Sekinchan Part I

It's girl trip! It had been such a long time since our last outing and this was rather casual too. We drive all the way down to this village which is recently seem to be famous. There's also a few tour company who provide this one day trip to Sekinchan from Kuala Lumpur charging per person around RM100 which include transport, meal and ticket.

Sekinchan have three village namely Village A, Village B and Village C. We first travel to Village A for fruits. Heard that their mango here is famous. But the four of us with the very weak internet speed here, Waze couldn't direct us to the right direction and so we are lost in the middle of paddy field. We came down from the car and took a few photo with the paddy field. Bump into a temple and walk around.

We continue our journey by asking an old lady for the direction to the fruit farm we found on web. But, she wasn't familiar to this tourist attraction so she instead bring us to another fruit farm which own by her son in law. She ride on her motorcycle and lead us the way. The people here are friendly, just ask if you are lost. 

They own a guava farm, bumpy road with red sand and a little mud. The owner straight ahead pick one of his guava, wash it and cut on the spot for us to try. The guava taste so nice, it's the not the normal ones we get from night market. It's fresh, sweet not bitter, crunchy, and big in size. So aunt straight away ordered 30 guavas from him.

My sister squatting down for the shed trying to hide from the sun. The plant here is rather short and small in size, but incredibly producing big size fruit. We saw also few mango tree and papaya tree plant at their neighborhood with the same concept of small size tree, big size fruit. I wonder is it something to do with the fruit species or their soil?

After weighing and paying, we later depart to Village B, the rice processing factory with more paddy field. The ticket to the rice processing factory cost RM5 which include also a pack of 280g rice. When you first enter, there will direct you to a room which they played you a video on rice processing and a person explaining to you the different types of rice they produce in this factory. And later you will be tour and watch how they process the rice.

We drive a little further into the bumpy road and got lost again for the second time. Despite the beautiful scenery, we park our car aside and have our photo session with this beautiful paddy field. My models are ready and are posing for the camera.

If you wish to come, please do check out the growth of paddy field first to avoid disappointment. This photo is taken around late April giving the green going to mature and produce rice grain. It will turn golden yellow around early May and it takes only 10 days for them to harvest it ;) See if I have any chance to capture the golden yellow moment.
