- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- One of our favorite day trips from KL! A floating, fishing village for specializing in seafood and a unique culture. If you are visiting Malaysia, this place is a must see.
We took the KTM to Port Klang, hopped on a ferry and were in Pulau Ketam from KL in under 2.5 hours. We saw temples, talked with locals, ate amazing crab, and did it all for a fair price and without a car.
Thanks for watching!

JetlagWarriors is a Canadian couple - Steve and Ivana. After travelling here and there for a few years, mostly during Canadian winter, we fully caught the travel bug and decided to travel INDEFINITELY! Subscribe to keep up with our journey. We will be budget travelling- hostels and air BnB's and street food and the whole bit. Thanks!

"Bump into Veggies on Tour..." I suggest when the time comes, you people may consider reunion meal with foreign tour vloggers here. Believe me, many fans would get very excited.
did they show them meeting in this video?
i dont understand ur pronouns for ''berikutnya'' at the first time u said it, when u mention About Ktm station, i know what u mean... i thought u said very good nya.
LOL! Somehow I messed up the pronunciation after having an hour and a half to practice it. Duh
@@JetLagWarriors same thought - but well done though! 'ikut' means follow and when you add 'ber' and 'nya' it means following. So you're right in saying its the next station
Stesen " berikutnya" adalah....
I love the way you say " Berikutnya " 😁
lol! Still learning! Thanks for watching
Yes ur right.. he say it like a robot.. without fully charge.. hihi
Still can't believe we bump into each other, same day, same train, same time! The island looked so cool - it's definitely worth going to (if you don't get stopped at the jetty lol). We're glad we managed to see it on video at least and you ate the crab Steve haha
lol! Too bad you couldn't make it, but still bumping into you at all was pretty incredible timing. I surprised/impressed myself when I legitimately enjoyed the crab lol. Thanks for commenting and hey, happy 5K subs!! Good work
Looks like a nice day trip, guys! Big change of pace from KL
Huge change of pace! We enjoyed our little excursion to Pulau Ketam. Would recommend. Thanks for Christina (our cooking teacher!) for recommending it to us
Hi Steve & Ivana, the next time when you eat crab, do ask the staff for a plier or small hammer to crack/ knock the shell.This is how we eat crab in Msia. Our teeth are so precious, so don't bite with your teeth. Cheers 💞
@@JetLagWarriors hi Steve n Ivana, you'll need to ask for a plier the next time when you eat crab. Enjoy!
Lilian Pua ahhhh wish we had known!!!!
Those crabs look flavor packed and delicious!
I can buy shelled freshly frozen crab claws for RM15/kg and live mud crab for RM20/kg here in Papar, Sabah. Fellow Malaysian in Peninsular Malaysia will be very jealous of me right now.
wow so cheap!!
Papar, Semporna & Tawau is a seafood haven in Sabah
I am not jealous, definitely NOT JEALOUS!😤😤😤
Just waiting for my holiday to be approve for August...😑😑😑
Waiting...😢😢😢
Waiting...😭😭😭
At my village@my hometown kota belud Sabah, fisherman sell crab rm10 for 5pcs no weighing.. 5pcs for rm10..🤭🤭🤭
@@mssaki1344 wow... kalau besar2 lagi, punya murah tu!
The restaurants usually provide either a nut cracker or a small hammer to crack the shells
Do Not bite in the shell.
Keep ur teeth.
you two are amazing people
Im so glad you two have documented your time in malaysia
We are glad to be here! Thanks for watching
80 MYR for that crab plate? Hmm..they really do like the number 8 tho..everything must be price 8, 88,888,8888,888888 so ong ma.
OMG, the rubbish. A big letdown.....
Yeah, the rubbish is a bit off-putting. But we wanted to be honest with our vlogs like we always do. We still really enjoyed Pulau Ketam, and would definitely recommend it. Thanks for watching!
JetLag Warriors once you enter port klang its like wasteland to be honest...
Flying Fox plastic should be banned
@@JetLagWarriors in the selangor state n some state in is no plactick bag..if you need plastick bag you must pay 20 cent fot it..
Thats so malaysia !
You would expect to see crabs 🦀 on Crab Island 😀😀
Yup floating villages normally r filled with garbage. That s y pulau ketam will never be on my bucket list.
such a shame...plastic from the ocean end up here...still interesting to see for us foreigners. It’s very different than KL or Canadian town
Wow. I stayed in Klang for 10 years and never been to Pulau Ketam.
