Hello,
Many would prefer to travel away from Malaysia for vacation because you see different culture, background, unique architect-ed cities etc. But as Malaysians, I think our own country has so much to offer too! Have you ever travelled to atleast more than 4 states? (Please exclude islands =w=)
As promised, I did my best to list down some of the key places you should visit in Cameron Highlands. Fair warning though, experience is very subjective. Rest assured, it is a very (i really mean very) peaceful and serene environment, suitable for a relaxing getaway.
Driving up is the better option and it takes only about less than 2 hours using the safer Simpang Pulai road! At the base of the hill sits a Avant Chocolate Factory selling variety of chocolates and tea, before starting your journey up, you can take a rest in its cafe and enjoy some strawberry desserts!
Great gifts available too! |
Those strudels!! <3 td="">3> |
Near Brinchang will be the Kea Farm, strawberry farm, Boh Plantation etc. One which you might want to visit is the Lavender farm~ Entrance fee is RM 5 for adults.
My favorite color :) |
Self Pick Strawberry service is available here in Lavender farm |
In Brinchang, you can't miss out their healthy steamboat menu, the ratio of fresh vegetables to meat is a 3 to 1!! (Cameron Organic Produce Steamboat in particular). My apologies pals, no picture for this because my stomach was fighting for attention.
This will forever be my #1 place to land in if I ever to come again to CH. Big Red Strawberry Farm has assortment of lettuce, strawberry and even cactus farm, at the top sits a mini cafe which sells strawberry dessert. The yogurt + honey + strawberry dessert is to die for!
Cannot. Resist. Everything is strawberry goodness!! |
Up for beautiful scenery/buildings? Ye Olde Smokehouse is a unique structure with a flavor of German style that only can be found in either in Bukit Tinggi or here in Brinchang.
What is there to do at night? Visit the Brinchang Night Market at 6pm situated near the police station! (warning: leave early for this, you would't want to be stuck in the jam). The night market only opens on the Friday and Saturday night.
If you're already bored with Brinchang, you can always travel further to Tanah Rata for more! On the way down, take a relaxing break in the famous Golfer's course and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate!
Basically, food in Tanah Rata is almost the same as the city. However, you can't find homemade creamy scones anywhere but in The Lord's cafe!!
Scones and Passion Fruit Boh Tea = Bliss |
Rained every afternoon since we came. |
You might also wanna go for pancakes in Yong Teng cafe, show some love to the most loving old couple in town!
Next stop, Sarawak and probably China for family vacation in 2013 :)
Cheers,
Felicia
