Fairy Cave a.k.a Gua Pari-Pari, Bau

-
Fairy Cave a.k.a Gua Pari-Pari is the second cave that I explored in Kuching after my experience at Wind Cave a.k.a Gua Angin. This cave is also located at Bau which is approximately 18 km away from the Wind Cave. 
The cave will be right inside the heart of this mountain. All right let's start our exploration! Oh, by the way. There is no entrance fee will be charged in this cave unlike the Wind Cave.
Yes, you will see this four-storey high tower which you need to climb to reach to the entrance of the cave. You may start to sigh or grumbling of its height. Don't worry, we have an alternative road to the the entrance.
How about this route? Hehehehe...I think you should know which route to choose by now.
After a few puffing sound and sighing sound made by my sister, here we are reaching the entrance of the cave which is just lie beyond this staircase. I believe this four-storey tower has taken almost 50% of her stamina.
On the top of the entrance of the cave, we spotted this. Looks like a huge lizard and that's why my sister was stunned in the previous photo.
Anyway, let's get in. Since it is a free entrance, you will not see a map of the cave like what I had at Wind Cave. So basically is "explore yourself" concept. Luckily a man made pavement like this helps us a little to guide us where we should go.
Please watch out the stairs in this cave. They are dark and slippery. There are a lot of waters dripping inside this cave.
After a few climbs, we reached this amazing view inside the mountain. How astonishing this view is. It is a very HUGE hole in this mountain.
So we continue to climb further to reach the viewing platform which is man made. There are chairs and benches available for you to seat but they are very dirty.
A closer look on the hole.
A view from the top to the bottom. Simply amazing! I really amazed how nature itself can turn this into. Anything seems possible.
Wanna know why it is called Fairy Cave? As I mentioned before there are a lot of water dripping inside this cave which they treated the water as Fairy Drops so that is where the name comes from.
Okay, she has fully used up all her energy and she is no longer able to pose like she always do. Honestly, I will say she did a very great job because she is not those sporty person. She is more to quiet and prefer to seat rather than stand person. Sound like an old woman and yeah...it does.
More view inside this cave. Basically this cave is brighter and able to give you the perfect scenery inside a cave unlike the Wind Cave but it has no educational board is available here to teach you about a cave. Due to no route map is given in this cave, we are not sure what other roads may lead us to. The following pictures will show you there are a couple of entrances which we thought we can continue our exploration. But most of them are dead end.
With pavement, I thought is a route but it is a dead end.
No, nothing there. Is another dead end.
This looks like a human's throat. Anyway, it is a dead end too even though it looks like a route lies beyond this.
I am more convinced that this is surely a possible route to guide us to the inner heart of the cave. But my sister is too afraid to go on because it is really dark in there and we does not have a good torchlight to shine us through.
Well, I need to give her a good pat on her shoulder because this kind of thing is never her thing and she done it very well. She did it because she has the urge of wanted to try and I was there with her to do it. Bravo, sis..you are wonderful!
This is another amazing landscape which is located a few meters away from the entrance of the cave. Overall, I believe this cave is the best of all in Kuching. I really do not mind they charge visitors to enter this cave because at least there is someone to manage this cave and take care of them. I saw some graffiti in this cave which is a vandalism for me and ruining this cave original look. Further more, there are Chinese joss stick inside this cave which I believe someone using it to pray over something. Well, as for the conclusion...just hope our government will managed this cave from someone abusing it.
A word of advice for visitors, please treasure this piece of gift from our mother nature and at the same time do carry items below;

 1) A good torchlight
2) A good pair of shoes which is non slippery
3) Water
4) A stick either to help you to climb or to defend yourself since this place has no security at all and very quiet. Anything happens, you have no one to call to.
5) Preferable if you come with a tour guide or in a bigger group of people. Do not come in couple like us did which we are just too daring and it is not advisable to do so. I knew from the beginning when I reach the entrance of the cave but I did not want to tell my sister because I do not want to panic her. However, I was very alert with the surroundings so that I can protect her if anything happens. Due to I was too alert, I never really enjoy the scene at ease.
6) Please click on the link at the end of this post for the exact location of this place. Trust me, it is very accurate.

