Trip to Crab’s Island

I have been in Malaysia for more than 4 years, but honestly I don’t travel a lot and only to nearer places. Well, last month after my 5th semester ended, I had 2 weeks holiday. My owner of the house invite me and friends to go to Pulau Ketam (Crab’s Island), which is not that far from my area.

We travelled to Pelabuhan Klang, in which from there we used a boat to go to that island. We used a boat with aircond but the normal one was also available. The ticket was quite cheap for adult, which was Rm7/person and the normal boat was cheaper than this. It took around 30 minutes to get to the island.

When we got there, I was a bit amazed of how the houses were all supported by woods, in which then they make a cement on top to make a road and houses are built on top. There were lots of bicycle in which we could rent to travel around and that’s the main transport use in that island, no cars and I only saw one motor cylcle, but it was verrryy simple one, it’s like bicycle and they added like a machine to it to make it go faster. Well, the place has fresh air and the people there have simple living.The island also have shops, but no malls, only like groceries, houses, restaurants, shops for souvenirs, and those are mostly it. As we go around, we reached road end, we turned around and walked for 5 minutes and reached another end hehe.. the island was surely small. Mostly the foods they sell that I saw are seafoods, lots of big fishes, shrimps, CRABS, etc. The day was quite hot that day, made me drank 2 bottles of water. After walking around, we stopped in a restaurant and ate like a scramble egg but they added something in it (I don’t know what it was called). It tastes better when it was still hot, and basically that was the only thing I can eat made in that island as the people living there are mostly chinese and I don’t think the food was halal. So, better to fill your stomach first before coming here for muslims or bring something along.We went back after we left the retaurant. Overall, the trip was interesting!
