Next is the Deer Cave after my exploration in the Lang Cave which is sitting just next to this cave. Even there are side by side but their cave structure is totally different.
The entrance of the Deer Cave is wider, bigger and taller than Lang Cave.
It is called Deer Cave is obviously because there were a lot of deer coming in and out this cave. After men exploration into this cave, the deer has switch their habitat to another place.
The ceiling is really high and there are lack of artificial light in this cave. Everything is fully depending on the sunlight.
It is another feeling to have bright sunlight shining through the entrance of the cave. By the way, as you can see on the right side of the pillar, they said you can see the side face of the 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. The angle must be really right and you got to have the imagination for it to see it clearly.
This cave is bigger and will takes you about 15 minutes walk around the cave excluding photo shooting time.
Apart of the structure, this cave smells really bad because of the guano, bats' faeces. There are millions of bats living in this cave. If you are "lucky" enough, you might get bats dropping from above. Not just smell but you can hear the bats' sound as well in this cave.
If you cannot stand with the smell, do bring your mask before entering this cave.
The lights are insufficient and flashlight is almost useless because unable to shine this big cave. So if you would like to take photos in this cave, you have to set your aperture the highest the lens can. For example, F1.8 for my lens. ISO will be set to really high but be prepared for the grainy effect which also known as noise. ISO 6400 is my maximum grainy effect that I can accept for my photo. Next, is to reduce the speed as slow as possible so that more light will absorb into your lens. Usually I use between 1/5 - 1/10. Lastly, you need a good pair of hands and legs to avoid shaking the camera.
With the above, you almost ready to get a good picture like this. If you notice well, this picture is shaky. I do admit I am not good at keeping myself steady.
You might need a high speed continuous shot so that you able to get at least one picture that is less shaky.
There are insects everywhere in this cave. So please do not jump when you see crocroaches running around the walkway.
A type of catfish is found in the stream inside the cave.
Sorry because not many good picture that I able to capture in this cave because of the limited source of light.
Ok, as I have mentioned in my previous post before, that you will be seeing bats flying out from the cave at 5.45pm - 6.00pm for the food. Here is their assembly area. Once every bats has reported in, they will fly out in a line. If you are lucky enough again, you will see the bats will assembling around in a love shape.
Here they are coming out from the caves. Their timing is really sharp.
They are flying out in a group so you wont see a continuous line like this for the whole session. They fly out as if they are all belong to the same family and another family will fly out after the previous one has finished.
It is amazing to see the bats flying out like a shape of a dragon.
This session will continue more than an hour. Imagine millions of adult bats grouping at the entrance before flying out from the cave. This process just take a lot of time. Well, it is pleasuring for us to watch it. Below is the video for this but please pardon me because that day I did not bring any telephoto lens so no close up on the bats.
Overall, Deer Cave got nothing much excitement compare to Lang Cave but the only spectacular thing is watching millions of bats flying out from this cave. Truly amazing!
Things to bring:
1) A non-slip pair of shoes or a strap sandal
2) A bright torchlight with extra batteries just in case you running out of battery in the cave.
3) Wear shorts so that you can walk comfortably.

At the same area with Restoran Siu Siu at Brickfields, there is another seafood restaurant which is known as Restoran Robson Heights Fresh Seafood. Steamed Catfish @RM156.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - The taste is fresh and good but the problem is they chose the fish which has a lot of fats in it. So there is barely meat left for 12 of us. It is a very unthoughtful choice by the chef. Lala in Superior Soup @RM45.00 Outlook: 2/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste:2/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - Nothing wrong with their delicious superior soup but it is just the lala which is not fresh at all. I cannot believe they still highly recommended us to take. I feel they are trying to sell of their not fresh lala away quickly. Paku Pakis @RM30.00 - This ridiculous plate of vegetable which is not really delicious but cost RM30.00.

Hatyai or Pattaya may have the famous reputation in a Ladyboy Show but Bangkok is not that bad as well. For those who does not know what a ladyboy means in simple English is transsexual from a man become a woman. Hopefully you are much clearer now. There is a demand for this in Thailand. So I am very determine to watch a show where all the performers on the stage were man. This is how the seating like and you can choose any seat you want when purchasing the ticket. My advice is to choose the middle seat and possibly more to the front. For now, seat back and relax and enjoy the rest of their show in my photos below. Can you imagine they were man? Even our local girls do not have such a figure. How do they look? Seriously, you will think they looks like male from your first glance. There are 16 different shows pack in one hour show. From a sentimental show to... ...a funny one! This one does not look local to me but he can really spread... Acti...
Pulau Tenggol has been promoted quite aggressively by our Malaysian Tourism since 4 years ago. The result is quite successful to attract our local citizen to make their visit on this beautiful island. Pulau Tenggol is located off Dungun Jetty. The nearest airport is Kerteh Airport which at this moment only Malindo Air will fly to this airport. From Kerteh to Dungun is only need less than 30 minutes. As for other local aviation companies will only land at Sultan Mahmud Airport, Kuala Terengganu which needs at least an hour to reach Dungun. You may need to take a 45 minutes boat ride to Pulau Tenggol. You are advice to book in advance with the resort that you are going to stay on this island first before you visit. The reason is there is no public boat or ferry to take you to this island. All the boats at the jetty are resorts' respective private boats. There are 3 resorts on this island only and only able to find two resorts in the website and another one I am wondering ...
