For the price of a hotel buffet for 4, we decided to go fish for our meal in a kelong. Click HERE for the restaurant.
We had great fun, even though the booking process was not exactly pleasant.
The bumboat there is $100 for 12 paxes and it does not matter if you have 1 pax or 12. To book, you must first put in a deposit of $100 and this is taken off your final food bill. You also have to pre-order your food because they need to buy stuff to cook for you. I was told that there would be gong-gong, squid etc... caught fresh from the kelong. So, I ordered those. However, when we got there, the staff said that those have not been raised in the kelong for a long time. There is nothing but fish and lala caught fresh there. Since we have celiacs in the party, I had to ask a few times to get any sense of whether the dishes were gluten free. Then, I had to ask a few times in order to get a sense of how much the meal would cost (having made my pre-order).
All said, it is an experience we do not regret. We will not do it again because of the hefty booking process but it was a fun day out. The portions given for each dish are generous too!
