They’re not a full operating restaurant, but we came here because of the review / Google and was pleasantly surprised!
It was away from the tourist crowd and the menu was not extensive. The owner will recommend you dishes that she’s good at and cook up a storm of good, homey food for you and your group of friends to enjoy. Ambience is good, really a nice place to just chill with a group of friends.
Price is very very reasonable, both the lady and male owner are very very friendly too.
Highly recommended if you want some nice place to just have some beer, simple food to enjoy this small fishing village.

4 of us went to Pulau Ketam for a day trip. Instead of the more touristy restaurants, we decided to have lunch here. It was a home where they also serve meals. It was home cooked and we were the only customers there since it was a weekday. This makan place is off the tourist path, over 1km walk from the jetty. We found this place on Google map. The owner was friendly, ambience was good, food was good and cheap. We had prawns, fried sotong, chicken feet and yau mak as well as 6 cans of cold tiger beer. Weather was perfect. If you want a local experience for lunch or dinner, I would recommend this place.
Little that we know we chose this quite random makan spot that needed to pass a few bridges--about 1.5km away from the jetty area. Located in one of the locals' house, we were their only customer over lunch but Aunty really cooks amazing seafood at a reasonable priceee ❤️❤️❤️
-The mantis shrimp was twice the usual amount
-Chewyyy squids cooked in curry powder
-Claypot stingray with vegetablesss
TIPS: Call them to book seafood that you want 2 days in advance!!
Off the beaten track from the commercial restaurants on the main street, you will find this house turn restaurant. Simple layout where aunty will first offer you beers and then lays out the table. She'll then cook what she has in her fridge (yes, it's a limited menu but definitely assortment of seafood). You just gotta wait and be deliciously surprised.
P/S: 5 stars to Aunty's hospitality ❤️

Ok, this is not for your average traveller and not for an upscale dining connoisseur. The place is a hike to get to (we did not rent a e-bike) so had to walk close to a kilometre from the Jetty. Once you get there, first impressions is deflating as it is literally someone's house. Beverages is self service, you get it out of her fridge :). Then she brings out meat and fish, and asks whether it looks OK, not a single indication of what she is going to do with it, so again, you are left dazed and confused. But my GOD the wizardry this auntie has is mind boggling. I had never had fish head stew before, Teo Chew style of course and a myriad of other simple looking dishes that really packs a punch. Is pointless saying any more that this as you will find it hard to believe :) Proof of the pudding is in the eating, so please, get yourself on a boat and let this magician sort you out. Please dont ruin it by giving her lessons on what to cook, just let it happen!
