Sloppy Chic

It was a hot day and I had to buy a mini umbrella, it is a funky one, it has no handle, and you just need to wrap it around your head! But, the wind was strong and my umbrella fell into the dry sea. my RM3.50 went down the sea.

Thank god a hero appeared from the dry mud and picked up my umbrella for me! Weee lucky day!

It was about lunch time, so, we were checking out what to eat. This oyster/lala fried egg stall seemed to have really good business. So, we just had to order one to try.

After we ordered, we walked to this Kim Hoe restaurant for seafood lunch. With the morning bak kut teh still in my stomach, we weren’t really starving.

Ta dah! This is the fried oyster (o-chien). Sadly, it was not as good as it looked. The oysters are so tiny and there was too much flour instead of egg n oyster. This is RM8 for the small plate.

This is fried meehoon with crab. The crab was still juicy and the authentic tastes of crab remained. We didn’t finish the meehoon though, it was dry, and not nice.

Kam-hiong crab! At only RM28/kg, it is certainly a lot cheaper than anywhere else. More importantly, it is fresh and juicy!

This is steamed lala with ginger, Rm15. Totally worthed it. Every shell had a meat, not like some here, the meat just went MIA, leaving the shell alone. They were really fresh too! The juice was just yummy and sweet.

The bill came to about RM90 for 4 of us, and there was another steamed fish too. But my hands were already dirty so I could not snap a picture of the fish.

Overall, it was just about a 3 hours trip in Pulau Ketam. It is not really a place for fun, but you can go there and have some seafood and come back happy!

Pulau Ketam (Crab Island) is located not far from Klang, and you can only reach there by boat. So, you need to go to the South Port of Klang, take a boat ride, RM14 for to-fro tickets. You can also pay when you are on boat too!

It is a covered boat, so, it is quite steady, you won’t get water splashes onto your face, and it is quite steady, no sea sick.

This is my first time going to Pulau Ketam. I was worrying about sea-sick, but in fact, there was none at all. They have life jackets on top of both sides of seats. But, all the life jackets are new, untouched. So, I guess it should be pretty safe sitting in the boat. The boat will only take off when the seats are filled.

This is the first view I get after getting down from the boat. If you have been to Kukup in Johor before, this is quite similar to there, or the Kampung Orang Asli in Johor.

Of course, they have market there too, on both sides of the streets, outside their homes. Basically, they only sell the dried seafoods, cheap and fresh. You rarely see vegetables or fruits stall there.

I think they have 2 or more temples like this. There must be also a sea-god overlooking the peace of the sea. Just like the one in Segenting.

In fact, it is quite a dirty place. You can smell the stench as you walk along the houses.

Awww..look at the dump! I guess people just don’t bother cleaning up their garbage since they think that all shall be gone with the water.

There are like 2 dogs on the whole island, this is one of the dogs. And the dog  is trapped just behind a thin net. I guess if it were my dog, it would have torn the net and escaped.

And I had my lunch there of coz! Crab crab crab! Next up will be crab!

Inspired by KY, I visited the place too, on a fine Sunday morning. It is just somewhere after the toll exit from federal highway, nearby the Maybank tower.

Yao-char-guai is a must-have for bak kut teh. It is very depressing if they don’t serve it. I even saw some people bringing their own yao char guai!

Ahh…the ultimate bak kut teh! The soup is really nice, we ordered extra needle mushrooms for this pot. I finished the last bit of juice.

And they serve chicken feet too! RM6 for a big bowl.

A bill came to about RM55 including tea for the 4 of us. The shop was really crowded, but they served pretty fast and the crowd moved quite fast too. So, you can definitely get a seat there.

Ah! Glorious and glorious and fattening breakfast!

Trin: Finally I went here!

Bubba Gump Shrimp is here in the Curve! Finally, weekday is less crowded.

They even have a souvenir shop for the stuff, if you like it, you can buy stuff from there!

This is their table setting. “Run Forrest Run” means that you do not need their services yet, just enjoy the food or flipping the menu.

When you need the staff, simply flip the board to “Stop Forrest Stop”. Then, they will be at your service.

This is Shrimp’s Heaven priced at Rm44.90. Comes with 4 types of shrimps, chips and coleslaw and 3 types of different sauces. This is enough to fit 2 persons if you are not damn big eater.

One of them is coconut shrimp. Nice! But only 3 pieces of them.

This is more like the Japanese tempura.

This tastes like shrimp nuggets, the best of the lot.

Boiled prawns. This is not as tasty as they are just boiled and chilled, well, they aren’t damn fresh.

Finally! This is the ultimate dessert ‘Chocolate Chip Sundae Cookie’ at RM13.90, they baked the XL cookie chip, and topped with ice cream and whipped cream. I really enjoyed this dessert, although it’s crazily sweet. We didn’t manage to finish this though.

The whole dining experience is really pleasant and I would definitely go back there again!