 Total Damage: RM0.00
Ambiance: 5/5
Freakout Level: 3/5

Location: 1312, Serikin, 94000 Bau, Sarawak, Malaysia

Coliseum Cafe & Grill Room @The Gardens Mall

It is my day with my little princess, Ying Ying. She is getting cuter every single day. We had our own sweet time at Coliseum Cafe & Grill Room. This restaurant has been operating since 1921 and this is the first time after 92 years, they started to branch out their restaurant to Plaza 33 and Mid Valley. This restaurant has clinched Malaysia Book of Records award for the "Longest Operating Western Colonial - Themed Restaurant. Their first ever restaurant is at Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.  It is not easy to sustain this long. They surely has their uniqueness in their menu to keep their customers happy. One of the reason is they are pork free restaurant. This easily encourage Malay citizens which stands more than 70% in Malaysia to enjoy western food in this restaurant.

Champ's Bowling Centre, Sandakan

-
Image
Not really much entertainment in Sandakan even though they are just beside the sea. No nice beach for water activities and the nearest island like Pulau Selingan and Turtle Island are about 90 minutes away. As for the town itself, basically is this bowling centre called Champ's which has a very nice and good condition bowling alley, bowling shoes and bowling bowls if to compare with bowling centres like in KL.  Not very big at all for their bowling centre which only has 12 lanes. Their shoes look so new! Here is a demonstration on how to bowl. Looks pro...I wonder how is the end result. So what do guys think? Is it a strike? They have a lounge here as well. And a cafe too! The price of the bowling is cost at RM4.80 per game per pax. We went at their most peak hours so their price basically has not much different than our KL City price. As for the bowling shoes is chargeable at RM2.00 per pax. FYI, the prices not inclusive government ta...

What will people think first when we talk about Penang? Penang Hill? Batu Feringghi? Hard Rock Cafe? I doubt any of them come first but their local food! Penang famous with their local foods and that is the reason there are a lot of hawker center at Penang. One of them is at Jalan MacAlister. No name for this hawker center but the local good foods are concentrated here. A lot of hawker stall like this here. There are just too many to choose from. Prawn Mee @RM5.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - As I mentioned in my previous post at Raodifang, I just hate to eat a prawn mee with small prawns in it.

Kedai Kopi Lotus, Kota Kinabalu

-
Image
Kota Kinabalu doesn't have huge hawker center like you will see in Peninsular Malaysia or Kuching but I have to reckon that the best hawker center in Kota Kinabalu is in Kedai Kopi Lotus. Kedai Kopi Lotus themselves do serve their own food which was very terrible and beyond edible state. So do not eat anything from this restaurant. You just pick the stalls beside this restaurant. There are 4 stalls which I will introduce one by one to you but the only stall which will not be introduced is the stall which is selling Guo Tie ( a kind of dumplings) -  not my favorite. The best and the most popular stall of all is this chicken wing stall. Everyone is there lining up for them either taking away or dining there. You may need to wait for 15-20 minutes for it. However, it will be definitely worthwhile. RM2.65/pc for this chicken wing. The reason it is taste so good is because of the perfect combination of the honey and the BBQ fragrance. They blend it so well inside the fresh and...

Tasik Biru Kangkar Pulai, Johor Bahru

-
Image
At Johor Bahru, there is a majestic blue lake which is known as Tasik Biru Kangkar Pulai. It is a hidden gem within Masai, Johor Bahru.  The reason it is blue is because of the iron ore quarry nearby. The blue color is from the mineral called copper sulphate but I am not sure if that's the real reason for it because whenever there is a blue lake like this, there will be a iron ore quarry beside of it. Another good example is Tasik Biru Bukit Ibam Muadzam Shah, Pahang. I believe there are other more which you can share with me the location of the blue lake with an iron ore quarry beside it on the comments below. Thanks. A panoramic view of the blue lake. Click to enlarge the picture. To get to here, simple key in "Tasek Biru Kangkar Pulai" into your Waze app. It will leads you directly to this place. There are no designated parking place, so you just have to park beside the main road.  It is not difficult to hike because I saw kids have no problem cli...

