Boat Hire
You can hire a boat by the market for the 45-minutes up the river to Kuala Balai, a small river village that was once the largest settlement in the district. It's now almost deserted because the residents have left to find work in the oil industry on the coast. The owner of Hotel Sentosa can help arrange transport (about RM100 per boat roundtrip), but the trip is not much more than a simple cruise through the nipah and there isn't much to see (you're basically just paying for the river trip).

Hing Nam Foong
A good little Chinese kopi tiam (coffee shop) with an English menu (remember that 'mee' means noodles and it will all make sense). We really liked the char shui po (steamed buns with pork) here - they're stuffed with more char sui than usual and they go very well with a steaming cup of tea.

Shopping, Jalan Pretty
There are several simple restaurants in the shopping area along Jalan Pretty. To get there from the bus station, walk through the adjoining taxi station (keeping HSBC bank on your left) and you will see it on your right. It's not more than two minutes' walk.

Morning Market
Diagonally opposite and slightly up the street from the Sentosa Hotel, this interesting little market is a good place to eat breakfast. It's divided into halal and nonhalal (ie Chinese) sections.
