Haha I missed this thread....The jetty is located at N2 59.911 E101 23.500 or opposite the last KTM Commuter station.

If u are using malsingmaps search for passenger Cruise Terminal or "Jetty to P Ketam"

My last trip is last year... seafood so-so only and there is no single Steamboat in P Ketam..Dunno how those Steamboat restaurants in KL get their name from  hmm.gif

& to the question of Pulau Ketam...I do believe the name from the red Crab which can be found only there..do try this red crab..RM28/kg...big one I missed this red crab bcos not sure of the pricing...

what about the environment? food pricey? what is a 'must have' there? any recommended restaurant?

Don't expect much there-lah. Go there to snap photos & visiting the unique chinese stilt houses...This community + the one in Sg Lima (Another big settlement in Northern tip of Pulau Ketam, is probably the largest stilt communities in Malaysia.

The leaving condition is much better than my 1st visit way back in early 1990. So is abit cleaner....but still u can expect to see dirty & muddy environment + the smell of stinky fish/mud & etc from below those houses...Lotsa wooden walkways had been replaced wth concreate ...And another suprisingly new law banning all motorised tranportation on the island except boats/ferries..meaning no motorbike on the island..only bicycles! Food so-so only and not really cheap....The P Ketam famous crab...is selling at RM28/kg which I think should be reasonable after seing the size of the thing..but 1 smaller crab itself probably already ~600-700g

Not so sure which one recommended but go for those crowded one-lah..The one facing jetty abit quiet & less ppl compare to those inner at Jln 1 (After the police station & Hospital) - I hv tried Kia Hon Haun - so-so only -It's in malsingmaps...but subsequently more malsingmaps members visited the islands and came back wth more recommended restaurant & roads..U can check those recommended on in malsingmaps - I think the only GPS maps wth P Ketam roads in M'sia right now....Do contribute new roads when you are there... biggrin.gif  rclxms.gif ..If possible do visit Sg Lima (Local called it "Gour Kan"...sg Lima-lah in Hokkien.. biggrin.gif Seems like no tourist visited that settlement yet.... sad.gif

hmm, i'll be off to klang around 3pm, reaching there around 4pm and take boat to there..
i wonder when is the last boat/ferry for return?
i dont think got time to visit sg. lima ler.. kinda pack the time haha

reaching there around 5pm, waste no time and straight to the 1st restaurant named Kuai Lok Hian

eating in that place definitely the most happy thing of the day.. the food are fresh and nice..
took some picture to share with you all

Fish ball soup drool.gif
not bad the fishball but soup kinda salty coz they put in salted vege sweat.gif

Hot plate prawn drool.gif
Most delicious dish we had thumbup.gif

Kam heong meat crab drool.gif
we were so rushing that we doesnt have time to eat the crab.. instead, we tapao..
back home, the crab meat is juz so-so.. kinda hard meat and hard shell sweat.gif
my mom told me crab are best consume once it is served wor whistling.gif

after the meal, we jalan jalan along the jetty to get some local snacks like sotong cracker, sotong stripe, satay ikan and udang etc..
price is relatively cheap as well, 3 items @ RM10 free 2 packs of satay jelly fish icon_rolleyes.gif

Aiyah..u probably miss the part venturing deep into the living quarters of P Ketam... biggrin.gif That's more interesting rather than the so-so seafood  biggrin.gif
*
hmm, my friend said will make another plan to explore inside 1 day trip via the rental bicycle lol
lets see how the plan go smile.gif
anyway, for my standard, the seafood quality is very good.. maybe because im not avid seafood eater in the 1st place so im not sure how it fare compare with other shop

hmm so the seafood's not bad eh hmm.gif

feel like going liao.. good experience you have there
*
personally i feel the food is fresh and yummy.. rm140 for 7 person include rice and tea is reasonable with a truly seafood meal.. no chicken, no meat

bro pulau ketam was shielded from the monsoon rage. east coast kena, west cost maybe slightly affected only but basically is all year round ferry

kakakak sorry, geography is not my fav subject at school! understood that pulau ketam is not affected by monsoon, but the rainy seasons throughout Peninsuar, thought it would affect the ferry services. Glad to know that it doesnt
*
no lah those rain wont affect ferry service but it may affect your journey there since most of the p.ketam is not sheltered unless u go restoran
