Have Fun @ UK Farm

Date:  Sep 10, 2016

We planned this just 2 weeks ago.

Booked everything thru Agoda.  (Or you can book directly from their website).

Even when you book thru Agoda, you get the following…

  • High Tea at 3pm
  • 2-3 hours Farm Tour
  • Dinner (very nice mutton & chicken Satay, Otak)
  • You get to feed the animals
  • You get to learn everything about Sheep and Goats
  • Breakfast
  • Sheep Challenges

It is quite fun I must say…

The Farm is about 17km away from Ayer Hitam exit from the North South Highway.  It is about 1.5 hours drive from Singapore with no traffic.

We book two chalet rooms from Agoda.

And it includes the high tea, breakfast and dinner.  3 meals.

If you not staying, and simply come for a day trip.  This is their price.  The entrance ticket with the farm tour cost almost S$100 (RM291.50).

The farm is quite big.  And the chalet is build surrounded by all the sheep and goats home.

IMG_4825.jpg

But the most valuable thing is this 2-3 hours farm tour.  Let me show you why later.

This is where we stay.  In two of these chalet rooms.

The room rates is counted by heads.  They will give you enough beds.

The room is quite decent, clean, with fan and aircon and even have TV.  But the natural cooling is much better.

The toilet are decent, but they do not provide toothbrushes and tooth paste.  So, you need to bring them.  They provide big bottles of shampoo and body soup.

The only thing is you do not open the door too wide, otherwise, the flies will fly into the room.  But not to worry, they provide two fly capture sticky pad or trap to trap the flies.

All those are fruit flies, and they are in general quite clean bah…

Jay & Kay and his friends are thrill to find out that the two chalet room are connected rooms.  So, simply open the door, it becomes a big huge room.

So, they ended up kick all the parents to sleep in the other room, and they all four of them had a room by themselves.

Outside the chalet room, you have seats to sit down.

IMG_4199.jpg

In front of chalet is where you park you vehicle.  And after that, is a big piece of grass field.

IMG_4194.jpg

Kids can run wild here.

IMG_4209.jpg

You can discover new things from time to time.  We have no idea what is this.  Looks like a mini pumpkin.

IMG_4227.jpg

If it rains, you can stay inside the room and play.

IMG_4204.jpg

Once you check in, they will give every one enough food to feed animals and the coupons and tickets are all prepared.

IMG_4203.jpg

The “UK” is not stand for United Kingdom.  It is actually the owner’s middle name initials.  hahaha

IMG_4245.jpg

Let’s start this amazing tour.  Let’s move out.

Farm Tour

IMG_4248.jpg

Suddenly the bus stop.

Why?  Because there are a herd of sheep is crossing the road and on their way back to their quarters.  hahaha

You don’t get to see this every day.  And certainly not at our Kranji’s Hays goat farm there.

Tour guide explains what the goat eats.

They loves the visitors.

IMG_4720.jpg

This tiny goat only born 4 days ago.

The kids love it because of the close encounter with the baby goat…

In Singapore Hays Goat fram, they don’t let you touch any goat.  Here, it is like a common thing to do.

Feed Milk to Goat

OK.  Next event.  We are visiting the baby goat quarters.

And we feed them goat milk.  Wow!  How cool can that be… And you can stick your finger into the baby goat mouth, and it feels great!

This experience I don’t think you can get anywhere.  But here at UK Farm, it is a very cool thing to feed the young one milk.

And Ashlyn drops her milk bottle.  So funny.

Jay was having lots of fun!

Children loves goats.

Next event.

Carrying Goat

Wow, you can carry the baby goat.

_DSF8206.jpg

The kids gone crazy about it.

_DSF8209.jpg

The baby goat is about 5-7KG, so, it should be light enough to carry.

And Kay Kay wanted to carry every one of them.

IMG_4778.jpg

The kids never expect this kind of things so they go all way out.

The kids love it.  Not so sweet.  But tasty.

Look at all these hungry ducks.

I think as long as it is animal, not so fierce the kids will love it.

_DSF8302.jpg

Ostriches

OK.  I think the most dangerous feeding is this.

Let the brave souls try it out…

_DSF8317.jpg

You need to pay RM5 for each person extra for a night tour.

IMG_4481.jpg

The local with flash lights will find the night animal for us.

We found some wild boar.  owls, snake, chameleon.

Sky Lantern

Something you cannot do in Singapore.  And if you do it in Taiwan, you usually do it in the afternoon.  If you like me do it during CNY back in Hometown you usually do it at mid night.  And now, 9pm… we flying our sky lantern.

IMG_4520.jpg

The kids are excited.  We got two lantern to fly for two rooms.

And here goes our first Sky Lantern.

Before sleep, watch some Pokemon cartoon.

Breakfast

This is my breakfast.  The Nasi is fantastic.

IMG_4833.jpg

And I also try out the Bak Kut The Mutton.  It was okay.  The goat smell is rather strong in this.

IMG_4837.jpg

Of course there are chow mian too.

IMG_4831.jpg

As well as Samosa.

IMG_4828.jpg

And Spring Rolls.

IMG_4829.jpg

Swings

There are a lot of retro swing here.  Try them out.

IMG_4841.jpg

So nice.

Sheep Challenge

The last activity you do here is to capture the sheep.

_DSF8554.jpg

All you need to do is to surround the sheep an try to capture one.  How hard can this be ya?

errr… no so easy ya

Why so hard to capture them?

IMG_4854.jpg

Not easy

Very hard.

IMG_4880.jpg

hahaha

So that concludes our 2 day 1 night stay here.

I kind of like the way how they provide the tour.  They basically allow you to touch every thing.  You can hold the rabbit, the chicks the sheep, etc.

They even have the sheep challenge for you to capture the sheep.  hahaha

It is fun for the kids.

For us, we check out around 10:30am and head towards the Desaru beach.
