Cameron Highlands - Day 2

Cameron Highlands :: Day 2

Day 2 - Early in the morning, there is another place which you can't missed out - Vegetable market! You can find all kind of vegetable here and it's cheap. Futhermore, you can try out their fried oyster mushroom, steamed potato, sweet corn at some stall here. Oh ya, you can buy some flowers to your love one or for yourself, cheaper price than everywhere.

Some of the stall sells 13packs for RM10, some 10packs for RM10.

After vegetable market walk, lunch time for us again. Since yesterday we have our lunch and dinner at Fong Lum restaurant and O.K. Tuck restaurant, today we decided to try out at "Wai Yat restaurant".

Restaurant owner recommended us to try on their Fresh Strawberry Juice. RM3.50

滑旦河, RM5

广府炒鸳鸯, RM5

香底米, RM5

泰式炒饭, RM6. From my point of view, it does not taste like thai fried rice, more over it just like fried rice with some chicken meat in soy sauce. However, compare with "Fong Lum" restaurant, "Wai Yat restaurant" definately more cheaper than that as we found out "Fong Lum" restaurant abit pricey.

Hey, look! Recognize one of the lady there?? Not clear? Scroll down..

It's her! Celebrity - Lee Xin Jie! We met her twice in our trip, what a coincidence. She is so gorgeous if you meet her in real.

I guess she been there with her family and her Director boy friend - The Pang brothers. (Guy who wear in blue)

Yea.. Tea farm, one of my favourite place.

JJCM members.. Say cheers!

Having a cup of tea with tea farm surrounding you is definitely awesome thing! Btw, there are few tea farm you could visit at Cemeron, this is one of the tea farm called "Cameron Bharat Plantations"

Strawberry cheese tart, again.. you can find strawberry everywhere..

On the way home, we stop by "Green View Garden" somewhere located at Kampung Raja which selling some strawberry made cake, ice cream, strudel, sandwich and etc etc..

Since we are out of town, so we decided to heading towards to Ipoh for our dinner. And the ever famous thing beside Ipoh Leng Lui should be?? - Ipoh Bean Sprouts Chicken (in Cantonese called as Nga Choi Kai) 芽菜鸡. Lots of people said don't go for "Lou Wong" restaurant because their "nga coi gai" won't be nicer than other restaurant, but I myself been there few times when I was study at Kampar and it's actually ok.

Anyway, me and my friends still decided to drop by "Onn Kee Restaurant" beside "Lou Wong". As expected at Sunday night, we need to wait for long queue to get a table.

There you go.. A plate of Chicken dish for 5 of us, it comes separately with bean sprouts and chicken. Their chicken taste good, soft and tender.

A side serving of bean sprouts that come separately with the chicken. If you would like to have bean sprouts which is shorter and fatter one, you can find it at "Lou Wong restaurant".

Ipoh Ho Fun, 怡保河粉

You can choose go with "ho fun" or rice, 油饭

Oh~! I can never missed out this one! Crispy Chicken Biscuit - 鸡仔饼, this is a must have for your friends or family sourvenior. I have bought 3 different packs of crispy chicken biscuit back to KL.

Another thing I have brought back to KL is this.. Crispy Oyster Mushroom which I bought at Green View Garden. It's something like snack food with Wasabi flavour.

This is how it looks like.

You can smell the Wasabi while your first bite however after few bites, it's tasteless.. Nothing special for me, I still prefer the Oyster Mushroom eat with steamboat style. lolz

Cameron Highlands - Day 1

Been to Cameron Highlands once again and this time was with JJCM members on 25-26th October 2008 for 2 days 1 night trip, it's abit late I post on blog because I need to collect all the picture before start blogging it.

We depart at 9am in the morning and met up my friends @ Kepong. Toll: Sg.Buloh - Simpang Pulai.

My lovely cow cow follow me to Cameron Highlands this time.. (The truth is.. My friend has kidnapped him to Cameron.. ^_~)

Our Breakfast McValue Meal bought from Kepong Drive-Thru - McD, Sausage McMuffin with Roast Coffee and Hash Browns. Charging our day!

After 2 hours journey, finally we have reached Simpang Pulai Toll, exit 137. For those who do not sure how to using new road to Cameron Highlands, here is some guideline for you. After exit at Simpang Pulai toll, turn right at the traffic light then turn right again at the next traffic light about 200 metres away. You are now on the way to Cameron Highlands and you will see signs to Kampung Raja or Cameron Highlands along the way. Don't be suprise or suspect if you see there are only mountain around you.

After about 1 hour, you will reach Kampung Raja junction where you have to turn right from the new road into Kampung Raja town and you are in Cameron Highlands. Just follow the main road to your destination, most likely Brinchang & Tanah Rata.

P.S.: Make sure you have at least half tank of fuel before you start your journey from the expressway exit due to another hour to go after exit at Simpang Pulai toll.

Look at the traffic at Cameron Highlands.. It's massive jam while public holiday so avoid to go Cameron Highlands on public holiday if you don't feel like stuck in jam all the way.

We have reached Brinchang after 3 hours journey and everybody feels hungry! It's time to cari cari makan for our lunch. We decided to stop by Brinchang and having our lunch at Fong Lum restaurant.

Hot & Sour vegetable soup..

I have forgotten what the dish called as.. Should be hot and spicy chicken cube.

It doesn't make sense if we having seafood at Cameron Highlands right? And it will cost bloody expensive if you order meat or seafoods. Thus, vegetable is a must had dish.

Catus Valley is one of the place to visit at Cameron Highlands. You need to pay for the ticket before visiting their catus or flowers and etc.

Close shot of one of the catus.

Yo! JJCM members here..

After doing some research, we have decided to go for dinner at O.K. Tuck restaurant. You can order rice and dishes or go for their steamboat in the cold night. Their steamboat is RM15 per pax and I think this is a good deal at Cameron.

A plate of Bihun and 5 eggs for 5 persons.

A plate of Chicken and Fish.

Vegetables as usual.

Half plate of prawns.

Half plate of fish ball.

Another plate of Bean curd and squid

There are 5 plates of variety for our steamboat. The portions are big and it's worthy.

We go for Tom Yam base and Clear soup base.

It's time to digest after dinner. I love their pasar malam walk, it's a must visit place in Cameron Highlands. At pasar malam, you can find lotsa fried stuff, fresh strawberry, vegetables, sweet corn and even D.I.Y. Ice cream at one of the stall.

Do-It-Yourself Ice Cream. There are few steps teaching you how to D.I.Y. your favour ice cream.

Choose your flavour.

Beside fresh strawberry, they sellings dried strawberry, dried tomato, dried bitter gourd, dried orange, dried blackcurrant and etc in a box.

This is one of my favourite, Strawberry KoKo Jelly, other flavour as Apple, Mango and Blackcurrent KoKo Jelly.

Fried Oyster Mushroom you can found it everywhere in Cameron Highlands.

We found a pretty at pasar malam selling all the fried stuff there. After walking and eating, we ta pao one box Fried Oyster Mushroom back for our supper.

Con't.. Day 2
