We went on this trip as we saw a Groupon offer, $68 which includes Desaru fruit farm, Ostrich farm, Lobster meal, firefly tour. On the day itself, I woke up at 4 plus, went to redhill and took a taxi to go to people's park for the bus. Arriving at Malaysia, our first stop was a dirty, disgusting coffee shop. I don't dare to eat as the place seem rather unhygienic, also the food doesn't seem nice. However, behind the table, there is a retro backdrop. Took a lot of photos that have 复古情怀 because of the 复古backdrop. Actually not really 复古but废弃的感觉.We stop by at a Chocolate shop where the tour guide said how good the chocolate is and how different it is from those in the supermarket. Yes, the price is indeed different, and the special tomato chocolate is not bad, but the chocolates still taste like those from supermarket.

Then its the fruit farm. Very disappointing. I thought it would be filled of fruits and the tour guide will pluck some fruits during the tour for us to taste. But it is nothing like that. It is just a small farm with a few fruits. So they use the reason its not the season, but they never even grow a lot which means if its the season, we also won't get to see them. They should have brought us to the farm where they grow fruits to sell. There is a mini animal farm inside the fruit farm where we get to go inside the rabbit area and carry them, which is also the best part of the whole fruit tour.After which is the a fruit buffet which is disappointing too! Super small variety of fruits, and the food sucks. Bought a fruit called 黄金果. Got to try it there, it taste damn nice, but the one we bought isn't exactly sweet, but I had guess so as they would surely choose those sweet ones for us to taste so that we will buy. I think its a special type of honeydew.

During the Ostrich farm tour, its super hot, but that doesn't spoil my mood. After the explanation, its Ostrich feeding and I went crazy over it. Then we got to see a 1 day old Ostrich and buy Ostrich egg and Ostrich meat. I think the egg looks pretty nice with a light bulb installed inside and some drawings paint onto it, but its very very expansive, one egg cost $20 and if you plan to add drawings or light, it cost over hundred dollars! Papa also bought some
Ostrich satay, did not taste as weird as I expected.

The lobster meal is the most disappointing of all.The itinerary state that we will be having 龙虾大餐 for dinner. But ends up to be in a coffee shop which has a kitchen that looks like the one in the movie 童眼and the person cutting meat also resemble the scene in that movie. The food sucks and the lobster only appear once and its super small. But $68 is like that.

The firefly tour is the part that I like the most! We are lucky because if we are a bit later, it will start raining and the fireflies would hide itself and we won't be able to see them. We boarded the boat and saw the fireflies on the trees. Looks like Christmas tree with sliver lighting. Some even flew in and one stopped on papa's head, everyone turned to look at him at that moment. Some people also bought孔明灯before boarding the bus but we didn't. We tried before in Taiwan.

Something funny! Seating beside me and qiqi on the bus is a couple. I call them 恩爱夫妻,me and qiqi kept on imitating the way they hold their hand while sleeping on the bus. Every time they sleep, they would hold hands in different ways.
