| Pulau Ketam |
Feeling bored during weekends? No plans for the long weekend? Pulau Ketam would be a good option for a quick getaway. BF and I went to Pulau Ketam or Crab Island during the Hari Raya Festivities. It is located off the coast of Port Klang, in Selangor, Malaysia.

To go there, you can take the KTM train from KL Sentral to Pelabuhan Klang(Port Klang). Fare is around 5-6RM per way. Once you arrive in Port Klang station, simply take the exit and you can easily spot the port which is just across the road.

| Alibaba ferry |
There were a lot of ferry options available but since it was a holiday and there were a lot of people going to the island, we were left no choice but to get tickets from Alibaba shipping. Good thing though because Alibaba ferries are new and air-conditioned. Tickets cost 18rm roundtrip. Ferry ride took us about an hour.

The terminal was very crowded when we went there.
So keep in mind, not to go to Crab Island during Hari Raya(hahaha). |
We arrived there at noon and immediately looked for a place to eat. We were starving already 😁. We first tried this restaurant(I forgot the name) where we ordered Nasi goreng seafood and Char kuey teow. It has a distinct taste from what we usually have in KL. Probably because of the pork fat which was included in our dishes. I love pork, especially fat so I was very satisfied. After having our lunch, we then roamed around Pulau Ketam. What you usually see here are different temples and uniquely structured houses. I was so amazed as to how they were able to build these type of houses in this island. I will just let the pictures do the talking.

We had Lala and crispy squid for our 2nd lunch. Both are delicious.
Food is great but food prices were not relatively cheap. It was okay. A day trip is enough if your visiting this island. What I love most about coming here is the ferry ride especially if you are seated on top of the ferry where you get a nice view of the coastal waters.
