Cameron Highland 2009



Hotel Titiwangsa at Brinchang. http://picasaweb.google.com/chetbing/CameronHigland2009TitiwangsaHotel##


After Sungai Palas BOH Tea Centre, we headed to Ipoh town for "芽菜鸡" and some other famous local foods. The "芽菜鸡" = 豆芽 & 菜园鸡, shall not miss when you come to Ipoh. (Ipoh is about 75km away from Brinchang. )

But too bad that many popular restaurants rest on Sunday, like 新源隆 coffee shop, so we only went to "天津饮冰室".

Cameron Highland Trip - Sungai Palas BOH Tea Centre (31/05/09)







Our second target of this trip. I have seen many pictures on internet and have been attracted by the modern design tea shop and fascinating view of the tea plant.


We departed from hotel around 8.20am. We wanted to be early bird so we had ample time for photo sessions and avoided the crowd since this is the hotest spot in CH.


It closes on every Monday.

Cameron Highland Trip - Ye Olde Smoke House (30/05/09)





This is the 1st destination of this journey. Standing alongside the Golf Course. Consider the most famous building in CH. Serving the best English scones, strawberry jam and steaks. So does the pricing. hey...
Checking the pricing of England Tea & scones set, and dinner. The prices are stunning!
Good place for taking picture outside the door way but cannot get into the lush garden unless you are their patrons or you have obtained their permission.

Where is our son? (The cameron man who took thispicture.)


Beautiful plant.

Cameron Highlang Trip - On The Way (30/05/09)

This is our second visit to CH since 2005.

Again, we went there by the old route (Tapah - CH) because the scenery of both new and old route are much different, and we also would like to know the latest development of the old route.

We departed from Kulai at 6.30am, arrived Tanah Rata at 3pm. Because we ever stick in the traffic jam somewhere at Rawang.

Following the old route, you will pass by the Lata Iskandar Waterfall, where you may drop by here as there are some stalls beside the road selling honeys, flowers, petai, souvenir, snacks and drinks. The waterfall is visible from the road. But we didn't stop by since we were late and hadn't have our lunch.

Below are the pictures taken at a tea shop few miles away from Tanah Rata. If I am not wrong, this tea shop and the tea plant belong to Bhara.

As I was feeling a bit dizzy and like to have something to fill my empty stomach, my sister-in-law bought us 2 cakes and 2 cups of tea. Can you guess this cost her how much?
RM22 !!! (Wow! Very expensive right?)
