Seems like my maiden trip to Perhentian Island leaves with me many first time-experience here. While waiting the next flight back to KL, we ordered some light and quick snacks to fill up the idle time as well as our tummy too
There are not many people around that time, so it’s easy for us to get a seat pretty fast, overlooking the plane touchdown area. Got the lunch treat set of Famous Bowl Combo. It comes with the poplets of chicken bites which are quite tender, on top of a bed of hot rice, with some kernels. The corn is sweet and savoury in the brownish gravy.

Goreng Pisang

We also got ourselves with some Goreng Pisang besides the keropok lekor while strolling along the historical town on a bright sunny day. The fried banana fritters is definitely much generous over here, compare to those I got it from stalls which are nearby my office in KL The banana used here is not from rastali breed, although am actually looking for the variety That type comes with some sourness amidst the sweetness of banana, which I hardly find nowadays elsewhere. Anyway, the snack from this stall is pretty decent, crunchy on the outer layer with softness inside. It would be better if the banana is much sweeter.

While on the way back, we decided to take away some local dishes from the town, so to have a taste to see if anything special and different from KL area.

One thing good about having a simple fare here is that it will always be good for value , either in terms of price and quantity wise.

The Curry Noodle is not that spicy, but fares better than metropolitan in the sense that the sides are generously given. Curry gravy is just nice and not too much of coconut milk, which goes decently good with fried wan tan, slices of char siew, long beans and etc.

Some combination you won’t easily find in KL. And I always love to pair my curry noodle with ‘hor fun’ instead of the usual yellow noodles

As for the dried Hakka Mee, surprisingly delish, not too oily and portion is huge. Minced meat is adequately marinated with the special sauce. A simple but makes a hearty plate. Slurps!

Banana Milkshake

It is actually quite a surprise to be able to find Banana Milkshake over here, on the beach, haha Still not too bad the way it is presented, in a tall glass of coarsely blended ice cubes, that is added with some milk and unmistakably banana taste. Topping towering tall on top is some milky and creamy layer of foam, with some dashes of chocolate bits too. Quite satisfying, but would be better if it is more chocolaty for banana really pairs well with this sweetness

Zitoni Napoleoni

Due to its alien and unique name given, so I called for it to try out of curiosity, haha. Later do I find that it is actually zitoni pasta that is cooked with some reddish sweet and sour sauce, that comes with mild spiciness. The sauce does reminds me of the savory type that is eaten with Blue Marlin at one the café at Long Beach. This little mini hollow pipes are sautéed al dente with the spices, some onions and also the appetizing gravy. It is decently toothsome albeit very humbly served with some sides of cucumber and tomatoes Yum Yum!
