This place is located at Sg. Pinang Besar in Pangkor Island and its a good place to have your dinner in the island. Good food at reasonable price. We ordered wild boar meat cooked with salted vege, a shark curry, a crab curry, veges, seaweed soup, deep fried mantis prawn paste, 1 fried noodles and 2 fried rice.

The wild boar is ok, something different cooked with salted vege, quite nice in fact but have to be taken with rice. The shark curry is no doubt excellent, served in their thick curry style, its just like a very soft sting ray meat. Next up are the curry crabs which are flower crabs but quite meaty and nice thick curry again, yummy! The seaweed soup is simply fresh and the stock are nice and tasty with generous amount of local fishballs. Deep fried mantis prawn paste are crispy and top with a good nice sauce. I guess seafood is cheaper here than meat, the fried noodles are filled with seafood like fishball and fish cake. The fried rice was so surprisingly good that we ordered another plate after the first one, the bbq pork flavour was all over the rice even at first bite.

The bill plus tea came out to RM137 for 7 persons and for so many dishes, definitely value for money unlike certain places in the island that is slaughtering tourists!

What else better to eat in Sitiawan but seafood and so we did. On the way to Pangkor, 8 of us stopped by Restoran Ferng Wei in Sitiawan town (just next to Nissan service) which my uncle brought me the last time I was in town.

We ordered a claypot of curry prawns, steam red snapper, deep fried squid, fried oysters in omelette, hot plate tofu and the 4 heavenly king veges. The curry is definately local style, which are a bit thick and dry with big prawns in it enough for everyone and goes great with rice. The fish is simply good because of how fresh it is, you can taste the sweetness of the flesh. The rest are ok except for the veges which is different from those in KL. They basically use brinjal, petai, 4 sides beans and lady fingers fried in a belacan chili sauce then top it with lots of fried dry anchovies. The crispy anchovies goes really good with the veges.

All the above plus rice and tea works out to about RM97.60, now that is really value for money, plus all the seafood are fresh!
