Adventure

I mean what were we expecting, to catch a whole net of prawns?? Prawning is notoriously difficult to amateurs like us. So while the professionals opposite us were catching a prawn every 5 minutes, we congratulated ourselves on our tiny haul of 6 prawns after 2 hours with one prawning rod (the damage to our wallets was $30). We brought them home and it was cooked in a simple Chinese style: ginger, scallions, soya sauce and Shao Xing wine. I was surprised that the actual meat from the prawn is quite little as compared to the size of their heads. Perhaps they are better enjoyed skewered and charcoal grilled.

We recently went on our own tour of the farms around Kranji and stopped by Hay Dairies to feed and pet some goats. I really liked this chocolate goats milk! To my surprise, it wasn’t too “goaty” and it had a yummy mild chocolate taste. Apparently, the “goaty” smell only occurs if the buck goes near the doe during milking time.

It was definitely an interesting trip where we learnt a lot about Singapore’s local agriculture supply.
