How to maximize your FUN at Kelong!

You know, people always think that staying in a Kelong means living without the comfort of technology, but hey!
Kelongs DO have CABLE TV, so not only local Malay channels, but Hong Kong and Korean Dramas and Singapore serials screen through clearly 24/7. KARAOKE sets are available for use, ranging from Hokkien oldies to English top charts, suitable for people who love to to exercise their vocals. When you're surrounded with sea, why not go for a swim? Boats ferry you to the nearby beach island for an afternoon swim if the weather permits. Of course, the main point of a Kelong is for fishing activists and enthusiasts or just-wanna-have-fun-ist to fish to their hearts delight! Large expanses of deep sea surround you, and the Kelong staff also include a huge square fishing spot for all to fish for sotongs and fishes behind the kitchen while schools of fish fight for food. If you want, fishing boats take you out to specific spots marked by buoys out at sea where sotongs or fishes converge, and increase your chances of scoring more catch! When you have so much fish what are the many ways to cook it? Fish a-la-carte has never ending choices to satisfy the gourmet appetite! Stewed fish, deep fried fish, sashimi, steamed fish, fish soup, grilled fish, fish and chips and the list goes on. well, any kind of fish are prepared in the kitchen for YOU! Bigeye here also happens to specialize in Tempura prawns, Sotongs deep fried in XO flour to give golden crispy crunchy taste that makes can't stop at one, five, or even ten! For those who have a knack for a BBQ under the stars, well, you may have one upon request! Stock up on the marshmallow if you'd like, for on the Kelong, its like living on a resort at sea.
HOW then can you resist? Kelong BECKONS!!! Come now with Bigeye on a fishy adventure! :)
