On the second day in Taiwan, we depart from Da Keng Leisure farm to our next lunch destination!
Spot someone familiar?
Fruits Family(果农之家) is the place where we are going to take our lunch at. If the fruits are ripe on the trees, visitors can also pick from the trees and eat as much as they can for a small fee.
Under the starfruit tree
This restaurant is also part of Tian Mama where they cook healthy and fresh food right from their farm. The specialty is all of the dishes are paired with fruits since fruits are good for health. All the fruits are organic.

Pineapple with three layer pork meat!菠萝虎掌
I love pineapples and when paired with 3 layer pork then it's awesome! Sour and sweet, Chewy meat yet not greasy is the taste.

I also get to launch this water pressure rocket with the rocket made of recycled soda bottle!
Pretty fun to play with and a little wet too! There's also launch rocket competition to see who can launch their rocket furthest. The only catch is you have to run to the landing area to pick it back up before next launch.
