Every time I go home from work, the very first thing I ask from God is to give me a peace of mind. And during the weekend, I will try to spend some time to be alone listening to music or meditate or read book. It’s a simple thing that I enjoy a lot.
However, sometimes I prefer to go out to explore the world especially my lovely Penang state. Many months ago, I joined my friends to an island off the coast of Bukit Tambun, Seberang Prai, Penang.
It’s the Pulau Aman. Literally translated to Peaceful Island.
Pulau Aman is a small Malay fishing Village. To reach Pulau Aman, we drove all the way from Penang island to Batu Kawan in mainland. We past by the Batu Kawan Stadium and followed the signboard to jetty. If you are lost, ask the people around for direction. Anyway, it’s easy to reach the jetty. Do not worry, you will not get lost.
We were at the jetty at 10.30am and bought a two ways boat trip that cost RM 6 per person.
Pulau Aman is not far away from the jetty and it’s very visible from far.
It was a very hot day. To those who plan to visit the island, get prepared umbrella or cap to protect yourself if you want to walk around the island.
From the Pulau Aman jetty, we walked to the much talked about Restaurant Terapung Pulau Aman.
It’s at this restaurant, the mouth watering seafood are served.
As usual, we called for the mee udang, either goreng or rebus style. The taste is not bad but I can’t say it’s very good. It’s the prawns freshness and big in size that caught my attention.
At the same time, we ordered the freshly caught prawn mantis and crabs from the fisherman. The seafood really looks superb fresh and juicy…
Just take a look at this little creature… wakkaaa…
And the gang…
After taken our lunch, we went for sightseeing albeit under the hot sun but windy day. Coconut trees greeted us along the coast and there’s a few nice chalets at one part of the island.
I believed the chalet is a nice place to group a bunch of friends for BBQ at night. 
After some sightseeing, I decided to search for ‘siput’. It reminds me of my childhood time in Malay village. And once awhile I went to Teluk Bahang Malay Village for the siput as well. Fun and lively life.
We ended our tour with mak cik’s ice kacang that came with lot of peanuts. Love it.
Pulau Aman is indeed a real peaceful area. No car, no noise pollution. Windy and the natural surrounding is still virgin( I hope I am right). The seafood is definitely very fresh and a must try!
So check it out for yourself at Pulau Aman!
Glad to read your blog post again
Any accommodation there to stay overnight?
