A very small Chinese temple
situated at the bottom of Coral Beach.
I love sitting up here. Looking out to sea or over the small bay
while in the background, the soft tinkle of Chinese music sooths you into a relaxed,
calming frame of mind.

Fu Lin Kong Temple – Pangkor Island
The Fu Lin Kong Temple is the
biggest Taoist temple on the island.
The temple is located in
Sungai Pinang Besar village, at the bottom of Pangkor Hill.
Many Chinese tourists come
here to pray. However, it is a favourite place for foreign tourists due to its
natural and peaceful environment as well as a wonderful photo opportunity.
There are also turtles and
plenty of fishes in the ponds around the temple.

Sunset Dinner at Coral Beach - Pangkor Island Blog 3
Tonight we dined at Danny
& Zharff Corner.
Having passed it earlier on
our morning walk and then again after a day on the beach, Mr R and I just had
to go back after seeing they served a multitude of stuffed roti canai.
Roti canai or roti cane is a type of Indian-influenced
flatbread found in Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and Singapore. Roti is a bread
dough, containing abundant amounts of ghee (clarified butter), flour and water.
The entire mixture is kneaded thoroughly, flattened, oiled and folded
repeatedly. It is then allowed to proof and rise, and the process is repeated.
The final round of preparation consists of flattening the
dough ball, spreading it out until paper thin and then oiled, before being folded
repeatedly. Most plain roti are round, while those with fillings are square in
shape due to the folding of the roti, then cooked on a flat iron skillet with a
lot of oil.
Roti onion Served

Roti sardine Served
with a lentil dal, (lentil curry) Ringgit 5/£0.89/€1.06/₽65.86/$1.16 – (I love
red chilli, but if you are not a spice fan then tell them to hold the chilli.)
plenty of red chilli in there!!!
Mixed veg noodles Ringgit

Water 1.5L Ringgit
3/£0.54/€0.64/₽39.52/$0.69
The food was amazing. The best cooked roti I have had in
ages. Crispy on the outside and light on fluffy on the inside. As for the
noodles, well beam me up Scottie! Darn me they were good. Scrumptious, full of
veg and huge chunks crispy fried tofu. The added crispy onions bits just made
this slightly fiery dish move noodles to another level.
Friendly staff and toucan!
As for the view well that just speaks for itself.
Coral Beach Pangkor Island- Blog 2
What better way to start the
day and your appetite than a morning stroll on the beach
Just a few minutes’ walk from
Teluk Nipah where MR R and I are staying.
Coral beach is the best beach
on the west coast. Clear emerald-green
water, and a bleached sandy beach. The perfect beach for sunbathing and swimming.
There are a few restaurants
that are open all day.
Although there is only one
restaurant offering sunbeds, there are plenty of trees to shade under.
If you are more active, then
there are kakas to hire. Snorkelling and boat trips.
Not a sun lover? Then make a trip for sunset.
My Holiday on Pangkor Island Malaysia – Blog 1
Pangkor Island is a resort island in the Manjung District, of
Perak, Malaysia.
The centre of the island is forested and home to 65 reptile
species, 17 amphibian species.
Pangkor Island is a place very dear to mine and Mr. R’s
heart. For six years we visited this beautiful island twice a year- each visit
for two months. We made some amazing friends,
and on each visit felt more and more part of this small little community. Having
a four year respite, to explore more of Malaysia and other countries we finally
returned yesterday.
HOW TO GET THERE:
A three-hour drive from Kuala Lumpur, by car or bus to
Lumut. Public ferries depart from Lumut to Pangkor from the old Lumut jetty, and
Lumut waterfront.
The ferry services start from 7.00am till 8.30pm, every 20 minutes.
Cost of ferry: Ringgit 14/£2.50/€2.97/₽184.48/$3.23 RETURN TICKET.
There are two stops at the
east side of Pangkor Island. The first stop is at Sungai Pinang, SPK jetty. Mainly
for local residents, fishing-people, and guests for some guesthouses. The
second stop is at Pangkor Town Jetty, the main drop for tourists.
Taxi service available to all
hotels.
