Pangkor Island, Perak, Malaysia

Pangkor Island (Pulau Pangkor), located off the coast of Perak, Malaysia, reachable from the jetty in Lumut town. Has a large production of dried seafood products. With only a population of around 25,000, you can expect a calm and lay back holiday destination.

Once you have reached Pangkor jetty aprox 45 minutes from the Lumut jetty. You will find the Taxi square where all the taxis are parked. Choose one and ask them to take you to your hotel. Till now, year 2014, its still cost MYR10.00 or USD$3.00 per ride. Once reached, you can request for car, bicycle, or motorbike rental. Its best to rent a bike to tour around the island. A car is not recommended because some parts of the road is narrow and somewhat dangerous.

For accommodation, me and my wife personally preferred Sea View Resort located at Pasir Bogak. Its chalet is one of the nearest to the beach chalet we can find with an affordable price. But it has only eight of those.

Food here in Sea View Resort is not world class. Its just enough to cure your hunger. We particularly like the "Yong Chow" fried rice. Its tasty and nice. Price is alright I guess consider you are having you meal facing the sea. A plate of "Yong Chow" fried rice will cost around MYR10.00 (USD$3.00).
