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.

1) Oyster Omelette ‘Oh Jien’

2) Marmite Crab with buns

Colmar Tropicale, located in Bukit Tinggi, Pahang, is a replica of a collection of buildings from a north-eastern village in France dating back to the 16th Century. It's just like a picture postcard. The French themed resort was opened in July 2000. It's surrounded by lush tropical forest land, while retaining the authenticity and European atmosphere of its counterpart. Indulge in a truly continental French experience in Colmar Tropicale, alongside beautiful architecture and historically-designed landmarks that will bring you a step back in time.

Colmar Tropicale and Japanese Village is the first and only place in Malaysia where you can see Colmar Village at France and Japanese Village at Japan without having to leave the country.
Both places are developed by Berjaya Hotels & Resorts and located at the Bukit Tinggi, Pahang. They can be reached by following the Karak Highway, then take the exit at Bukit Tinggi (the next exit after Genting Highland).
It Just RM 16 for adults and RM 8 for children below twelve to pay for admissions to Japanese Village and Colmar Tropicale. They also have a golf course and paintball there. But a day trip would be enough to cover everything. On the other hand, newly dating couples would appreciate Berjaya Hills Resort as a half day get away from town and a chance to bond.

At Colmar Tropicale Berjaya Hills Resort they have a bakery, restaurant, wine bar in the town. Rooms are available at the resort meaning you stay in the French themed town itself. The Colmar Tropicale has a host of activities to enjoy. Indulge in cigars at the Le Vin Wine & Cigar Bar or be amazed by the lively street and exotic stage performances from local and foreign artistes. A clock tower at the entrance welcomes the visitors. For those into photography, the Colmar Tropicale has many sights for shutterbugs to make a snapshot; the castle drawbridge being a particular favourite. Watch swans paddling lazily around the moat, relax by the square’s fountain, make a wish at the wishing well, gaze at the cuckoo clock tower (designed after the Riquewihr Tower in France) or climb the tower for a panoramic sight of the entire resort.

After a visit the Colmar Tropicale you can take the tram provided to Japanese Village as the road to Colmar Tropicale is less steep. You can even rent a Kimono at Japanese Village (RM 20 for 30 min). You can also visit the Botanical Garden near to the Japanese Village.Bukit Tinggi Japanese Village consists of beautiful gardens to a waterfall, impressive koi ponds and up to a Japanese Tea House. It was planned and designed by a Japanese architect, Mr Kaio Ariizumi and built by a team of 22 skilled craftsmen from Japan. We found there’s full of spirit of Japanese at the moments. It is worth to visit especially photography purpose or relax; a lot of nature plants & live that you can find at Japanese Village.

The rabbit farm is not included in the entrance fee to ColmarTropicale. However it only set us back RM3 per person to get in, which to be honest was great value for money. Again with the food provided the boys really had fun feeding the already well-fed rabbits. They were pretty tame, which made the boys even The rabbit farm is lacated at half way to Colmar Tropicale & Japanese Village, is not more curious. They can’t stop petting their backs. The area where children can interact with the rabbits was actually pretty small, and they had to climb up a small fence to get in. The fence was to avoid the rabbit from jumping out of the compound. They were pretty strict though on the matter of handling.We were not allowed to lift the whole rabbit up. Patting was OK.
If you are expecting a casino or slots machines at Bukit Tinggi, take note that there is none. There use to be but no longer. Now the place serves as a plain highland resort unlike Genting Highlands. Nevertheless, this place is great if you have kids.

One can easily reach Genting from Kuala Lumpur via car or taxi and enjoy the picturesque beauty on the either side of a six lane highway being built on a mountain. On the way to Genting from when it rains in Genting Highlands especially if you are driving as the visibility will drop to zero.
KL Easibook.com provides coach bus services from Kuala Lumpur instead of Puduraya to Genting Highlands First World Hotel.
There is a "Go Genting" bus service also running at KL Sentral. This bus will end at the cable car station at the foot of the mountains. You have to buy a cable car ticket to Genting Highlands.
A few things to watch out for :
(a) The road leading up the Genting are long and winding. Most first time travellers will get uncomfortable.
(b) The cable car allows only a certain luggage size into the cabin, very much like carry-on luggage on a plane, so just make sure you pack something compact.
(c) Once you reach up to Genting, as a first time vistor, you will be very very disoriented by the sights and sounds of the place. Even during low season, the place is packed full!
