Go BackVisitors to the Cocoa Village can get to walk around and explore the plantation, getting to know the cocoa trees up close, viewing the pods and flowers. It is advisable to wear long sleeve shirts and to bring along mosquito repellant.
There is also a refreshment kiosk, called the Cocoa House, built at a scenic viewpoint. From here, guests can sip cocoa while enjoying the view of Tawau. The menu includes all types of items made with cocoa, including cocoa noodle, cocoa porridge, even cocoa prawn roll.
In addition to the Teck Guan Cocoa Village, visitors can also go to the Teck Guan Cocoa Museum, opened in 2004, is said to be the only cocoa museum in the country. The museum is located within the premises of Majulah Koko, the cocoa factory also owned by the Teck Guan Group. It is located at Tanjung Batu Laut, on the west side of Tawau (see map). Here, visitors get a history of cocoa plantation in Malaysia. The wall charts show the development of the industry. At the mini auditorium, video screenings provide a 20-minute documentary on cocoa processing. Adjacent to the museum is the cocoa processing plant where visitors can see how the cocoa is processed.
The Teck Guan Cocoa Village is located at a different part of town from the Teck Guan Cocoa Museum. Please contact the Teck Guan Cocoa Village and Teck Guan Cocoa Museum to plan your visit, as they are not able to accept walk-in guests who arrive unannounced.

About this website
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
