My visit to the Tropical Fruit Farm

I have known Mr Quah of the Tropical Fruit Farm for over ten years. I have often told him, one day I would pay you a visit. But I never did materialize until this year, when on a visit with my friend Lindsay Gasik (author of Year of the Durian), my wife and I joined her and a group of visitors to the farm.

Here I am with Mr Quah Ewe Kheng in his visitor centre, where fruit enzymes are made. (20 June 2016)

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
