“BEST! BEST! BEST giler.
I highly recommend this for family
outings.”
This is what I shared in my Instagram post
(yeah, it is with video, you should check-out the videos. Kinda funny if I may
say so myself).
I realized from my Twitter and Instagram
feedbacks, most of the questions asked are the entrance fee and activities
available. I guess I better keep this post as simple as possible and shared
those valuable details… as for my view of the place? My Instagram video post
says it all…. Hahahhahahaa….
Activity
- Tram ride (mono tram and tractors)
- Petting zoo (deer, rabbit, hedgehog and guinea pig)
- Herbal garden (150 species of herb)
- Orchard
- Harvesting vegetables activity
- Stingless bees farm (lebah kelulut)
- Mountain bike trail
- Rubber tapping activity
- Rumah Kampung with all the farm animals
Amazed?
Yeah! Me too.
Selangor Fruit Valley is develop to
encourage and build Selangor’s agro-tourism,
this 1,000-acre of Selangor Fruit Valley land covers rubber plantation,
infrastructure, PKPS managed land, agripreneur
program as well as main building and event spaces. There are more than 40
agricultural agripreneurs participated in SFV program by renting lots of at least
5 to 10 acres, I thought it was an interesting concept whereby those who don’t
have agriculture land can seek their help and rent the lots. I was made to
understand that they have to plant with tanaman kontan or cash crop, and the
agripreneurs are to commercialise their crops.
Being among the biggest fruit centres in
Malaysia, Selangor Fruit Valley also serves as an educational playground for
children as well as an experience centre for adults. This can been seen in
their Laman Herba or Herbs Garden (I enjoyed the most), rubber tapping activity
and learning about stingless bee, harvesting its honey, its anatomy and its
controlled environment to achieve the best honey quality among others.
Aside from this, I’ve learnt SFV has a bio
tech lab where tissues are being cultured, as well as seed bank. Not only that,
they also teaches public on how to culture a tissue to multiply shoots from a
single shoots. This training is liked by agripreneurs as it helps increase
their crops at a lower cost.
Nangchem! Is basically a hybrid of Nangka
(jackfruit) and Cempedak (a species of jackfruit/breadfruit). The taste and
texture is enhanced (similar to a cempedak) and it is available the whole year
round (just like a nangka).
Buah Mentega
Laman Herba or Herbs Garden. My favourite!
As I learnt that there is an herbs called misai kucing and lidah kucing (I just
learnt too) but there is no pokok ekor kucing (why???). There is a tree that is
called Thai apple (glam kan) and it is used for ‘mandi jenazah’ (google this yourself
*wink*), then there is this super rich tree – Janda Kaya and there’s also Janda
Berangan, yet it is no where near Janda Baik. Patawali is a plan that if you
drink it, you blood will taste bitter and mosquito simply hates it (read : you)
but it doesn’t take-away you sweet smile nor charm (ayam pick-up line tuh).
Gosh…. There is so many more, you just have to check-it out yourself!
The Petting Zoo is a bonus for the kids, as
there are rabbits, hedgehog and guidea pig for the kids to ‘pet’ and there’s more
at Rumah Kamping – kambing kacang (comei giler), turkey, babu/angsa (goose) and
duck. And then there is also the Deer Park. No, you can’t go in and play with
the deer.
Lunch? Food? Worry not, their cafeteria
food is simply yummeh (especially the sambal belancan). Oh yah! If you are
coming in a large group, do give them a call ahead of time as the entrance fee
is charge separately from the activities. You can also ‘ala crate’ you package,
to do so, call or email them (details below).
Hey! Teambuilding+nature concept can be arranged
as well, meeting room is available at a nominal fee. You are wondering on
accommodation right? I’ve asked them the same, camp site can be arranged with proper
shower room. Basic accommodation room is in their phase 2 plan, once it is
ready, we can all stay there. YEAY!
