Pulau Aman Trip 3 - Joy and fun at Pulau Aman

After reach the Pulau, we start exploring the side with our eyes. Although this is not a modern stylish place but it definitely best place for relaxation. Away from dirty ashes, lousy air quality, noisy environment and busy road. FYI, here you can hardly see any car as it have no road for car :)
   
You can have a cycling in the Pulau if you want. Canoeing as well. Pricing is cheap compare to city :)

This is the map for the whole island. Although you see two island but they actually connected during low tie :) Wah as you can see there are 18 places to explore. 

1- I just love the unplanned building like this, in hectic city, Penang all we can see is those well planned building structure where here we feel more relax as thing is not we used to see. 2- Ever dream of your house above the sea? 3- This is the famous floating restaurant.  

Some shots on the Pulau Aman Floating restaurant (Restoran Terapung Pulau Aman). 

Now not yet food time be patient, we still have alot of shooting to do. So let me bring you around Pulau Aman before we talk about the mouth watering mee udang, ya :)

No far from the Pulau Aman Floating Restaurant, there is a building which i not sure what is it for but it definitely good for fishing. 


I think this always one of the best spot for wedding pic, don't you think so?

Small wave that make the shot a marvelous one :)

Free time activity by the villager.

1- Small stall beside the road, let see what they selling in the stall?  2- The menu they showing don't look like what should be selling on a stall like this, LOL. I though they sell nasi lemak or goreng pisang. 3- Very romantic look chalet by the sea, IS PINK!!! 

This is one of their a very unique fruit they have in the Pulau Aman. It is call Buah Sukun in malay or Breadfruit. By its name we know that the fruit sure taste like bread smell like bread. As a food hunter i should have tasted it but i was too tired during shooting and didn't thought of trying out new food. How fail i am as a foodtok founder... Anyway outlook look like cempedak and inside taste like bread and potato. For such error of not being taste this unique fruit to offer at Pulau Aman, i will definately pay them another visit to correct my false action. 

This is how they get a new Buah Sukun tree. 

Here is the new chalet by the sea. See how near the sea is to the chalet? It is located just at the swallow path to the other side of the Island. Yeah i agree the local have to learn how to clear up the rubbish. Anyway it is a good location to spend a night with you love one. 

Next stop we went to the Telaga Emas. It have road sign along the way and some chalet above the sea as well. Not much thing to see although it is just another history places at Pulau Aman. 

Here is the history of the Telaga Mas. Telaga Mas? not sure typo or what. 

Our happy host Stephy, showing her excitement during the shooting.

Finally makan time. This is the menu at the Pulau Aman floating restaurant. 

Yeah this is the famous Pulau Aman Mee Goreng Udang. It tasted like Mee goreng that we can have in island but some how taste milder. The more you eat the stronger the aromo of the fresh prawn give out. It taste better every month. 

Here you go the Pulau Aman Famous Mee Udanag. Again the taste is flat and boring during the first mouth, then the more i eat the better it gets. It taste like tasteless hokkien mee at the first bite, but it taste better and better. Not to forget the fresh big prawn they gave us. Yummy yummy. 

;
This is the Mantis prawn i shoot at Pulau Aman. This is another must try item at Pulau Aman. It miss out the chance of trying out this as well. This is because we though RM18/KG is expensive. WTH, how stupid i am, i knew that the price for medium size mantis prawn cost around RM20++ but i am so blur that time though it is extremely expensive because of this i will be back at Pulau Aman again. 

Beside beautiful environment, relaxing building, fresh air, wonderful sea view, delicious food. Pulau also have alot to offer such as beautiful wild flora. As picture shown, green berry (Young berry), red berry (ripe berry which ready to be eaten) and black berry (not sure can use as a herb or not :)) Anyway i look this shot cause showing 3 level of life cycle of the berry :)

you can also see how they children spend their free time at the sea. Without worry and fear enjoying what mother nature got to offer. I believe we can't have all this in the city. some time i wish to be one of them. 

Time to go back, it is late afternoon. All the fisherman boat is park beside the jetty. 

Before you leave don't forget to grab some suvinial for you love one. 3 pack RM10 and depend on which one you want, anyway it is local made product. I am sure it will be nicer, fresher and cheaper too.

Yeah we reach back Penang with happy and sad cross emotional. Don't forget with a nicely tanned skin.

Pulau Aman Trip 2 - Journey to Pulau Aman

19-Jun-2011, After breakfast, we went to the buy some medication for Stephy as she has problem with shaky boat. Because of the worry, she very blur and dum dum :) She asked whether to eat all 8 pallet of medication before go on boat? We're like, if you take all you might end up in an ambulance. 
Clockwise : 1- Podok you must not miss to go to Pulau Aman. If you don't see this, you better turn back :) 2- When you get there around 10.30AM, the parking almost full liau lo. 3- Kompleks Jayi Batu Musang, yet to open.


When i was told to go meet up at Pulau Aman Jetty, i thought it is in Penang Island. Pai seh har cause in Google map  show that Pulau Aman is reachable from Penang Island but didn't know that the new jetty to Pulau Aman is at Bukit Tambun. See how nice the place is? I though such a ulu isolated island will not have visitors. When we were there, surprisingly alot visitors waiting to pay Pulau Aman a visit. 

This is another confirmation before you reach the pondok that you are in the correct Jetty :)

From the parking lot, you already can see the wonderful and marvelous view of Pulau Aman.  Are you ready for this wonderful trip?

This is one of the scenes taken by the video crew. 

Clockwise : 1- View from the bridge toward Penang mainland. 2- Jetty view toward boat area. 3- Per pax is RM6, through and fro. 3- Overall view of the bridge. 

Stephy is taking this shot for us and we are saying bye bye to her :)

Boatman gave us a thumb up when we ask him to take a shot :)

Very obscene rite? Open for business :)
Learn from expert how to ride a boat with your heavy gear. Hands up! 

Beautiful view along the way, PULAU AMAN here we come!!!

Our poor female host really having difficulty on a shaky boat even after 1 pill? think so cause we never call for ambulance for help. 

Been to this beautiful island yet?

Plan a trip to go there ya :)
The whole journey took us about 15 minutes. It is a short journey, so plan a trip to there during a weekend and enjoy the relaxing, peaceful and fresh air.

Pulau Aman Trip 1 - Breakfast at Sentosa Corner.

19-Jun-2011, Pulau Aman trip was planned month back, finally it is the shooting day. Lucky shooting day is after Celebrity Chef Chen Hong, else i might have to cancel the trip. So me and Stephy travel from island to Autocity to meet up with the video crew. 

After meeting up we decide to go makan our breakfast at Sentosa Corner which is located in Bukit Mertajam. I been there for a few times as my 2 uncle are living there :)

The front view of the shop.

I love their yam rice and pork soup ever since i tried it. Every time i pay my uncle a visit i for sure pay them a visit :)
The yam rice stall also selling this pork leg vinegar, but it don't live up to my standard as i tried better one before.  

Another must try food at Sentosa Corner is this siu pau stall. You will not miss it as the fragrant aroma from the freshly bake oven. I love the siu pau, mini kaya tart, mini chocolate tart, pineapple tart ... OMG, i love most of their pastry :) So next time when pay this place a visit make sure you tapau them home and try it.


Keep in the freeze, when want to eat. Put in the over or toaster to reheat it. You will get back the yummy aroma and soft texture again. Tau pau alot from there many times liau :)


After our breakfast we start our journey to Pulau Aman.

Interested for more adventure at Pulau Aman?