Nicely done guys
Interesting
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it
Oh my gosh. I am malaysian. I never imagine there are still places full of garbage like that still exist.
Government implemented not to throw rubbish out of car windows or anywhere on the street ages ago.
Gov. could make tons of money by imposing fines on them for throwing rubbish everywhere.
It is an embarressment to malaysia.
I would like to say sorry on behalf ...
The rubbish are not entirely from the locals, i think many of them are actually float from the ocean to here
I think Lim might be right. Ivana and I were both thinking -- man, if this place were perfectly clean, it would be like paradise on earth! Surprised nobody cleans it up. Then we realized, the garbage might just be coming from the ocean. Maybe if someone were to clean it, it would all come right back anyway. Not sure. Anyway, we had a good time at Pulau Ketam, and thanks for watching!
@@JetLagWarriors You are right . All those rubbish aren't from those villagers . They came from the sea when there's a rise in sea level .Those villagers usually clean those rubbish but it always came back again and again . They need to find ways and means to overcome the problem.
Eeeee... Kotoqnyer...
Pulau ketam dirty... Not clean.. Maybe people live there lazy lazy like hell
Pulau Ketam (Crab Island) is not a proper island per say. It is essentially a vast array of houses and other buildings, connected by walkways, all on stilts on top of a huge swamp . The best vlog and description of Pulau Ketam probably was made by Doughlas of "The Cycling Canadian" channel. Here is the link;
th-cam.com/video/LudattejfJg/w-d-xo.html
cleanliness is something related to attitude and knowledge.
thank you to the government, for ensuring that education is affordable for all Malaysians. means all Malaysians are knowledgeable citizens. It is difficult to find illiterate Malaysians!
Just a little change needs to be improved, which is attitude! You can see, selfishness results in the destruction of nature. Some of them don't care about the rubbish dirty surroundings, the important thing is their house has no rubbish and clean. usually, this type of people will condemn others for excuses, like saying it's their neighbor's garbage or it's the government's job to clean it up! good attitude starts from ourself. let's sincerely do something good, do it for the name of your GOD what your believe. later on, good things or results will back to you. Please do not racist and cauvinist by condemned a community, races, religion or something like that. Because, basically we are same species "HUMAN". A special greatest species created by ALMIGHTY GOD than other species.
Yeah the plastic rubbish wash in from the sea.
Sad that Veggies On Tour couldn't go to Pulau Ketam.
Nice short travels. 🤠👍
Finally you met VeggiesOnTour. Maybe next you guys could do some collaborations.
Stay safe & happy traveling. 😃
Oh God the rubbish.. Speachless.
Hi there,
Seafood restaurant plenty in Malaysia. Cheaper will be in Sarawak n Sabah. Try it fully when both of u still in Malaysia. Take care n cheerful always.
sarawak, kuching, go top foodcourt at the rooftop of a building call taman kereta
They should go to Kpg Buntal, Damai Kuching Sarawak and can enjoy seafood there in restaurants near the beach.
@@natrahmohammad938 ooh 20 yrs ago the tour guide didn't bring me there, i only went to a restaurant under a bridge (i forgot the bridge's name n also the restaurant's best tomyam and nive food (eas brought there by a friend of my father's who was working there)
11th... Berikutnya means next
.Pulau Ketam? I've never been there...ooh nice place 👍
Had to mention berikutnya! Must've heard it 15 times on the way to port klang
If you break the crab shell with the sambal on it, the sambal can fly to your shirt or eyes.
Advisable to suck the sambal cleanly from the shell before breaking it apart.
Looks like a unique place with nice colourful buildings. Sad to see all the garbage. The crab looks delicious.
At first I hear Kedekutnya, then I realized you said berikutnya when you put stesen before it. XD
I have nothing to say only another great video 👌👏😘 love from 🇮🇪💚☘️❤️
Thank you so much for watching as always😀
@@JetLagWarriors 👍😘
"Berikutnya" would most accurately translate as "Following". Well "Next" is practically same meaning tho. :p
Thanks for this! What would word of the day be, without a proper definition. Ok. Now I know. Thanks lol
@@JetLagWarriors from base word "berikut"
"Seterusnya" would most accurate for "next"
THANKS GUY for a good entertainment.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed
food to try black pepper/ dried chillies razor clams , siput sedut masak lemak, rendang/sambal/bbq cockles...
