Last friday went to 3 farms in Lim Cho Kang with auntie , uncle , yan ting, my cousin and mum . On the way there, I finally know where NTU/NIE is at. The road we are diving on is part - time runway for SAF aeroplanes but mostly used as a road. We also passed by the Civil Defence Training centre and SAF training camp i think . Went to Bolloywood farm first. The farm was opened by a rich businessman and his wife after retiring. There we saw a lot of different plants or trees growth by them. Bananas trees , BAlasm, Lime tree, 4'0 clock tree and lots more , for just entrance fee $2 . For those people who are lovers of mother nature , you can go there. But for me, Although it is fine but I simply don't like the insects on the ground while walking to view the plants. Ants, spiders ...
ANd the sun is scorching hot such that we had to held on to an umbrella or wear a hat .
After the viewing , we ate at the small restaurant. The food there are home-grow and are organic. I like the vegetables served with ' balamcham' .Not too spicy but taste great. The salad of the day- papaya salad was great too. Can't stop eating after one mouthspoon. The aloe vera drink was quite cooling. They also sold pandan leaves , lime , lemon , bananas ( all home -grow) .
The next farm we went to was the Hay-daires farm. They were about to close when we arrived so only left 5 minutes to go visiting the goats. The older goats or rather adults goats were all resting or slow walking around. But the baby goats (known as KID ) was running about , galloping and going 'mee' A few seemed hungry though , wanting to eat so we just pick up some of the hays left on the ground for them.
The third farm we went to was the frog farm. There we saw a lot of 'tian ji' and a few frogs. Only different is that 'tian ji ' can be eaten while frogs can't. Also saw baby tapoles and soon to be frogs .
At the end, mum and auntie each bought 4 'tian ji' at $10. Much cheaper than outside.
Dreams ended @ --*9:39 AM*--
