2D/1N NATURE GETAWAY @ TITI ECO FARM #1

4/5/2019
SATURDAY

Since my sister was back from a short 2 weeks, we decided to go for a mini retreat at Titi Eco Farm. 

After an hour drive along the winding road from Hulu Langat, we arrived at Titi Old town for our lunch at the Kong Sin restaurant.  Of course, on the menu is the area's popular Puppy Duck aka braised duck with ginger.
a quick shopping for hakka kueh around the town after lunch, but most of the items were sold out. 

 
From the town, it was around just 10 minutes to the farm.




checking out the sleeping arrangements... we have booked the whole bungalow @ Energy Garden. There are 6 twin-beds rooms.

Basic twin beds with attached bathroom - reasonably clean as they do not use a lot of chemicals and pesticides around the farm.

this is the view from the canteen..... 


Organic coffee offered. 


 
there were a few toys which the kids quickly grabbed and became engrossed with them.

Lots of  insta-corners!

This is a real bird nest.....we saw the bird flying in and out of it... .

And then the rain came...... such cool breeze and the sounds  

We all gathered at the canteen at 4.00pm for our tea time.  As it was raining, we were unable to go outside to gather our herbs, flowers and leaves for the tea-making. 

Ms Serena explaining the various ingredients used for making our ulam.. 


Now can you guess the different leaves for the ulam?
Daun Kadok, mint, ulam raja, pegaga, thai basil and tamarind leaves.  Centerpiece is raw papaya "spaghetti" and beside is dried roselle.   


Tea using mulberry leaves and dried starfruits and hibiscis flower.



YJ getting his first cookery lesson..... mixing the mochi with soy powder


Senior cook vs
junior masterchef. 






 
We all enjoyed the fresh hi-tea as can see from the empty plates! 


After tea-time we have our first yoga session.. it was held indoors as the grounds were wet after the rain besides we were "invaded" by mosquitoes!  We were informed by the farm personnel that this happens to be the mosquitoes season! Just as we were finishing off the session, we can hear the dinner gong calling us. 

Organic dinner... Fried Corn Fritters, Onion Omelette, the freshest okra-  no need for any fancy cooking, just steamed and served with dash of soy sauce; organic brown rice, stir-fry kangkong, veggie soup, braised taufoo with carrot; and steamed mini eggplants.
