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

Visit to Desaru Fruit Farm

Bee Talk

Durian Buffet Lunch (with bee hoon and curry chicken)

Chinese sit-down dinner

Supposed to assemble at 6am but i woke up only at 6am! Ran after my on-called cab which is being hijacked by a couple, fell & sprained my left foo. Thankfully, the coach driver waited for me & we depart at abt 6.25am!

Being an "official camera-woman" in the group, I actually forgot to put back my SD card into my camera after removing it to upload some photos on Saturday night! Sam loan me a card but it's only 16MB, which can only take a few pix.. my camera internal storage oso can take only abt 40pix.. so the rest of the pix are taken with my lousy iPhone 3Gs.. Didn't take much pix cos even my spare batt for iPhone oso can't tahan for too long & during dinner, my iPhone keeps dying on me! oh ya, forgot to take group pix~

*this has taught me a lesson - not only a spare batt is needed, an extra SD card is needed too!

Quite a fruitful trip afterall!
