A late evening trip to agro-expo 2016

It has been a while since I met my fellow agricultural science course mates. At the same time, an annually organized grand expo - Malaysia Agriculture, Horticulture & Agrotourism (MAHA) 2016 is going on, so I decided to have my gathering in the expo!  hehe.


The theme for this year expo is "OUR FOOD OUR FUTURE"

We reached there around 6 pm, and it is superrrr crowded !!! 
The late hour did not stop people from coming (The expo is on until 10 pm).

So first stop we have a walk around the open area bazaar before the sun goes down.


Look at this enormous air plant (Tillandsia sp.)! The shall owner said it has been 10 years! 
NOT FOR SALE, ONLY FOR DISPLAY :D

Chili for SALE! RM100 per plant! 
But trust me the rate of investment if fruitful! 
The price of chili is RM7 per kg in average. 

Now Malaysia is trying to cut down import of chili, 
thus helping in stabilizing the floating chili price. 


Bird eye chili! 
Look at the countless number of chilies !

We had some walk around and sky soon turned dark, so we decided to move into the expo main hall.


We are welcomed by these gorgeous Royal Palm! 

We just loved the design of the expo hall. 


An island of flowers and water feature.