It has been a very long time since I have written about a Korean cuisine. I have been upset by a lot of new Korean restaurants recently until the point of time I truly forgot when was the best time I had a good Korean meal before. Lately, as I have been keep exploring the food places in Sri Petaling, my Elayna Jie recommended me again a restaurant called Mi Na Rae. Mi Na Rae Korean Restaurant is located at the first floor. Have you ever wonder why most of the Korean likes to open their restaurant upstairs? I really do not know why and it seems like a culture to them. The set up is very humble and cozy. You won't see any haze in this restaurant like you used to see in other Korean restaurant where they will cook in front of you. This restaurant's policy is no cooking in front of their customer. So if you like to see your food prepared right in front of you, this is not the restaurant you are looking for. Kimchi Mandu Jeongol (small) @RM50.00++ Outlook: 4/5 Creativit...
Bak Kut Teh is originated by people from Hokkien. However, it has been improvised by other ethnic such as Teochew. At Melaka, I had the opportunity to taste a Bak Kut Teh in Teochew style. Basically, they will just ask how many person you want to make and any parts that you do not want. What is so different about their bak kut teh with the others is the soup. Their soup has a light black pepper taste and herbal taste as well. This is the master chef and what I do not really like this restaurant is the master chef is keep screaming all the time. I wonder how he can have this kind of energy to scream for all day long. However, I felt very annoyed when every time he screams. Actually I do not like anyone screams...it spoils my appetite. All I want to do is just get outta there. I do not care how good their food is but with his scream...I cannot continue to eat. He still got a lot of customers immune to that. Well, good for them but I do not recommend this rest...
First thing to touch down at Kota Kinabalu is looking for a good food. So I went circling around Lintas Plaza and I found a couple of restaurants that are almost full house. Pretty amazing to see how F&B industry in Kota Kinabalu turned out to be this good. One of them is Upperstar Steak & Chicken Restaurant. This is a chain western restaurant which I can almost see at every corner of Kota Kinabalu. I got interested and here I am to check them out. One thing I need to compliment the restaurant is their well design. All their restaurants are having this complicated vintage design but they do look elegant! The crowd here are continuously flowing like a river. The moment a seat is empty, the next moment there is a group of customers are waiting beside it. There are almost more than 50 tables in this restaurant and they are 99% fully taken. So you can imagine that. I just have to be there to find out why. Brown Cow @RM13.80++. It is a delicious alcoholic drink. T...
It has been quite some time I have not had butter crab in KL. The last memory is still vividly in my mind. To refresh my mind again, I decided to dine in Restoran New Wong Poh. I found this restaurant by just typing "Butter Crab in KL" and this restaurant name was listed 6 out of 10 results in the first page. This restaurant must be real good! Lala in Superior Soup @RM12.00++ Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 3/5 - I know I am here with the main objective of feasting on their butter crab but their Lala in superior soup is something you really shouldn't miss. It is the best starter to have before the crab. Their superior soup is really full of lala taste in it with a wine kick. Extremely delicious. Apart of that, the lala meat is fat and chewy. The best part is the lala is fresh. So don't let yourself blinded by their butter crab and miss this superior soup. Butter Crab @RM55.00++ Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 5/5 Taste...
Have you seen a food court which is as huge as this? They really have 101 stalls in there and that's why it is called Premier 101 Food Court. In Kuching, there are other 2 food courts running a similar style like this. It is very common here and it you to explore them. Seafood Kuey Tiau @RM4.50 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - This kuey tiau is really must try! The "wok hei" is just perfect even though they ran out of oysters. My sister does not eat oysters anyway so it is perfect for her. So she had 80% of it and I am happy she did. Honey BBQ Chicken Wing @RM2.00/piece Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - Another must order food there. There are plenty of BBQ wing stalls, the tips is simple. Just find the stall has the most people order. Their chicken are quite meaty and I love the slight honey taste combined with the BBQ taste which roams in your mouth so well. Portuguese Grill...
We love nature explorations but jungle trekking and mountain climbing are just too extensive activities especially to my little princess sister. She does not have the sporty physical to support her in such activities. So we decided to a non extensive nature exploration which is a cave exploration. There are 2 nearest caves to Kuching and so we headed to the first one which is called Wind Cave a.k.a Gua Angin which is located at Bau. Another cave is called Fairy Cave a.k.a Gua Pari-Pari . It is a 90 minutes drive from the Kuching City and she was nicely slept all the way leaving me alone driving and trying hard to look for the cave location. This supposed to be their main entrance but recently these place is sealed because of a landslide. Even though the entrance is sealed, we saw a nearby river stream which is so beautiful enough to capture our attention. Clean and clear water which is a good place for swimming and bathing. Outstanding landscape around it which will makes...
Penang is famous with their hawker centers. Too many hawker centers around from the one I hate most which is at Gurney Drive (too commercialized) to the one I visited the most, Northam Beach Cafe. Located right opposite of Northam Hotel. This hawker center is located by the sea so you will be enjoying the sound of sea wave plus soothing sea wind with your delicious food. Look at the crowd and you will understand that this is the best! It is not obvious from the main road because you need to turn in to one narrow road to find a parking which is free and walk further in to find this hawker center. Not revealing to the public at all but still can get this kind of crowd. So you will know how genuine these crowds are. Tips: Go one round of the hawker stalls first before getting a seat. Let's start of with this Ah Shun Fried Oyster. This is my favorite among all. Actually all listed here are my favourites but this is the top. You can choose different size of portions...
