personal tour di kebun buah-buahan di Otaki

Aloooo ...another posting weekend aku  a couple of weeks ago ..ingat tak yang aku dijemput gi potluck lunch at a house in Otaki? Well, the host lives in this house surrounded by his fruit orchards ..kitorang sampai awal, and pas sembang2 he told us to just jalan2 while waiting for the others to arrive ..kitorang datang awal coz he asked us datang awal untuk tolong dia and have a chance to talk to hima nd his wife ..coz once everybody is there hard to talk hahaha ...

He has this huge land ...and memang surrounded by fruit trees ...the most notable are his apple trees ..bermacam2 apple variety ..i lost count at 8 varieties ....different colour ..different taste ..and different stage in term of its ripeness ....most tak masak ranum lagi ...by march and april baru masak and boleh dipetik kata nya ...

 muka2 excited posing ngan apple hahaha

i was surprised tengok certain kawasan sangat semak ...pastu the host explained le bukan dia tak larat nak tebas ..but he is saving it to make hay ...in fact masa tu dia bagitau orang yang buat hay tu akan datang the followig week to clear those grass and make hays for him ...

this is grapefruit ....kak shidah ambik ad rasa and said manis ...aku tak ambik ...coz in my experience ..selalu dapat grapefruit masam haha i always avoided grapefruit ....

close up on the grapefruit

yang aku dok makan was the tangerine ...petik from the tree and makan kat situ gak ..very sweet and refreshing ..kalau lama berdiri kat situ memang banyakle aku abiskan ...unbelievably sweet!

tangerine ...somehow reminded my of pokok limau masa CNY :-)

we also spent a few minutes picking strawberries ..mak aiii gemuk2 strawberry dia ..and so sweet ...so sambil jejalan lawat kawasan, kami makan buah2an yang kami petik ...awesome kan???

hehehe carik strawberry yang banyak terselindung di bawah rumput :-)

and pastu kitorang gi tengok all his haiwan peliharaan pulak ...so many variety ...ayam katik ada sepasang ...itik ...ayam biasa ..and even ada lembu ..but aku tak gi tengok lembu ..sebab kat kawasan sebelah ..aku remain kat area buah2an mostly ....

 lemon ...banyak sangat buah nya ...sampai tak dipetik

pastu otw back to the house tu banyak lagi variety buah ...fig, grapes, plums and so on ...semua belum masak lagi ....so aku feast my eyes ajer on them .....

grapes yang tak masak lagi

 Fig - also tak masak lagi ..balik tu aku singgah supermarket beli dried fig ..hehehe the week before tu aku jenuh makan dried fig kat opis ...opismate aku dapat kiriman dari his mom ...mak dia balik from their negara asal and sent him a box of dried figs and other goodies ...sedap ....so, now aku aim to try fresh fig pulak ...klau in BM, fig nie panggil apa eh?

plum ...the mini plum variety ..cute comel ajer size nya

and kat depan rumah dia pun ada banyak lagi pokok pokok buah2an ..yang paling menarik perhatian aku are the pears ..mak aiiii so lebat buahnya ....sampah kena tongkat dahan pokok tu!

Ms. S and I commented yang kitorang rasa cam jalan2 kat sunday market masa jalan2 kat sini hehehe cuma the difference is that kat sii buah2an masih bergantungan lol ....it was an awesome day to be able to see all this ...and experience jejalan makan buah cam tu ...ooo the potluck was awesome too..i get to know new people :-)

next posting aku tunjuk other pictures of the kawasan rumah tu ..with its wonderful flowers
