As we entered our room, I was amazed by the stunning view of the city. The room was spacious, well-decorated, and had all the amenities one could ask for. From the fluffy pillows to the comfortable bed, everything seemed perfect.

Throughout our stay, we indulged in the delicious local cuisine at the hotel's restaurant and took advantage of their top-notch facilities, including the gym and swimming pool.

As our staycation came to an end, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness. I was sad to leave the comfortable beds, the delicious food, and most of all, the amazing staff who made our stay truly unforgettable.

This place is an excellent place for guests to enjoy delicious meals. It is a contemporary restaurant that offers an extensive buffet breakfast, à la carte lunch, and dinner menus. The restaurant serves a wide variety of local and international cuisine, including Western, Asian, and fusion dishes.

The hotel understands that kids have different preferences when it comes to food, and they try to cater to those preferences by offering a variety of options.

Indeed, the buffet-licious dinner is truly a gastronomic experience that you don't want to miss out on.

Part of their buffet is also their Ais Batu Campur, or ABC for short. This dessert is a popular Malaysian shaved ice dessert that typically consists of shaved ice, sweetened syrups, and various toppings such as red beans, corn, and jelly. 

Satay, on the other hand, is a popular Southeast Asian dish that is traditionally made with skewered chunks of meat that are grilled over an open flame. The meat is usually marinated in a mixture of spices and herbs, which gives it a delicious flavor. 

Capri by Fraser Johor Bahru offers a tasty satay that is made with succulent chicken pieces that are infused with lemongrass, turmeric, and other spices. The satay is served with a side of peanut sauce, which adds a creamy, nutty flavor to the dish.

Moving on to the main course, the live cooking stations were a treat to watch. The chefs were extremely skilled and cooked the food to perfection. The Indian section was a personal favorite of mine, and the chicken biryani was one of the best I've had in a while.

If you're looking for a weekend dinner that's worth every penny, then Caprilicious of Capri by Fraser in Johor Bahru is the place to be. The buffet-licious dinner is truly a gastronomic experience that you don't want to miss out on. I know I'll definitely be back for more, and I hope to see you here too.

This sanctuary, also known as Rama Rama dan Reptilia Melaka is located in Ayer Keroh, Melaka. It was established in 1991 and spans about 11 hectares of jungle that provide a suitable habitat for the various animals and insects that call this attraction and educational park home.

Let’s meet Ms Khairiyyah, one of the animal attendants here who brief us on where and what animals to feed with the animal feeding pockets that we had  purchased.

Our next activity was to feed the Sulcata tortoise, and we were given a demonstration on how to do it properly. At first, my son was a bit scared, but I helped him overcome his fear and he ended up enjoying it.

These tortoises are quite large and would be loved by the children. After feeding them, we explored more of the park's fascinating creatures.

We were introduced to the Giant Malayan Stick insect, which is the longest walking stick insect in the park. The female insect is longer than the male and can reach up to 555 millimeters in length, including their fully extended legs.

Lady Amherst pheasant is also one of the most striking birds on the planet and they can actually fly but prefers to run. They spend more time on the ground, looking for food, but roost in the trees at night.

Let’s meet this majestic Indian Peacock. They are known for their impressive 25-year lifespan and are believed to have originated in Sri Lanka. Its stunning long feathers, called trains, are attached to its back and are even longer than its body!

Check out the blue-tongued skink, whose unique tongue can deform and produce thick mucus to catch its prey.

This is Smith’s Green-eyed Grecko. This originated in Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia, Thailand, and Burma. This specie has a large claw to grasp onto rough tree trunks.

These are Neon Day Grecko. They are rare and were only discovered in 1990. They are found in the Northeast Island of Madagascar. The dominant female of this especially actually prevents another female around her area from breeding.

This is Gargoyle Grecko. They are found in New Caledonia. This specie often shreds its own skin not only giving them extra nutrients but also helping hide evidence of their presence from predators. This is a crocodile skink. It is found in New Guinea. This specie usually stays in a tropical rainforest and they tend to freeze and play dead when handled and startled.

We also check out their Albino Racoon which is one of the newest attractions here. It is estimated that 1 in 10,000 newly born raccoons are born with albinism.  Sad to say that when we visited this place, their raccoon is resting.

Now let’s go to their butterfly section. It is located in a close door garden and we can see lots and lots of butterflies flying around.

Guests are advised to walk slowly along this area to avoid stepping on any butterflies along the walkway.

After the butterfly garden, we went deeper inside this park and we saw this Malayan Horned frog which is found around the southern part of Thailand, Peninsula Malaysia, Singapore, Sumatra, and Borneo.

Part of the attraction inside this place is their swan lake where we can see these beautiful black swans happily swimming inside this lake. By the way, these black swans are a native of Australia.

Part of the lake is also their fish section where we can have the chance to feed their koi. This activity for us was really relaxing. There are available benches around the area to just relax while the kids are happily feeding these fish.

After feeding the fish, we also tried feeding their emus. This is an available animal attendant to assist you when feeding this emu. My son loves feeding them actually.

Right after feeding these emus, we went to their Kampung Buaya area for the kids to see them in real life and insisted on just seeing them from illustration books. Their crocodiles are really well fed and most of them are fat.

They also have a display of their crocodile eggs and baby crocodiles. These are separated from adults to avoid being eaten by the big ones.

The other side of this crocodile area is where we can see these big alligators relaxing with a few fish inside their clean pool. The kids are very excited indeed.

Next up is their pig-nosed turtle. This turtle specie is found in Northern Australia and south of New Guinea with a life span of about 20-30 tears.

Next up is their snake and phyton area where we can see various species of snakes. They also have their king cobra, anaconda, and many more. I also had the chance to experience entering a snake garden where the place I sounded by about 8 sleeping snakes. Very challenging indeed.

Next up is some of their reptiles and other insect living in low temperature like this Dyeing poison dart frogs, and green tree snails which love to feed on fungi, lichens, and detritus.

Part of this section is also where we can see some of their giant spiders. This is Brazilian Salmon Pink Bird eater which is known as a terrestrial tarantula and is the world's 4^th largest tarantula.

These specials are properly placed separately in this section.

Right after this section is their butterfly museum where we were able to check out the largest butterfly in the world.

Last but not least, this journey ended up at their souvenir shop where we can see various displays of aquariums inspired by nature which is a good remembrance to bring back home after a long journey to this educational butterfly and reptile sanctuary here in Melaka.

This hotel is about 20 minutes five away from the city center of Johor Bahru and also about 15 minutes to the Second Link Tuas going to Singapore.

Chef Yap, the executive Chef of the Hotel mentioned that their buffet highlights this year will be purely focusing on Malay Traditional dishes suitable for this Ramadan Buffet. 

They also have this Nasi Basmathi Putih, Nasi Ulam topped with Kerepok, as well as nasi Basmati Briyani.

Chef yap has also brought us to their grilling area we can try their barbeque whole lamb.

This is their Satay, one of my favorites, and is also available in this buffet. It is grilled on the spot hence you can really smell the satay taste from the smoke out from the grilling pan. They have beef and chicken satay accompanied with condiments as well.

Guest would also be happy with their fresh Durian that is all the way from Melaka. This durian will be served from 8 PM onwards during this buffet period.

Part of this buffet is also their assorted local desserts that are arranged properly for everyone to easily take it.
