Where should I eat in Pangkor

Where should I eat in Pangkor?

One thing you ought to know is that you should go to Pangkor expecting fine dining or even anything close. Don't get me wrong. Food is defintely good there but you will mostly find yourself eating in coffeeshops or open air restaurants. It's a tropical island after all...

Pasir Bogak

There are plenty of places to eat at Pasir Bogak. There are several seafood restaurants in the area and you won't miss them. In particular, next to Coral Bay Resort, there is a very popular restaurant which sells BBQ seafood at night. The raw seafood is laid out and you can choose what you want for barbequed before you over a charcoal grill. I did not eat there but it was packed every night I was there so I would imagine that it is pretty good.

Ye-Lin Seafood Restaurant

ye-lin I highly recommend this seafood restaurant which is on the right hand side of Coral Bay Resort. Ambience wise, it is much better than any of the other seafood restuarants in Pasir Bogak. The restaurant is in a one storey building on a sizeable piece of private land, which means that you are not eating next to the road. Lots of locals frequent the place, which is always a good sign and I actually ate there twice during my stay in Pangkor.

The place specialises in seafood and you can ask the friendly waitresses to recommend dishes to you. One dish I especially liked was their "chao pai dou fu" or famous tofu. It is fried tofu which is crispy outside but silky smooth and soft inside. It is topped off with a savoury brown sauce and the Pangkor specialty, dried silver fish.

The prices are only very marginally higher than other places, but for the quality, it is well worth it.

Pangkor Town

There are several seafood restaurants in Pangkor Town. Just walk along the main street and you will see them. The prices here are a little cheaper than Pasir Bogak but the quality is still decent.

After dinner, you can walk along the streets and browse in the many souvenir shops and all the sops selling Pangkors most important export, dried seafood.

Sungei Pinang Kechil spk

For breakfast, you should drop by Sungei Pinang Kechil. Along the main street, there are several coffeeshops selling local hawker food. There are hawkers who set up stall along the street as well. The time I was there, I saw one street hawker making chee cheong fun. It was very interesting to see how he managed to transform a mixture of flour and water into into the mouth watering dish. Besides chee cheong fun, other dishes you can try are curry noodles, "kon-lo mee" (dried noodles), chicken feet noodles and chicken rice. Each dish will cost you about RM$2. Definitely good and cheap!
