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.

I may have introduced to you one of the best Ramen in my blog which is called Marutama Ramen @Fahrenheit88 .

I wish they able to let me in to capture...
Spending in Brunei is really high especially they are sharing same exchange rate with Singapore. Therefore people will think that travelling in Brunei will be very costly. Honestly, apart of the trip in Kampung Ayer , there is not many places that you need to spend a lot of money on their tourist spots. Some are even for free! Agro Technology Park is one of the example of free entrance tourist spot. Walking through the park’s main entrance, you will be greeted with a huge welcome sign on pillars, embellished with colourful flowers. You can choose to take in the scenery by taking a buggy or a bus, which are provided by the park, but the best way is to walk. This park is really huge! It is officially opened on the last quarter of 2013 and I would really say everything is very well maintained even though it is free entrance. The Bruneian really taking good care of the surroundings and you will hardly see any litter around. What a good culture they have! Heading towards...
I used to whine that Japanese cuisine in Johor Bahru is horrifying and disappointing until I meet Warakuya Japanese Garden at Mount Austin. From the exterior itself, this restaurant looks so grand and luxury. The first thing comes to my mind is the price will be hefty. However, when I saw the queue in front of the restaurant, I already doubt their price is going to be really expensive. I know people just loves good food but at the minimum price. Who doesn't anyway? One of the best part of the restaurant is they are providing 42" LCD TV, free flow of drinks and seating area for the queue. You will never know time flies when you are having those things at the waiting area. Something that Sushi Zanmai needs to consider. Mango Sushi @RM11.90++ Outlook: 5/5 Creativity: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - The moment I put the whole piece into my mouth, the sweetness of the mango already started to pamper my tongue.

After with her colleagues and always a must and a routine to dine together with her mom as well. I pretty much bored to hear them keep saying having their dinner at Peel Road, Pudu, Maluri and blah blah blah. So this time I have to bring them to the place I stayed before for almost 3 years which is Taman Connaught. I miss this place so much. A lot of memories here. Anyway, the restaurant is called Big Tree Lin Kee Steam Fish Head. They has another branch opposite this taman which is known as Taman Tayton. This is the branch. Seeing her in an average of 2 months once with lots of difference in her looks and her life. Feel like started for not able to catch up with her already. Anyway, I still hope she is doing the best that she can in whatever she wanted to do. All the best!

My last adventure with Skytrex was 7 years ago at Taman Pertanian, Shah Alam . It is not that I do not like this activity to wait too long for this activity. First, it is because it is too far from where I stay. Second, it is not challenging for my level. Third, it is more fun to have more people joining for the activity. Since there is a new Skytrex near me and I found my gang for this activity. I just cannot missed it. My son is 110cm and he is almost 4 years old so he is just qualified to participate for Little Dino but must be accompanied by an adult due to his young age. The price for the Little Dino is RM45 (online price) per person and the adults is paying for the same price too. If you walk in, you need to pay extra RM5 from their online price. There are only 3 time slots for Little Dino only which is 10.30am, 12.00pm and 3.00pm. During weekdays, Little Dino is not available. At their website, it is written the course requires 2 hours but in reality, it just ...
Never know about this place until I watched Ah Xian from the TV Programme which is known as "Taste with Jason". This restaurant is known as Chong Siew Lam Restaurant. No signboard to show this place but this is the only the crowded place in the whole street. They only serve for lunch so do expect great crowd roaming to this place between 12.00pm to 2.00pm. Steamed Tilapia Fish Head @RM20.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - Tilapia is a freshwater fish and the best is to steam it. Without a doubt, they did it very well. The meat is so fresh but what is the best part is the gravy. Not sure how they made it but it brings a little wine taste in it with spicy kick. Absolutely uniquely delicious! Steam Salted Chicken @RM22.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - By steaming the chicken like that, the gravy has already penetrated the entire chicken meat. If you just eat the chicken itself, it i...
This is my first time dining at Sentul and glad to know this great Chinese restaurant which is known as Restoran Makanan Laut Lau Heong. This is the crowd at 6.00pm on Sunday. Crazy right? Let you see from another angle. They just own one shop lot but seems like owning an extra 4 parking space but still they are people standing and waiting for their seat including me! Curry Fish Head @RM25.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - This is their signature. You can choose a normal fish meat or a fish head like this. The curry is not really spicy at all. It contains more coconut milk taste than the curry itself. The fragrance of the curry and the coconut milk work perfectly. I can smell it before it is served. The fish heads are soft, tender, fresh and delicious. Highly recommend to everyone to try.

The Ship is one of the oldest steakhouse in Malaysia. So expectation on them are truly high. They are creative enough to decorate the whole restaurant like an old warship concept. Their waiter/waitress dressed like a sailor and their managers dressed like captains. They have other branches in Bukit Bintang, Pertama Kompleks, Petaling Jaya, Batu Feringghi (Penang) and Sri Bahari (Penang) Complimentary bread Complimentary Salad Escargots Bourguinonne Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: N/A Overall: 3/5 - Escargot is a sea snail. Maybe when you heard of snail you might already say NO to it. Let me assured you that, if a chef in the restaurant knows how to cook it well, it can be extremely delicious. Trust me. But The Ship does not make it that way. So you can skip it if you like. A close shot on how you eat the escargot.

My sister's mum is so excited when I ask her where to have a great hawker food experience. As you remembered, I am trying to go into hidden best hawker food in our most crowded city in Malaysia. Nevertheless, auntie really contributed a lot in my quest and I trusted 100% with her taste because she really know how to classify a food is good! This time the hawker stall take place along the road of Jalan San Peng. If you are coming from Jalan Pasar, it will be located at your left. The name of the restaurant is called Restoran Ah Chai. Pork Rib in Red Wine @RM13.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 5/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - When I first saw this dish, I was really surprised. A hawker stall like this making an extra effort to prepare a salad separately in an ice cream cup? The effort itself already score 100 marks. As for the taste, it is pretty sweet and nice. The pork rib is well cooked. Claypot Taufu @RM8.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 ...
