Zenxin Organic Park organises day trips out of Singapore to their park as well as local sights in Kluang, Malaysia. On behalf of my company’s recreation club (where I am a volunteer member), I organized this tour for my colleagues. Look at the jammed pack itinerary below. At $65, I thought it was good value for money.

08.00 Arrival at Singapore Checkpoint
11.00 Arrival at Zenxin Organic Park
11.15 Special Farm-Guided Tour
12.00 Lunch at Zenxin Chef-Garden Restaurant (Chinese meal set)

13.30 Proceed to Kluang City Tour, Buying local famous cookies- Tau Sah Piah, Handmade Noodle and coffee time at Kluang Railway station
16.00 Visit L.A Dairy Goat Farm
17.30 Back to Zenxin Farm – "Be an organic farmer" Program (Harvesting)
18.00 Dinner at Zenxin Chef Garden restaurant (Steamboat)
19.00 Leave Zenxin Farm
22:00 Estimated Time of Arrival back to SG Lavender MRT Station
We had an initial scare in the morning when the bus driver did not arrive. For some reason, we were unable to get through to his M’sian HP number and we thought he’d absconded! We only found him at 8.15am parked in some ulu location after a colleague decided to try his luck down some back alley.
Other than that, the rest of the day went superbly. I really enjoyed seeing Malaysia in the company of my lively colleagues. It certainly is very different from touring with my parents or the Partner. I am so inspired to do a grand tour of Malaysia. It is just next to Singapore yet I have experienced but a speck of it.
Hey Hey…this looks really good! I am probably go check it out one weekend…:). Nice to do something different.
btw i see you are keen on checking out Picotin soon, you should visit them this thurs. They have a great event happening on Thurs and well the buzz is usually great at this event. Go to their website and check it out 🙂
You can drive up to Zenxin Organic Park for free. But if you want to relax and do the tour, it may be slightly different from the one I had because it was specially designed for private groups. The tour they do for the public skips the kluang city places. Instead they offer a jungle trek.
Thanks for the info on Picotin. Been on my wanna visit soon list for the longest time!
I recall lovely tours I had with my nice colleagues…once even to the Night Safari 🙂 Sounds like you have wonderful colleagues at your office and they are lucky to have you as a planner.
Hey we just did one at the Night Safari too, the Halloween of Horrors one. Yes I am glad most of my colleagues are honest and down-to-earth people. Sometimes, the company culture boils down to the boss’s intentions. If backstabbing and me always syndrome is not frowned upon, people act accordingly.
