Trip to Yu- Jing (玉井)

Yu-Jing (玉井)


Frut Farmer's House 果農之家





Tsengwen Reservoir Scenery Area (曾文水庫)




Joseph, the English teacher at Sheng-Kung Girl's High School, invited us to go to Frut farmer's house (果農之家) in Yu-Jing (玉井). They (Jojo, Joseph, Rich, and Rich's family) all meet at 9:30 A.M. at Sheng-Kung. David, Alan and I were leaving from Sigang. We drove about 40 minutes to our destination. It is 10 A.M. it was too early for our appointment. In the meantime, we went to the Yu-Jing's downtown to see what is the place good for. I was waiting for them at the Yu-Jing's police station. It is a big police station that I never seen before. After 40 minutes waiting, they are here, finally.

The first stop is 果農之家, Frut Framer's house. This place is a restaurant with a beautiful nature. It is a peaceful place with green trees, grass and green wide open spaces. I can see and heard birds singing and other kinds of animals were playing. Alan and Sara (Rich's daughter) were playing happily. After drinking a cup of coke and apple soda, it is time to go inside to have our lunch.

The restaurant is extremely big. It is just 11:30 A.M. and there's a lot of people eating over there already. The dishes are so special, because each plate is so colorful and it cooked with some fruits like mango, papaya, green melon, banana, raxapple, pinaple, fruit tea, and more. This place is so special and their dishes are so special too. I really enjoyed eating each course meal over there. I did not even think that fruits can be cooked as a meal.

After eating, we went to Tsengwen Reservoir Scenery Area (曾文水庫). I could see the water we drink. According to David and Joseph, the water of our city is getting less and less. We should save some water when we cook, drink or take shower. In this place, it is not only good for the nature but also it is good for the coconut ice cream. The coconut ice cream, is inside of a small brown coconut after eating it, you can bring the empty coconut home.

If I have visitors, I will bring them to these places. I will make them to taste delicious food of the Frut Farmer's House. It is a great place to relax and be with friends. Thanks Joseph for inviting us over there. We really enjoyed the lunch and the trip.
