Pulau Ketam














Last weekend, we went on a trip to Pulau Ketam. Took the KTM from Serdang to KL Sentral then KL sentral-Port Klang.


It is only a short walking distance from the KTM station to the port.Say 5 minutes?....The ferry ticket cost RM7 per way. Damn expensive. We were expecting Langkawi type of ferry....but....



Seriously the photo looks better than the interior. The ferry stinks...It took us abt 40 minutes to reach the island. A ferry attendant (normally an aunty) will be there ...NOT to serve you, but to collect your money. You only pay when you are inside

Upon arriving....this is Pulau Ketam. It is a small, undeveloped fishing island@ market island. We walked into the small town and several seafood restaurants. We picked the restaurant with most locals dining in. There is another seafood restaurant opposite but it is filled with ang mohs, we do not want to be 'sucked dried' and hang like those 'kiam hu' selling...haha......so we choose this...


Crab is the MUST HAVE!! RM28 per kilo..not very cheap, but its okay. we ordered 4 crabs. 2 for dried chilli crab and another 2 for salted egg. RM 10 fried oyster (oo chien). RM16 for deep fried squid and RM 16 for 'kung bao' mantis shrimp and RM10 fried oyster.

After the meal, we walked around the island. No cars or bike found in the island, mean of transport?? *cling cling* that is the sound u will hear behind you if you are on its way. Yes!! Bicycle. If you are thinking that the island is pollution free...best for the weekend getaway?? NO!! There is something in the island that is more than just pollution.


Look at these rubbish. It is found between houses. I even saw banner warning people " You are now in the aedes breeding area". People, if you happen to be there, kill any mosquitoes that you see.


what else is interesting on this island? A mini tortoise pond and a few temples...nothing else....
They are selling those keropok ikan, keropok udang, satay ikan,etc...cheap here...RM10 for 6 packets....
