It was a sunny Friday back on May 25th when I was having my semester break,I had my first visit to Pulau Aman together with my college course mates. Pulau Aman, a small island that had never come into my mind until that day when I am introduced about the availability of the delectable foods there. Well, the key point is
freshness of the foods served. It took us about a 45 minutes of drive towards the pier for Pulau Aman excluding the massive traffic jam we encountered in that particular morning.

The 6 Malaysian Ringgit boat ride to and fro.
It was surprisingly chilling during our boat ride towards the island under the hot yet searing sun that day. The breezes were so joyfully awesome until the boat docked at the small pier of Pulau Aman. Upon arrival, there is barely a thing to be expected for luxuries. There is a Fishermen's Club of Pulau Aman and a primary school on the island. Yes, a primary school on the island where there are students and teachers who ride boats every single schooling day towards and from the island for education.

The pier had been docked with quite a number of fishermen's boats.
Our final destination on the island, Restaurant Terapung (Floating).
It took us a walking distance towards the restaurant named, Restaurant Terapung, through a very small village and passing by the primary school on the island. Frankly speaking, the life on the island is very plain and simple due to its rurality. Majority of the villagers depend their lives on fishing based on my personal assumption.

We were there for the mantis prawns but we ended up having the Mee Udang instead. The reasons for our miss was the fishermen has yet to be returned from fishing and there were not even one mantis prawn left in the containers. Regardless of the miss, all of us enjoyed our bowls of Mee Udang especially the fresh and sweetish huge prawns served together with the dishes we ordered.

With the satisfactory, we left Pulau Aman after having the delicious bowls of Mee Udang and conversations back to Penang Island. I am looking forward to give a try on the mantis prawns and some explorations on Pulau Aman.
