

The restaurant even supplied with 'equipment' to deal with the shells

This place is a MUST TRY. The boat ride is worth it. The drive to the jetty is worth it. The half day trip there is worth it. Oh, by the way, each plate of noodles or rice comes with 5 large prawns!

Rating: 9/10

Price: $$ (RM5 per plate of noodles / fried rice)
