Fruit Farm

Our final stop at the 23 acres fruit farm in which we saw the mulberry tree, gooseberry tree, passion fruit tree and many more. We even got to taste the cocoa fruit which was very sweet. After that we went to the shopping mall 'Giant' to buy some souvenirs. Some of us took the opportunity to try their local food in the food court.

Lunch and Fish Farm

We had our lunch at the High King restaurant by the sea. Here we could also see the fisherman loading their catch from the sea. We took a boat to the fish farm and we saw the snappers, snake fish, king crab and fishes which catch their prey by spitting! Most of the fishes are sold to the restaurants in Kukup or Singapore. They reared the fish from small fry which they bought from Thailand.

Prawn cracker making factory

Our next stop was the prawn cracker factory, a cottage industry. We saw how the flour and other ingredients were mixed and then fried. The different flavours were added to the prawn crackers using a machine which looks like a cement mixer.

Pewter Factory

On 3 September 2002, a total of 81 Sec 1 and Sec 2 students went on an educational tour to Kukup. The teachers-in-charge are Mrs Florence Lee, Ms Low Ah Mai, Mrs Lily Lee and Mrs Devan. Our first stop at the Pewter factory.The tin, copper and antimony are melted and cast in a mould. After filing, the components are soldered together and then polished. There are 11 workers and the process of making the pewter wares is very labour-intensive. Carina, our guide, explaining to the students about the origin of pewter and the making of the pewter wares. There was a display of the alloy used and the pewter wares. The alloys are melted and casted in a mould. After casting, the worker trim away the unwanted portion.
