KOTA KINABALU: Crocodile meat is fast gaining popularity among the Chinese who believe it has medicinal properties.
It’s a bestseller at the Equatorial Restaurant in Tanjung Aru Plaza, which obtains the meat from a crocodile farm.
"Our specialty is in the way we cook the meat so that it does not give a weird feeling to those eating it," said one of the restaurant directors Quek Siew Hau.
The restaurant has a permit from the Sabah Wildlife Department to serve crocodile meat and other game meat it buys from licensed suppliers.
The Tuaran crocodile farm has a slaughtering schedule endorsed by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.
"Demand for the meat here is quite impressive. The restaurant sells about 100kg every fortnight," said another director, Chin Tsen Ting.
