On our way back from our homestay at Johor Lama, we dropped by this leisure park for our next outing. 

The road leading the leisure was bumpy and yellow soil roads passing thru the oil palm plantations....so prepare for a car wash after the visit.

Since there's plenty of monkeys around so beware if any visitors whom carrying things as they might snatch your belongings. Just becareful as they're wild monkeys and not under the leisure parks responsibility.

Next, we are going over to the fish cage area for fish feeding and viewings. Fish food/pellet are sold RM1 at the entrance.

Wow, the fish cage nets are sure heavy to pull up luckily the park attendant helps to pull the strings up for us to view the fishes in the cage. There's around 12 cages in total. Every fish cages contains different type of fishes so customers can order fresh fish for their meal in their inhouse restaurant. Since they've got their own restaurant and we are hungry and thirsty so let'head for our lunch.

Photobucket
The view of their inhouse restaurant. Nice setups....

Photobucket
We ordered simple and fast cooking food for our hungry tummy. For that we ordered 7x ice kacangs at RM2.50 each, 5x normal fried rice at RM4.50 each, 3x egg fried rice at RM6.00 each and drinks. Simple and good which is enough to fill up our tummy and thirst from the sun.

Conclusions:
Entrance Fee: RM2 per Adult and RM1 per children.
Park setup : Good and above average
Friendliness : Very good (Park attendant).
Cleanliness : 4/5
Food : Very average 3/5
Overall : 3.5 as the area is not big otherwise it can turn into a theme park.
