Pulau Ketam, Here We Come!

I believe many of you have heard about Pulau Ketam, it is a small fishing village island which is 30 mins away from the Port Klang Jetty if you are taking a speed boat there. It's the Raya public holidays again~ and Frag's friend, Joelle came up with a plan that we all should head there for a day's trip!

As everything was confirmed on the following day, things started with 6 of us including Frag's ex-colleagues to gather at the Organiser's place at 9 a.m. in the morning, then head off to SS2 for our breakfast before shooting down to Klang.

As we reached there, there were already a huge crowd waiting / heading to Pulau Ketam, in fact we queued up for an one hour & half just for the arrival of ferry. Crazy! We actually waited for 3 rounds to secure ourself into the ferry. It was extraordinary packed that day.

The ferry that we boarded was moving slow when it reached a certain area of the sea, that was because of the tide out and the sea level was too shallow. By 1p.m. we had reached the island, the first thing we did were to go for LUNCH! We had a nice seafood meal in a restaurant right after the jetty, I wont say it is very cheap judging by the standard over there~! 

We then took our sweet time walking and exploring around the village. There are a few temples in the island and a lot of people especially locals, moving around with their only mode of transportation... bicycles! Saw a loads of nice houses and boats as well. We walked around till it was 4.30p.m. then we headed for the jetty, as we can see the crowd were started to Q up. The last boat to leave the island will be usually around 6.30p.m.



Take a look at the Q on the bridge~ so terrible


Finally we reached the island~


Makan time with the gang~ Yummy seafood!


A big temple in the middle of the island


Salted fish 'sunbathing'~!


Heard that people recommend this "lala Jian" and "O jian" stall is nice, so we gave it a try, but nothing impress me :(


Fresh bamboo shell clams on sale, just back from the sea!


Nice environment + view on the Crab Bridge~!


Muahaha, selfshot - just the 2 of us.


We all love this photo that we took~ It was starting to drizzle


Yeah, went up to a boat and fooled around!


Thanks to the boat owner allow us to take picture on his boat, the whole boat has been booked by a groom whom that time was having a wedding lunch on the island.

Anyways, it was a nice trip, different experience and we had a really good time and fun with the rest despite the sunny weather and the mad queues while waiting for ferry! :)
