Pulau Ketam Half Day Trip

Some few months ago, Ginger went on a half-day trip to "Crab Island" aka Pulau Ketam. If you say crab island, I would relate to seafood, scorching hot weather, bicycles, and no night life. As for the city dwellers like us who are so used to the indoor life, the skin get a burning sensation as the sunlight penetrates through our skin.

Back to where we should be as this is a foodblog, not a personal blog, the first thing we had was ice kacang. Why ice kacang? The reason is simply because of the unbearable weather. The second thing we had after a long ride round the Crab Island in bicycles was fried ice cream. Ginger has always thought that the inventor of fried ice cream is far too brilliant. Who would ever thought that ice cream can be fried eh? A hot crispy outer jacket with a icy cold inner filling? Slurrpp. Simply marvelous.

After a brief survey with the locals, Ginger and friends stop by this hawker stall with a few newspaper cuttings pasted beneath it's signboard. According to this local, there were two fried oyster stall operating along the small and narrow road. Depending on one's preference, one could choose to go for the starchy oyster or the crispy oysters.

Ginger went for the starchy one and we regretted. We had fried oyster and also fried lala. Both the fried oyster and lala was indeed very starchy. They were too starchy for our liking. The taste of the corn starch masks the taste of the oysters and lala. If Ginger has the chance to go there a second try, Ginger would like to have a try on the crispy instead.
