Durian farm

[Ix0107]

Greeting everyone,

 

I do not have any experience planning for group drive-up, and therefore took quite a while to finalize anything.

Many apologies.

 

Change plan and like to try another durian farm "Sim Koa Yen" in Malacca.

http://www.simkoayen.com.my/eng_com_background.htm

Just made a call from Genting, spoken to the Mr Yap.

Our intended date 18/7 not a good durian harvest, best is 27/6 or 4/7.

* no minimum pax, must call in advance.

* for small group, no need to pay 30% deposit, based on mutual trust.

Very tempted [craze for durians] to go for 27/6, but abit too rush for everyone.

So going on 4/7/2010.

 

 

Therefore, I wish to finalize my plan as follows :

Event : Leisure Drive-up for Durian Buffet.

Date : 4/7/2010 [sun]

Meeting Time : 0800 hrs

Move Out : 0815 hrs

Meeting point : Petronas Petrol Station @ Gelang Patah Rest Area, Malaysia.

* in case, anyone not familiar or 1st-time into Malaysia, I will meet you earlier [0715 hrs] @ Sheng Siong Jalan Bahar.

Destination : Sin Koa Yen Durian Farm, Malacca, Malaysia.

Est distance/time : 230km, 3 hrs.

Est speed : according to post speed limits.

Pricings : RM40/adult, RM20/child [<12 yrs], FOC child <5 yrs. RM5 for visitor who don't eat/buy durians.

Take-away pricings : RM15~18/kg [10kg ~ 6 durians].

 

* do check out the above link for more information : map, landmarks, Facebook, etc....

* I do not have GPS and comms set, just rely on google map.

* estimated return time @ Tuas Checkpoint ~ 1700 hrs.

* hope that the above would be acceptable to those interested.

Choose "Where to?" then scroll down choose "Position"

[Dwoon]

Bro,

 

Where in Pekan Nenas? Have coordinates?

 

Thanks

 

 

Bro,

 

 

IMO, Melaka is too far. If it is your first time out for durian, then should pick a nearer place, eg Pekan Nenas. Driving towards to Melaka is OK but the return is going to be painful when your stomach is full of durian. Remember it is 3 hours drive at 110km/h to Johor Immigration. If you factor in the potential jam at Singapore Immigration and journey home, it will be another 1.5 hours.

Pekan Nenas is about half an hour ride from JB.....

 

 

[Dwoon]

I know where Pekan Nenas is.... its a small town after Gelang Patah..... but where exactly is the plantation??? I don't wanna go wandering about looking aimlessly

[Ix0107]

Erm... You guys not going together?

[Enzomatrix]

Ya, your are right, Melaka is a further away.

Originally, after my Desaru Fruit Farm, I thot of going to this Melaka farm, then heard about the drive-up to Pagoh, so thot can try Pagoh becos nearer, but since not familiar with the Pagoh location, decided to revert to this Melaka farm.

During drive back from Genting 24/6, we estimated Melaka exit is about 1/2hrs away from Pagoh exit.

Perhap, stick to the plan for Melaka, and provide FR when we return.

That why I said there will be a lot of "durian drive-up" sprouting up.

Those who are interested have many dates to fit into their schedules.
