Enjoy seafood at Wonderland Food Store in Langkawi

Destination: Langkawi Island, Kedah, Malaysia.

This is not our first time visiting Langkawi Island, but what made this trip special is that I had a chance to eat my favorite Dried Chili Squid! I've been waiting about 3 years to come back to this island, place where I grew up, just to eat this delicious squid! My parents used to bring me having dinner here and this time my lovely hubby bring me here.

Wonderful Fireflies

Destination: Kuala Selangor, Selangor, Malaysia

It has been so long that I haven't update anything about my travels.

During last labour day, 1 May 2009, my family and I went to see the beautiful of fireflies at Kelip-kelip Kampung Kuantan in Kuala Selangor, Selangor, Malaysia.

The fireflies are not flies, they are actually tiny beetles which are about 6mm. If the weather is good you'll be lucky to see them glowing at night. During our trip, we could see them glowing along the river and they looked like the flashing Christmas tree! Sorry that I don't have any picture of these amazing fireflies, as flash is not allow to be used as it will scare them away.

My tips here, if you are planning to go there during any public holiday, you'd better buy your ticket earlier as it is usually going to be a very long line. Some more once you managed to buy your ticket, then you will need to line up to get into the boat. I don't know if nowadays they change the way they manage it. It is also good if you go there in a group of four people so that you could be in the same boat. The price, well I can't remember but I guess it is around RM10.00 per person.

Line up to buy ticket and to ride the boat.

Rojak SS15 Subang Jaya

Destination: Selangor, Malaysia

Rojak SS15 Subang Jaya is one of my hubby's favourites! Here they do not provide table and chairs for customers to eat. It's either you take away or you just need to find your best place to seat anywhere there! Sometimes this place is too crowded until we have to eat while standing!

I know about this Rojak since 2003 but that time they run the business on the mobile van stall opposite of Shell petrol station next to the mosque. Now they already moved to this stall built by MBSJ. According to some people the taste of this Rojak is much better during the previous years. For me it is just the same, maybe because it is not my favourite food. Anyhow, my hubby really like it. For him it is the best Rojak he ever tasted.

Above is the price list. The photo was taken in February 2009. Hopefully they will maintain the price forever. You wish! :P

Usually, we have to line up to buy the Rojak, but that doesn't take so long, as the sellers prepare the Rojak very fast.

Above is the delicious Rojak. I usually will ask for more cucumber. My hubby loves the Rojak with Sotong (Squid).

Besides that, we ordered coconut.

This stall is nearby the KFC at SS15 Subang Jaya. It's a row of MBSJ stalls by the road side, which also opposite the football field. You will see the white van parking there.

Simple Lunch at Teppanyaki, Ikano Power Centre

Destination: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

This time hubby and I went to Teppanyaki, at Ikano Power Centre, Mutiara Damansara for lunch. This might be our 15th visit to Teppanyaki, I don't know... Whenever we were kind of no idea where to eat, we usually choose Teppanyaki. Maybe because the simple menu they have suit both of us.

We love to see the cook prepare the meal in front of us.

Green Tea (Japanese Tea), RM0.90
Here, this Green Tea is free refill.

Salmon Fish Teppanyaki, RM15.50

We ordered 2 Green Tea, 1 Salmon Fish Teppanyaki and 1 Chicken Teppanyaki, which perfect enough to make us full for lunch! :)

Certified Crazy at Ostrich Farm

Destination: Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia

Last weekend hubby and I went to PD Ostrich, formerly known as PD Ostrich Show Farm in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. We travelled by car for about 2 hours journey from Shah Alam, Selangor. This trip was actually our pending plan in 2008.

I took this photo from inside the car, so that's why it looks like that :P

We dropped by at the above food court for lunch.

There are few activities that can be done here. You can feed the animals, ride the ostrich, play coconut bowling, play the blow pipe and many more. To feed the animals, you have to buy the food they provided.

Above is the Ostrich food which can be used to feed the goats too! RM2.00 per container.

Hubby is feeding the sheep.

These are the juvenile Ostriches (7-16 months). Male feathers are black in color, while female feathers are grey in color. Ostrich belongs to the ratite family. The characteristic of the ratite family is they do not have breast muscle, so they cannot fly.

Hubby is feeding the ostrich. I'm scared to do so. Ouch! Ouch!

Female Ostriches start laying at 18 months old, while male Ostriches start mating at 3 years old. The laying time is around 8 to 10 a.m. and from 4 to 6 p.m. After laying the eggs will be collected immediately to avoid the soil contamination. The production of eggs is around 40 to 90 eggs per season (1 season = 8 months).

The breeder bird are under feed intake control, to ensure they are healthy and successful in laying eggs. The controlling variables are fiber, protein and calcium intake. There are 5 main industries involving this amazing birds, whereby they sell the meat, skin, feathers, oil and bones.

Some Ostriches are being placed in a clinic paddock, not because of disease. They are relocated in the clinic paddock because of low in fiber, protein and calcium. Every month the sick birds will be selected and placed in the paddock for treatments.

At the Ostrich Nest, they put in the fake eggs to stimulate the female to lay eggs in that area. The male Ostriches will look for sandy area and dig a hole with their wings. The male is ready to make when the beak and the seals on the leg gradually turns into the red color and they will make a sound called "wooming".

The Ostrich's leg!

If you are less than 120 kg, you can take photo stepping on the Ostrich's egg, but that's not the real egg :) hahaha... An Ostrich egg can withstand up to 120 kg, but you cannot kick or jump on the egg, if it's a real egg!

Here is the pets playground. You can feed the rabbits!

Here is the most challenging activity! Are you dare to ride this brainless Ostrich? Once you're here, you should try it! Just pay RM4.00 for adult or RM2.00 for children, the trainers will explain to you how to ride it! Don't worry they will also take care of you.

Once you managed to ride the Ostrich, don't forget to claim for your certificate!!! It's cool to keep the certificate. We had been judged by their fun loving trainers to be choked, full of bravado, stuffed with fun and certainly a little crazy in even considering riding the big brainless ostrich!!!

Here is the cafe.

Here they sell Ostrich Satay but it is quite expensive. RM10.00 for 6 sticks of Ostrich Satay. Well just try it once :)

Ostrich Satay. It tastes more or less like chicken but a bit sweet.

That is a lamb, which being care by the staff here as its mother died.

Besides that, at this Ostrich Farm they also have few other animals. Some are being put in the cage, while some other are freely live in the farm.

Before going back, we dropped by at the Pantai Telok Kemang (Telok Kemang Beach) as I miss to see the sea.

Telok Kemang Beach

It was a hot day at the beach, so we would like to drink and eat something. We ordered Laksa and ABC. Anyhow it's not the best Laksa and ABC in town.

Here you can buy colorful kites and also ride horses.
