Carey Island Malaysia

Carey Island or Pulau Carey is an island in Selangor, Malaysia. Carey Island is located to the south of Port Klang and north of Banting town. It is a huge island separated from the Selangor coast by the Langat River, connected by a bridge from Chondoi and Teluk Panglima Garang near Banting. It was named after Valentine Carey, a former British civil service officer in Malaya. Despite its name, many locals from Klang do not consider it a real island compared to Pulau Ketam due to its proximity to the mainland and the river that separates it from the mainland is practically a stream. Theres nothing much to do here except if you are visiting on the 28th of February this year where the Mah Meri Asli people would be having the annual prayers and feast. That would be an exciting thing to watch. 

It is famous for its seafood such as crabs, prawns, and various fishes. The island has palm oil plantations owned by Sime Darby Plantations. It is an initial settlement area for the Mah-Meri (pronounced [max mri]), one of the aborigine Orang Asli tribes of Malaysia. They have assimilated into modern life, with jobs in the nearby plantations and farms, but they retain their unique culture and way of life. Apart from exhibitions of their traditional dances and music, the Mah Meri are particularly known for their votive sculptures, fashioned from a kind of swamp hardwood known as "Nyireh Batu".

The seafood there is cheap and nice. If you drop there can try the tasty food ar Restoran Kang Guan

You can order a selection of popular dishes:

1) Oyster Omelette ‘Oh Jien’ – Delicious tasting and it’s a bit different from what we have in PJ or KL. It’s not very oily too which is total opposite from what I had before. For those who loves oyster you might want to stop by here and grab a piece of it.

2) Marmite Crab – It’s finger licking good!

3) Crispy Fried Sotong – Very nice!
4) Vegie – Just some normal vegies…
Overall, it was a good value and tasty meal, at a very interesting location by the river but if you go at night you will not be able to see the nice sea view. Recommended and it’s cheap too.
