Remember peeps, Island's food are always overpriced. Imagine the boatmen have to bring their supply all the way from mainland to the island just to operate their restaurants. It just common sense that they sell their food overpriced to the point its scary. Normal fried rice with egg would cost RM 10.00 ($ 2.45). Rice with side dish such as Chicken Paprik or Sweet and Sour Fish would cost RM 15.00 ($ 3.67). 

If you want to go even fancier with seafood. you can ordered up some grilled seafood such as squid, prawns, shark, king fish and many more. Bare in mind though that grilled seafood doesn't come cheap. It cost about RM 25.00 ($ 6.12) per piece of fish or squid. Additional grilled dish will cost RM 15.00 ($ 3.67) without rice or anything.

RM 15.00 for additional 4 prawns

There are existing package with the local hostel / hotel / villa. All you gotta do is ask the reception about the food package available and what type of food they will prepare for you. Now that you know grilled seafood cost about RM 25.00 ($ 6.12), if you been charged RM 30.00 ($ 7.35) for buffet including grilled seafood will be more than fantastic.

The most expensive grilled seafood is at World Cafe at Perhentian Island Long Beach Resort where one piece of King Fish can cost up to RM 45.00 ($ 11.02) per piece. It really depend what you after either a good food or simply a stall food along the beach.
