Mantis Prawn 攋尿蝦 and Mee Udang @ Pulau Aman

Pulau Aman, a home to a traditional Malay village, is famous for its seafood. To get there, you will need to a catch a boat at Jeti Batu Musang in Batu Kawan. Here's the location of Jeti Batu Musang. It's RM6.00 per two-way trip. You only pay it during the return trip.

Here's the location of Jeti Batu Musang.

There, you can see Pulau Aman straight ahead.

There's the boat. It's a public holiday, so the boat will only depart when there's enough people.

And finally, we departed..

After about 45 minutes trip, we reached Pulau Aman..
What are these? I have no idea.. Perhaps they are fish farming devices...

Sent them to the restaurant (the only restaurant there) where we ate mee udang to boil the fresh mantis prawns..