Food in Pulau Ketam also pricey!!!!!! Mahal sgt
Ivana is a seasoned pro crab eater! She really looks the part.
Steve on the other hand... well, everybody has to start somewhere 😂
lol! This is 100% accurate
@@JetLagWarriors a crab is not an insect. Try Google/Petal search....
Becareful of those electric bike around you. They will zoom pass u from behind without you realizing it. They r so silent
This is so true!! Sometimes we would hear something honk behind us and we were like, 'what? someone is behind us?' lol!
@@JetLagWarriors Yup...once i overnight a day at there, their whole town went super quite by 9pm.
When I was younger, illegal Indonesian immigrants would say that they were from Pulau Ketam if they were caught and apparently because it couldn't be verified, the police would just let them go. Don't know if that's still the case now. Also, you can use the crab's own pincers to pull out its flesh. It's like using your hated enemy's own hands as a bludgeoning weapon to beat him down.
Wow! Great comment. Two pieces of interesting information. And LOL about the last part. Thanks for sharing
Normally seafood restaurant will provide you the pincer.
Yeah..interesting place..I can know about surrounding outside from KL.. Your video is so much infomative
So nice of you! Glad you like it. It is definitely an interesting place.
I am born and raised in Klang and was super excited when I saw your video of you both visiting Pulau Ketam. It's a fishing village with deep historical roots from way back. Popular for its seafood and friendly islanders. Most of the chinese villagers/islanders there are from the Hai-Lam descendant clan but sadly the younger generations have all but mostly moved out to Klang and/or nearby cities for education or job opportunities. Pulau Ketam is still a gem for Klang. 👍🏼
Right! Ivana noticed there weren't younger people around, other than kids who were still being raised. It's a bit of a shame, because Pulau Ketam is such an interesting and cultural place. Although, it's hard to criticize someone for choosing to live in a place where they can earn more money, support their family, etc. Overall, we really enjoyed our time in Pulau Ketam. Definitely recommend visiting!
You guys should try bak kut teh in Klang which it is famous for and originates.
@@johnnycage558 100% agree with you! ✌🏻
But they said you cant eat seafood 😂
I am evolving!!!!
Envy of both of you traveling around . Tranquilly n Relax..
Thanks for showing Crab Island, have not been there. Interesting village (except the trash)
💞😍🇲🇾🎶🎵
Thanks for watching! It's a place worth checking out. The trash is a little off putting but it's all part of it! The locals don't seem to mind. We enjoyed our time there, and would recommend
I don't think anyone's ever said so many good things about Pulau Ketam as u guys XD. Normally Klang people aren't too fond of the place...
It’s a nice place! A bit of a litter issue, but thats’s hard to avoid, being right on the water. We had fun there 😀
please , come to Penang!
We have been to penang!! Check our videos on it. Here's our first impressions:
th-cam.com/video/OvpVu6jpRCA/w-d-xo.html
Visit BBQ Lamb KL Kemensah guys ! dining in the river !
This sounds interesting. Will look into it!
This mat saleh face is so poyo.
Not sure what that means but I think it is something nice 😎
Glad you guys went to visit Pulau Ketam! I (Sue) came here when I was still back in school for a class trip! Pulau Ketam is definitely underrated. Awh man those crabs!! 😍😍😍
Ivana will be in seafood heaven if she come to Sabah. The prices over here, especially in smaller town are unbelievable.
One tip of having cheaper seafood dishes is to buy the fresh seafood yourself and bring them to a restaurant or a food stall to be cooked.
Stay tuned for our Sabah adventure! We are waiting for things to go 'back to normal' (new normal?), and then will be flying over.
Yeah Sabah is a hidden gem.
Semporna
yep u true , berikutnya mean next
I love it. I'm first
Please come to Kedah. There are many types of food and beautiful scenery.
yes, take the ets to alor setar, go to keriang hill (there's a forest reserve with a waterfall near there n the paddy/rice museum), if at the city centre there is a few old buildings such as balairong seri (where the sultan was crowned)
Too much Garbage under your house cannot imagine!!! Sad thing
The garbage really ruins the image of our country. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
try go to Tuba island, nearby Langkawi next time. it is also quiet island and very few visitor there including local
Sting ray bakar also good
Omg SO many crabs on that beach!! I think I would freak out!
Ask for nut cracker to break the shell
I live beside the stop 10 minutes before you reach the end.
