Are you fancy of exotic food?

 

 

Are you a tourist who like to hunt for special food whenever you tour a new place? I heard you can eat all kinds of food in certain Asean countries, never in my mind that you can also find exotic food in Malaysia.

Are you fancy exotic food such as crocodile meat?  I decided to take relax and walk around on my 5th day of my vocation at Kota Kinabalu, Sabahy. I went to a 1 year old 1Borneo Complex and decided to look around all the shops in the complex. There are many commonalities between the shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur and this new complex. I could see common branded outlets  such as Parkson, Giant, Mcdonald, KFC, local food court, boutique shop etc. On the basement floor, I notice a signboard indicated crocodile meat. Out of curiosity, I followed the sign which lead me to the basement parking lot. Just at the entrance to the parking lot, there is a shop with big sign indicated the crocodile meat.

For a while, I could not believe my eyes, this shop sells crocodile meat openly and I believed the owner has license for it.

I saw there are several display painted one side of the wall, include CNN news cutout. Wow! it claimed that crocodile meat is a health food that can cure or prevent certain illness.  More from the video, be patient, it takes about 9 minutes.

Peking duck Preparation

Have you eat Peking duck in a Chinese Restaurant before?  Do you know you eat only the skin? not with the meat? What? Eat only the skin? and pay for $30 for a bird?  You must be kidding? NO, I AM NOT.  but it is yummy !!!

I happen to take my dinner at a Chinese Restaurant at Nexus Golf Resort Karambunai, my next table customer ordered a Peking Duck. And I asked permission from the waitress if I can video tape the process of cutting up the bird. She allowed me to do so. This video clip is a bit long as it it about the time taken to peel the skin off the bird.  Enjoy the video
