1-Day Desaru Trip (vi) - Firefly Cruise

Last part of the 1-Day Desaru trip - Firefly Cruise, which is something that I look forward to!

Before cruising to the place to watch Firefly, we were being cruised to watch 燕子!

We then proceed deeper to watch Firefly.

I was quite disappointed of the outcome cos I didn't really see a lot of Fireflies around & due to bright moonlight, the entire area was not dark enough to be able to catch a nice Fireflies scene, but it was still a rather pleasant ride on the cruise. No pictures of the Fireflies cos I practically can't see anything from my camera LCD!

1-Day Desaru (iv) - Fruit Farm

Right after lunch, we were brought to the Fruit Farm. Entrance fee is at own expense, Sam decided to give it a miss cos we actually went there about 2 years ago. As it was Evelyn's first time, I decided to join her in touring the Fruit Farm. Wendy also joined us cos she don't wanna sit around & do nothing while waiting for us as the guided tour is about an hour long.

Juices were sold at the retail shop outside the Fruit Farm. ooh~~ how I miss the Bua-Longlong drink! Sam bought the Soursoap drink

Can you remember these bubble gums? Unfortunately, these are banned in Singapore!

Hopped on buggy for a 5min ride into the farm

Here you can find lots of seasonal & non-seasonal fruits, and let's take a look at some of them, including some vegetables & herds

Breadfruit

Dragonfruit

Cempedak

Ambrella (Bua Longlong)

Mata Kuching - Another type of Longan

Can't remember what is this, but I think is Coffee Tree

Bitter Melon

Thousand Fingers Banana

Passionfruit

Lemongrass

Roselle Plant

Stevia (Sweet Leaf Plant) - some use this as a natural sweetener in place of sugar

There's also a small garden in the middle of the fruit farm

Walking along the stretch where they have Water Apple (Jambu) at both sides

There's a Mini Zoo in the Fruit Farm too!

Evelyn super happy cos she loves rabbit!

Rabbits here are cheap! RM$15 for 1, RM$20 for a pair!

haha.. Evelyn also loves the fat lazy Chicken!

meh~~~~~~ last shot of the animals before leaving the farm

The guided tour ended with a packet of complimentary mixed fruits

1-Day Desaru (v) - KIP Mart & 新美都冷气酒楼

Free & Easy shopping at a local Wet/Dry Market + Shopping Mall (KIP Mart) after visiting the Fruit Farm

The wet market - I'm pretty surprise that the floor of their wet market is DRY & there isn't fishy smell. Most of the items for sale are also displayed nicely!

Egg distributor. Quail eggs here are cheap! 3 bags of about 20-30pc cost only RM$10. Unfortunately, no eggs are allowed to bring in to Singapore

Vegetables at vegetable stall are also very organized

The dried stuff stall

Beautifully organized fruit stall. The guy in green even turn around & pose when he saw me taking picture of the stall

The girl behind the Keropok stall also smile to the camera when I'm snapping a picture of the stall

woohoo~~ Love these Kaya Balls~~ The owner even gave us 2pc extra! heehee

After shopping, we were brought to 新美都冷气酒楼 New Mui Tou Restaurant for dinner.

13 of us were again bring squeezed into a table, but this time it was quite bad! The food portion was pretty small & it's like you only get 1 or 2 piece of item per dish! The driver even told us to eat slowly! Like how? @_@
