Swiftlet City: One Of The Best Spot For Birdnest Visitors !!!



During my last trip to Kuala Selangor with Mr.A, last Tuesday, I got Mr.A to drop by at Sungai Rambai Swiftlet City Complex, about 5 kilometers from a small town called Batang Berjuntai, Selangor.

It was the best decision that I ever made.

Main reason being the birdhouse complex was operational and open for public viewing. The new complex was officially opened three days after CNY.

Met Mr Victor, the project Superintendent, and he was very kind enought to personally took us for a close view of the whole complex.

Usually the fee to enter the house is RM 6 but we were given the exception.

We entered the building from the front and on the ground floor there were some wild birds kept in cages. There were at least 10 types (not swiftlets).



On the second floor we were made to enter a dark room where we can view those wild swiftlets flying around in the complex. The room was with a special see thru glass and you can clearly see the inside of a birdhouse.

A very good treat to those who never have the opportunity to enter a swiftlet house before...

The complex was specially designed to attract tourist to view the birdnest industries in Malaysia. Syabas to Yu He management.

After the short tour we were taken to the other building at the back where birdnests were processed. They also served birdnest soup for you or your guests to try. Plain soup will cost you RM48 while laced with coconut is RM 50...


I am looking forward to have my vietnamese friends to visit the place on March 15th, 2008. Victor advised me to be there at 6.00 pm to 7.00pm to see those swiftlets coming back to roost....

Marvellous ..................

Dear Anonymous,

Go to Bantang Berjuntai (Bestari Jaya) town and move towards Kuala Selangor. It will be about 5 kilometers away on the left hand side.
