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.
Total Damage: RM25/pax for 2 caves trip. Ambiance: 1/5 Freakout Level: 2/5 Recommended?: Yes
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...
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. Once the biting started, the sweet taste is ge...
This is my first time dining out with my goddaughter, Ling Jinn Ying at Restoran Jin Xuan Hong Kong for our dim sum session She is so cute and adorable! This restaurants has 6 branches spread out the whole Klang Valley with at least 10 years of history. I heard from my friend, Jeffery said that on the weekend, people queuing up for their dim sum. Luckily today, I do not have to do that. Big hand small hand. She just can watch us eat. She is too small for food like this. Anyway, I will just shorten my ratings as usual for the following dim sum that we have ordered. Butter Cream Salted Egg Yolk Bun @RM3.60++ - 4/5 Fried Carrot Cake @RM5.00++ - 5/5 Steamed Prawn Dumplings @RM4.50++ - 3/5 Steamed Bun in Shanghai Style @RM5.50++ - 2/5 Scallop Dumplings @RM4.50++ - 4/5 Seaweed Pork @RM4.00++ - 2/5 Cheow Zhou Siew Mai @RM4.50++ - 2/5 Siew Mai @RM4.00++ - 3/5 Overall, I feel that it is just a normal dim sum that I usually had. Nothing special except th...
Since already at Kuching, seafood is always a must try. I decided to visit See Good Food Centre which is very famous. Even the locals know about how good this place is. So without further ado, let's order some food to eat. Amazingly to see that they have a wine cellar here. But I did not order any of them. Not really in the mood for the wine yet. Midin Garlic @RM8.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - Midin is a wild fern leaf which I do not why I cannot find them in west Malaysia. What I can say is, do order this vegetables whenever you are here at Kuching because they really delicious either cook with garlic or with sambal belacan. Both ways are equally delicious. So Midin is a must taste food at Kuching! Remember to mark it down! Garlic Crab @RM30.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - Looks is deceiving because they taste pretty good. Well, the crab is not as big as we expected so not much me...
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. Ginger Squid and Prawn @RM18.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 4/5 - Hardly taste the ginger but what makes me...
Talking about caving, at East Malaysia, we will surely talk about Gua Niah . While at West Malaysia, many of us will think of is this, Gua Tempurung. So here I am at the entrance of one of the famous caves in Malaysia. A little history about this cave for you to know more. These are the prices and packages that you can choose from based on the difficulty and the adventure you would like to experience. Please take note on the number of people as well in your group. Tour 3 (Top of the World & Short River Adventure) & 4 (Grand Tour) have to be minimum of 8 pax. Tour 2 (Top of the World) is 4 pax and for any lesser than that will be Tour 1 (Golden Flowstone) . Here are the sample pictures of what you going to experience depending to the tour you took. So you have a good picture on what you will be experiencing. If you only have three pax or below and you do not wish to go for the tour 1, you have 2 options; 1) Wait for other visitors to come. NOTE:...
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...
When I saw Ben's General Food Store, I thought it is the same as the Ben's restaurant at Pavilion. After my best friend, Ailin explained to me and I realized I was making a mistake. There are totally different so let's see their difference. Old school weighing machine. Interesting way on how they setting up the seats here and their plates here. Old school steel plate and the seating are all lining up in a row. Like a canteen! The menu is totally different with Ben's restaurant. Their kitchen...really like a canteen style. Feel like in the school again! I was highly recommend by Ailin that to try their roasted chicken. Is the best in their whole menu. So why will I miss that? You only can choose either half a chicken or whole chicken. Every each order will comes with 2 free salads which you can choose freely. There are a total of 16 type of different salads to be be chosen from Banoffee Pie @RM11.90++ - Having constipation problem? This...
I told my girl and my sister that today onward I will try to blog more on hawker foods. The reason is they said the food that I blog so far is nice to see but too expensive to eat. So to suit my supporters need, here I start with a simple char siew rice. The restaurant name is called Ka Ka Loi (cantonese) which means "come everybody". The restaurant is located beside Jalan Peel. It is quite easy to be located because a lot of cars parking by the road side. Rice made from pork oil to cook to increase the fragrance. Char Siew - RM13.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - This is their must order dish. The picture above is suitable for 3 person to dine. As you can see from the picture, there is 50% of the char siew are fatty meat. If you like the fatty meat, you can always request for more fatty meat. For me, I rather choose without any fat due to health concern. The reason for this char siew to be so nice is not just because they ar...
My Kluang first Korean Restaurant! Wow...getting so proud with Kluang lately because of their varieties in food which has given me more choices. The Korean Restaurant name is Dong Seoul Korea Restaurant. The crowds are pretty good because most of the local has not really tried a Korean cuisine yet. They will not reluctant to try something new especially K-Pop and K-Drama have always been a hit here! These are their side dishes and they do show their quantity. But the quality is real bad. I refilled none! First time ever I never asked for a refill. This soup is also a part of the side dishes. Pork Neck in progress... This is the worst ever pork neck I have eaten so far. The meat is overcooked and it becomes so hard to chew. Avoid this. Pork belly with the hot & spicy sauce. Oh, by the way...I did not provide the price is because all these are in a set which is cost RM99.00 nett. Hot & Spicy Pork Belly which is not bad but the sauce not really hot & ...
