Pangkor Laut, 3 days 2 night, March 2023
Waiting near Pangkor Laut resort “lobby” on jeti’s side for our free speed boat transfer
Leaving from Pangkor Marina jetty
Almost reaching the island exclusively for Pangkor Laut YTL resort
Docking
Map of whole island
One of the restaurant in the resident package, each person can order one main+1 appetizer or one main+1 dessert
Nice view from our table
The tiramisu texture is horrible, it is basically clacky soft mushy underneath, I think too much coffee or it has been made for awhile that water seep to bottom
Our seaview room
One downside is there is no bidet next to toilet bowl
The bathtub opens up to the sea, not that we feel safe opening it up
From bathtub
Uncle Lim restaurant which is also part of resident package. For us 2 pax, we can order 3 dishes, and there will be soup of the day + dessert is fixed to be fruit platter
Soup looks simpe but surprisingly very nice, peppery and nice
Beef rendang, popular dish, taste ok
Loves this fresh crunch asparagus with yummy fresh prawn
View from our dining table
Walking back to our seaview room on stilts
From our seaview hotel area, we can walk on wooden pathway to Fisherman Cove, the restaurant looks nice but this is not included in resident package
We went super early like 7am to breakfast, lots of choices
Always love a fresh juice
Nasi lemak is so so, it is not piping hot and has some spice used which I don’t really like
Porridge is really nice
View from breakfast area
Nasi lemak looks nice but I not fond of the sambal taste which has unusual spice used
Yumm
Nice juggle walk exercise
The hike starts from library area, and ends at Emerald Bay beach, quite a good workout
Reached Emerald Bay, the beach is not clean, rubbish all over with 2 workers busy sweeping up the branches and rubbish. And there is many jellyfish small-ish plankton(was told it is not jellyfish) in the area that nobody is playing in the water. I swam a little and felt like the plankton is making my skin feels itchy so I chicken out and quickly swam back
The banana leaf served in cafe next to Emerald Bay is yummy!
Fish and chip is big portion and not bad
View from the cafe
Cendol is so so
Back to our seaview room, wave washing over lots of rubbish including a big rice bag
The jellyfish like plankton which fills the beach of whole island during the time of our visit, making the water un-swimmable
At night we went to dinner buffet, selection is not great but we didn’t want to go to Uncle Lim restaurant again (which is too filling as the dishes are very big portion and can order only limited items)
The dinner buffet is surprisingly cheap which makes us think the resident package is not really a bargain. If we go again, will try to negotiate only 1 day resident package and 2nd night room only
Breakfast roti jala, too crispy
Rubbishes washed up from overnight tide
Water is clear but lots of corals, only Emerald Bay’s beach on the other side of the island is swimmable, but too bad plankton filled it while we visited
Covered parking for 3 night is jeti at RM35/day!
Jia Fatt meesua, a landed house in Setaiwan, their mee SUA is nice
They sells different noodle. Start from RM 6 per pack, j bought Mee SUA and dried pan mee. Mee sua is nice, dried pan mee is usual. Be sure to drop by when going back to KL cos it just add 2km to the total journey back to KL.
We also went First Ocean trading to buy pangkor ikan bilis, they have 2 shop nearby, aanother must visit to get ikan bilis, adding just 3km to total journey.
Bought Mokla keropok lekor on the way back, just okay
Dined in random restaurant in Sekinchan
Okay small-ish prawn
Very fresh seafood from Hai Seng Huat, sekinchan, RM70 for big prawn(20pc per kg)
