Met up with Alan over in JB custom. Was to meet at SG immigration but there were many people and not taking the risk to be stuck at JB custom, better meet over in JB. From the custom, we walked over to KotoRaya Mall.... wrong meeting place. Was to meet Benjy at the KotoRaya Bus Terminal. Anyway, he came over to meet us...so kind!
Off we went ... to Desaru Fruit Farm. We have been there before and we had to rely on GPS to get us there! So excited! Looking forward to a big feast of local produce!
It was a great disappointment! There was nothing! The tour would bring you to see the many fruit trees, but no plucking allowed. Fruit trees..... I grew up with them! M$18 to see the fruit trees..well...not for me! Benjy went up to ask about paying a price and eat the fruits to your heart's content and was told that they did not have enough time to prepare due to the large turnout of visitors! Obviously those pictures on the web were not true!
We travelled all the way there and had to make our way back to JB again!
Decided to go to opposite Angsana for lunch. Tucked in to Steamed Fish, steamed vege, tofu with minced meat, braised pig throttle and Bak Kut Teh! Good meal! Been there many times and still enjoy going there.
Danga Bay Mall was next. The old Ganga Bay seemed to be under renovation. The mall was and really nothing much to shop. The ice kacang advertisement looked good but do not be deceived. It's definitely not worth the money! We tried!
After all the walking around, we needed to pamper our feet. Went for foot reflex near Pelangi. Bumped into Gerald and gang at the foot reflex place. Did an hour's reflex ....so relaxing...... great !
Stopped over at Pelangi Mall.... bought some bread at Lavendar.... surprised to see Bamboo Charcoal bread.... so black..... but taste good!
Final stop is dinner! Went to Taman Gardens. So many choices.....finally decided on seafood. We had stingray, fish, kind prawn, vege and even carrot cake! Most importantly, I had my huge glass of Balonglong juice! Alan had 2 huge glasses of that! Satisfying meal!
Then, it's off to the causeway.... thank goodness, there was no jam. Very quickly, we arrived back into Singapore.
A long day....but enjoyable......
