SeaFOOD weekend!

Looks like I am posting a lot on food lately in my blog. Well, I did not do that on purpose but somehow it is the only idea running through my head!

Last Friday I travel back to Penang to celebrate mother's day with mummy! Yes I know it is pretty late but then it is the best time where all of us is around! Jay, me, daddy and mummy! The entire adventure of Penang trip begins with a wake up call on Saturday! While waiting for my sis to arrived from Ipoh, we decided to head to Pulau Aman for a short island sight seeing/ food eating trip! How to get there? I seriously do not know! What I know is that the port to the island is located in mainland Penang where we have to pass by Batu Kawan stadium!

This is the place where we waited for our boat to the island!

There were certain time for us to catch the ferry to the island and back! The ferry transfer cost RM6 (return trip) per person. There were hotels ranging from budget stay (RM5 pernight with minimum of 8pax) in a school to medium cost chalet (RM70 per night facing another island) to a little costly and yet cheap chalet (RM120). The condition of the hotels were not as nice as those top notch vacation spots. It is more of a village style! Good to try!

The best part of this island is the seafood! Yesh! The seafood!

In cantonese, we called it Lai Liu Har. In hokkien we call it hea kor. In english? I dono!

Crab on the table!

There were restaurants set up in the island itself. Our favourite pick was the one located at the shore (where they extend the platform out to the sea). There they serve the catch of the day. i.e. prawns, fish, crabs and many more! 

here comes the catch of the day!

All we need to do is to pick our sea creature alive..ahem of course from their tank not sea! They will catch them for you in a pail and we bring them to our table in the restaurant.

 Then the waiter will come and pick up your sea-creature and steam them into seafood!

NYUM NYUM! Delicious!

We usually eat the ready peeled! Today, we learn how to peel! Cut the head, cut the side and peel them like banana! HAHABANANA! Just be cautious! their back side and head are pretty sharp!

The place is cleaner than I expected! And they do serve super nice mee goreng as well with 3 large prawns!!!! AWESOME!!!!!

After much fun around the island, we head back to Tambun for lunch with my sis! The night ended with an awesome garden dinner with my family in our very own little garden! We had crabsssss, huge fish and bee hoon! NICE!!! But outch! I hurt my finger while cracking my crabs! BLEEEDING!!!!

Well, I am of course back home already..and I miss my parents so so much!
