Miri Crocodile Farm cum Mini Zoo

Posted on December 26, 2016December 26, 2016 By sweet surrender No Comments on Miri Crocodile Farm cum Mini Zoo

Kuching has crocodile farm, Miri has crocodile farm too. It’s been around for over a decade.

I managed to visit it when I was there months back on a work assignment. My first time visiting Miri Crocodile Farm, it’s quite a distant from the city. You will definitely need to hire a transport to go there.

Here’s the address: Lot 164, 24Km Miri-Kuala Baram Road, 98000 Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia.


Just gonna let the photos do the talking. Lots of crocodiles in there. You can also find monkeys, birds, deers, snakes, bears and etc.


It’s all crocodiles down there!! Big and small. This is how up-close you can get to the crocodiles.


Some birds… Isn’t that couple looked so loving? Hehehe…


Cages where you can find all sort of birds including hornbills.


Left: guinea pigs
Right: Pigeonholes


There are a number of crocodile species available and one of the monkeys in the cage. Not to forget they have albino crocodile aka white crocodile. I was too lazy to walk all the way to the cage for it, it’s too hot in Miri.

Meanwhile, you also have the opportunity to feed the animals there, you have to buy the food for sure, not inclusive of the entrance fee. Not so sure how much was the fee though.


Ever see or taste crocodile meat bak kut teh? They prepared some for us to sample but no one dared to try. I have no idea how it tasted.


There’s also a pond with this huge fish! It’s so huge, the king of the pond I must say. Isn’t the colour beautiful?

In fact I have a lot more photos but guess what?!?! I forgot to transfer them from my camera to the computer and deleted it. These are photos from my phone.

Imperial Palace Hotel, Miri

Posted on December 19, 2016December 19, 2016 By sweet surrender No Comments on Imperial Palace Hotel, Miri

Imperial Palace Hotel, Miri, a business 4-star hotel under Imperial Group of Hotels. The hotel is approximately 25-minute drive from Miri Airport. You can easily find retail shops, food & beverage outlets, supermarket and departmental stores, and entertainment outlets around it.

Had an opportunity to stay in this hotel few months back because of a work assignment.

Can’t remember the room type I’m staying though. It is spacious enough. Was bigger than I expected.


There’s bathtub cum shower in the bathroom. The toiletries were rather complete even provided toothbrush and toothpaste for the convenient of guests. Towels, facial tissues, and toilet rolls were all folded in fan shape. I guess that’s their standard, it sure requires time and effort for the housekeeping staff to get everything arranged this way.


Left: The basic tea/coffee making facility.

Right: My breakfast. They have quite a variety of selections from local to western. Make your own coffee and tea at the beverage machines available.

Staff service was good. Overall, it’s not a bad hotel to stay when you are in Miri.

Address: Lot 1120, Block 7, Jalan Sehati, MCLD, 98000 Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia

Sarawak+Brunei Road Trip (18-25/11/2013) – Part 7

Posted on January 4, 2014January 13, 2014 By sweet surrender No Comments on Sarawak+Brunei Road Trip (18-25/11/2013) – Part 7

I’m sure you had enough of my big face that greeted you for the first few days of 2014 hahahaha… Let’s get back to business.

After Bintulu, we drove to Miri. It was about 2-3 hours drive. Not so bad but my nose and my head weren’t in very good shape already.

When we saw this, we were excited! Miri!! Finally! You no longer being greeted by teh-c-peng but blue sea, blue sky. The beach here is far better than the beach in Kuching. However, do bear in mind that Miri is very hot. You’ll easily get tanned or sunburned. Be sure to protect yourself from the notorious sun. I got so tanned few years back after going to Miri for 3 days 2 night. Well… It was also because I didn’t wear hat or use an umbrella and walked a lot.


You see these? You’re in Miri. The seahorse is Miri mascot. You can call it the seahorse city. As for the structure erected on a roundabout near Miri City Fan that looked like a type of hat from the native, I’m not sure what it’s called.


We stayed at Grand Palace Hotel. Was so “lucky”, being assigned to a smoking floor with smoking room! Wanted to request for room change but thought that it shouldn’t be a problem, don’t want to trouble anyone as everyone was very tired already. Guess what?!?! Suffered the whole night from stuffed nose and cough. Really cannot stay in smoking room. Two continuous nights in smoking room was enough to bring me down.


The hotel was good for a comfortable stay. It’s surrounded by many nightspots, eateries, and a hypermarket. However, I would prefer staying in the middle of the city such at Mega or Imperial rather than here, it’s a bit too far away from the city centre. Back then I stayed at Imperial Hotel, the location was quite good, I could walk to many places. What’s more, the awesome view of sunset and the sea. At Grand Palace, all we saw was buildings. A bit disappointing.


After check-in, we headed to Miri Resident Office for the flag off. Folks, don’t forget that it’s Visit Sarawak Year and Visit Malaysia Year this year.

Taken somewhere in the city. If you can locate an eatery called Yi Hah Hai Seafood (1st Floor, No. 892, Jalan Permaisuri, 98000, Miri, Sarawak), that’s where we took the photo.

Sunset mode.


Normal mode.


Love the sunset in Miri. We were in time to catch the sunset. Isn’t the colour amazing? If only we could go to the beach for it.


After taking photos of the sunset, we went to Tanjong Lobang for seafood. It’s the seafood place located on the beach. I think it’s called Taman Selera. The sea is just out there. You’ll get to enjoy the food and the sea breeze. It’s a good thing, it wasn’t raining. However, it sure got me very sticky at the end of the day. Will try my best to recall what were the food, didn’t take note and no idea of the price and which stall we ordered it from too. Was kind of sick to bother too actually. Stuffy and itchy nose coupled with headache and a bit of cough weren’t helping.


Left: Mutton satay, nice! Love it!! Despite being sick and not having good appetite, this sure woke my taste buds.

Right: Seriously, I have no idea what soup is this ;p


Left: Buttered prawn, not bad but didn’t eat much. Sigh… Being sick, resulted in the lack of appetite really couldn’t enjoy any food.

Right: Steamed fish.


Left: Calamari with sambal if not mistaken.

Right: Midin with belacan. Not impressed with it. Only tasted salty, maybe it was me being sick.


Left: Ok… Another unknown dish, I think it’s Nestum chicken. *shrug* Just simply guess, it was sweet though.

Right: Clam in soy sauce, didn’t eat much too.

Actually the food was overall all pretty good but due to me being a sick cat that time, I couldn’t enjoy it properly 🙁

After dinner, we called it a night and continued our journey to Brunei the next day.

Blogging since 2002. Anything before 2006 is no longer available. It is no longer on this server. Back then, I built my own blog and updated it using HTML. No database or anything. Only started blogging fully with a CMS in 2006. However, whatever was on the Internet will stay on the Internet. So... It should be still somewhere on the Internet. Then again... Why do you want to dig that far?
