A continuation from previous post(Logos Hope Bookfair here)...
We took a domestic ferry at Jetty Pulau Ketam, South Port to Pulau Ketam(Crab Island, a local fishing village).
After 35 mins of ferry ride, we touched down the island at around 1:20pm.... all were starving to death.
Mama browsed through internet and found this restaurant has a better reputation compared to others in the island...
Pulau Ketam authentic seafood fried bee hoon(RM30)... taste so so so so...
Before on board the ferry, we bought a cup of home made ice cream for the sprouts(RM2).
The interior of the ferry...(Ferry timetable here)
Charges: Adult RM7 per way
Kids(6-12 y0) RM4 per way

After 35 mins of ferry ride, we touched down the island at around 1:20pm.... all were starving to death.
Juan is getting better with handling chop sticks.
Pulau Ketam signature fish balls(RM12)... taste tsk tsk tsk...
Deep fried sotong(RM20), tad too chewy... good for facial exercises(Teasing mode)! Total price: RM 67.00
Personal verdicts: The cook probably experienced mood swing that day...
The Little Sprouts got intrigued by the titbits stall...
The temple...
The fish village...
Some junk food from Pulau Ketam(RM10 for 3 packets).

Hey! The ferry looks like what we called "express boats" - the ones we use to reach to towns upriver and downriver from Sibu. May be made in Sibu, the shipbuilding industry here.

i have not been there for like more than 10 years, and wow, those boats looks so nice now already!! but i guess everything has gone very commercialized now..
October 17, 2011 10:34 PM
Wah, the seafood Pulau Ketam very expensive
October 17, 2011 10:34 PM

We've heard so much about Pulau Ketam but never been there before. Aiya, too bad the food failed to live up to your expectation... but they looked good in your photos :)
October 17, 2011 10:51 PM
Wah, sure go jalan2 a lot that day!
Pity the cook's mood not good that day.
Was the ice cream good? :)
October 17, 2011 11:17 PM

I never been to Pulau Ketam.. I bet it was a new experience for the kids to visit Pulau Ketam, too bad the food fail..

The boat looks scary (not safe) to me. :P Hmm.. I am not sure why some ppl can still sustain while the food they served are so bad. :(.
October 18, 2011 9:33 AM
Aikss...the food is not cheap ehh...I think I can get it rather cheaper at Kuala Selangor. Probably it has became one of the favourite spot for local tourists.
October 18, 2011 10:25 AM

October 18, 2011 10:37 AM
Too bad the food is not up to expectation... But i'm sure the kids enjoy the ride!~

October 18, 2011 10:46 AM
Oh dear...what a bad experience on the lunch.

Pulau Ketam looks like a very interesting place to go. I thought they are famous for their seafood. Too bad you met a moody cook that day :P
October 18, 2011 11:05 AM

October 18, 2011 12:21 PM
I love all the 'fishy-smell' junk food you bought home. I think the price for the seafood is a tad expensive, no?
October 18, 2011 12:48 PM
Look fun! Nice trip!
October 18, 2011 12:55 PM
Very nice foods and cheap price. I yet been Pulau Ketam before.
October 18, 2011 3:34 PM
nice sharing! i think i would want to go there soon too!
October 18, 2011 4:03 PM
Hehe, my aunt just told us over the weekend that we should make a trip to Pulau Ketam one day to go makan-makan. I'll remember not to go to that place :)
October 18, 2011 4:04 PM
I agree with you....P. Ketam's restaurant food's taste is nothing to shout about, just so-so only.
October 18, 2011 4:28 PM
I thought the seafood there supposed to be cheap. Was thinking to go Pulau Pangkor but don't know what to do in an island besides snorkelling and go to the beaches.
October 18, 2011 4:31 PM
haha..after reading your post, I'm not that keen to go Pulau Ketam already. But I love those junk food you bought though.
October 18, 2011 5:41 PM
I have not been to Pulau Ketam. Food not good nevermind but you guys had a good time right?
October 18, 2011 7:48 PM
A nice trip....the foodies look good too. I laughed when you mentioned 'for facial exercises' when chewing the sotong goreng! hahaha

Gosh the boat used have certainly inproved! The "ferry" used to be open-air old tug boats that would take an hour just o get to Pulau Ketam, but i think i would have preffered them coz we could feel the the breeze and have better view of the mangrove swamps passed.
P Ketam seafood has always been expensive. That's why I dare not use it as an excuse to invite people to go for a trip there, takut kena belasah! lolz
Nice outing, nice post Alice! :)

October 19, 2011 5:20 PM
