Pulau Ketam Trip Part One

August 8, 2008

Pulau Ketam is a small island located off the coast of Port Klang and is accessible by ferry from Port Klang. Literally translated, Pulau Ketam means Crab Island. I was there for a one day trip after hearing some good things about the seafood on the island. Actually, driving to Port Klang was a huge mistake, it was a long journey. And we got lost on the way too. It’s more convenient to use the KTM, as the jetty to Pulau Ketam is just next to the Port Klang KTM station.
First thing we did reaching Pulau Ketam was of course to find some seafood to eat!

kuai lok hian

We chose Kuai Lok Hian because the other restaurants were too full. Tourists especially families and fishing groups were coming in droves that day, making full use of the public holiday.

fried calamari

We wanted to order crab since we were in “Crab Island”. Come to Crab Island of course must eat crabs, right? But, the price was just too expensive - RM40 per kg. Even crabs in KL don’t cost that much! So, we had to opt for other seafood like this Fried Calamari @ RM8. Nice and crispy, very well worth the price paid.

kam heong mantis prawn

Second dish, Kam Heong Mantis Prawns @ RM12. I was really surprised at the cheap price. And you can see that the mantis prawns are quite big and meaty. Not only it’s cheap, it tasted great too!

Butterfly Park, Orchid & Hibiscus Farm @ Kuala Lumpur

July 27, 2008

Was at KL Orchid and Hisbiscus Farm and Butterfly Park few weeks ago. Finally managed to select a few good ones out of the many crappy ones to show, lol. Compared to Penang’s Butterfly Farm, KL’s is not so enjoyable because the number of butterflies in the latter is very much lesser. For the nicer and more colorful ones, I had to stalk them!

lotus

Starting off with my most favorite photo. A lotus I took beside a small pond in the Orchid and Hibiscus farm. I have even made a wallpaper out of it. If you like it, do save it yeah. And I didn’t put any watermark on the wallpaper so you are free to use it :)

butterfly

Then followed by my favorite photo in the Butterfly Park. The entrance fee is RM15!

A day at Aquaria KLCC, An Ocean of Discovery

July 1, 2008

Went to Aquaria KLCC a few weeks ago to check out if there’s anything new since my last visit three years ago. When I last went, I remembered there were some construction going on. So, I expected to see some new exhibits or visiting areas. The admission fees are RM38 for adults and RM26 for children. Seems expensive eh? But you will be glad to know that there are discounts for locals who present their MyKad. After discounts, it would be RM28 for adults, RM22 for children.

It seems they are using more ways to generate income now.. I don’t remember being required to take a photo with the signboard during my last visit, lol. After that, you will have the choice of purchasing the photos before exiting. They aren’t cheap! Anyway, let’s move on to see some fish!

Citrawarna - Colours of Malaysia 2008 @ Putrajaya

May 25, 2008

Citrawarna - Colours Of Malaysia 2008 was held yesterday 24th May in Dataran Putrajaya. Citrawarna is an annual event showcasing Malaysian arts, traditions and culture via performances, dances and music. The event has always been shown on live telecast but I have never imagined myself catching it live in Putrajaya. Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib and Tourism Minister Datuk Azalina Othman were among the VVIPs present. Mahathir Lokman and Cheryl Samad were the MC for the evening and they were working together great as a team. Armed with a camera and tripod, I hoped to capture some photos of the most colourful event in Malaysia.
