Kranji Farm Tour

Since the weather on Sunday was pretty good, we set off to the Kranji Countryside in the morning for a quick adventure

Our first stop was the Hausmann Marketing Aquarium. And there are really many different species of fishes that we have not seen before.

See the albino eel

And not sure what is the name of this species .... but look like some dragon-like fish


The electric catfish !!!

And the famous Arapaima !!! Really BIG !!!

The Pacu ... big as well


The children novice fishing pond. Maybe will try that the next time when we have more time to spare

Feeding the turtles .... and see how they rushed to get the food

And this baby turtle was struggling really hard to climb up the rock .... and persistence finally paid off

Feeding the koi next







Next stop was the Jurong Frog Farm. As we entered the farm, there were very nice paintings on the walls

Errr ... why do frogs need a swimming float ??? Thought even tadpoles can swim even without any aid ???

Daddy and Mummy tried to explain to me what this proverb means ... but I just catch no ball

Princess and the Frog Prince .....

Yeeks !!! I don't want to be kissed by the frog prince !!!
After visiting the Jurong Frog Farm, we went to the Fireflies Health Farm, which grows and sells organic vegetables. Yes, you got that right ... organic watermelon. Just that they are really tiny !!! Diameter about 15-20 cm at the most

Organic brinjal. Tiny as well

See how other organic vegetables are grown here ... and I can vouch they are indeed organic .... many holes on some of the leaves !!!!
My favourite 小白菜
Daddy and Mummy bought some organic vegetables home. And they are really not that expensive (unless you buy those organic vegetables that they import from overseas). For those that they grow in their farm, they are just say 20-30% more expensive (eg. a big packet of no-organic Yili 小白菜 costs about $1.40 in NTUC, while the same size organic 小白菜 cost about $2)

We moved on to our last destination, which is the Hay's Dairies (Goat Farm). Wanted so much to touch the goats .... but why don't they allow us to touch the goats now ?? They allowed that many many years back, when I was still a little toddler !!!

Goat drinking water ....

Scientifically proven .... and the person in-charge said we cannot mix goat's milk and cow's milk together, otherwise will result in diarrhea. This is because goat's milk is alkaline (similar to mother's milk) while cow's milk is acidic. Hmmm ... so if I mix the 2 together, what kind of salts do I form in my tummy

Process used to milk the goats !!!

All the milk is pumped to this container, to be further processed and sterilized

Bought some goat's milk back .... nicely packed in a styrofoam box filled with ice to ensure that the milk is chilled. Tried the chocolate flavoured goat's milk after my afternoon nap and I simply love it !!!

Guess we will visit the Fireflies and Hay Dairies more often in future
