Currently I am really hooked to Dry Bak Kut Teh. Ever since I tasted it in Yap Chuan, I have been craving it especially when I am really hungry. Thankfully there’s Yap Beng in Equine Park, Seri Kembangan. Yap Beng is a Bak Kut Teh restaurant that serves good Dry Bak Kut Teh, almost equaling the standards of Yap Chuan.
I have eaten here a couple of times and have always left as a happy and satisfied customer. Not only the food’s good, the price is quite reasonable for me too.

What I really like is the Dry Bak Kut Teh’s fragrance and the heavier taste compared to the normal Bak Kut Teh. The dried shredded squid plays the biggest role in this dish providing most of the flavor. They look like small broken noodles in the photo. I just love taking photos of Bak Kut Teh, they always look so damn delicious.

Their Bak Kut Teh is of course not as tasty as those in Klang, but is still quite good compared to others. And I find the herbal taste in the soup is quite strong. Although this serving looks big, it is actually a set meant for a person only @ RM8.

There aren’t many landmarks in Pulau Ketam. So, even the basic facilities like the police station and fire station are considered as local attractions.

I am pretty sure Pulau Ketam is a safe place to have a dedicated police station serving the residents.

Bomba Sukarelawan Pulau Ketam was formed in 1972, located not far from the police station. It was a need by the residents of Pulau Ketam because a few fire incidents happened back in the 60s and 70s. Pulau Ketam’s residents form the team of volunteer fire fighters.

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!

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.

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.

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!

How much does a kg of crab cost in your local seafood restaurants? RM35? RM40? Well, there’s a famous seafood restaurant at Desa Aman Puri, Kepong which draws crowd due to their cheap and tasty crabs. Tak Fok Hong Kong Seafood Restaurant serves their crabs at RM18 per kg, the cheapest I’ve seen and eaten so far. Crabs baked with butter and cheese is something new for me. And I absolutely loved it!
