Koko restaurant @Pulau Kapas

I didn’t know it was quite a bad idea to go to East Coast islands in September. As monsoon is coming, it rains almost every day. When we arrived in the morning about 930am, the sky was cloudy and started to rain. But Alhamdulillah not so heavy.

On the 2nd day, it was a bright sunny, only drizzling in the evening. 

And it’s also not a good time to swim because jellyfish season has started apparently. We can see many of them from the island jetty. But as advised, it’s better to swim in the afternoon till early evening to avoid them. So we had to cancel a snorkeling trip. Instead, we just swam at the shoreline and did kayaking. But still, it has corals and we can see many type of fish too. I found a family of Nemo!

I went with 3 other friend-colleagues. They’re from Philippines and I’m glad that I got to introduce one of our best islands in Peninsular. The island is only about 6km from Marang jetty, so we can actually see the mainland from the island. It’s still beautiful with the clear blue water.

Other than my experience swimming, crawling, climbing and hiking to the Bukit Singa, there’s nothing much highlight for this trip. But one thing I wanna share out loud is the Koko restaurant. The food there was amazing and delicious. The people were so friendly and the abang chef was so nice to spend times to chit chat with us.

Basically, they offered a local food. We had dinner there for 2 nights and tried the delicious Chicken with Coco sauce. Well, its actually a ‘ayam masak lemak cili padi’. My damn favorite kot! Then we tried masak singgang or I think they called it Ginger sauce. I forgot the type of fish, but it was very yummy. We also ate fried King Fish with sweet sour sauce which was so tasty too!

To those who want to go to Pulau Kapas, I definitely recommend this restaurant. The price is reasonable especially when you share with more than 2 people. It’s surely worth the money. 
Thumbs up! 👍
