Treasures Within…

Was back to explore Lim Chu Kang, Singapore, early this morning…

1st Stop: Hay Dairies Farm, Lim Chu Kang Lane 4

 

Milking process start from 9am to 11am…

Farm helpers putting the goats in line…

Goats are cleaned before the milking process begins…

Milk are being stuck and stored into the drum below before processing…

Here you go… the final product -> goats milk. Taste good and lite…

 S$2.50 for 250ml pack

Deliveries are available with a minimum orders of 2 litres a week (S$8 for 1 litre bottle pack)

Goat milk is known to be more easily digestible compared to cow milk. It contains a large number of small fat globules and lacks a protein agglutnin. This difference is a reason why goat milk does not required homogenization which is commonly carried out for cow milk which otherwise would partition itself into 2 distinct layers.

Next… we purchased a pack of Alfalfa Hay to feed the goats in Barn 2…

The baby goats were so cute…

 

2nd Stop: Jurong Frog Farm, LCK Lane 6

 Well… it wasn’t a very pleasant visit thou… somehow if you think you like frog legs alot… i reckon don’t visit the farm… you might not want to have frog legs anymore after the visit ha…

“Ching Ming Festival”

Ching Ming -> Grave-Sweeping Day, observed on April 5 Lunar Calendar. According to my research, this ancestor worshipping day originated from China where family members gathered together to weed and clean the headstone, replace the wilted flowers with fresh ones and also offer incense, paper money and food to their ancestor as a virtue of filial piety.

 

Ching Ming is a major public festival in Singapore… as you can see… people already startws their Ching Ming visiting as early as 3 weeks before the actual day…

Along Lim Chu Kang Road…

Ching Ming is also indicated on traditional Japanese calendars, where their culture has a similar observance. In Korean culture, the observance is known as Hansik.

Coming Up…

Don’t miss my upcoming blog on Angkor Wat and Japan Spectacular trip this May… till then… I am counting down : )
