On 5th of October which was a sunny Saturday, we went to Pulau Ketam for assignment purpose! Because we were tourism students, so we had to evaluate a destination's life cycle!
After searching so long for where to go, finally we decided to go to Pulau Ketam because it was the nearest destination!
It was easily accessible from public transport =)
1. From KL Sentral, took KTM to Port Klang for RM4.30 one way.
Since we missed the train at KL sentral, so we decided to have breakfast at Subway first
The exploring mates for this trip! The only guy with us and He was new to Malaysia! =D
We took around 1 hour plus to reach the jetty in Port Klang. Kinda fast compared to the information we searched through online.
Finally we reached Port Klang! My gals also joined this trip because I appointed Hee hee to be our photographer for the trip! All the photos credited to her.

My assignment group mates! First outing with Andrew who was from Korea!
Annyeong ha sae yo =) The rest I no need to introduce because they were my annoying roommate and housemate =p
The schedule of the boat time and we bought the air con speedboat that cost RM7 per way
With the ticket seller!
Pulau Ketam was a small island with around 8000 villagers on the island and most of them were fishermen. Most of residents there are Chinese.
Exciting because we gonna explored the island soon!
Our speedboat to reach the island
Not really big but quite cooling. Took approximately 45 minutes to reach the island.
Finally we reached the island! It was so dry and got so MANY crabs crawling on the muddy place! No wonder it was named Pulau Ketam.
Pulau Ketam, we were here! =)
FYI, no car in the island and most of the villagers ride bicycle and electronic scooter!
Cool right?! a peaceful island
Tourist can rent a bicycle for RM5 per day
The annoying gals for 7 years and still counting!
Then, we explored the village by ourself because there was nothing much to do on the island.
So took photo was the only entertainment
Really a peaceful village where all the houses above the water. There was B&B and homestay for people who want to spend a night there
Tried this fried ice-cream from the uncle! Quite nice though
RM2.50 each with different flavours
It was Andrew's first fried ice cream that day and he liked it
The only temple on the island and also one of the attraction
The only travel agency on the island and there was little rain that time
The alley in the village with a very village feel~ I kept persuade Andrew to do the same posting with us HAHAHA
After exploring for awhile, we went to have lunch because one of the must-do things at there is eating seafood!
Crabby crabby in the pail
There is quite a lot of restaurant so we just try our luck and went to a restaurant with much people because we did survey through blog that some tourist said that they got ripped off
Andrew didn't know we were taking photo so I'm sorry! =)
The weather there was HOT too! After struggling hard on what we wanted to eat, finally we made our decision.
Ordered 4 dishes which were salted prawn, salted egg crab, claypot tofu and vegetables.
The Lala jien was from another stall and it cost RM10
Surprisingly, the portion was quite BIG for 6 of us and the prawn was all big in size!
We were worry that time because we donno how much this meal will cost because we ask the person to cook all in small size.
So, how much do u guess ?
A group photo of us where we had our lunch.
Overall cost RM138 included rice and drinks!
Still reasonable I think =)
After lunch, we explored the village again since we had to do assignment =.=
Beautiful place which let you feel calm although there are lotsa rubbish in the island
Most of the villagers there were Buddhist because they pray for sea God
A selca pic of mine! =D
The cement bridge and the villager told us that last time everything used to be wood and because the needs of tourism, they build the road in cement so that tourist will feel safe.
Amelia went back earlier because she have to backed before night time
The ice stick which cost RM2.50 each and you can bring the thing back home and made your own ice stick! HEHE
Childhood memories!
During evening, the water level started to rise
The first pic is we took it on afternoon and the second pic is before we left the island.
A selca picture of us to end the day in Pulau Ketam
We did take 2 videos which I liked it very much! Enjoyed the scenery with great companions! =)
Love this video app so much because we can forever keeping the memorable moments! =)
I knew we were so silly! HAHAHA!
Till then and hope you enjoy reading =)