Rakuzen @Empire Shopping Gallery

-
Image
I may have introduced a "shocking"  Kampachi , Japanese Cuisine for you all. So this time I will lower a bit the level of the Japanese Cuisine but the quality is still that good. The Japanese Restaurant is called Rakuzen. This restaurant is the sister company with  Hokkaido Ichiba ,  Kura Japanese Restaurant ,  Zen ,  Sushi Zanmai  and  Pasta Zanmai  which means they are from the same boss. The difference is Rakuzen consider a high end Japanese Restaurant among all of them and follow by  Kura ,  Hokkaido Ichiba ,  Zen  and  Sushi Zanmai  while  Pasta Zanmai  is under different category. As you can see Super Dining Sdn Bhd has monopolizes the Japanese Restaurant market in Malaysia. That does not mean any good if the quality is not well maintained. This is the entrance of the Rakuzen Restaurant. No sushi belt available here so all orders are ala-carte basis. The dining area G...

K80 Go-Karting Session, City Karting @Shah Alam

-
Image
Driving a go cart like a F1 driver before? I always dream about this and doing it together with my  sister  who is lack of adventurous gene in her. So lately Dealmates  is offering a great deal to experience such feel in a F1 circuit alike! The link for the offer as below: RM25 instead of RM35 for a 10-minute single K80 Go-Karting Session   So basically in this voucher you are paying for RM25 instead of  RM35 for a 100cc go kart. 100cc is very fast. Please do not compare with Genting 's go-kart which a bicycle can be faster than that. However, the major turn off is only valid on weekdays. Actually does not really affect me that much since I am owning my business. Haha... We went there twice. The first time she wear a skirt so not really good for her to drive. By the way, there is a two-seater go kart available too! So we make our second attempt this time and all the staffs still remember her as "the girl with her skirt" even almost 3 weeks! She ...

Restoran Yu Hing, Kota Kinabalu

-
Image
By the appearance of it, Restoran Yu Hing definitely doesn't look appealing enough to become a tourist spot for you as your dining choice. However, I am still going to introduce to you their noodle. They do serve other variety of food but something worth to be here is only their noodle which is known as Beaufort Fried Noodle. Beaufort is a name of a town in Sabah. This is their very own local delicacies which you won't find it easily at any part of Malaysia or even Sabah. You have to be either in Kota Kinabalu or Beaufort to experience it. We can even hardly able to find a table in this run-down looking restaurant which already suggest that how good they are. Beaufort Fried Noodle @RM9.70 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - Still a common looking noodle to you which does not convince you why I am purposely creating a post just to introduce it? You have to come visit for yourself then. I think the same too when it is displayed right in f...

Kedai Kopi Jia Siang Sheng Rou Mian, Lintas Plaza

-
Image
At Kota Kinabalu, you may find Sheng Rou noodle is very common and famous among the local especially this Kedai Kopi Jia Siang which has a lot of customers roaming to their restaurant from day to night. Since they have a crowd like this, I have to make my point for it. Complimentary tofu for each ala-carte order. Tsate normal for me because I prefer a hot tofu. Sheng Rou Soup Noodle Outlook: 3/5 Creative: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - The ingredients are a lot but the noodle is plain and unimpressive. Noodle plays an important role but they have taken it lightly. It is just a normal commercial noodle not some handmade noodle. Dried Sheng Rou Noodle Outlook: 3/5 Creative: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - Once again, the noodle is the root cause for the low score.  Meat Ball Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - This is a meat ball that will explode gravy in it. That is why they are look so big. As for the taste, not really impressiv...
