Here are some of the photos taken during my last visit to Pulau Ketam"

Joining the locals using the slow -pot-pot chun (he-he slow ferry) ...Slow but more open air view & stopping at more jetties compare wth the speedy aircon ferry (BTW..same price!! )


Here is the spedy ferry & our slow ferry reaching one of many jetties around Pulau Ketam...(Not sure in the photo is Sg Lima or Pulau Ketam settlement )


Approaching to P Ketam, saw one of the only 2 motels in the island:


The main tourist jetty in P Ketam :


View after the jetty towards Jln Satu (The main street), Police station & Hospital on the right..U can see my tourist guide in the photo..my youngest tourist guide!


The main Jln Satu wth restaurants on both side of the bicycle lane:


View from Jln Tiga...:


Maybank wth ATM! (Jln Tiga- can see the signboard on earlier photo) probably the only Stilt Bank in whole Malaysia!:

good job guys, more photos please

i am going to Pulau Ketam this Thursday.. too bad there'd be only 2 of us.. cannot order so much Seafood

wow....but thts all to round only? if compare to malacca, which more interesting?? hehe;P

how can u compare lol
1 is a small island with kampung kampung area around and 1 is historical city with giant theme park

Found this restaurant in P Ketam reviewed by 8TV's Ho Chak:

http://www.foodpoi.com/hochak/hochaks501p1.html

probably can give it a try?

OMG now got maybank already!!!!

The Maybank in P Ketam is not new..It was there during my 1st visit ~1993.... during that time u even can see motorbikes around..now banned due to numerous accidents happening in that settlement...BTW, it's a gigantic stilt settlement...not really a small kampung

i came back from Crab Island already Didn't eat any crabs 1 kilo RM32.. too expensive

I ate other seafood though.. DAMN CHEAP! 4 seafoods only cost RM44!

I had

Lala Chien
Bamboo Clams (big and juicy)
Kung Pao Mantis Prawn
Fried Calamari

Post up the phots later when i got time.. Pulau Ketam not too bad la.. still manage to spend like 2-3 hours there.. many ppl today due to Labor Day

lol, updated only after 3 months

the restaurant i went: Kuai Lok Hian



Bamboo Clams, super huge



You will see La La Chien stalls everywhere! Really

is the ferry stable? i am a very easily dizzy person... do i need to take any med b4 tat? cos i see 30 mins is not a short distance..

thanks

No wave wan unless storm. There are 2 types of ferries - The antique open air type as per the above photo & those aircon type simialr to pangkor & Sibu in Sarawak.

Those aircon type faster but hv to wait. Not sure the schedule. ticket pay once you board the ferry- i.e like the olden day bus ticketing system - conductor will go & collect from you!

Caution for ppl who go Pulau Ketam.. better take the aircond speedboat rather than the fisherman big boat which is cheaper..but the length hour comparison.. duh!! damn so long almost 1 hour to reach Pulau Ketam!!! Last time I kena spoilt my trip onli!!

there is a way for you to press your fingers against your hands to prevent seasickness. also good for people with morning sickness. no pills involved. just your bare hands. all natural.

Used to work there so the pictures gave memories.

If you were a teacher or student there you can get discounted price for the boat fee.. speedboat = RM4.00 woodenboat = RM2.
Enjoyed for 2 years.

Most delicious dish I could remember was the crab served in the Lok Hian Restorant. Spicy sweet sauce with mixture of eggs....sweet crabs with no smell...yumyum.

make me miss the fried lala in pulau ketam
