How about handpicking the freshest and tastiest mangosteen, duku langsat and opening some durian kampung with surprising flavours, all chemical free in a pristine environment? Soon you can do this at Pamplemosses farm in Bukit Tinggi, Pahang, just an hour + drive away from the city centre.
What a fun day! All the children had loads of fun and learned so much from the farm outing. The best part was they had chance to interact with the animals at the farm, collect and wash duck eggs in the stream, feed the pony, and enjoyed roti bakar with duck egg kaya, croissant and pasture-raised soft boiled eggs for breakfast, and a kampung style lunch with nasi Ulam, ketupat palas with duck rendang, chicken curry, vegetable curry and kuah kacang, and fresh-fried duck egg Char Kuey Teow, also spread of local fruits, frozen organic durian and agar agar Santan Gula Melaka. I was told most of the children knocked out when they got home, or slept early and soundly last night. Kids were surely the happiest! (Chicken and duck from the farm).
What a fun day Pt 2 at Pamplemosses Farm today, lunch was simple but so beyond delicious! Grilled milk fish, organic red corn, okra, eggplant by the river, together with some ketupat palas with kuah kacang (not in video), and earlier on we had some baked curry puffs and banana walnut cake for breakfast, and chargrilled toast with butter and duck egg kaya (in previous Pt1 video). We had fun picking some fresh duku langsat from the tree, so sweet!
Paradise on earth Pt 1. Another blast! Great weather, cooling temperature, awesome company, delicious food, fresh fruits from orchard. What else to ask for? A track up Kesyar Falls in Bukit Tinggi.
What a blast! Truly farm to table, fresh from the farm to our table and tummies! Red sweet corn, green chilies, okra/ladies fingers, eggplant, kangkung/morning glory and torch ginger flowers/bunga kantan (for making syrup in our drink) from Mr Red Corn Farm and their neighbours this morning. Had a simple Japanese grill and local favourites lunch but really the best flavours! Thank you Gideon and team for having us! Watch this space for more farm-related events and collaborations in November!
What a fun day it was! Out and about in a pristine piece of land with no noise or air pollution, just pure bliss in nature with animals, forest, streams, plants and good food. Thank you everyone for coming and be part of the small expedition! Next outing will be on October 8, stay tuned! Photo credits go to Muna and Angel.
