A Trip To Pulau Pangkor

During the last weekend of the Raya holidays, hubby was given a 2 nights 3 days free stay with meals provided at The Pangkor Island Beach Resort for 4 pax. The last time I was in Pangkor was about 18 years ago! I went with my family and we stayed in The Pangkor Laut Beach Resort.....i still remember it was very expensive and we were only staying at the hill resort.

We left about 8.30am in the morning and reached Bidor for breakfast. I decided to try out other Bidor foods rather than the usual Pun Chun. So we went to the back lane near the market place and we found this place.

Most of the stalls almost sold out their food.....maybe it was a holiday. My son tried this curry mee(RM2.90), quite ok for me becoz I don't really like too "lemak" kind of curry mee.

But this Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun(RM3.00) was very good. Four of us ordered 5 plates!

We reached Lumut about 12.15 pm, after check-in our luggages at the Pangkor Island Beach Resort office, we parked our car at the local town council multi level car park (RM10.00 per day). This picture was taken from the car park. This is the Water Front of Lumut.

As our ferry is scheduled at 1.45pm and we decided to go for tea at this place The Capri :

Hubby craved for beer and ice cream :

The boys go for Sandwiches....one tuna and one ham :

There are lots of cafes in Lumut besides the usual gerai makanan. There is KFC too!

And finally we reached the private jetty of the Pangkor Island Beach Resort after about 30minutes ride.

We were given 2 rooms with connecting door at the Ocean Wing.

From our balcony:

We decided to rest and relax at the Resort and enjoyed the resort facilities on the 1st day. Then the second day , we rented a car ( proton iswara @ RM120 per day...expensive bcoz its peak season, otherwise it should be about RM70) and explored the island.

First the Fu Lin Kong temple:

Then to Sg Pinang Kechil for lunch at this restaurant call Restoran Kah Lim:

Fried spinach, very yummy.

My sons' food fried calamari:
As the normal crab was sold out, we end up order this Fried soft shell crab.Curry fish, a northern type of curry on the sour side without coconut milk. I quite like it but not my hubby.

Then we went to this place selling dried salted fish and etc....:

At the back of the shop :

We bought a few things for family and friends. I dunno whether it is cheap or not but they are definite fresh.

The last stop, we went to the Dutch Fort.....biasa saja!
We spent the rest of the time relaxing at the resort with our children especially hubby who is always busy.
