Teluk Sengat Crocodile Farm, Ayer Tawar

-
The first time we are bringing our new member in our family for a family day trip is to Teluk Sengat Crocodile Farm. The farm is located 1 hour away from Johor Bahru and 30 minutes away from Desaru. The price of the ticket is RM8 (adult) and RM6 (child). For kids below 4 years old is free. 
They built a path with shed with the crocodile cage on the either side. There is a wooden platform for us to step on it to look at the crocodile. 
Too bad the platform is good for adult but not the kids. The kids will need the adults to carry them.
There is a large lake where all the crocodiles can roam freely at this area. I cannot imagine myself if I fell into this place. I believe there are hundreds of crocodiles with various of sizes waiting for me. Actually this place is for the female crocodiles to find a nest to lay their eyes.
They separate the crocodiles by their ages. 
I didn't see any baby crocodiles but this is the smallest that I have seen in the farm which is 20+ years old. 20 years old still this small? Then what is the age of a large crocodile which we often see on the television then?
Yes, you can do the math. They should be more than 100 years old. For the age more than 155 years old, they will separate them in their own respective cell. 
If you have checked online, this reptile lifespan is averagely at 70 years old. So how on earth they have more than 155 years old crocodiles in their farm? That's twice the average lifespan? 
This is the weird part which I do not get someone to explain to me. There is no guide that will take you around the farm and explain to you unless you come in a big tour group. 
Normally a crocodile can weigh up to 1000kg and 7 meters long. As you can see, the breeder was provoking the crocodile to demonstrate to the visitors on how powerful is the crocodile. You can see more from the video below.
In case you are wondering why the crocodiles always keep their mouth open. I used to thought that to attract the prey to walk into their mouth. Seems like I had it wrong all these while. LOL
Crocodiles can't really live together well. Sometimes, they will fight which will ended up dead or seriously injured. So for those injured crocodiles, they will be placed in a sanctuary like this separately from the others. As you can see this crocodile has already lost almost half of its body but it is still alive. Never heard about crocodile can regenerate its own tail.
My son is always enjoying his time going out from home no matter where we go. So he likes the crocodile farm and he is enjoying it. 
There is a small spot where they decorated for the visitors to become instagramable. 
This is the cafeteria where you can order a crocodile soup and crocodile satay meat.
The crocodile soup cost us RM30/bowl. The meat inside the soup can't be eaten because it smells so badly but surprisingly the soup is not as smelly as the meet. It is because the amount of goji has been put inside the soup to eliminate the smell. The soup is just full of goji taste. Not really tasty at all.
This is the crocodile satay where they are selling is for RM16 for just 4 sticks. It is really expensive but the taste is really delicious. It does taste like chicken and even better than chicken.
I had to order again as my son wants more of it. Look at the picture above you will know how much he is enjoying it.
Overall, it was a great family hangout even though it is very far from Kluang for us. Outside the farm, you can experience holding the baby crocodile and taking picture with it for RM20/pax. For your information, you can even buy their crocodile egg too at RM10/egg. The egg is big but it does not taste like chicken egg. It taste more awful than chicken egg. Nonetheless, it is a great place to visit if you are passing by or leaving nearby here. Definitely not worth it if you are coming from far away. As you can finished the tour within an hour.
Total Damage: RM8 (adult), RM6 (kids)
Price: 3/5
Ambiance: 3/5
Service: 3/5
Cleanliness: 3/5
Recommended?: Not really unless you are happened to somewhere near here.

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...

Hawker Center @Jalan MacAlister, Penang

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...

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...

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 ...

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...
