We have been invited by our sister club the Food Connoisseurs Club to join them to visit a local mushroom farm.
Mycofarm is Singapore’s largest commercial mushroom growing facility and the only farm cultivating exotic mushroom that grown in temperate countries. The guided tour to our Pesticide-free farm usually lasted for about an hour or more. It is suitable for multi racial groups of different age and we are well capable of catering to the special needs of the organizers. The tour consists of viewing air-conditioned growing houses of 2 different mushrooms that only grow in cold climate, an interesting cooking demonstration followed by a food tasting session of the various delicious mushrooms. Throughout the whole tour, our guide will be introducing you to some interesting facts and lesser known secrets about the different types of mushrooms, their medical properties and things to look out for when storing or cooking them.Throughout the whole tour, our guide will be introducing you to some interesting facts and lesser known secrets about the different types of mushrooms, their medical properties and things to look out for when storing or cooking them.
