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.

Cruise Tour on Erhai Lake, Dali

-
Image
Erhai Lake is the largest highland lake next to Dianchi and one of the seven biggest fresh water lakes in China. It means, 'sea shaped like an ear', in Chinese. Implying that the lake is ear shaped and as large as a sea, hence it was so named. The Erhai Lake covers an area of 250 square kilometers (96 square miles) and is located about two kilometers (1.2 miles) east of Dali. It is like a crescent lying between Cangshan and Dali city as seen from Cangshan Mountain. In a sunny day, the crystal waters of Erhai Lake and the snow mantled Cangshan Mount radiate with each other. Thus the scene was commonly described as 'Silver Cangshan and Jade Erhai'. There are a lot of ways to tour around the Erhai Lake but I suggested you the best two ways. Cycling/Sightseeing Car/Electric Bike/Electric Car - No matter which type of transportation you are using, you need 2 days to complete the tour around the lake. The total distance is 128km. My suggestion is you leave your big...

Warakuya Japanese Garden, Mount Austin

-
Image
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...

Fish Farm Thai Restaurant @Hulu Langat

-
Image
Now dining in the nature is started to be a trend lately. A lot of restaurants started to build inside the greenery. One of them is Fish Farm Thai Restaurant which is originally just a vegetable farm, fish farm and poultry farm has started to serve food in here as you can see from the picture above. People now just wish to escape away from the busy and polluted city just to have a nice peaceful meal.  All their food resources are mostly from their own. So there is no issue about freshness. This restaurant is a Thai restaurant which is specialized in seafood. Their employees are mostly from Thailand too. It is quite hard to communicate with them when you are trying to ask something else from the menu. I hope the restaurant owner will look into this. They do have a stage on the water for live band or live performance for special company event. It is really amazing.

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...

Asahi Japanese Restaurant @Berjaya Times Square

It has been a long time I have not been here at Berjaya Times Square. I very pleased to see some new restaurants are opening up here which makes this used to be aboring mall becomes interesting. When I saw Asahi Japanese Restaurant, I knew I must choose this place since Japanese cuisine is always my favourite. Dobin Mushi @RM19.81++ Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Price: 3/5 - Overall: 3/5 - After my last experience at Kin no Mizu , I started to love Dobin Mushi. However, this Dobin Mushi did not taste the same at all. After they squeezed half lime juice in it, the taste was weird. Not smooth, no more seafood freshness in it. However, after a few cups of it, I started to accept this new taste but I still prefer the original Dobin Mushi. Sashimi Mori @RM99.06++ Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 2/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - As usual, I would started off with their Sashimi platter which comes with 5 types of fishes with 3 pieces each except the butter...

Restoran Makanan Laut Lau Heong, Bandar Baru Sentul

-
Image
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...

Celebrating Mooncake Festival in Genting Highlands

Image
Usually during Mooncake Festival, most of us will choose to celebrate at home with family, relatives or friends. Not to forget to have different kinds of mooncakes on the table and a pot of Chinese tea for sipping while watching the big bright moon. It was really an enjoying moment. However, have you ever thinking of changing the venue to a chilling mountain? Yes, I am talking about celebrating Mooncake Festival in Genting Highlands. Whole family and friends at the top of the mountain and watching the moon in a much closer view. What is more exciting is accompanying by a series of premium mooncakes which you will not get anywhere else except on this very mountain itself. Delicious new options for the modern mooncake fan include the light snow skin mango with pomelo, white lotus paste with dried mandarin orange jingsa, sweet corn paste with caramel nuts, cheese jingsa, Golden Jade with lime and nuts, and Golden Jade with buttermilk custard. These new alternatives are lighter i...

Kyung Joo Korean Restaurant, MidValley

-
Image
After a series of disappointments, I decided to give a rest for my further coupon reviews and decided to go somewhere that I have been visited quite frequently. This time is a Korean Cuisine! The restaurant is Kyung Joo Korean Restaurant located at the 3rd Floor, South Court of the MidValley City. It is the only decent Korean Restaurant in MidValley and of course you can find more over at The Gardens. No wi-fi is provided but the environment is quite clean. This restaurant has been here for years with the same renovation. I wonder why MidValley did not ask them to renew their design. Among all the Ginseng Tea  that I have tried so far, this is the best ginseng tea with real ginseng taste. However, the ginseng taste only able to retain in the first pot. Once you refill with hot water, you will no longer taste the ginseng. All you can drink at that moment is plain water. It is a very refreshing drink after you had your long movie show and exhausting window shoppi...
