Taman Pertanian Bukit Cahaya Sri Alam

Last month, B and I went to the Taman Pertanian Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam (TPBCSA) aka Taman Botani Negara? It is literally in our backyard but I had only visited it once before with M and A. This time though, I noted that the signage along Persiaran Kayangan says that it is the National Botanic Garden! We have a National Botanic Garden after all?

Just outside to the entrance of the TPBCSA, an enterprising little girl was selling these ingeniously made grasshoppers. Quite, quite lifelike! For entry into the garden/park, B had to pay RM3, and moi RM1 (aah, the perks of being a golden girl!)

We were there in the late morning/early afternoon, so it was too hot already to bike or hike. So we did the next best thing - take the complimentary bus ride around the park. We spotted live monkeys, and other creatures in stone. Of course the place was lush with greenery. (Previously with M and A, we were there early and so could bike around).

After our bus ride around the park, we were ready for lunch at the canteen there. My platter consisted of rice, fried chicken, some curry and for vegetables - turi & ubi manis masak lemak. Yummy!