Please come to pahang
This is not johor bro. I thought you said you were headed to johor. Hahaha. This is nearby KL buddy. Good place for seafood.
Oh, this was not the trip from that day! When I texted you we were at Port Dickson, but it was raining, so we kept driving around the kampungs nearby and had a road trip.
Haha ... you can ask for the tools to help to crash open the shell... is easier to acces the meat ... u guys so funny 😂 and enjoy to see you guys enjoy it the meal! I love crab too...
We tried our best! Ivana was pretty good at it, as for me... well, I tried my best is the best I can say lol
Next station
Stesyen berikutnya
lol! I must've heard beritkutnya 20 times before we got off at Port Klang. Had to mention it
Stesen. no 'y'
exact translation the following station...
Welcome to Port Klang ...... my hometown.
ooo! You're lucky. What an interesting place
Now it's a dead town
There's a mirror beach near sekinchan..
Pulau Ketam reminds me of the outlying fishing villages of Hong Kong, quiet relaxed enclaves that are in contrast to the hustle & bustle of the noisy, crowded metro cities, and yes, the aesthetics are spoiled by the stink and sight of garbage in the water and on land. Wish this weren't so.
Yeah, the garbage is a bit off putting. But that's just the way it is.We still saw the beauty in it. We really ought to stop using so much plastic...
Second
Omg this video literally reminds me of eating in the same restaurant when I was a kid. I am getting lobster from Sobeys after this, gonna make my own version of NB bootlegged Malaysian style lobster.
haha enjoy!! are you malaysian canadian?
@@JetLagWarriors im from Klang, Malaysia, currently I'm working in Shippagan NB. Actually my dad is from Pulau Ketam
Your guys got thinking live in Malaysia???
We are a traveling couple! Will be traveling for at least a few more years. After that, who knows??!
Another destinations...
Fireflies park...Kg Kuantan at Kuala Selangor
Secret island,blue tear depart Kuala Selangor jetty
For paddy field and kampong scenery go to Sekincan.
Yesss Sky mirror Kuala Selangor..would love to experience it one day
Its not a bug... hahaha.. its a type of shell fish guyzz... I laugh hard when i heard u guyz mention gigantic bug n spider.......🤣🤣
lolol! It's a crustacean, but it LOOKS like a big spider 🕸🕸
Huh....RM80?& u guys having so much difficult to enjoy the food cost RM80....if for me RM80 I RATHER use the money to enjoy others food worth much more.....Pulau Ketam food FYI are very expensive....may cost up to RM1000++ per sitting
those houses on stilts like Penang are technicallu illegal but are tolerated due to influcnece by chinese triads/associations and malaysian chinese politicians....but thee dont get municipilatiy services its a reason pulau ketam is a rubbish disaster..they have occasional large cleanup by NGOs but of course the rubbish accumulates later.
Interestingly its the same situation as Batu Caves .the tempke is illegal and dont get City Hall services like garbage collection but is tolerated due to political pragmatism
to clarify all natural caves belong to the state and federal govt ...so any structure in them are illegal. But indian and chinese migrants in early 20th century built settlements and temple inside them...so its a sensitive issue to just demolish them so they are are just allowed like Batu Caves and the Buddhist temple caves in Ipoh.. same with the settlements above water like P.Ketam and Penang kongsi villages...they are illegal but are grey areas(you can live in them but dont get govt services) and may survive for long if they become a large enough community that can get help get a triad/political patron that gives them bargaining power against the authorities. These settlements are now rare as the migrants are naturalized. P. Ketam and the Penang kongsi are the few that survived..some say they are transit points for drug trade by the South East Asian Chinese triads in Myanmar, Malaysia and Singapore. P.Ketam and Penang kongsi are near the biggest ports in Malaysia so it makes sense .
In Sabah these floating illegal settlements are common and home to a large population of stateless Indonesian/Filipino in Sabah who cant live on land legally. Occasionally they get into conflict with local Malaysian and authorities and youd hear occasional news of these floating villages torched to evict them futher away from lMalaysian towns as these settelements are considered ghettos for criminals. Due to Sabah bordering poor regions of Indonesia and conflict prone South Phillioine, this wont be going away for a long time
@@hijazzains Most useful and sensible comments I've read all day.
Take a trip to a Pangkor Island
Crabbage Island..the residents are lacking of civic conscious..so please ..exhibit yourself as true Malaysians.. get the island free of garbage..live in healthy environment..
