    There is only one main street at Pangkor Town. The shops there have an air about them that nothing has changed in the past 20 years...except maybe the prices! LOL

    Apart from local dried seafood, the shops also sell produce from other Malaysian states.

    Dried Cuttlefish - vacuum-packed for additional freshness
    Ikan Satay-dried sweetened fish that children love to snack on
    Dried cuttlefish snacks - light brown soft strips, or honey-brown sweetened pieces of fish, three to a stick. (they have quite an artificial taste, but somehow, they are very "moorish" - the more you eat, the more you want! LOL
    Cheap t-shirts-RM5 (Just over US$1.30) each!

    RM5-12 per pack

    There are a number of shops selling dried seafood. With modern technology, there are shops that offer vacuum-sealed packaging for increased freshness. It also looks better when you present it to family and friends.

    The traditional style of dried seafood in large buckets are also on offer, and you can pick and choose from many varieties, and pay by the kg. Although the price is not so different from on the mainland shops, the turnover ensures that the produce is always fresh so you can buy with confidence.

    Dried cuttlefish - delicious in pork bone and old cucumber soup!

    The ubiqutious Anchovies (ikan bilis) - all sizes and many grades

    Sweetened fish and cuttlefish snacks (spicy varieties are also available)

    Dried cuttle fish – vacumm packed : RM 10 per pack

    Dried sotong (in flat pieces, sort of rolled up) - $ 7 for 500gm

    Curly ikan bilis – RM10 per 500gm

  • There is a souvenir shop next to the reception where you can buy chocolates, cookies, teas, crafts, t-shirts and other souvenirs. It's a bit pricy but it's the only shop in the island besides the one at the Spa Village, which sells mainly beauty products.

    All local sea product shops.

    Latest comparison made, the price of dried squid here in Pangkor is much more cheaper than those that being sold in Mersing, Johor. Bought it in Pangkor during my visit and recently just bought in Mersing, humongous diffences both in price, quality and size. All positively goes to the dried squid from Pangkor.

  • Look for sea products such as dried prawns, prawn crackers, coconut products ..etc. Prices are not really that cheap when compared to the city but its way fresher here. I bought a whole load of stuff for my mum. She was so pleased :)

    'Pangkor' T-shirts, seashells souvenirs and dried seafood.

    The best idea for gifts are, perhaps, free! Get some seashells from the beaches. You can really find beautiful patterned ones if you were patient.

    Try to bargain at shops in Pangkor Town if possible. Some items may be more expensive than usual.

    Kedai Mee Tan Kim Aik: Mi sua/wheat noodles

    Drying the old fashioned way
    by anoum, 2 more photos
    An old shop that is family-run as are most things on this island. There are only two shops making this type of noodles.

    Mi sua, a type of noodles made from wheat. A traditional Chinese food. The type made on Pangkor island is thicker than those elsewhere and tastes really smooth. Better than others.

    Four types are available here - the normal white coloured, green coloured (vegetable colour), slightly yellow coloured and another type that is paper-thin slivers instead of long strands.

    A packet of four costs RM2.50. If you buy two packets, you will get it for RM4. The last type is the most expensive at RM3 a packet.

  • Directions: From the main jetty of Pangkor, turn left (your back to Lumut) and walk straight. About 10 mins walk. The shop is the second shop from a junction. The shop next to it that faces the main road is one that sells tea leaves.
