Furthermore, its local products also become one of major attractions here, in Pulau Aman.

-‘ Belacan’ and salted or dried fish.

‘Belacan’ is a condiment made of ‘geragau’ (krill) that has been salted, dried and fermented, and is an essential ingredient in Peranakan and Malay cuisine. It is usually mixed with chili, lime, salt and sugar to create ‘sambal belacan’, a must-have chili condiment accompanying meals eaten in many Peranakan, Malay and Eurasian households in Singapore and Malaysia

The history of ‘belacan’ is it believed to have been first manufactured about 200 years ago in Malacca. It was so closely associated with Malacca that it was given the nickname “Malacca cheese”. Others suggest that the condiment was originally made in Penang at Kampong Awak, a fishing settlement on the island’s north coast.

While, salted fish or ‘ikan masin’ is one of the oldest ways to preserve fresh fish in order to prevent them from decaying. Before refrigeration technique was invented, fish and other seafood were cured in salt or salt water.

Other than preserving the fish with salt water, dried fish is also very popular. The fish are gutted, sprinkled heavily with coarse sea salt and then left to dry on the beach in the hot sun for several days. The result is desiccated fish, free of moisture, which can be kept for months to be made later into many kinds of food. Many kinds of fish are salted. Common ones include stingray, gelama, talang, king mackerel, kurau and jack.





Local product

- Fresh seafood

People who visited Pulau Aman can see the freshness of their seafood as they sold at the entrance of the ‘Restoran Terapung Pulau Aman’. The visitors can buy the seafood and brought it to the restaurant. They can request any types of delicacies that they want.

Special Information in Pulau Aman

Next, at the Jalan Telaga Emas, it will lead you to an old well dating back to 1789. This well is unique because it never runs dry even during the worst drought and its water continues to remain fresh even when mixed with sea water. Many visitors draw water from the well to bathe in as it is believed that it will bring them good luck.

According to the legend, there is a young man who discovered a spring when digging on a beach. He decided to dig deeper to make a well for the villagers. To his surprise, he found a golden vase. He quickly rushed to the village to tell the others but when they went back to the spot, they found only gold-colored stones.

When British officials heard of the incident, they hired some villagers to search for the gold-colored stones. Samples were sent for analysis and the results showed they were not gold after all. Digging was stopped when a depth of 2.3 meters was reached.

There is also an old grave at the top of the hill near Batu Perompak which is believed to be the final resting place of a pirate chief called Panglima Garang. "Batu Perompak" literally means "Pirate's Rock" and in the olden days it was the haunt of pirates who plundered the waters around the island.

At the nearby island of Pulau Gedung, there is a "Gua Lanun" or "Pirates' Cave" where pirates sheltered and hoarded their loot. You can get to the island by hiring a boat for about RM 60 (max. 12 person). You can also find some of the World War II ammunitions depot here.