My Brother Jetlag warrior........ The more u explore in peninsular Malaysia the more you will get an interesting about culture, heritage and tropical jungle eco system especially the lovely scene water fall in deep jungle in Johor state brother Jetlag warrior... I know that Eva and you will love an advanture...
btang pnjang
I wish the gov or local authorities should take action on cleaning the banks, or maybe do a weekly cleanup programme set by the community.
The smell wasn't so bad. It sort of comes and goes.. all good. I wonder if it is possible to clean the garbage, or if the ocean brings it back? I was thinking the same as you... if Pulau ketam were perfectly clean it would be like paradise! But maybe the ocean is too dirty and it can't be done. Not sure
If you guys ever visit Sabah we have this softshell crab which is deepfried but the best thing is you can eat it with the shell haha dont need to dig into the meat. Honestly I myself as a local love eating crab but having to dig for the meat is tiresome and took me years to master it and I still require some form of tool like a toothpick to be able to really get all the meat out.
too cool when u said... berikutnya..!!😂.. good job dude.. btw.. nice video.. 👍👍
Glad you liked it!
that is a bit steep isnt it for the price of a crab meal hope its not crap...lol......is that normal or covid 19 price....?
Not sure. It definitely isn't cheap, but it's fresh crab, and we were on crab island after all! We were ok with it
In Malay : Station berikut-nya, Seri Setia etc.... It means, next station, Seri Setia or etc...etc... Good try, Steve and Ivana,👍😄
Yummy 😋😋😋😋📷👏👏👍👍💪💪🎬
Thank you so much 👍
Next can try Pulau Kukup. But you guys need to stay overnight there to get the "feel"...alot homestay available at Pulau Kukup. I guess the crab that you order is called "Kung Pau"..perhaps next time can try Salted egg version or sweet and sour.
I really like the honest of ur video. U see garbage n u still post it. Some people need to fake they didn't see it. Lol
Just being honest! We try to do that in all of our videos
You got the Kam Heong flavored crabs... not chili crabs
Those are mangrove crabs, its different than the sea crabs and it is more expensive. Its highly demand to cure dengue fever. Normaly in East Cost of Malaysia they are sold around rm40 perkg and its famous for maggi ketam or crab in maggi the instant noodle.
Interesting stuff! Thanks for sharing
I dont think VegiesOnTour will come to Crab Island as they are still searching for Banana Island which is too far south near Singapore's border & not accesible by metro.
Oh, maybe you're right. They said they might come later on, but unfortunately we couldn't hook up with them. Next time!
Hahaaaa Banana Island whaaaa!?!?!
🤣
First 😀😘
6:36 It was a buddhist temple, not taoist. Also it was Chinese checkers, not chess.
Quite a fair bit of seafood found in the Klang valley comes from this island. We have to thank the fishermen there for the supply.
The crabs look yummmy 😋
Nice excursion! 👍👍
Was busting my gut when you said berikutnya. Also the feminine way of you saying it.
LOL! That's how it sounds on the train. I was trying hard to remember it and say it perfectly, and I still messed it up the first time. Duh
@@JetLagWarriors it's a foreign language for you so it's fine... I think it's has only been a week or so after mco was lifted but you guys are cruising through KL so much. Hahaha
"Station berikutnya..." means next station, just in a slower pace.
Thanks for highlighting the garbage too! Malaysia is not all beautiful. And I think Malaysians are mature enough to see that it's not good to have garbage laying around.
The worker must give you hammer or sone tool to eat the crab,next time ask for it,can easier for you take the crab meat out
Nice place to travel Pulau Ketam 👍👍
Hey, I am quite curious about what language Chinese people use first when they see Ivana?
Something neither of us could understand lol! They mistook her for a local quite often
haha, I knew it.
Omg steven have the same thought as me, i do think crab and prawn are like sea bug/insects, im not a fan of crab and prawn bcoz of those tiny legs 😆
lol! When you see a crab walking along, it doesn't look appetizing, lol. But in the end, it tastes good 😎
A crab is a crustacean. The same group as lobsters and crayfish.
Hahaha..u guys always make me laugh so hard watching your video..."Stesen berikutnya, next station" hahaha hilarrious...
Glad you enjoyed it!! I had 1.5 hours on the KTM to try and think of something interesting to say, lol. Thanks for watching
haha the color scheme probably so that from main land can see... haha
Berikutnya hahaha
Make a special video where you are going out with veggies on tour
