点评:I visited as part of a coach tour with 40+ others, all of us retirees. I have no idea about the cost levied by Tropical Fruit World.
Our time at the site included a fruit tasting, tractor-hauled site tour with stops for banana and macadamia tasting, and lunch. There was plenty of time left for us to buy coffee, ice cream or seriously over-priced goods from the venue's shop.
The fruit tasting just OK. Everyone in our group received a small platter with segments of orange, mandarin, grapefruit, papaya, pineapple, avocado sprinkled with herbed salt and black sapote aka chocolate pudding fruit. The latter was the only one unknown to me. It was interesting but bland. The best (for me) segment was the avocado and herbed salt. It was delicious.
The farm tour was well worthwhile. The property is picturesque. We had brief introductions to large numbers of fruits I'd never heard of previously. Our guide was personable and interesting. When we stopped to sample bananas and macadamias, the bananas were fresh and delicious, so much sweeter than those we get in supermarkets in Sydney. There were lots of nut crackers available and plenty of time to crack and eat fresh macadamias.
Lunch comprised sandwiches, salad and herbed chips. The latter were the BEST chips ever!! Sandwiches (esp the garlicky poached chicken and spinach) were delicious. The salads were also very good. As well as a mixture of green leaves they included segments of cherry tomatoes, cucumber and diced beetroot. The dressing was subtle, delicious and did not overpower the salad.
The retail side of this property is very fully priced. It's worth buying items produced at Tropical Fruit World such as dried fruits and some of the herbed salts. Otherwise, it is just an over-priced tourist trap.
翻译:我是作为一个由40多位退休老人组成的旅行团的一员去参观的。我完全不清楚热带水果世界收取的费用是多少。
我们在那里的活动包括水果品尝、由拖拉机牵引的园区游览——途中还停下来品尝香蕉和澳洲坚果——以及午餐。之后我们还有充裕的时间去商店购买咖啡、冰淇淋,或者一些价格贵得离谱的商品。
水果品尝体验也就那样吧。我们团里的每个人都分到了一个小托盘,上面放着橘子、柑橘的果瓣。葡萄柚、木瓜、菠萝、牛油果,上面撒着香草盐;还有黑柿,又称“巧克力布丁果”。其中只有黑柿是我从未见过的。它挺有意思,但味道平淡无奇。对我来说最棒的还是牛油果配香草盐,真是美味极了。
农场游览非常值得一去。整个庄园风景如画。我们简要地了解了许多我以前从未听说过的水果。导游既友善又有趣。当我们停下来品尝香蕉和夏威夷果时,那些香蕉新鲜又美味,比我们在悉尼的超市里买到的要甜得多。现场有很多用来剥坚果的工具,我们也有充足的时间来剥开并享用新鲜的夏威夷果。
午餐有三明治、沙拉以及带香草味的薯片。这些薯片简直是史上最佳的薯片!!那些三明治(尤其是蒜香水煮鸡胸肉配菠菜的那款)也极其美味。沙拉同样非常不错。沙拉中除了各种绿叶蔬菜外,还添加了樱桃番茄块、黄瓜以及切丁的甜菜根。酱汁味道细腻可口,丝毫不会掩盖沙拉本身的风味。
这家店的零售价格定得相当高。不过,购买“热带水果世界”出品的干果或各种香草盐还是值得的。除此之外,它不过就是一个价格虚高的旅游景点罢了。
