3)The Fantabulous Desaru Fruit Farm!

11.14 am
 After around two hours of waiting, we reached our first destination , The Desaru Fruit Farm. We were amazed by the beauty of nature!

This is Sis Ina!! She knows almost
EVERYTHING
about the plants there...

We then knew how exactly the plants were being planted and their growth conditions thanks to our tour guide, sis ina! We gazed at the beauty with awe as we rarely see these ‘kampong’-like farms in Singapore…

Out of all the plants there, there were two plants that caught our attention and are on our top list. 

First is the "Orthosiphon Aristatus" or known as “Pokok Misai Kucing” in Malay. 

ORTHOSIPHON ARISTATUS

It is believed to have anti-allergic, anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties. It is used as a remedy for diabetes, kidney stones and nephritis.

The second one is the Roselle plant.

ROSELLE!! SWEET~!!

Not only being used for medical purposes, but also it can be made into a juice. This plant is also the main ingredient of the “Ribena” juice and is definitely delicious! ^^,

We then reached to the most exciting part of the Fruit Farm, “The Mini Animal Zoo”! Although it is not as big as a normal zoo, but still, the animals are super cute!!! Especially the bunnies and goats!

 We had a little hard time though at the goats’ pen as it smelled!@_@

For the sake of our blog, we beared with it and took a closer look at them.

Look at the goats!!

Right after having a tour under the scorching sun and a talk regarding honey, our stomachs were growling and it’s time for the most favourite part, LUNCH!

 Lots of dishes and a variety of fruits were laid out on the table. 

EXHIBITION REGARDING HONEY. WE GOT THE CHANCE TO TASTE IT AND IT WAS SUPER DELICIOUS!!!

 We were also served with lemon juice (which was really sour).Maybe it was because the juice was freshly squeezed from the fruit itself. Surprisingly we saw a boy going for a second round of that juice! Only one word came trough our mind that time, "WOW..."

LUNCH!LUNCH!LUNCH!LUNCH!LUNCH!LUNCH!LUNCH!LUNCH!LUNCH!

Those were the EXTREMELY-sour lemon juice~  (>.<)
