Seriously can't wait for my one month break......Break away!!!!

Smyrna - Part 5 ...

Cold Water Quest I believe has the least number of stuffs on display but they have unique fishes...I some more thought it will be cold inside but looks like only the water is cold...How disappointed!

Photobucket

They also have a section for touch and feel where they display a lot of sea urchin's and what not.

Photobucket

I like the feeling of this thing. I don't know what it is called. It's really soft and nice the feeling of it. I have touched a few before but not as huge as this.

Photobucket

Crabs I like! But this one looks exceptionally brutal don't you think? It's huge and it looks nasty. I think its called Japanese Spider Crab or something.

Photobucket

Watch out kid! May bite your head off!
Photobucket

Jess, if I can dedicate the aquarium, I wanna dedicate this one to you. It's the huge-est! I mean, the biggest :P They have plenty of white belugas inside!!!

Photobucket

I think this picture will do more justice on the size of the aquarium!

Photobucket

Continue next post....(These days putting up post desperately in an act to save my dying blog traffic....)

Smyrna - Part 4 ...

When I first got to the entrance, a lot of people was standing there. I figured this must be some serious attraction that is so pack until people can't even move in. River Scout...Are they going to have a river in there? Got rides?

Photobucket

Jes, large aquarium you wan? Filled with Discus! The Discus are one of many beautiful fishes from the Amazon River in South America. Hm...I do know something about fishes....

Photobucket

African Cichlids are mostly mouth brooders. The female protect the eggs in their mouths until hatched. Again, proven I do more than just staring at the fishes like the kid!

Photobucket

And if you think the aquariums are still small, look at that! On top of the head also got fish okay! Everywhere you look also is fish! You don't get this elsewhere. And this is not those tunnel where you have a conveyor belt for you to stand on. We're not even there yet!

Photobucket

This is the first time I actually see an alligator this close, so I was pretty stunned like this kid. Plus, I can actually see what's above the water and what's below. Pretty cool.

Photobucket

Some fish that can produce electricity....

Photobucket

So is this...but I remember the name of this fish. I think they call it elephant fish or something. No joke! I remember cos it has the trunk...

Photobucket

Piranha's I think.....They don't look that scary actually....

Photobucket

Stay tuned for ColdWater Quest next!

Smyrna - Part 3 (For Jessica) ...

*I've continue this post like I promised...more to come :)

There was another small pool for touching sea creatures not too far from here. In this pool, we have a bunch of sea urchins, sea cucumbers, starfishes etc that are pretty similar to that of underwater world. I've touched them before.

Photobucket

But there was one that left me feeling pretty guilty. I don't know if I like them better this way....

Photobucket

Or this way (Duyong)....

I know...damn sadistic right? Swear I will not eat them again..... :|

Really didn't know what is so fun about the next section...I mean, it's just prawns...unless kid's these days really have never seen a real fish before and assume that fishes that are swimming in the sea are exactly those that is sandwich between the breads in their Filet-O-Fish...If you laugh, then tell me what's the difference between a white and a brown shrimp!

Photobucket

Weird though, I don't think its sadistic eating prawns :P

Then there was the familiar face. Seriously, I think you'll find the lion fish in any marine parks. Like any......It's an interesting fish but also a common one I suppose.

Photobucket

And here's the stupidest section in the entire marine park. A freaking boat like playground. Frankly, after paying that kind of money, I will never forgive my kid if he spends hours here... I mean, what the hell? What is this thing doing here? Can you comprehend?

Photobucket

Finally, geico (some famous car insurance company in the US), sponsored some gecko's just because that's their mascot...Great view from behind, ladies :)

Photobucket

Next up, the River Scout!


TheStar and me......

I love taking random pictures. So random that most of the time, when I wanna shoot a picture, my camera is never with me. Luckily for my Sony Ericsson K800 that I have bought sometime back and never wanted to change, I manage to snap some acceptable pictures....

At times, I put it up The Star for fun. Try and see my luck if I can earn that RM50 and take all my readers on a trip to.....well, wherever RM50 can get us to :P
But often, I don't get lucky enough to win it. Or shall I say, I NEVER WON IT!

Sometime back, I manage take a picture of a cat aiming for a fish at a market in Malacca. I sent it to the star, and it made it to the papers but didn't take the winning spot...I blogged about it here. The original picture can be found here. Can't believe I lost to a freaking leg!

And yet again a few weeks ago I posted another picture. Didn't expect it to make it to the papers again and lost!


This time lost to a stupid policeman! Get out!!!!



Food I heart.............!!!!!!!

Out of all my posts on seafood, I kinda left out one which I really heart but have never blogged about it.....Probably because I always do not have my camera with me. In fact, it made it into my list of cravings at one time when I was still in Australia (here)!

Not this time! I have my camera with me! Everyone was pretty hungry by the time we reached cos of the massive jam heading down to Summit area....what the fish man....it was like crazy crazy jam....from holiday villa, i took a nap (too tired after swimming...) and when i woke up like some half an hour later, we just only passed the damn roundabout!

Anyway, the food was good, no doubt...not because we were extra hungry or anything like...We had one big plate of my favorite 'Sang Har Meen'....What is 'Sang Har' btw? Its definitely not 'live prawns' because otherwise everything will be Sang Har also.... But I really really like this...and when I ask the guy if I can have 4 prawns instead of 3 for 6 people, he babbled some stuff which we have no intention of hearing so, whatever!!!!!!!!!!!! Just bring the food already!

Photobucket

Damn hungry already where got time to listen to the explanations!

Then the bread came....It looks damn appetizing. But of course, the bread is nothing without that bowl of sauce right behind it. They used to charge for additional sauce! Seriously don't know if the bread is appetizer or dessert because you find yourself eating it at the beginning and also after you finish all the crabs...

Photobucket

And finally, the most awaited dish of the day, the butter crabs! Damn, my mouth is watering while I am blogging this. It is the best best best way of cooking crabs! We have 6 people on the table and waiter asked if 3 crabs would be enough....you say?

Photobucket

Of course not enough lar! 6 people = 6 crabs lar at least! If not enough I will tambah some more.... The regular family really take the number of heads divide by 2 to order the number of crabs one meh?

Photobucket

Satisfying dinner! Wanna go again!
