Tidbits to try when visiting Malaysia
On our way back to Singapore from Tioman. I managed to buy some local stuffs. I believed some of you may have already tried the tidbits. However, there are 2 that I like to specially recommend to all of you. One was advertised by Chen Liping & Xu MeiZhen on their Food variety show and the other was just another of my favourite.
This is just like the "Pong Pian" and is one of the best that I have tried so far. The filling inside is Malt candy and outside is very crunchy. This is A MUST BUY and I realized middle aged people like my mother and father really love it. Well, Infact I also love this. One pack only have 10 pieces inside so you MUST BUY MORE. 9.90RM each pack. Muruku Ikan... I bought this without knowing what was inside. I just bought it because I have seen this almost everywhere so "shui pian lah"(anything lah), just grab one and try. This tasted just like the smaller version of those "tidbits fishball". It is flat and the color is the same. Not too bad and you can eat it for very long as there are many packets inside. Price tag shown that it is not more than 4.50rm. :)

Food At Pantai Paya Restaurant - Tioman
We had our dinner second day at this restaurant, Pantai Paya Restaurant. This restaurant is owned by a chinese family and they speak teochew. The food was nice too but all of felt that the food at Paya Beach Resort tasted better. We ordered 5 dishes. There are fish, prawns, vegetable, squid & chicken. Total spending was around 180 rm for 6 pax.

Restaurant At Paya Beach Resort
Well, there wasn't much choices of restaurant at Paya Beach. Hence, we decided to settle our first night dinner at Paya Beach Resort. I am glad we didn't make the wrong choice because the food was quite nice. Among all the dishes we have ordered, I think the squid tasted the best. It was fresh and it tasted crunchy. Total Spending was around 150 plus rm.
Tom Yum Soup & Spicy Kangkong

Claypot Toufu (Simple & nice)


Lemon Chicken (Mmm.. Not bad)

Tioman Island - Snorkelling Trip
Our purpose of this trip is to snorkel. So, we made our enquiries at the activities counter in Paya Beach Resort. We wanted to go on 5 different spots and was quoted 70RM per pax which was different from the quotation that Paya Beach Resort gave us through the email. When I enquired the receptionist on the price again, they are not very open in quoting the price, the way they replied me seems to be hiding something like this. Their replied was " I am not sure about it, You have to ask that man over there (the operator)." I told the lady I was quoted 50RM for the full snorkelling trip when i enquired in singapore through them and their price list inside the room indicated 50RM as well. She just kept quiet and walked away. Since we were quoted 70RM from the operator, we decided to approach another operator on the island. This time, another operator on the island quoted me 400RM for a personal speed boat and she mentioned lunch was provided. Since the speed boat was only catered for the 6 of us and lunch was provided. We decided to buy her package even though it average out to 67RM per pax.
The next day, we set out around 10am instead of 9am because one of my friend had a terrible headache. They were quite flexible with the timing as there were only 6 of us going on the speed boat. As promised, our spots included
Tulai Island(Coral Island) - 2 different spots.
Salang Island (Lunch will also be there)
Renggis Island
Marine Park
Total: 400RM
Snorkel Mask and Life Jacket: 15RM for whole day (easily available beside the reception counter)
Bread:3RM for the bigger loaves. 1.50RM for the smaller one.
I had a terrible time on the boat maybe because I had too much beer the night before. I puked two times throughout the whole journey even when I had already took sea sick pills. Two voted spots are the first stop at Tulai and Renggis Island. We did not have a chance to snorkel at Salang Island as that stupid speed boat operator kept hurrying us to the next stop. I thought that was agreed in the package?? Moreover there are NO people except us. The best part was THERE WERE NO LUNCH PROVIDED! Felt SO CHEATED! I even saw the price stated clearly in Salang. For 70RM, you can go for the REAL full round trip that include Waterfall.
As I only paid 50RM for the deposit, I went back and confronted the woman who sold us the package. She denied saying lunch was provided and I tried to negotiate the price with her. Anyway tioman is their territory, so I just LPPL paid for the balance. So, if you guys are first timer to Tioman, remember to ask clearly. However, if you are choosing to go for their 2 spots snorkel trip, it would just be 35RM which is quite standard and they will indicate the price clearly on their board.
Since we enjoyed the trip, we just forget it lah! :)
