Farm Visit Part 1 ( Bottle Tree Park )

Was thinking of something different rather than going to shopping centre.. So I have decided on the Farm Visit.. Been searching all over the Internet for location & what kind of farm is there in Singapore.. To my surprise there is lots of farm locating in Singapore..! Pick 3 places.. First one is Pasir Ris Kids Kampung.. But luckily I called them up this morning.. To check if there is any school event that has already booked their place.. Yes is hooked till 4pm.. So only left 2 option on my list.. So below is the Farm that we visited today! ^^

First Stop : Bottle Tree Park

I have seen a few blogger that blog about this place when I'm searching thru google.. Went to read up & Seem quite interesting.. When we drive in there the place seem super quiet.. Must be because we went on a weekday.. Had our lunch at one of the restaurant there.. The dim sum is disappointing.. =.= But the porridge & Hor Fun tasted good.. So hubby just eat the porridge.. Went to walk around the fishing area.. Is hot but there's is cool breeze at the same time.. So not too bad..

First Area visited : Vegetable Farm

It grow a few kind of vegetable but I didn't know which is which.. Only saw papaya leave.. Lol.. So I assume they plant papaya too? Nothing much on the Vegetable Farm.. Then we head to Prawn Fishing side..


Second Area Visited: Longkang Fishing

Uncle is super nice.. He puts all the LongKang fish on the smallest pond for Benson.. Is safer for him too.. After struggling to guide him to catch the fish... Due to Benson height.. The way he fish is impossible.. He might drop into the pond... So We decided to put him into the pond instead.. Before doing that.. Hubby went to ask the uncle is it possible to put him in... He say yes... So there He goes.. Into the pond! Haha... The height of the water is only till Benson knee.. So is fine.. I joined in with him as well.. =) I think we r more excited than him.. Haha.. Hubby is super good at longkang fishing I can say.. He caught 90% of the fish ... After a while Benson start playing with the water.. Then we decided is enough of experiencing LongKang Fishing... Went to wash hands & our feet... While Hubby took the fish to packed & return the net.. Get Benson changed.. Then say Bye Bye to the fishes.. Benson feel a little sad.. But we said we will bring him back again..


Price : $10 unlimited time ( not sure is it due to weekdays..) because went I saw in the website it says $10 for 1hr..

Things include : One small fish plastic tank that u can bring home to put the fish in.. There's 3 colours to choose from.. We pick Red.. & a fishing net..

Note : The Fishing Net need to return to the uncle after u done with ur fishing....

Review? Ok here it goes..

The place give me a peaceful feeling.. Away from city... But we will still able to see Mrt ....

Playground : a bit dirty for my liking.. Because I see dry dog shit on the sand.. So didn't really let Benson play.. One more reason is because the sun is quite hot as we reached about 11.30am...

Food rating is 6/10.. But do note that there is 2 more restaurant there... So u might wanna try out too..

Fun? Yes it is quite a good experience for us as is our first time stepping into farm... click on this link for their website Bottle Tree Park

Benson's First Bird Park Trip

This is Benson's & Hubby first Bird Park trip ... My last trip to bird park was about 7 years ago when my nephew was 1.5 years old.. Haha... That's the reason why I'm excited for this trip to Bird Park.. The feeling is like I'm going to explore a new attraction in Singapore.. =) We set off at 10am to my mum stall at Whampoa market for fishball noodle & fish soup.. Then to Bird Park.. Needed to use our Imap to search our way there.. Because there was once we trying driving there but lost our way .. Changed our mind to Jurong point instead.. So finally we reached Bird Park! The weather is quite hot as we reached at about 11.30am.. Luckily Benson pram has those mini fan to keep him cool while he seated in his pram.... When we enter the Bird Park... First stop we will get to see the Penguin
Is super cooling inside .... Benson is amazed by the Penguin that is paddling in the water..

Then had photo shoot with parrot.. Very beautiful bird! We took the tram ride to Station 1 ... Feeding the Lory bird... Each feeding is $3.00 .. Very reasonable price for such a nice experience for us... I feed the bird while carrying Benson.. Because I don't wanna scare him on his first experience with the birds.. He is happy but suddenly a bird fly to his head.. Then he decided to run to Daddy.. =)

We visited all 3 station.. Took picture with the waterfall.. & went to see exhibition on What's their Nest is like.. & see the different size of eggs.. From a tiny to a very large one which is bigger than Benson head.. Lol... Enjoy the Aircon for a while there.. Then head out to see somemore birds.. Before ending our trip we took the tram ride for one last time.. We love it so much.. I'm sure we will be back again.. ^^
