After our light lunch, I took a drive with my friend, turning right at a traffic light to Ampang new village, this time exploring it on my own. I was shown once by my foodie friends recently and I am glad that I could find my way to where the pomelo plantations are. Actually it was quite easy... there are two ways to go in, one from Ampang N/V and another way from Tambun, the road just next to the police station.
For the first time in history, I made a stop at this Go Chin Pomelo Nature Park where the pomeloes are planted.
Giant Pomeloes on the wall.....
See what I mean?
Beside the signboard, the shop displaying the fruits.....
But unfortunately this is not the pomelo season yet....
Thus the fruits are a bit expensive now....
We asked for permission to go into the nature park...
The staff gladly approved and showed us the way in...
For plant lovers, this is the place to linger awhile longer.....
As for me, I just took a few pictures on the left....
And on my right.... fruits were still bearing...
This is a pomelo tree...
Indeed it is not the season as yet....
There are some in the process of ripening, I guess....
Hang-me-down.....
One to show that I touched the pomeloes for the first time...
Before we left, we bought something...
Not pomeloes but Peanuts!!
No kidding....
.
GOCHIN In Tambun, we will see you again next time!!
When is the season? Would like to go there when in season.
ReplyDeleteIn about a month if not mistaken...
DeleteGreat find! I would love to visit too. I may buy other fruits besides pomeloes.
ReplyDeleteNext time we go, Ya!!
DeleteWei...cheap moe? I see u in Aug ok. ��
ReplyDeleteAlright, deal!!
DeleteDon't think i seen a pomelo tree before...
ReplyDeleteMe too until that day!
DeleteI guess during CNY, pameloes would be in a big demand and slightly cheaper....
ReplyDeletePeanuts?? Nice??
Peanuts I like the fisherman brand only... nowadays groundnuts also not cheap...
DeleteNo venture into food but instead fruits. I like pameloes with sweet sour taste & flesh is reddish in colour than the transparent white colour flesh. Nice outing.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like sour pomeloes too but sweet ones are still a preference...
DeleteGot buy or not ?
ReplyDeleteTak dak..cos still expensive..
DeleteLooks interesting! Though I don't really like pomelo but a trip to the farm can be quite fun also la, right?
ReplyDeleteYes, nice to look at the fruits hanging on the trees...

ReplyDeleteThis post brings me memories when I made my first trip to see pomelo trees when I was a small kid. I enjoyed running all over the farm and got lost.
ReplyDeleteThese days visitors to KL often brought me pomeloes!! I feel so blessed.
**hint**. **hint**
hehehee... You are blessed no doubt about that!
DeleteI had a tree in our garden during my growing up years. Don't think I've seen any these days - everyone's house compounds now are too small to grow much stuff.
ReplyDeletewahhhh... so nice! So it didnt bear fruit and now no more in your garden?
DeleteNever seen pomelo trees, only eaten pomeloes before, hehe.. Don't fancy them, no juice and sometimes bitter.. Very mafan to open up and cut also..
ReplyDeleteYeah, last time I didnt like to eat.. but now after hearing their benefits, I LIKE!!
DeleteMy grandparents had a pomelo tree in front of their house but the land has been sold and they were no longer around..I like the smell of the pomelo, very refreshing.
ReplyDeleteIs it? I know last time my parents used to get the pomelo leaves to put into our bath tubs...
DeleteI like to see the pomelos hanging from the tree. But I don't like to eat pomelo :)
ReplyDeletehehehe... I guess many of us dont like... but very juicy ones are nice!
DeleteMe too first time been to the pomela farm last year with my friends.
